ouch, no idea where i dreamt up Ithilmar weapons for archers. Thanks for the corrections. No worries. It happens, there's a lot of rules to get the hang of. I had my first TOW game yesterday, and we spend half the time flipping through 3 different books to find all the rules and how they interacted...

Question: Do regeneration saves stack? Ward saves specifically mention they don't. Regen saves don't actually say anything in that regard. And the general rule is that special rules stack. RAW, no unless something says +1 Regeneration, since there's no explanation for how a 5+ and a 6+ interact wit...

When you randomly generate a spell, you can discard one spell. Normally wizards can only generate spells once, but our mage can generate spells once per turn. So can he each time he generates a spell substitute to the signature and/or Saphery, even if we already have a signature? RAW looks to clear...

With regard to the Dragon Helm, the rule for it says it can be worn with other armour. Do you think that excludes magical armour? Yes. The Can be worn with other armour means that you can take Light Armour or Heavy Armour or Full plate with it, unlike the armour of Caledor for instance, which is fu...

Crystal aside, if you roll for more than 1 spell, and you roll an assailment, can't you swap another spell for hand of khaine, and then have 2 assailments? Yes you can. There's nothing in the rules that says that you can only have 1 of each type of spells. You can swap any spell for Hand of Khaine ...

But you can still cast an assailment in both yours and their combat phases in the same game turn (not individual turn) right? So effectively cast twice per game turn? Yes. Though it's good to know that quickly flipping through the lores, there aren't any lores with 2 assailment spells (and you can'...

Archers don't reroll 1s, since they don't have Ithilmar weapons. 10 archers vs 5 SH with shields (which don't differ all that much in points). With your S&S, you do 0.8-ish wounds. Let's say you get lucky and kill 1. 4 SH attacks, 2 hits, 2 wounds (1.7, but we're rounding up). 4 horses, 2 hits, ...

Ok, but say you roll for another spell, would you be able to cast it in the same turn? In the same phase? Just trying to gauge how people are playing this and what utility it has. The only limitation on casting spells (other than when in the turn you can cast them), is that you can only cast a spel...

Prince [252 pts] - Great weapon - Light armour - Barded Elven Steed - dragonhelm - Dawnstone - Armour of Caledor - Seed of Rebirth - Pure of Heart I think this item selection isn't legal. Armour of Caledor and Dragonhelm are both magical armour, and neither of them is common, so you can only take o...

Some very interesting testing here but this is the one that has me asking the most questions. How did you play this item? Did you cast a spell, "forget it", roll for another spell, then proceed to cast that new spell? If you "forget" a spell, is it likley to be for the entire ga...

Yeah, they're great for campaigns and similar fluffy games. I also think that's what they were intended for. A tool to give people a chance to bring some fun stuff and introduce a bit of narrative to their games. Which is also how they should be used in my opinion. Like I said, I doubt they'll be se...

I like the list. I think it offers a fair bit of flexibility, and I'm curious to see how it performs. I'm also interested in the archmage with Warden of Saphery. Even without any armour on him, I think 10 pts for 2 WS4 Killing Blow attacks is pretty nice. With armour and a few combat oriented spells...

I think we'll see allies as much in TOW as we did in 8th edition (where you had more or less the same rules). As in, not for competitive games, but it's a way to include some fluff models in a friendly game. Especially if you want to spice things up a bit or use a small force you're building out as ...

Now is probably the wrong time to be buying on ebay (or the right time to be selling...). No supply of new miniatures, and lots of demand after the release of TOW. I'm guessing most of the HE plastic range will be re-released. Which means that we'll be able to get the chariots from GW again. Going b...

I think this assumes that your opponent does exactly what you want him to do. Yes, in an ideal situation, you get 20 shots in a stand & shoot, or an extra charge from a bunch of archers. But it's also 25''+ wide, which is 1/3 of your whole deployment zone. Where you have to be careful not to pla...

That first list looks very nasty, but I would lose the sisters for some support units (maybe another eagle + a tiranoc chariot?), such a small army will need plenty of redirectors. As a rule of thumb I think you need a minimum of 3 redirectors in high elf lists of 2k+. I'm new to WHFB- Got into it ...

It looks like a fun list. One thing I'm wondering is why you're running both the SH and the Tiranoc chariots as separate, smaller units. If you combine them into larger units, they pack a bigger punch (at the expense of flexibility of course).

The title of this thread is the reason I've come to believe the White Lion Chariot is all washed up now -Its impact hits are 0.5 less average hits but have a more reliable spread, which I like, and they're still AP -2, unlike the Tiranoc Chariot's. -It's 35 pts cheaper than the WLC so you're justif...

+1 for the Blue Stuff molds. I've used something similar in the past, and it's great if you need a quick copy of a bit. It's not perfect, and you need to look at what you use to create the actual bit. If you're going with greenstuff, then it can become very expensive very fast. Milliput is cheaper a...

I was initially not going to rebase and just use movement trays that give the appropriate footprint, but I'm now a convert to the New World Order. You get SO much more space on the bases but they still look like a cohesive unit. The bigger models towards the end of Fantasy really benefit from it li...

One interesting option for WL can be as a challenge machine. With every model being able to issue and accept challenges, you can tie up a combat lord for a long, long time...

With the manoeuvrability of the charging unit going back to pre-8th situation, I have a feeling it will be comparable to it. Also until rules for charging skirmishers are cleared up I would say skirmishers have a far higher redirecting potential than Eagles or ranked Reavers. Whar's the issue with ...

Oh, and I may have ordered the Bretonnian box.... Woops! :lol: It happens... Somehow miniatures always keep accumulating. Maybe miniatures have some kind of vacuum energy, in that if you are at the risk of running out of miniatures to assemble, more of them appear to fill the void. Looking forward ...

HE turn 2 Massive turn for me here. I'm not sure if the storm banner went up. It think it did, which made my monsters stay in place more or less. Eltarion declares a charge on the 5 poisoned wind gobladiers, who flee in terror. He redirects into the slaves, who are out of general range and fail the...

I realy need to finish this report... It's been too long and I forgot some of it. I'll try to be as complete as possible. For anyone just tuning in, this was an 8th edition battle, fought somewhere last summer... Dragon and frostheart move to the center in front of the hill. Did you consider a more ...

The Skycutter also has Swiftstride. So it's only the WLC.

I think with M8 a WLC is still plenty fast. But it's harder to keep up with cavalry and the other chariots. Which is something to factor into creating your list.

The Marching column is vulnerable to Impetuous, regardless of Drilled and if you can use it on the charge or not. BBB mentions that if you're in Marching Column, then you can still declare a charge, you just can't complete it. So if you're Impetuous, and you're in range, then you roll to see if you ...

I would give the archmage a ceremonial halbert. It's free after all. Might as well.

I'm also not sure the third unit of reavers is needed. With how mobile this list is, I'm not sure you need 3 units of redirectors. I think the points could be better spent elsewhere.
