Re: The only way to play HE competitively.

I kept losing over and over against good players when I stacked stuff up in the magic phase. I played a star dragon out of desperation and started winning games. Lots of them. The more mobile and task oriented i started making my list the more I started winning. Ill work out a list I think is good i...

Re: The only way to play HE competitively.

Ok so how are we going to win? Speed.... speed and formation..... wins games. End of story. I've been wrecking lizardment armies full of salamanders and temple gaurd.

The only way to play HE competitively.

Ok magic oriented armies are not competitive in 8th edition for HE and this is why. 1) Teclis and BoH are competitive but are banned in most tourneys, they also make for bad games. 2) Magic is the most unreliable phase of the game. This is espicially bad for shadow magic because it's harder to drawl...

Re: Warmachine control verus dwarves, not sure what to do!

Cheese some heavy shadow magic. It can make dwarves mad. Use the Book of Hoeth and he'll get real pissy real fast but go ahead and do it if you want to win. I make my armies based on speed and have almost no infantry other then core and I do a lot better against template armies now. Eagles, knights,...

Re: How can I take down 2 x Hellcannons

Skeinsliver can be good against this. First turn is nice when enemy gots a lot of ranged templates. WoC is hard to get +1 against but if you can get the +2 to going first it can really cut down on hell cannon's damage. Thunderstomp and templates make are supposive impressive infantry seem barely wor...

Re: Star Dragon list 2500

Consider a moon dragon instead of a star dragon. This allows you to get a 2+ AS on the Prince, and saves you points for elsewhere! There's not too much a Star dragon can do that a Moon dragon can't, plus it takes away some of your vulnerability to init tests! u use the riders ini in such cases im p...

I never used large units as a deathstar they could never go toe to toe with a real deathstar. I was using magic items to buff lots of guys at once so large units worked for me.

I played a few more games and I've stopped the horde of white lions. It's a nice unit formation but I decided there was better. The problem i started to have is if I ever got hit by a medium level unit in the flank my white lions would only get 1 attack and could rarely reform to face the enemy. I w...
