Re: Warscrolls

The thing is...this actually looks REALLY fun. I mean, OK, take out the weird rules that have people riding imaginary ponies or whatnot, but the rules are clear, the idea behind each model and army is still there quite honestly, every unit seems good. Like, EVERY unit. You can now use those sweet mo...

Re: Alternate Griffon models

I have this model and it's beautiful, but does require some conversion work to get a proper GW elf sitting on top.

Re: ET Archaon [SPOILERS!!!]

You can always play a more balanced table top game. GW certainly wasn't the end all of table top games and is known for two things above all: rule ambiguity and being massively unbalanced. So if your gripe is with game play unbalance, I'd say try a different game. The one thing GW had going for it w...

Potentially yes, if they add this "unbound" mode in 9th edition it could work if they do take care with unit design. But as it stands, in 8th edition it's just bollocks. There isn't even the atenuant of "troops" getting some kind of rule, like ObSec, and Rares and characters ten...

Personally I just put my lion riders on 25x50 bases and used them as Dragon Princes.

Re: Khaine Magic: Doomfire Warlocks vs Sisters of the Thorn

One thing to note is that none of the High Elf steeds are fast cavalry so if you go with a Noble and Khaines Ring or a High Archmage the Sister/Warlock unit will lose their fast cav rule, which I feel is one of their strongest attributes. It feels like it was an unfortunate oversight by GW since th...

Re: Khaine Magic: Doomfire Warlocks vs Sisters of the Thorn

I think the best option here is to take multiple casters and units like this. Take your level 4 and a unit of warlocks/sisters and you have access to an incredible amount of spells. Then, when the situation arises or when you roll poorly for the number of casting dice you have other casters/spells ...

The big question for me is whether or not a 500+ point unit is worth it as the caster though?

Yup. You still have to have 3 units and a min of 25% spent on core, but if you really wanted you could have a Core+Characters army and have it be legal.

Yeah. They're 300 points naked, and while you do get a free Manticore or Scourgerunner they're not exactly the most sturdy of mounts. He does give the monster D3 extra attacks though. Still not worth it in my opinion.

Re: A new steed for the Caledorians?

That model is nice but not $500 nice. I mean even by GW standards that is insane. I'd love to know the scale on that thing. It'd better be the size of my playing board because I can commission someone to sculpt me a dragon for cheaper than that.
