I found that to be a problem as well, esp if the bearer is on foot.

Many thanks!

The link that many were using to find the most recent version of Swedish comp (v1.15.2) seems to be broken now. Does anyone know what the latest version is, and is it linked up anywhere? I haven't been able to find it. Much appreciated!

Agreed on dropping Caradryan for more PG and an eagle, that block needs to be bigger overall IMO. Also agree on Seahelm; with that being the only combat block you'll likely need that reform throughout your games.

Alith Anar is a lot of fun to use!

I believe there are two planned expansions so my guess is we'll see one or more Elves in an expansion pack.

I use an airbrush for majority of my basecoats on larger areas (cloaks, horses, armor, etc). I also use Vallejo Air Metallics and I've found that occasionally they separate so badly that no amount of shaking seems to fix the paint. I've had this happen specifically with the gold and copper paints, m...

I love the scale mail armor painted blue like that. Excellent use of color and it still has a very metallic look. Job well done.

Hi Irishranger, I have a question, is it ETC ruling that Loremaster can use Lore of Undeath signature spell or is it considered regular way of laying now? Cheers! ETC ruling, can't say for other systems though I suspect swedish will follow eventually as I know both systems try to look at the other ...

I came in 44th with the following: Anointed on Frostheart, Giant Blade, Ench Shield, Dawnstone, Pot of Fools Lvl 4 high, scroll, ring of fury, MR3, steed Noble BSB, Charmed shield, golden crown, Dragon armor, lance, steed, barding Noble, Ogre blade, Ironcurse Icon, Dragon armor, shield, steed, bardi...

Hey man, nice to hear from you. I was on the table next to you during game 3, the HE list with double frosties playing against Warriors. Looked like you had a good game going there with Chris.

You did pretty well with that list. What if anything would you change?

@pk-ng: Already at 2400 pts; I'd have to cut points elsewhere to get Dragon Armor, Charmed Shield and Golden Crown on any of the nobles. Could drop an eagle to do so. Agreed on 5-wide majority of the time. I can only think of one or two instances where I'd want to start wider than that to maximize a...

Okay great, I'll look forward to read them! Hi, sorry for my newbie question, but when you play you're cav bus, you play it in rank of 6 right ? or did I miss something ? As I understand you're list, you play you're 3 Noble + FC in the first rank and the archmage in the 2nd Rank right ? I don't thi...

I think it is a very nice list. You need to be very careful not to throw a lot of dice in the magic phase, because a miscast in the silver helms, would be a complete disaster. About the annointed, as people have mentioned, the regular build is usually giant blade, ench shield and downstone. You don...

--Breezly

I like that loadout, I may give it a try next time. I read this after I submitted my list

Yeah why no BotWD? You can fit it in the list under the comp AFAIK right? Nope, can't fit it. It's three friggin choices, which means to get it I have to drop BTs and bring the characters down to 1200 pts or less, making the bus very ineffective at killing after the charge, and forcing me to use bl...

This was for draft 2.5.1, so it was still legal (not sure for draft 3). Pretty sure this is legal: 1 choice for > 1200 pts of lords/heroes 2 choices, one each for frosthearts 1 choice for > 3 mounted characters 1 choice for Bolt Throwers You listed: 2.ed flying large target of str 6 or above = 2 cho...

Looking at running this list in an upcoming tournament. Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks! Anointed on Frostheart Giant Blade, Ench Shield, Dragonbane Gem, Other Tricksters Shard Lvl 4 High Magic Dispel scroll, Ring of Fury, elven steed Noble Star Lance, great weapon, heavy armor, shield...

I like the WL chariots at 3 points apiece. They can hit hard and really turn a flank in your favor if you can roll decent for impact hits

This is a good thread :) Commenting a bit on the heavy comp for BotWD: I feel like it's where it should be, and I feel like it's still required in some lists for one major reason, and that's points preservation. Without it, it's just too hard to keep the elite infantry up over the course of a full s...

Looks pretty solid to me. I've had little success with Death but haven't really given it a fair shake. I'd be a little wary of having your lvl 4 in the front rank, even with BotWD; if you get into combat with something mundane he won't be around long if your lvl 2 didn't get any successful casts off...

Is the BotWD BSB mounted? If so how is he in with the sisters? Or did I read that wrong?

For your recent list I have some observations/questions. - Are you really going without a scroll first of all? - As for the sisters I don't think you should be too afraid of their safety. Your opponent will probably not be wasting shots on them while 2 phoenixes are flying around. - I think the cro...

Agree on the halberd, but no points for anything 1-handed that will do dmg. I could drop it entirely since his entire purpose is to survive, not deal damage. Also agree on the sisters, but unfortunately there's no comp space to add BTs. I can at least move them 5" a turn and shoot to keep them ...

So I did some playtesting and some tweaking, and after it all I think I've come up with the list I want to use that will help me get around some of the ETC restrictions. The last version just wasn't mixed arms enough for me; it lacked enough shooting, and the helm bus lacked enough combat punch, mos...

Prince has shield and great weapon right off the bat. This is OK, I think, you just can't use both at the same time. In the first round he uses the Star Lance and shield combo, then in subsequent combat rounds he uses the Great Weapon but not the shield. He can still cause damage at S6, although he...

Oh and in response to the eagle noble, while I think that's a great idea, because of ETC comp restrictions with characters and total # of points spent on heroes and lords combined, to add in an eagle noble I'd be over on my 5 choices. I'd have to basically cut the non-BSB noble out of the bus and fi...

I playtested this last night against an empire Inner circle bus with a runefanged GM. List looked something like this: - Grand Master, Runefang - BSB, TOTS, dawnstone - lvl 4 heavens - lvl 2 light - ~16 IC knights - Stank - Hurricanum - Capticus - Unit of 4 Demis - 6 IC knights - 3 units pistoliers ...

Here's the comp restrictions for AR Draft 2 for ETC: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dzmopzrbpqte933/AR2015-Draft2.pdf?dl=0 This is definitely derived from the list you ran at Winter Wars (and elsewhere). I like the style of it and after we chatted a bit I'm just interested in playing something faster to ...

So I'm deciding to go with a super fast list for an upcoming 2400 ETC comp tourney, and I have the bulk of the list decided upon. However, I ended up with about 215 pts leftover and I'm struggling to figure out the best choice(s) to fill out those points and have the best benefit for the rest of the...

Agreed, if I'm in that position it's already a loss most likely.
