Re: Thinking of starting a second army. Advice?

Dwarfs. They teach a player the technical nuances of the movement phase. how to conga, how to rocketship characters, how to minimize attacks through movement, how to block, how to reform, how to deploy, how to keep leadership bubbles, etc, etc. None of which HE really need since they just push forwa...

Re: Petition for GW

None of what anyone has said above is a mutually exclusive reason for GW not to release a balanced stable game.

Re: End Times: Khaine fluff discussion (may contain spoilers

What does Teclis' spell do (the one that made Ulthuan sink)?

I'm reasonably happy with the ending. This story was never High Elves v. Dark Elves but Elves v. Chaos.

Re: Campaign of the end of times Rumors & Leaks

High Elf fans here are looking at Malekith from the wrong perspective. Their first obligation is not to destroy the DE but to stop chaos. Its been that from the very beginning. If Malekith is the man to do it than so be it. It doesn't mean he's forgiven but if he's the best leader for the elven race...

Re: ETC Draft Zero

Being closer to "by the book Warhammer" also helps it expand to areas where it has previously been unpopular because it feels like heavy comp. Which is what I've been saying for years! Yes, but an important distinction to keep in mind here is that GW is gradually making better books. The ...

Re: Campaign of the end of times Rumors & Leaks

I wouldn't be surprised if there is at the end of ET the lizardmen make some play to go to another planet of sorts, but something goes wrong and fragments of the other races are sucked in too, leading to a new map but the same races. So basically, Chaos has invaded too many times and they're outta ...

Re: Campaign of the end of times Rumors (only rumors)

My chips are on: Teclis figures out only way to survive is to unite the elves. Tyrion disagrees or something else that leads him to draw Widowmaker. After (or before) Nagash is dealt with he comes to blows with Malekith, they're dead even until Teclis shows up and aids Malekith, who kills Tyrion. M...

Re: Campaign of the end of times Rumors (only rumors)

I am really concerned where this game is heading. With so much fluff build up I can't figure out how GW will reset the game to pre end time situations.
I am really on the brink of warmahordes even if I think it is a significantly worse game/models simply because it's stable.

Re: Dual 18PG with 3++ and Shadow (shooty)

try a lvl 2 with fire and ring of fury with the lore master. gives you... 2x fireball, ring, light default, metal default, death default. Lots of raw damage until you get to CC. There is also a chance to roll flaming sword with the lvl2.

Re: The End Times Fluff Discussion [May contain spoilers]

What are the odds GW axe bretons (or any army) realistically? While I like the story in the past books, I don't like knowing what the company is going to do in the future that might directly affect people and their armies.

Re: 50% Hero/Lord FAQ: How to Capitalize

My thoughts, from a dwarf point of view: I really really fear for dwarfs. The new rules really let armies become even more polarized than before. As shown in sandstorm's two lists, HE can have stronger ranged OR stronger/faster CC. Since by definition and virtue of being all infantry and m3, dwarfs ...

Thanks for all the comments. I've ended up choosing dwarfs again after practicing with true metallics. I like that race as much as high elves with the added benefit of liking their miniature range! Classic longbeards are in the post. Stay tuned ;)

why not just a bret peg. They come in packs of single models now. After that is a matter of finding a rider that's suitable.
