I agree on shadow warriors, they are a useful unit for the points. I don't expect them to do any damage, but if you play them correctly with evasive & fire and flee your oppent may over allocate resources to clearing them instead of just ignoring them.

Good write up, thank you.

Great spot on shield of saphery amd fury of khaine, I hadn't noticed that it they are a "this turn only" spells.

One topic I haven't seen discussed is: You can "Courage of Aenarion" your Prince on Star Dragon, (or any other unit for that matter) then run away out of Dispel Range. The opponent cannot wizardly dispel. Because he has to be in Range of the wizard who cast - not the actual taget.... Fate...

Great catch, thanks @Pash

Edited

All, Having read the counter charge rule and blood of caledor honour, if our characters join dragon prince's, do the dragon prince's lose counter charge?? Our characters do not gain the counter charge rule via the honour. The counter charge rules states all models in the unit must have the counter c...

I agree with your sentiments.
I played 2 games at the weekend.
These games were mostly dominated by Lords, a couple of more moving pieces would have added some more layers to the game.

Although at 2k points the games go quickly which is a plus.

Hi S,

I just noticed you are list building for 2500 points, do you think this will be played over 2,000?

Ah yes, thank you, my mistake.

Hi S, Great list, excited to see how you handle impetuous in game. Just a couple of things to note, your bus only has +4 static res I believe as heavy cavalry only get a maximum rank bonus of +1. You have, a bsb, warbanner, rank and standard for 4+ static res. Also, just to note, flaming does not au...

Woth regard to wizards wearing armour, I think
The above makes thematic sense also for a proper wizard, no mundane armour, but can wear magical armour.

Thanks S, The ogre blade is just so expensive, you have to lose the regen to take it. I am anticipating alot of tough single characters and monster characters. Therefore, as you used to maxim, the Prince needs to be able to tackle the toughest enemies! Note: I believe thunderstomp works against amca...

Spires, this May not the right place for it, but, any watch outs from your game

Ah thank you, I understand now.

This means I will have to shuffle a few items around, but the good news is now the wizard can take the Armour of Caledor!

Hi Rod, With regard to the Dragon Helm, the rule for it says it can be worn with other armour. Do you think that excludes magical armour? Yes, the wizard has the sword of hoeth. It didn't come out in the list formatting. The idea behind the small Silver Helms is to run down light/chaff units before ...

I hope to get a game or two in this weekend, so I can test a few load outs.

Hi lelthan, Armour bane is specifically noted in the rule book as cumulative/stacking, so it makes the characters very choppy. I picked the lore familiar over the wand or crystal as I want walk between worlds, fury of khaine and shield of saphery every game, this guarantees that. Archmage goes with ...

Like many of us on this forum I have been inspired by the Cav prince playstyle. Here is where I am at the minute, 50 or so points to spare. I think the razor standard on the cav bus makes the characters really choppy. === Cav v2 [1958 pts] Warhammer: The Old World, High Elf Realms, High Elf Realms =...

Good spot on the closed order bonus.

When are you guys going to a get a game of TOW

Totally, I didn't mean to sound negative!
The above are just my thoughts on the the spears & archer detachments.

Thematically it is cool, I am not sure of the in game value.

The bigger problem I think is that: 1- if its a light unit/low toughness charging the spears, the spears can handle it. 2- if its a heavy unit/high toughness unit, the spears are probably not going to win anyway (shieldwall is your friend)and the stand and shoot won't do much? 20 archers is 200 poin...

First charge negates a units rank bonus for combat res.

My rule book cane today, with regard to the bolt Thrower multishot discussion. War machines are referred to as weapons in multiple places, under different war machine headings. I think its clear from my reading, they take the multishot penalty.

Thats quite Funny!

no they are not....on round 5 they arrive automatically.

Thanks, You are correct, I don't know what I was thinking off!

Can someone detail what the ambush rule is? Earlier in this thread it was mentioned as an upgrade to Shadow Warriors. I ask because I went digging my elves out of my crawlspace today and found two brand new boxes of shadow warriors/sisters. When I bought them I had planned to make shadow warriors b...

The handmaiden does not have the skirmishers special rule, I wonder does the unit of sisters lose skirmish then?

Also, I think bolt throwers suffer the multiple shots penalty now. I have seen nothing in the war machines rules to say otherwise

I am back for this, can't wait!
