Thanks for the replies. Yes it definitely was a tough matchup. I don't think there could have been much else I would have done differently besides holding the left phoenix and hoped that the helm bus+phoenix could have broken the longbeards on T2 (but failing two charges rolling 1,1,2 and 1,1,3 was ...

Just got finished with a game against my friend's 2500pt dwarf list. He wanted to try out his anvil (has been too paranoid to use it yet in like 5 years), so he has a bit more melee dwarf list with lots of GW's. I brought my AIRU (phoenix+speed list) to see how it would match up. See the link below ...

Ooooooo, definitely love the concept of the list. Being reliant on the magic phase for the past few years with the last book, this seems like a very welcome change. Also gives you have nice option of completely getting rid of remains in play spells on your turn. Also one thing I noticed about your l...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I do understand the risks on taking the monster mash list. I don't plan on taking it to any tournaments since it does have some hard counters. I guess I do fall into the 'new shiny' syndrome somewhat. However, I don't mind succumbing to it for a little while, since f...

Ok, so with the new phoenixes out (and being able to pick up a few of the boxes), I wanted to do the mass phoenix/speed approach. Asuryan Immediate Response Unit (or AIRU for short): 1 Annointed of Asuryan (star lance, AoC, luckstone, pot of fools) on Frost Phoenix === 540 1 Caradryan on Ashtari ===...

TBH Hero I didn't mind so much. I have about a 95% win rate against him (something always seems to go wrong for him when we play) and are good friends in real life. Ive been telling to take stronger lists so it looks like he took my advice :wink: Anyway, its good to see the weaknesses of the list, p...

DOH, well that would make sense, since before he had 55 magic points...

Hey everyone, Decided to try and record my battle yesterday against Empire and upload to youtube for the first time ever. Wanted to see if my Tablet would work since I don't have any other recording equipment. Its just summery style at the end of the turn, and I missed some little things but hopeful...

We should be better off me thinks (some of this was already stated above): -BotWD against str5 grudge throwers is pure win, especially on an infantry unit like SM or WL where it would otherwise be decimated. -Ironcurse icon+high magic bonus. Start with a 6+ ward, should become a 5+ (or more) ward pr...

Thanks everyone for you inputs, still trying to decide between the normal list and the Coven >_< I'll lock it down sometime tonight when I stop pacing.

Caradryan is not a bad idea, but I don't have the model and I don't think we can use proxy's

Coven List option 1 AM + lvl4 +Corin (or Jewel) + F. Robes + Tali of Saph [General, Light] ===365 1 Noble + GW +RGoH + Pigion pendant +BSB +D. armor [Light]===174 1 Mage + Dispell Scroll +skeinsliver [Light] ===145 1 Mage + lvl2 + seerstaff (banishment +Phas) [Light] ===165 29 Archers + FC + flaming...

I've been thinking about bolt throwers lately, but I just shiver a bit inside due to my old track record with them (lets just say that getting a 4+ to hit is more like a 6+ with my archers and RBT). I think I'll work them in again, but I don't know if I want to do that in a tournament setting. I did...

Update: just got to play against my friends tournament WoC army, and I got beyond massacred (hasn't happened in a long time). I went with Life/metal, but didn't realize that the Prince, along with all his other toys can take the dragonbane gem. With that and flying over units and breathing with ever...

I have a GT that is coming up and need to submit my list tomorrow. I think I have my army list down, but haven't committed to choosing my lores. The tournament is closed list, and several of the senarios encourage having your general near the front (and champions+standards), so I went with the unkil...

I'll tack on a little bit more tactics, although some of it has been stated before. Besides the BoH, the unkillable Archmage build is probably the best (Robes, Talisman, Wand) The AM gets to stay with the battle line (say PG, WL or even spears). He then gets to move foward with the army, and make us...

Ouch Asmodeus, that sounds pretty brutal >_< I also just ran into a pretty nasty new list if I say so myself yesterday, against a friend I play often, who is probably the best fantasy general at the FLGS. His army contained the following at 2500pts: -D Prince with 1+/5++, regen a wound on a 6 per wo...

I'm really liking the 2 lvl 2 mages with shadow. I think you only have points for silver wand and dispell scroll to hit 300pts even correct? Combine that with ~300pts archers, 4 eagles, and two small blocks of elites and you're good to go with dwarves. Reduction in T is sweet for dwarf war machines,...

He is taking a hydra????? *hides in a corner* It is very powerful (and pretty much undercosted for everything it can do). The last tournament I played in, I ran into two. In T2, he solo charged a hydra into the front of my 30 White Lions (who are designed to kill monsters). After combat....well, the...

From your previous list, here are the tweaks I would make: 1 Mage, lvl2, silver wand 145 [High magic is a very good choice for this list, every spell is useful (and you'll have 4 spells to play with), and low casting values for unbuffed winds of magic] 11 Archers +mus 126 11 Archers +mus 126 29 Whit...

Socal Smackdown reports (3 games) HE 2400pts. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/9/26/415182_sm-HE%20BSB.jpg This was my first out of the FLGS tournament, and wasn’t sure what to expect. Note I only have a few pictures, since I didn't have much time during the games to even get lunch. The arm...

Brewmaster_D Thanks for the great blog you have! I usually don't post but I have been following you're blog with great interest. I have been testing out the list myself with very minor changes (switching ring of corin mage for a BSB noble with radiant gem:light and dropping some Leadership items). T...

Alright, here's take 2 (incorporating some of the above advice). Lords: Prince (Gen.)- 442 G. weapon, armor of caledor, vambraces of defense, griffon Heroes: Noble- 188 BSB, G. weapon, dragon armor, b. steed, helm of fortune, guardian phoenix Core: 52 Spearelves- 508 full command, banner of swiftnes...

Howdy y'all, I have been lurking on the forums for a several months now, starting up my HE again and getting some wins under my belt (and some losses too). I have been having a blast with some of the standard builds, but I wanted to try something more daring. Originally I wanted to have an emphasis ...
