In the new 50% meta I think both are pretty obsolete. WoC are taking mostly single models, the majority of which fly, and all the elf armies shoot well enough to make the difference marginal at best. Against armies like Skaven it is again mostly pointless as neither unit has the ability to hold a un...

I'm glad you mentioned folding fortress Curu, I'm actually considering High magic dark shards in a folding fortress teamed up with a Star Dragon for my next event. the only restrictions are no single models over 800 points (So no imrik sadly) and no Khaine magic. I like the idea of bringing my own b...

I'm surprised there hasn't been any discussion about Allarielle Incarnate of life, AoE regen is pretty potent, combined with healing a wound to every model in 12", combined again with Star of Averlorn. Is this finally the way to make our Infantry based lists competitve? Healing single models d...

I would have voted Legions of Chaos but it wasn't an option. I don't know about your guys local meta but all the End Times lists are being used in mine. One event so far has comped it a bit, not single models over 800 points, no end times magic, the next is play testing everything in though.

Not true, one event locally has already allowed all the lists but not the magic... You shouldn't make sure sweeping assumptions. Well, OK, I can't account for Local events amending the official rules :roll: :roll: :roll: . Assuming they're following the rules book, then any game that has at least o...

So that's two experiences where magic hasn't had an enormous impact on the game. I'm wondering if it might be likely to get away without a wizard at all and simply take a unit of Warlocks/Sisters to be your wizard unit. You still get some great spells, but you get significantly greater survivabilit...

So you can't run Teclis. OK...And realistically what's the difference between using a Lvl4 Light Archmage with Book of Ashur and Teclis? You still get a horrendous looking Light Council, but you didn't have to Pay 400 points for that Archmage to spam lots of high powered Banishments. You can't do d...

I really don't think tyrion had any less character than any of the other heroes. They're all abit two dimensional. They had flaws at least though. Tyrion is just always presented as the perfect elf. He's dreamy, unrivaled on the battlefield and is the Queen's consort. Perfection = boring. Khaine ma...

@Baleanoon- As I said, both club mates bringing the uber characters are doing it more for the paint points then bringing the best designed list and yes they accept the risk inherit to their build. On the other hand, Magic is really the only way to deal with these uber characters, especially Malekit...

Hinge you basically built lists that are vulnerable to magic. Would you suggest to players in the current system who build ogre death stars and then lose to purple sun that they game is at fault? They knew that this was a possibility and they weighed the rewards against the risks and decided it was ...

I actually found the magic phase to be more random and turning on a single D6. did you roll high enough to use enough PD to cast the spell? Did your opponent roll high enough to have access to enough DD to dispel? Not sure spamming is a dependable tactic. By my reading a spell can not be cast a sec...

L4 High, Wood Elf, Dispel Scroll L4 Shadow, High Elf, Book of Hoeth BSB, High Elf, BOTWD 4x Waystalkers Core: Max. Trueflight Special: Max. Shades Rare: Waywalkers Warhammer´s fun. That army will shoot anything off the tabletop. With BOTWD + High Magic counters defensively, not much can touch it. I...

First I've already done: Kurnous and Isha disobeyed him, and being given to Khaine was the punishment. Second is a matter of relative power - he's weaker than the Chaos Gods and wasn't in a position to do something about it if he wanted to. Of course, that part, like elven souls going to Slaanesh, ...

Sure, Asuryan has dished out some harsh punishments, and generally been selfish - but these have been in response to being explicitly disobeyed. He never told ANYONE that Malekith was his chosen mortal representative, so there's no disobedience there. And then dicking over his worshippers four thou...

On Khaine, Curu is correct, and its always been this way at least as long as I can remember. Khaine has been about murder and violence for their own sake, and the power being free of mind to pursue those ideas without restraint or moral judgement it provides. The Elves have a god of honourable comb...

Iluvatar: I disagree. What you're essentially saying is that the fluff is being driven by the mechanics, but it's certainly possible to have good story even when the story is being driven by the mechanics - and, in fact, a world that is designed to fit certain mechanics can often work better than t...

I'm not sure why you all assume the winds will bind to a wizard or someone capable of spell casting or rune crafting at all...

Death hag with witch brew on the couldron 4A sword masters with double prowess... before spells. The bound spell on the cauldron doesn't stack with witch brew... Either way Phoenix guard are clearly the best unit to accompany a the cauldron of blood, especially if the hag has war cry, take or leave...

The host of the Phoenix King and Eternity King respectively. Seriously though, HotEK might be the best all cav army in the game. I'm starting to really love how no one wants to play Watch tower. Can just deploy 3 15 man lances, and pick the right unit to put your characters in BotWD Dragon Princes W...

Dreadlord - 262 w/ Heavy Armour, Sea Dragon Cloak, Shield, Dark Steed Giant Blade, Dawnstone Archmage - 275 Level 4 (Lore of Shadow) Book of Hoeth Master - 148 w/ Heavy Armour, Sea Dragon Cloak, Shield, Lance, Dark Steed Cloak of Twilight Master - 124 w/ Heavy Armour, Sea Dragon Cloak, Great Weapon,...

Martial Prowess Darkshards seem superior to glade guard in the confines of min core, anyone else agree? Prince auto becomes dreadlord, and Bolt throwers from special is also superior.

Oooooh that's what you meant by the 10%! I'm not sure he knows that... Best email him quick. Looks like rippers, yes. Plus a carpet oldblood, tiq taq to in a biggish unit of terradons (for ambush rock-dropping), egg of quango, skink skirmishers. Probably Tetto as well - I have literally never playe...

T5 is very mediocre, even bolt throwers scare him.

He himself is amazing, the problem is foot characters themselves. If you are ok deathstaring or using formation shenanigans to keep them safe he can work. I've also theorized on using him in a large smaster block, backed by a lot of shooting, but sadly I don't have 30 archers painted yet.

@Baleanoon - The amount of Dwellers depends on your meta. If people wise up to the fact that magic is popular, WoC and OK for example should become popular, which in turn decreases the amount of armies taking Dwellers seeing as it's just not good against them. I think that NM had a largely prematur...

Yeah, team events are never that simple are they? There was some interesting stuff on Asrai from Serbia's WE player on his Glade Rider-based Coven, particularly regarding fighting MSU Daemons. He was top scoring WE. Funnily enough he failed to highlight the combat threat from Horrors. :) http://www...

What size Beasts can your combat units handle Baleanoon? I assume you don't have World Dragon which would simplify things? I have BotWD on the silver helm bus, but getting it bogged down would basically end my ability to collect VPs in that match. I do have banner of eternal flame PG in the list wh...
