Overall, it is like any gamer site. Has a spread of opinions, moderate debates, and a few who go over t...

It was not that DE were cheeper that used to annoy me, but two units that should have been similar in abilities being way off. Reaver knight vs Dark Riders Shadow warriros vs shades.

Re: The Blade of Leaping Disappointment

But the wording for the star lance " if the bearer did not charge this turn, or his mount has been slain, he must instead fight using another weapon" no mention of hand weapon, so you could by GW for your charater for the second rd of combat.

All non mage charaters have basic equipement built into profile and have a magic pts allowance. So can upgrade to magic weapons/armour at will. on the magic items.
