Ulthuan

Hi everyone - I'm hoping to try out AoS over the next few days, anyone tried Althran Stormrider's Host? I have it all painted up so seems sensible to try that. Not got the starter set yet so thought I'd give my old Elves a go. It's either that or the Skaven! PS Apologies if this is a stupid question...

Hi there! The eBay listing is updated with old OOP Metal Spacemarines, HE Battalion Boxes (with extra goodies to boot), Skaven boxes etc. Lots of good stuff, going cheap (in my opinion) as I need rid of it! I will look into the 9th Age Rules at some point, I am well into my X-Wing at the moment - at...

Hi folks, Hope oyu're all well, it's been a long time since I logged on Ulthuan.net! The destruction of the Old World sort of ruined it for me, but maybe I'll get into AoS one day :) Anyway, I've decided to sell all my old (mostly) unpainted plastic...it's just gathering dust. I've never used eBay t...

Thanks

I've got a mounted Noble/Prince Assemblrd but I want to get the eight SH's painted up first so I at least have the unit done!

I've discovered the problem with the plastic horses :/ half of the horses look like their heads have been hacked off and sewn back on :/ cue endless green stuff!

Hi there, No - we're both just getting back into it and want to stick to 8th Ed as it was for just now. Don't think we'll even bother with 50% lords yet. That seems a bit silly at low points anyway haha! My main query is: should I bother with a BSB at this point? I've failed enough LD rolls in my ti...

Good grief - last update here in July... UNACCEPTABLE!! OK, I'm back and raring to go with HE. I have lots of hobby related news! I must admit I drifted off to a galaxy far, far away for a time and flew X-Wings and TIE Fighters around at my local club. That game is fun and very addictive so it was a...

Hi folks,

I'm just catching up on all this - is there a one stop shop (thread) for a summary o all major ET action so far?
I missed out on Nagash and Glotkin

Hello again all, Long time no see - I scuttled away to the Underempire for a while to raise a Skaven host but funnily enough something's drawn me back to Ulthuan.net - not sure what :P Just received my copy of Khaine and I know I have to read the book, but I genuinely feel a bit depressed! Stupid I ...

Hi folks, Just wanted to provide a small update for you as it's been so long since I posted! I'm afraid the Horned Rat got a hold of me... finished off IoB Skaven as well as the Elves with the addition of the Doomwheel and the Noble Banner Bearer obviously. Anyway it was great fun, just need to deci...

That whole Time to Play series has a few useful articles. I hope it helps

There's a fairly recent thread discussing just this. Can't put my finger on it just now though.

Bell of Lost Souls are doing an article on turn sequence - check it out. Just google BoLS and click on the WFB section.

*chuckle* Ah now that's taking things to a new limit!
I wonder if he'll be inCARcerated for long?

Aye all units have a hand weapon (sharp knives/pointy sticks/chunks of bones etc). If so equipped, and if they are allowed a shield, they'll be eligible for a Parry Save in certain situations. Where equipped with a special weapon (see anything in the Weapon Section of the BRB) they won't get a parry...

Cheers Pash, aye started making some connections with A few guys already so just need to get my Skaven built up and painted to 2000-2400 or so then it'll make it easier:)

Cheers for your input.

PS coincidentally I see Bad Dice did a Gaming Club podcast just the other day!

Hello folks - just a minor update. Lately I've been distracted by the IoB Skaven (For anyone interested, my Skaven painting blog is set up on the Under Empire - if you feel adventurous, enter the tunnel... All Tunnels Lead to Skavenblight ), so I've taken the time to assemble some HE's from the Batt...

As a new player myself I spend most of my time flicking between the rules sections confirming what each rule means, only to find out that it is a bog standard rule, for example: Swiftsense (Eagles) = ASF Shredding Talons (Eagles) = Armour Piercing etc. Having a reference sheet of rules and their mea...

Good grief - excellent paint jobs all round. The DE basing is fantastic. What's the movement tray with what looks like a ploughed field of grass? Just scenery? I use Swordmasters too so I'm keen to find out how yours did :) Usually the low Toughness coupled with Heavy Armour only don't last me too l...

Aye in hind sight Hand of Glory was probably completely unnecessary
Still it was lovely to see my SM unit mince through the BO before they got a chance to hit back.

I need to slap my regular opponent around the head then. He's always maintained they go straight for the enemy regardless of any unit in the way.

Hi folks :) Just a brief note to let you know that I really enjoyed playing with the list above. The seven wide unit of 14 Swordmasters with the Noble BSB sitting in there were fantastic. I cast Hand of Glory (boosted +2) on them which was fantastic. They cut down a unit of Black Orcs without taking...

I thought they have to go that way regardless?

i.e. if my units come within 8" the fanatics have to head straight at them regardless of any O&G in the way?

...Told you it would be a great drawing ;) Right: here's the scenario. My GE was on the flank of an Orc Spearman and Night Goblin unit as shown below. The Eagle was pretty unsupported so I decided to throw him into combat. Now, completing the charge (just) brought me into the 8" Fanatic Release...

Thanks that clears that up! I have another fanatics related query but it needs another amazing drawing in paint to explain so will post later

Riddle me this: in my latest battle my opponent decided on a Flee reaction when my Great Eagle chose to charge at them.
Question - if I come within 8" of that fleeing Goblin unit, do the Fanatics still pop out?

Yeeeeeees - more Skaven!
I'm starting off Skaven too - you have my sympathies haha. The sheer number vs HE is daunting! What is it, 1 model for every 10 points or so on average? 15 down 145 to go for me

Legendary! This is fantastic work your Army Book is such a great idea. :D Your painting is lovely, the basing is superb. I'd really appreciate some basing tutorials when you get some time. Your use of water effects is fantastic. In addition, you seem to be able to take great photos, again, I'd appre...

Changed out Swiftsense for Shredding Talons. My Eagle should be going first in most combats anyway so I reckon I'm better off with the ST rather than SS. 1192... nothing worth throwing on the Mage or anything for the points difference. Think I'll leave it at that just now and see how it fares. We've...

Cheeky bugger!
Skaven have distracted me

Rod, As you can see from my pic above that they have blatantly stamped their name all over (lol) the terrain comfortably takes plastic minis on top no bother. It's not 'paper', I use cardstock which is considerably stronger. The various levels will also take a 10x2 unit no bother. You can't fit much...

Ok dropped Shredding Talons, shoved Dispel Scroll on a now L4 AM. Same points - 1197.
Any suggestion for Lore?

I was going to stick with High just to learn it a bit more. Too many choices!
