Ulthuan

We could actually field quite the airforce now that would be a real pain to deal with; 3 phoenixes from rare, eagles from special, ancient dragon, griffon hero and maybe 2 lvl2s bunkering in some coastal guard. Or does each phoenix count as a duplicate regardless of type? Phoenixes are a single ent...

Hi Swordmaster, Thanks for replying. :) I don't want to derail your blog too much, but it wouldn't be polite to not answer you, so here I go! 1. Rules complexity - The amount and frequency of changes will decrease in time. However, the complexity and amount of special rules to learn will not. At lea...

Hi Swordmaster! Thanks for that report. Though I know very little about KoW (mainly the principles you explained) and it makes it hard to predict the outcome of the game (I have no idea about the result of straight unit match ups...), it's still nice and entertaining to read. How do you feel about t...

Sad to read this, SM, although I do understand you. There's a lot that could be said about the 9th Age, both positive and negative - I know I'll stick to it because no other game attracts me at the moment. And yet, I have the feeling that the project is failing in reaching a number of goals it had (...

In general, I think it's interesting to see that the 9th age is facing many of the dillema's GW ran into. How do you make infantry viable without taking them over the top? How do you balance cannons vs monster? How do you ensure both internal and external balance for armies. I have good hope that t...

After all, the game is made for the 'mediocre' players (there is a lot more of them) and it needs to be balanced for them. Thanks for writing this. It seems to be forgotten too often, and no, balancing the game for to top 20 players in the planet does not necessarily means it's balanced (or fun) fo...

Swordmaster, we all know you don't need S4 on DPs, as well as you don't need any boost for high elves, to show us your superiority in tactical knowledge. But not everyone is playing MSU and S4 on DPs means you have a possibility to build a completely new roster, without Silver Helm Bus to bring you...

I've found 2.5mm magnets only on http://www.supermagnete.de, but then they're 10mmm large... a bit too large for most RnF. :wink: But to me, the real question is: why are 2mm magnets not enough? I use them for all my minis: 1 magnet for infantry, 2 for cavalry (on opposite corners), more for larger ...

I believe this KB rule is fine as is. True, D3 W against monstrous stuff would be more useful, but I believe it would actually be too good for the points - those 24 attacks you talk about, Rod, would kill two demigryphs in a round. With the points costs in the alpha version, demis a 65 points, so yo...

Hi Swordmaster! I don't post much these days (not really in the mood for WH, to be honest :roll: ), but I have to thank you anyway for your reports. I skimmed through the KoW one, not being really interested in the game (though it's good to have a highlight of it!), but this one will take my full at...

The best I could find in a quick research is this: http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Ulthuan. There are a few symbols/runes you could get inspired from on the flags...

DiscoKing has, for his VC army. He's started rebasing his TK as well.

I'm afraid not, my friend... BlizzardAura: Enemy models are chilled within this model’s Blizzard Aura, which extends out from it a number of inches as shown on the damage table above. Your opponent must subtract 1 from any wound rolls for models within range of any Blizzard Auras when they attack. T...

Hi Swordmaster and Loriel! That game is a real treat for me: seeing both the armies I play, and two nice and tactical players with two original armies is just great. And the turn by turn posting gives additional suspense to it! I don't post a lot these times, but that report definitely deserves some...

Those are nice reports, thanks a lot for taking the time to post them! It's also nice to see you back on the site, since I remember you as one of the most active on Ulthuan back when I signed up... :wink: As for the game, I believe part of your opponent's loss is due to his deployment. Well, his arm...

Just passing by to say hi (really don't have much time these days!). Those reavers of yours look great! Love the hues you obtain on the blue/purple, it really makes for a rich cloth they deserve. The chest armor also looks absolutely great!

Good to see you back Jimmy! Been wondering what you were up to.

Stormie played a tournament with the Wayshard, back in 2013. He even made a report of it:

Have a look at it, it's probably the only online experience you'll find about it!

They're nice indeed! The only downside is that there's no command model for them... Mireadur, do you know if there's any plan to add them at some time?

I personally use neodymium disc magnets for all my minis: 2mm thick, 3mm wide. One magnet for all infantry, two magnets for cavalry (in opposite corners), four for plastic monsters. It works well enough for transportation in a metal toolbox. (metal monsters sometimes need more though) For movement t...

It depends. If the red, engaged unit flees to the left, both blue units can pursue. Check the distance between them and the other red unit, and if their pursue is enough, they can charge that one. If the unit is wiped out, the rightmost unit can't overrun due to the other blue unit blocking it, unle...

Got my package from afterglow yesterday. Great guy, easy communication, quick sending - 100% recommended!

Got my package yesterday. Very happy for the lot, thanks a lot afterglow!

You're welcome! :) As for your opponent, it really depends on his general state of mind. It can be an honest mistake, because such loopholes do happen quite often in Warhammer and it's easy to interpret such rules as you would like. One of the items I have difficulties playing for this very reason i...

It shouldn't stack. The definition of Loci in the Daemons book (p26) states that "if a unit is affected by more than one Loci, only the most powerful takes effect, the rules of the others are ignored". [translated from French] Obviously, this is easy to apply for the 3 different types of L...

which particular chariot bits would you like? i have mostly tiranoc bits, as ive assembled mine as lion chariots command sets from the phoenix guard and dragon princes are no problem, are you thinking: DP musician arm, DP standard+banner, DP standard bearer sword arm, DP champion sword arm? and sim...

Wow, that's interesting - and generous from you! There's a few things I'd be interested in: spares from the chariots, and command bits from the phoenix and dragon princes (one of each, except the PG banner top which would be great if doubled). Shadow warriors stuff would be ace as well, but I guess ...

Not so sure about this, guys. There's a specific entry about this in the BRB FAQ - can't check or quote now, but you should find it easily.

There can be only one answer to this side point, Ladril Caledor:
