Hi all!

Someone came over the EEFL forums and is asking for help with his HE list. Figured you guys would know best!

http://eefl.freeforums.net/thread/1394/ ... llTo=27505

Agreed - will be bringing a scroll moving forward. no more Master rune of Balance. hehe. Re: deployment and army list - the list has worked in the past nicely. Though I agree some gyros are needed and one will be fully painted by the time the next game rolls around. Who knows how the battle would ha...

Reads like a fun game. In terms of deployment, I think going for a corner might have made a difference, since it reduces the maneuverability and charge options he has. But it likely wouldn't have mattered in this game. What I think was really missing from the list is some redirectors. The list didn...

Thanks for that LW, nice report! The lists were interesting, not maxed out but both had teeth. I'd have been tempted to take a Spellbreaking Rune, especially with Foot of Gork around. Equally, I don't rate Black Orcs. Gyrocopters might indeed have helped. I think deployment favoured O&G somewha...

Having spotted a pair of Goblin Wolf Rider scouts, Aldrik the Runesmith asked the thane from Clan Dulrok to assemble his clan and neighbors to the defense of the hold in the face of the incoming green menace! 2000 pt Battle Report between Dwarfs & Orcs & Goblins: https://www.livewaaaaagh.com...

All good points! I'll see what I finish my army with and test the Loremaster int he comign few games (smaller games, 1250 pts) where he should shine.

Thank you for the feedback! A couple of items on my end: - the idea of adding the BoH is interesting - I hadn't thought about it, but you're right. In the event that you're able to use fewer dice for more spells, a re-roll of 1 - 2 becomes important. I like this idea. - The lvl 2 high mage, was mean...

Thank you both! Will be playing some smaller games on a smaller table soon and will be sure to bring him along. I also think I made mistake in that combat - it was a weird combat because not all SMs were able to attack because fo the angle of the overrun, but I think I forgot some atatcks. (first ga...

Hi all, Recently added a Loremaster of Hoeth to my collection and have fielded him with a unit of 15 Swordmasters. Unfortunately, their first game, they were charged by a group of TK Necropolis Knights and they didn't quite survive the encounter, which I thought was odd to say the least. However, I'...

Hi! There are two groups I'm a part of that might be of some help:

Eight Edition for Life forum: http://eefl.freeforums.net/forum
Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1120492194631927

The Organ Gun was super-charged and did a lot of the killing, too bad the infantry units couldn't take advantage of the holes it left in the green horde Very much on target. I don't want to spoil it, but given what you wrote, you might be surprised at the ending You yourself pointed out LW that you...

Hi all, Being a new high Elf player, I'm seeking the wisdom of those that have played High Elves longer than I. I saw an old box on ebay that was selling Alarielle and their 10 maiden guards. Are these real? The 8th edition book has no maiden guards ( or does it, and I'm missing it?) There's the Han...

I'm just going to post after reading the lists, not the report proper or RE's thoughts. I can see the idea behind the O&G list, wrongfooting the Dwarfs. The magic and shooting defences are indeed largely wasted. However, these are not hugely expensive and the Dwarf list remains balanced. The sh...

Which army will you be rocking?

Regret to say it probably won't be High Elves - just not enough models or experience with them.

Likely Dwarfs or Tomb Kings!

Great report, as always! The O&G army was especially nice - Grom is a very characterful choice and his army was quite unlike the "green dwarfs" we sometimes see in competitive play. The Organ Gun was super-charged and did a lot of the killing, too bad the infantry units couldn't take ...

A dwarfen throng led by an experienced Runesmith clashed against Grom The Paunch and his Goblin horde in a 2000pt game for control over the Dwarfen Highlands near Black Fire Pass. Red the full report: http://www.livewaaaaagh.com/battle-reports/2017/8/5/live-from-the-old-world-episode-15-dwarfs-vs-or...

Yup! We were discussing this over on EEFL forum. I plan on being there!

Fun battle! And some really wild dice swings in there. I think the post match analysis was correct. A BSB really helps increase reliability. You can always fail a LD 9 roll. But failing two in a row is a lot harder. Some of the combats also had interesting results. I had expected more from the Tree...

Hi all,

Not sure if you've seen by now, but Total War released a quick preview of the campaign map and we get a nice look at Ulthuan:

Had a super fun battle between Tomb Kings & Wood Elves. 1250 pts, all the way to turn 6 and some unexpected MVPs.

http://www.livewaaaaagh.com/home/2017/6 ... wood-elves

Well, a Tomb Prince essentially gives Tomb Guard (or any unit he joins) WS5, and a Tomb King gives WS6. But is it worth the points at this level? A kiktted out Tomb Prince is something like 125 pts or so? That is 10% of your army at this point. Does he make the army 10% better by being in there? Or...

soften up the dwarves first. In particular, kill the Organ Gun. It helps that the TK's can heal as well. More magic would have certainly helped the TK. But then you run into the points limits fairly fast I think. Add 500 pts and the lists start looking very different quite fast. I wonder if it woul...

Good game and I'd be the last one to complain about posting TK stuff here :lol: What was the Hatred roll for the Dwarfs at the beginning of the battle? It usually influences how they do very much (we've house ruled it to be hatred against D3 units) Screaming Skull Catapult aims at Organ Gun and… DI...

Nice battle. It doesn't matter that it didn't feature any HE. We're a gaming site with a HE and warhammer focus. But anything goes. And I personally believe we become better players by also looking at (or playing with) other armies and their tactics. one thing I was wondering about in the battle re...

hi all,

I know this one doesn't feature High Elves, but figured someone might play one of the other armies featured.

Dwarfs vs Tomb Kings
http://www.livewaaaaagh.com/home/2017/6 ... -vs-dwarfs

Enjoy!

Thanks for the write-up! Did you play this game you vs. yourself? Do you this regularly? How does it work for you? Actually, I play with my wife here at home. She doesn't love painting but enjoys playing every now and then smaller games. I do sometimes test units against each other by myself, though!

Thanks for that! Fire magic was definitely the right choice here. As said it is good vs Flammable and Magic Missiles hurt Wood Elves generally. In fact, it's probably a good all-round choice for a Mage full stop. The Treemen were always going to be an issue. Big Fireballs help but Banner of the Wor...

Something that I don't know if it's been mentioned int he thread but is important too: People still play 8th edition. Sure, a lot of 40k players are playing AOS, so if you live near a GW store, the game is played quite a bit. and sure, 9th age grabbed hold of many tournament gamers, because it's the...

Hey! Welcome back to WFB! So other Phoenix Kings here will have a much better understanding of the army, as I just started playing with/against High Elves recently. Having said that, see comments below in red. 10 Archers w/full command (Light Armor) - 145 pts STR 3 bows against Dwarfs and their armo...

Thank you both for the feedback! First game took place last night: http://www.livewaaaaagh.com/home/2017/5/22/live-from-the-old-world-episode-12-high-elves-vs-wood-elves Dragon Princes went after a unit of 3 Treekin and they did very well. Unfortunately for them, the Treekin rolled double 1's on the...
