Sounds promising.

Does it make it possible for army list that does not have any summoning play on an even footing with one that does?

For me I'm at a crossroads with miniature gaming in general. I've tried 9th Edition and while it has certain benefits, its apparent God like attitude toward the ETC is just off putting. Not to mention the balance issues the HbE book has. This means AoS is is back on the table. Have they addressed th...

Recently I’ve added this unit to my list. So far it seems to have performed really well, far better than I had expected. While in both games the unit was lost, it did seem to perform much better than I think my opponents had anticipated or gave it credit for. It kind of reminds me of the old days wh...

Yes, working now.

Ferny, thanks for the help!

I can't seem to figure out how to add a screen shot here.

The error notes "Your session has expired, please submit the form again."

Occurs after clicking the submit button on the login screen.

Tries the F5 in both Chrome and IE, still getting the same error.

Struggled seems to be an understatement if you look at the results :( Sure seems that way. What's worse is that the best ranking HbE player appears to have the lowest ranking of the "best in race" results. However, on the bright side, the top 16 results were spread across 12 armies. The o...

Has anyone else been having a problem with the login?

I keep getting an error that my session has expired and to re-login.

I've tried IE and Chrome, both give the same result.

How do you feel about CoL now? You're clearly persisting with it despite your reservations - have you found a new angle (2nd level banishment?) or are you simply sticking with it til it proves your faith right or wrong? I will give 9th Edition a fair chance and will read the rule set and try to mak...

I have revised the list based on v1.00 Lord (285 pts, 11.9%): - Archmage, Level 3, Amethyst Crystal, ToGS, Charm of Cursed Iron (General, Light) – 285 pts Heroes (522 pts, 21.7%): - Mage, Level 1, Dispel Scroll, Obsidian Pebble (Light) –115 pts - Mage, Level 1, Tome of Arcane Lore, Obsidian Rock (Li...

...But it shows the ETCness of the game (for better or worse) and the highly competitive mindset of the stronger players... For me this is the biggest concern with 9th Edition, has it become and will it remain too ETC focused. For those of us that primary play or only play High Elf, this will make ...

I've revised the list based on the most recent HbE Army Book. 2400 Point CoL – V0.99.4 Lord (355 pts, 14.8%): - Archmage, Asfard Scholar, 4th Level, Book of Arcane Power, ToSS (General, Light) – 355 pts Heroes (450 pts, 18.8%): - Mage, Level 1, Dispel Scroll, Obsidian Pebble (Light) – 115 pts - Mage...

@chumchu, I came to the same decision to go with the Wardens instead of the Lions. As for the other suggestions, I too came to similar decisions on the Archmage, the Mage, and changes to the Grey Watcher's equipment. However, with the freed-up points I decided to go with another Mage and some other ...

RBT price has been up and down a little over the iterations. I wouldn't ask for those thigns if I were to ask for a buff - I'd ask for 3W ;). Now that would be a good option, 60 points base, +20 for Repeating, which includes one extra crew member! RE: alternatives, sisters can now be 30" QtF a...

What's the role of seaguard in this list? It's not ambushing, looks too small to hold the line, and kinda feels again like it's in a bad spot between archers and spears in this list? I think that they would be more useful due to their ability to move and still get all of their volley shooting attac...

I just wouldn't take KoR without the Dev Charge upgrade, it's just too good for them to miss out on (and under current rules it also affects the horses). The reason it was put in and 2A base was removed was to enable bus-mode by not paying for the 2nd attack, but for small units it's surely worth t...

Based on the feedback, I now have two CoL options: Set-up #1: Flame Warden Based CoL Lord (365 pts, 15.2%): - Archmage, 4th Level Asfad Scholar, Book of Arcane Power, ToSS (General, Light) – 365 pts Heroes (377 pts, 15.7%): - Mage, Level 2, Dispel Scroll, Obsidian Pebble (Light) – 145 pts - Commande...

Have you considered what you would include for another 100 pts since 2500 is the aimed point cost for 9th age games at tournaments. For the Core, add 2 Archers, with the other points likely going to a third unit of Grey Watchers or a second Light Mage (make both 1st level) so that the army will alw...

How does this revised list look: Lord (0 pts, 0.0%): - None Heroes (704 pts, 29.3%): - Commander, Warden, DA, Spear of the Blazing Dawn, Hardened Shield, Lucky Charm (General) – 202 pts - Mage, Level 2, Dispel Scroll (Path of White Magic) – 130 pts - Mage, Level 2, Book of Arcane Power, Obsidian Peb...

Hoping to be able to return to my preferred gaming style in 9th Edition, I decided to see if a Coven of Light list could be crafted. Lord (365 pts, 15.2%): - Archmage, 4th Level Asfad Scholar, Book of Arcane Power, ToSS (General, Light) – 365 pts Heroes (377 pts, 15.7%): - Mage, Level 2, Dispel Scro...

The reason for the two Warden models is that I think HbE combat character models need a 4+ Ward Save to be useful. With the DL still retaining their universal 5+ Ward Save, having Divine Attacks in the list is also important. I think that I will drop the Armour Piercing on the two Great Eagles as yo...

After reading through the HbE 0.99 edition, I decided to put together a list. Lord (0.0%): - None Heroes (33.1%): - Commander with Warden of the Flame (General), HA, Shield, King Slayer, Dragonscale Helm, Shard of Cenyrn - Mage with Asfad Scholar, Level 2, Dispel Scroll (Path of White Magic) - Mage ...

After becoming very disappointed with AoS, I put Warhammer on hold.. So, what is the view on 9th vs 8th? Recent comments about version 0.99 are quite frankly discouraging. I have a large High Elf model collection and not sure I want to bother opening my unpainted boxes. If 9th doesn't look promising...

gromo wrote:Treat summoning as an ongoing spell.. the wizard casts one less spell now. This makes sense because he needs to continue to animate the bodies.

it would be easier to just allow an unbinding attempt from any range when the summoning attempt is made.

I think it's really cute that sort of thing passes as "tactics" now. And 8th was any better? If anything, simplified rules allow for more creative tactics instead of less. In fact, this article prompted me to go back and review the charge rule in AoS. What I found was that I was letting m...

My LGS is running another tourney using the original comp at the end of August. Since my local gaming area is dominated by players with DoC, Vamps, and Lizards, I likely won't participate. However, they are discussing adding in the general ability to call for Stormcast units (GW rule in the book) fo...

After thinking about the comp and info on how the games went, I was thinking the following changes would help this comp work better: Pool List (1) The maximum wounds for a Hero and/or Monster Warscroll should have been no mone than 10 wounds; (2) The total Warscroll cap for Hero Warscrolls should ha...

This was my Warscroll list under this comp (models - wounds): - Eltharion on Stormwing (1 - 10) - Mage on Purebred (1- 5) - Sea Helm with Totem (1 - 5) - Reavers with Champion (10 - 20) - Reavers with Champion (9 - 18) - Dragon Princes with Full Command (9 - 18) - Great Eagles (4 - 16) - Phoenix Gua...

Below was the Army Comp used for a “casual” tourney I attended: Pool List Restrictions - Select 6-10 Warscrolls, all must be from one of the four major Forces: Chaos, Order, Destruction or Death. - Can select Formations, but unit within the Formation counts towards the 10 Warscroll cap. - Up to 3 Wa...

On a LGS forum, the proposed Army Comp is looking to be something along the lines of: Pool List : Contain no more than 80 wounds of which no more than 5 Warscrolls with the Keyword Hero and/or Monster and may not contain any 'Named Hero' Warscrolls. Deployed Army : Must be selected from the Pool Lis...
