Best way to take out Screaming Bell and Warp Lightning Canno

What is the best way to take out Screaming Bell and Warp Lightning Cannon? This is what I have, so please don’t recommend something smarmy like “go buy phoenix guards” #-o . I know they’re awesome and I plan on getting some soon, but for now this is my list: Teclis Prince Althran on Sharpclaw (or ju...

Re: Line of Sight

Personally I hate the TLOS rules. I know they were trying to make things easier but really one word, scale. Now in warhammer each man is supposed to represent roughly 100 men I believe, there is a reference to it in the back of the 7th edition book. Fact is no army would ever go out to battle with ...

Re: Teclis IF on 1's AND 6's?

Okay let me put it this way: Let’s say Teclis rolled a double six in a previous spell this round. His first miscast was ignored (as per his War Crown of Saphery). He casts another spell requiring the casting cost of, say, 8+. He rolls 2, 2, 6, and 6 (I differentiated from previous 1, 1, 6, 6 since p...

Teclis IF on 1's AND 6's?

What happens if Teclis casts... say a 8+ spell with four dice and comes up 1, 1, 6, and 6? He IF with the double 1's (since the cast was successful as well) but also IF AND Miscasts with the double 6's. Do the 6's take precedence over the 1's? Obviously the spell is IF, but is there a miscast involv...

Re: Line of Sight

How about this, The Island of Blood mage hovers over a blast of "fire" on his base, thus the model is taller than the average man. How does this affect LoS, for both him and enemy ability to single him out in a unit?

Re: Close Combat: Well, this is awkward...

I have a question(s):

After the rest of the unit of rats is destroyed, does the Warlord flee? And if so, then obviously we should be able to pursue, correct?

Line of Sight

I know that LoS has probably been debated to death but I can't find the answer to my question: I know that to have line of sight, there must be an unobstructed view from the eyes to any part of the opposing model's body (head, torso, arms, or legs - not weapons or banners, etc.). So my question is t...

Army Build Unit Requirements

What are the unit requirements for a high elves army? The most common answer I can find (they’re not sure specifically either) is: Lords max 25% Heroes max 25% Core min 25% Special max 50% Rare max 25% The HE army book simply states: Less than 2000pts: 1+ Core, 0-5 Special, 0-2 Rare 2000+: 2+ Core, ...

Re: First time playing HE, and Warhammer for that instance!

The only way to get a character out of the front rank is to fill the front rank with command models and other characters. Anytime a normal model is in a front rank, a character in a back rank must replace him. See the main rulebook FAQ. Well, there is another temporary one - get your opponent to be...

Re: First time playing HE, and Warhammer for that instance!

Thanks dabber for pointing out the flaws in my (previously thought) awesome plan :) I do have one questions though... is it not possible to put your mage in the back rank of the swordmaster (or any unit for that matter)? If so, then that would protect the mage as well as let all possible attack be a...

Re: Help against Skaven Slaves!

Thanks for the replies. I reread the shooting rules and it totally makes a difference. On the purpose of focusing on the valuable troops and ignoring slaves: what if they have like 3 or 4 units of slaves and another 3 or 4 of clanrats? Its hard to navigate around them; either way I'm going to have t...

Help against Skaven Slaves!

I (HE) played my roommate (Skaven) recently and got wiped out. Now granted we were both severe noobs, so we accidentally skipped over/forgot some rules so I know that, now knowing them, the battle will be different in the future. But the biggest problem for me are slaves. If I go into close combat w...
