Re: Crossing Swords
Turn Five (continued) The Lord of Change grudgingly decided to conserve his forces. The BSB and Beasts retreated and the Flamers and Herald of Slaanesh ran off to hide. The doomed Plaguebearers were pushed sacrificially on, two more of them succumbing to the flames. The Skillcannon misfired, destro...

A narrow Elven win Congratulations! Stormvermin, with all the characters in it were overwhelmed by the Sea Monster, broke, fled an were overrun.

Turn Five 20230609_195018.jpg The Spears marched towards the Beasts, while the Prince charged out of the PG into the Furies and was joined by the now riderless Griffon. The Phoenix Guard (and Archmage) themselves garrisoned the tower. The Frostheart flew around to threaten the Plaguebearers. More o...

Re: Warhammer Armies Project: a search for experience.
Congratulations! Sounds like the Dragon was the main threat and you nailed it eventually Aerendar.
I believe these haven't been seen since maybe 4th edition?

Re: Crossing Swords
Turn Four (continued) The Daemonettes charged the Sister again. Flamers moved round the side of the Spears and the Furies flew in to block the PG. The wounded BSB left the Plaguebearers (who continued to backpedal) to escape Convocation. Somewhat unkindly, the Lord of Change left the PB's to burn, ...

Re: Crossing Swords
Yeah, it killed a few infantry I believe. More important I feel was that it encouraged the RBT and especially the monsters to remain behind the obstacles/tower.

Re: A new painting blog - New troll unit Complete
I would not say that it makes no sense to put a dragon in an army list. On the other hand, I feel a wyvern is wasted points: The Star Dragon is clearly worth it, others are interesting but a little risky IMHO. The Wyvern has a S6 Thunderstomp, is fairly hard to kill and reasonably cheap, I'd give i...

No specific thoughts to offer, except I envy your opportunity to play. Here I am limited to painting and playing both sides. It must be frustrating, though your brush is doing great work sir!

Re: Crossing Swords
Firstly, the list has no shooting. None. No Skillcannon to keep powerful enemy flyers honest. No Flamers to remove redirectors. In short, this hurts board control. Yes it has flyers of its own but only the Drones project charge threat. It has two units of Horrors which can default to low strength ma...
