I think the most important question at this point is: DID THEY SAVE THE BOTWD TOO?

I agree with you, but there is one flaw in your reasoning. Technically, the only Phoenix King that had ever been was Aenarion. When the Princes elected Bel Shanaar, they just made that up and decided to elect him. Before Aenarion, there had never been a Phoenix King, and he was not elected, he just...

It's funny how Assuryan couldn't care less about Malekith being a despicably evil, treacherous and dishonorable creature and would have gladly accepted him only if he gave himself to his flames and endured some pain to the end. HELLO? Didn't this guy just defile your Shrine by sneaking weapons into ...

Sheffield Slaughter comp limits the PD generation to a max of 2 dice but I think the Forbidden Rod is still worth it for such a list which has to rely on good magic phases to win. We used to be pretty satisfied if the Banner of Sorcery gave 2 extra PD in that crucial magic phase! Even at 2PD it gets...

I've been looking at the distribution of the units between the Host of the Phoenix King and the Aestyrion lists and while some of the divisions are quite obvious and easy to figure out there are some really weird ones out there and judging by the overall quality of the fluff in this book I'm sure a ...

Although "Intrigue At Court" may be capable of spoiling the process at times, electing your King rather than always having somebody's son automagically becoming King leaves room for a lot more MERITOCRACY which is just awesomesauce than suffering someones brat as your ruler with no alterna...

I've already written my opinions in other threads on why this fluff doesn't make much sense and that hack of a writer (Gav Thorpe? Did he write this mess? Sure sounds like his handiwork and he is definitely a hack as a writer according to a lot of WH fans) simply didn't bother to maintain any consis...

mcmulligan, I've already paid close attention to that and wrote that only "ET magic phases" will be getting 4d6 Winds which should've been enough to give away that I realize these ridiculous and OTT rules are limited to ET games only. My local club only plays ETC-hammer for some time now s...

:captain obvious mode/on: Considering the fact that ET magic phases will be fueled by 4d6 Winds of Magic and that these ET spells can't be dispelled, the DEADLOCK spell of High Magic is p. damn amazing. 15+ to cast for an Archmage with BoH, start with casting that on the most powerful Wiz with the h...

Hey thanks for posting those pics, Curu! :brofist: The Host of the Eternity King is the single most powerful army in the history of WHFB. Damn. Only the 7th ed. DoC comes close to THAT. The power of this list is utterly insane when you realize it... Having both of the MP rules benefit HE units a lot...

First of all, Asuryan as a "deity" isn't actually the "Creator" of the species known as Elves because we know from official fluff that they were bio-engineered by the Old Ones probably by modifying an existing ape-like hominid species already existing on the planet. The nature of...

For all these years I thought Malekith had been punished by the flames and ultimately were rejected due to being a treacherous, serpentine bastard by sneakily bringing weapons into a sacred Elysium kind of place where weapons and bloodshed is forbidden and committed murder on unarmed elves out of fr...

The fact the result is very good is without doubt. But do you really think the list is that unconventional? After all it had many of the usual suspects, cavalry bus, banner, Frosty, 4 repeaters. The new thing is annointed on flamespyre but it seems to fit in into points preservation well that I am ...

I've got the top HE result at the ETC - huzzah! Congratulations, Furion! :D The fact that you've managed to earn this result with an unconventional army list makes the whole accomplishment even more impressive! Are you going to be posting the battle reports soon? I'd really enjoy watching them on y...

He didn't cast that Purple Fun with IF so you probably failed to dispel it or just didn't want to even try dispelling in order to stop the other stuff thinking that it won't be able to reach your dragon on the other side of the board. Having only a +2 to dispel plus a scroll as your magic defense is...

What war machines would target the bus over the monsters/support? Sure, the cannon type WM's will almost always be targeting the monsters. Helblaster Volley Guns and Organ Guns OTOH are ineffective against the T7 Star Dragon but they can make mincemeat out of those Silver Helms with their S5 AP so ...

I think this could be a better Heroes configuration for your Dragon list: Noble BSB on Barded Steed, Banner of the World Dragon, Dragon armour, Shield, Lance = 178 Noble on Barded Steed, Potion of Strength, Luckstone, Enchanted Shield, Dragon Armour, Lance = 131 Mage L2 on Steed, Scroll, Ironcurse I...

I agree with Dragon fire, you need those PG big and wide. 3x8 means the Mages are better protected due to a wider frontage potentially preventing or minimizing b2b contact and the enemy eating 23 S4 AP instead of 14 S4 AP attacks if deployed 5-wide sure helps a lot with the combat result. Consistent...

Hi there Axiem, I really liked that YouTube batrep you've posted vs. the new Dwarfs and I also like the way you approach competitive WHFB gaming. Any chance of seeing more YT batreps like that? It's really hard to find batreps from competitive players speaking with a fine voice & accent playing ...

Hi SA, I love Wood Elves and I like your style (unorthodox rosters that can manage to be competitive enough) so I'm waiting for those batreps with bated breath! My WE experience mostly involved shooty/defensive lists using nothing but GG, Scouts, WR and WW so your army list looks really refreshing t...

Loremaster as well as BSB seems paper thin though, what are your thoughts about keeping them alive? Magic and movement is your friend here, the list being a defensive one with lots of shooting & chaff which lets you wait for the enemy to come at you and gives you the tools to stall him with cha...

Here's an ETC 2014 Draft 3.5 compatible High Elves "Light Council" roster with lots of dakka & chaff I've sketched out for you in a minute or two in Battlescribe. Tactics: The enemy has to decide between eating S6 Banishment or something nasty the Loremaster can throw out from his repe...

Nice conversions, Curu! Like Spellarcher, I liked the mounted Archmage with the "throne-saddle" the most - Lvl 4 Wizards are supposed to be a bit "otherworldly" and eccentric! Remember the fluff from the 6th ed book describing a HE Archmage (somethingsomething the Green) speciali...

I've found a way to make Swordmasters work by taking a High Archmage Lvl4 with BoH + 5++ Ward + ICI and a BSB with the Razor Standard, Dragon Armour and a Great Weapon to make up for their weaknesses. It's a good option if you're going for a single elite infantry block and not using the Razor Standa...

Hi Curu, I think your "mega-lance" approach to HE CavBus definitely has merit. ETC really limits the amount of powerful builds HE can take due to those unnecessary harsh restrictions so the big Helmbus serves as a panacea to get around that fact. Also, the dreaded 6-dice Dwellers Below whi...

I am looking at a photograph of a page from the Spanish version of the book showing the Core units section and the Glade Riders do not have the Ambushers rule. Unless it's a major typo from the Spanish language version of the book they simply don't have the rule, where did that information come from...

Arcane Bodkins are 5pts and -3 to armour save. Mixed some stuff from previous armybook apparently. Sorry for the inconvenience! Turns out I was correct, the regular magic arrow upgrade a lot of units can take only gives a -3 to armour saves which is still damn good for Core units. The badass mofos ...

Yeah, the guy who compiled this must have mixed up frenzy and hatred. The Dryads definitely have hatred acc to both sources. Asrai spears will be retaining the basic spear rules, yeah. Both Furion and Alojolo stated that the Wild/Glade/Warhawk Riders will be getting "AP spears" in addition...

Guys, there's a very good rumours compilation here: http://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerFantasy/comments/247s27/wood_elves_rules_rumours_compilation/ I'll add some of the stuff the dude who compiled these have missed and post em' here: Special Rules: Kurnous' Arrow: [Lords and Heroes] If enemy general ...
