Re: Order in which Mages cast?
There are no restrictions. You can even, if you wish, cast one spell from one wizard then from another then back to the first!

Re: What game console to get?
Fair enough, I took you too literally: just because a HDMI transfers digital signals doesn't mean it either works or doesn't, but either working or not working is literally digital.
It makes sense now, continue!

I think that was a joke. Computers are digital, modern televisions are digital, phones are digital: they either work or they don't.Bob of Beleriand wrote:HDMI cables are digital they work or they don't.
True to an extent.

Re: Anathir's Host of Averlorn - Another update (smaster)..
I like the model a lot. Technically it is absolutely solid. I'd want a slightly smoother white personally, but thats a minor detail, especially as you already painted over bronze. I think a unit of these guys would look very good, a solid 3-4 really. And don't dare throw away the bases, they are gre...

Re: How do I make these guys look better
If you aren't already, water your paints down - it's crucial! Secondly, I'd just give them a wash: devlan mud all over or try colour matching if you want. After that you can decide if you want to go over the raised areas with the original colour again to brighten it up. This is how I paint most RaF,...

And surely if they don't care, they wouldn't sanction Britain anyway. It's a weak argument for Argentina it seems.

Ok, in that case they do benefit; as I said, I was just guessing. However, can't the other members of the UN pressure the UK too (with more influence than Argentina has) if they were actually on Argentina's side (are they?)?

I'd make the costs as a percentage of the army, makes more sense to scale correctly. Have you considered creating unit and army layout effects?

Greetings! Asurion presented a very detailed statement and I would like to address some of the points he made.

Re: How to deal with chaos warrior hordes?
4+ ward is unusual unless it was a very cheesy (and stupidly expensive) chosenstar. Normally it should be slightly more manageable. It is still a rock hard unit, so I'd still suggest avoidance as dabber says. You might be able to engage it with enough magic to whittle it down and then several units ...

As far as the fluff I know says, princes and nobles normally lead, with mages leading in unusual cases. That is, however, leading an army.

Re: "Who is gonna win between...." [need help]
Both units are equally matched, as both kill the same number of enemy models; hence they tie or draw. You may want to call this a costly win for the most numerous side, as presumably they will have some models standing at the end. Without any idea about the Total War rules, I would suggest as a &quo...

While the benefit of HC is constant, it has a greater static increase in wounds for larger numbers of hits. For example, 100 hits wounding on 3s will deal 66.66... wounds without and 77.77... with HC. This is a 16.66...% increase - indeed any number of hits with any to wound value will receive this ...

Re: Math-Hammer question
Mathhammer is often surprisingly simple. In this case HC does confuse things a little. The swordmasters have command (sacred incense) and I assume the lions do to. This gives 25 attacks for the swordmasters. 2/3 hit and then 1/3 of the 1/3 misses (equal to 8/9) hit on the reroll. Therefore 22.222......
