Re: Ulthuan Culture - Class

Like Asurion I believe that elves are fairly resilient to mental problems. As a people, you don't survive for long if every 100 years or so you get suicidal tendencies. However, I do feel that at some point a high elf has done everything in his live he wants and that at this point he decides to die....

Re: Tyrion

Hi Long time lurker but first time poster! Just though I'd point out that although the BRB says his is MC, it also eludes to the fact the the Army Books rules take precidence over the BRB (I think is a well known rule in WFB and 40K).

Re: Strategies for army types - naming thread

Perhaps we can take the system I proposed with the msu/mmu/flu designations a step further. How about a system were you have a "family" name describing what sub-category the army belongs and (if so desired) a furter descriptive tag that details what sub-tactics you choose. The msu/mmu/flu ...

another thing to keep in mind is that during his live the influence an elf wields will probably vary along with his fortunes. Everyone likes a winner and while you may keep "winning" for 50 odd years, to keep doing it for a 1000+ years is kind of hard. So, noble houses will wax and wane in...

As others have said, no he is not. His main problems are, in random order: - points cost. For fewer points you can get a lord that performs similarly. For a few more you get a star dragon - survivability: in last edition, this was his strong point, with a 1+ armour save, dragon armour, 4+ ward and 4...

Re: Would you do this?

Simple answer to this tactic. Charge a hero out of the unit being blocked. It's a big nasty unit if it's wide enough for this trick to work, or be worth performing, and so probably has a character in it. Delays you for a bit, sure, but you get a free 50 VPs and eagles could delay you for a turn any...

tailoring magic lore to opponents is illegal. Never heard of this before... That's because it's not. You do have to write your chosen lore on your army list. But there is no rule saying that you can't change your army list from one game to the next. So changing your lore between games is the same a...

Re: What's the best Race/Species in Warhammer.

The way the Warhammer world is built and run results in all races being equal. Reasoning is simply this. If one race was better then the others, then that race would rise to dominate the others. And for all its warfare, the warhammer world is actually a very static thing. For the past few 100 years ...

It probably depends on your armylist, but I would go for no. Most people field archer units in multiples of 5, with 10 being the most common. With only 10 archers in a unit they can all shoot, are small enough not to attract attention from you opponent (and cheap enough if they do). And they are man...
