Re: advice against the new Lizardmen?
I play lizardmen a lot. They win the big combats with spell buffs. Make sure you have a high mage to drain magic his unit and soul quench his skinks. Try to get your phoenix to charge his salamanders if he has any because those can do crazy damage if you don't have dragon princes. Use lots of archer...

Re: I have a question about salamanders
Since an entire unit is supposed to shoot simultaneously: Say there's 3 salamanders: 1. Salamanders pick target 2. Salamander 1 shoots, calculates hits (do they still roll artillery dice for distance?) 3. Salamander 2 shoots, calculates hits 4. Salamander 3 shoots, calculates hits 5. Add up all the...

Re: I have a question about salamanders
Can we have the exact wording please? If it's one at a time, that could significantly decrease the number of potential targets in a small unit... that said, and while I don't find anything specific, the fact that roll to hit is 1 section followed by another section to wound implies you roll all to ...

This is what I ment.daid13 wrote:Ithink what he means is say there were 40 in a unit and all the templates were over the same twenty if the first template kills all 20 under it would the other templates still inflict hits on the unit as the models who would have been hit are all dead.

I have a question about salamanders
Because it is a unit that needs to fire at the same target with 3 flame templates, do all hits wound at the same time potentially wounding the same thing 3 times? so say my unit of 20 gets hit by all 3 templates. Does my opponent roll for 60 wounds or do they wound for each salamander separately? Ap...

Some advice on which build to use on a Prince
Both are Cav Princes
First one has Giant blade, enchanted shield, dawnstone with dragon armour
giving a str 7 1+ reroll armour save and 6++ (hoping the archmage can help that)
Or instead of Giant blade use the obsidian blade and TOTS.
The second prince costs 5 points more
What do you think?

Magic combo
Anyone try this out?
Grab a level 2 with seer and pick enfeebling foe to lower str
then have a level 4 with book and cast dwellers.
on a turn that you roll high for winds of magic (+ bannor of sorc) you can probably kill off majority of any unit including any characters in it

Re: Magic Phase Strategy
Just a quick question about magic defence. If you have 2 mages (lets say an archmage and a level 1) which build would be better? a dispel scroll with sigil or annulian crystal with sigil? either way i think sigil is a must but dont know what the 2nd archane item should be.

Some more questions though. Witch units do you believe should engage the Razordons? As I understand they can stand and shoot. As razordons are just strength 4 shooting, your BSB or your dragon laugh at them. While they do stand-and-shoot at double the number of shots hitting on 4s, that still shoul...

I'd say take as many eagles possible, then take 2 units of 5 silver helms with only sheilds to rush down his warmachines or gunners. An archmage with book should do the job.
