Furion Inspired - Assuming I did this right, this comes in at 1.2 or .8 depending on how you read some of the penalties +++ No Name (2500pts) +++ +++ 2500pt High Elves 8th Ed Roster (Standard)) +++ Selections: High Elves 8th Ed (Standard) Selections: + Lords + * Archmage Elven Steed (Lord), Level 4 ...

I am totally ok with Band 1 - would be happy to be there. I like the idea of going against the nastiest of the nasty. My frustration lies in that with the HE I feel like I'm being pushed to run MSU or Bigger Blocks of Infantry. My previous list is a laser guided scalpel. You pick a section of the en...

I'm struggling with building a sold list to fit within Swedish Comp. I"m playing in a major tournament (120 ish players) this summer that just adopted Swedish Comp. The tournament is not using the Victory Point Award Mechanism within the comp, but creating 3 bands of lists based upon how they s...

So the list I had planned on taking to a tournament later this year might be vetoed. The TO's just adopted Swedish Comp for Banding. In years past Judges simply placed the lists in bands based upon how they felt. There were very few limitations comp wise other than no named characters. So with that ...

Thanks Jimmy. I did get the Dwarf test game in. Working on a report now. It will take a few days to get done. That list is just a tougher version of what I ran at tournaments last year. I haven't seen anyone else around here running anything like it. The big changes are I swapped a 2nd frost bird in...

Hello everyone! I've had some major career changing stuff going on for the last few months. Things are settling down though so I'm going to get back in the saddle this spring. This Saturday I have a game scheduled against the new Dwarf Book. I hope to get enough pictures and notes to make a report. ...

Those are interesting match ups. I have a few random thoughts 1. The first against chaos w/ the crazy forest - Unfortunately - I think the list you were up against was just beefier than yours at 1500 points. Deployment didn't help, but two flying monsters that regen at 1500 points is tough to deal w...

Damn. That was pretty awesome!

Ha!

Thanks

I drybrushed the first one white after it was painted to frost it up.

I haven't done that with the second one as it would tone down the vibrancy of the colors. I'm not quire settled on that though.

I finished my second frost bird.

I think I like him more than the first.

What do you guys think?

Damn! It all looked so good until that damn daemon prince reared his head.

Did you fail to charge his crushers with your necro knights or just decide not to?

I need to do some heavy white dry brushing, but he's turning out ok!

Game 91

That was a crushing victory! The panic on the Ironguts was huge!

Game 92

That was a weird WoC list. I thought you would crush it into the dirt when I saw the deployment. Those damn hellstriders can move! I was surprised at how they took down your Necro Knights.

Also - Food for Thought

Characters that use this spell do not lose their special rules

I.E. - My Dragon has the Blessing

A High Elf Mountain Chimera would have ASF and re-roll all of those attacks

I try to turn my damsel into a great fire dragon at every opportunity! Isn't a damsel mounted? Spell is model on foot only... Rod Nope! Damsels and Prophetesses can be used on foot. I typically stick a level 2 in my Men at Arms with the Prayer Icon. After that, if I have the spell and power dice, I...

I like list 2 as well. I also like the changes you made to the Loremaster. My only other suggestion is to try some voodoo on the dice you use to cast with!

I am a huge fan of you are using the Necropolis Knights. I think had those warriors not have run off the board and opened up the right side of your battle line you guys might have been just fine.

Was there no way to get the Necropolis Knights away from those Big Uns?

Thanks! I really appreciate the compliments.

I have a sequel to that Battle Report against the same player. Unfortunately, he whooped me this time!

I try to turn my damsel into a great fire dragon at every opportunity!

You were very fortunate the entombed units came on the board when the did. I didn't know the Necropolis Knights had that ability. That definitely makes them more interesting. I'm a big fan of how you kept moving the casket around the hill until that character got tired of fooling with it and moved o...

I just got my butt kicked by daemons of nurgle - report incoming

Take all this with a grain of salt - you are a far better general than I, but I like the additional bolt thrower, because: 1. It gives you another chance to shoot that 1+ Daemon Prince, the Darn Steam Tank, etc. with the shot that ignores armour or another round of 6 Str 4 shots. 2. If swapping the ...

The other benefit of cutting them down is that it helps to hide my crappy paint jobs!

Sure! What you need are: 1. IoB Griffon 2. Icy Wing Bits and Tail Feathers 3. Ice Phoenix Head and Mane piece that sits up on the neck 4. Green Stuff The procedure basically goes like this 1. Remove the Rider, Eagle Legs, Lion Tail, and Lion Legs from the Island of Blood Griffon 2. Use Green stuff t...

Yeah we play - hills block los to all but large targets - buildings block los to large targets.

That is a good point. I need to think a bit more about it.

I say boooo to the slann!

Bring on the Dinosaur Knights!

Aside from that, it is probably very balanced and solid.

How many points would the following changes net? 1. Archers to just musician 2. Seaguard to Archers w/ musician 3. Sword Masters to just two units of 6 Would that get you another bolt thrower? I don't know if that is worth the radical changes to your list, but your shooting has been extremely effect...

Here is take 2!

I'm going to spray paint the bases and paint them up, etc.
