Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports

The Griffon of the World Dragon - some thoughts Hi Seredain, Thanks for the update. Can I ask, how does your BSB on his griffon, with the BotWD, operate in your army? I don't think he can join units, so is he there as a magic and shooting magnet? Also do you find that you have to be careful with yo...

Re: Crossing Swords

Thanks for the write-up SA! A super interesting game. My main takeaways: 1) The Beasts are the greatest of roadblocks. I knew I couldn't avoid them with my cavalry so just decided to accept my fate and get stuck in sooner rather than later. In part because... 2) Fiery Convocation neutered the plague...

Let us know if you ever do get that Chaos Dwarves battle played :) As for Ogre's; they're an army I would love to love. They have some lovely models and characterful choices. They're also reasonably easy to get an army ready to fight since you have a low model count. But their choices are just a bi...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports

SA, I think there are two tricks to using repeaters against ogres. 1) Use obstacles if you can find them. It’s easy mode but in a proper randomised table they have a good chance of showing up to bounce a cannonball for free. 2) Don’t be drawn into a shootout with your repeaters vs his ironblasters. ...

Congrats with the win. A shame you ran out of time. I feel that with a 4th turn in there and all your heavy hitters still at full health you should have been able to table most of his army.
