Re: Did tournament players kill Warhammer?
Tournament play is the heart of any system and the reason why it succeed's or fails. Probably a quarter of the games I've have played of WHFB are tournament games and they make up many of my favourite games. Pick-up games of balanced armies are how I meet and judge new players. I have a very practic...

Re: List for 1850 comped tourney
Thanks. I agree that more helms in this list would probably be stronger, I'm limited mostly by model numbers here. Loremaster is tons of fun. I love the versatility of the spells. But it is blasphemous to suggest that she ever use any weapon but her greatsword :). It takes centuries of martial mast...

Re: List for 1850 comped tourney
I would, run more silver helms and less archers, but that's just me. Have you thought about a LM rather than lvl 4? Even if you treat him like a mage the spell selection is really helpful. Tricked out he can be a useful combat character as well. ToP, scroll and sword of antiheros works, or SoM and d...

Army of Dust - 2400 Swedish Comp
I've not been playing much of late, but I've stuck together a few more models, which has given me some options. Characters Anointed - Giant Blade = 270 Loremaster - ToP, Dragon Helm & Ogre Blade = 325 Level 1 - Shadow - scroll & Golden Crown = 120 BSB - halberd & AoC = 147 Core 6 SH with...

Re: 2400 Light Council with Undeath support....
Too many characters and too many magic levels I suspect. I'd probably drop the light mage to a loremaster and the lvl 1 for more troops. You can stick the LM in the white lions then for S-7, T-4 lions or 5+ regen.

Re: Preferred Options for BSB?
I have 2
Shield of Meryen, golden crown and reaver bow
Armour of destiny, white lion cloak and halberd
I usually run a lvl 4 Beasts so can get S-3 strength from a spell on the reaver.

Re: How to build a Swed Comp List?
A cheap but nasty combo is lore of beasts with a couple choppy characters and the BSB with reaver bow. For a 10 point spell you can make the reaver bow S-8 any turn of the game. Just ignore the #6 spell in Beasts and use that roll for you signature.
Combined with a LM it can get seriously ugly

Re: New High Elf player needing some advice
If I follow this path, should I also maybe get rid of the second RBT (if it's alone it's kinda useless isn't it?) and replace it with another SH unit, or maybe a lvl 1 lore of high magic mage (to get the 3+ ward save on the pg?) 1 RBT is fine. The 48" threat range is great for keeping single c...

Yup, magnets in the bases and a tool box is what I have used for years.
This is My DzC army, but I can get 2,500 points of elves into a 5 draw toolbox.

Well, the Tower of Dust on the south coast of Araby is business as usual. Sure are a lot of new immigrants though. The elves and eagles are fine, just not sure about the giant moggies, cold ones and hydras. The Kharibdyss are such cuties though, they can come.

No ward saves at all apart from the crown? Boosted searing doom, death snipes and high strength attacks will go straight though the Prince's armour.
