First game of AoS - SCGT Comp.

Hey! I am playing my first game of AoS in about a week. We are using the SCGT Comp, with 100 pool choices. The game is not going to be super competative, but i would still like to have an army that can pack a punch. I was hoping i could get some feedback on if the list is illegal (with SCGT Comp) or...

List construction for "Blackout" in september.

Hey. I was thinking about testing out the English tournament scene, and the comp-pack for the Blackout tournament in September caught my eye. Comp pack can be found here. In short, it is 2000 points with a free monster (up to 300 points) from either the Storm of Magic, Monstrous Arcanum or Scrolls o...

Re: Book of Hoeth v. Ring of Hotek

The wording is "on a roll of double 1, as well as double 6". As far as I can tell the main rulebook what happens in such "re-roll scenarios" such as the Book of Hoeth, but to me it seems like it implies a roll you check against after the spell is cast and the dispel-subphase star...

Book of Hoeth v. Ring of Hotek

Quick question; Say that a level 4 with the Book of Hoeth casts a spell at a unit containing a Dark Elf character wearing the Ring of Hotek. The first roll comes out as 1,1, 4 and 5, meeting the casting requirements. Now, the Ring of Hotek states that a roll of double 1's is considered a miscast. Ho...

Re: where is the FAQ now in the new site

I was wondering, similar to what was asked on TWF: Are all FAQs now considered to be obsolete? If I was new to the hobby, I certainly would not trust some document some guy said was legit, that in some cases completely change the rules as written. Thoughts?

Re: How wide do you deploy shadow warriors?

Skirmishers count has having zero ranks.

FAQ:
Page 77 – Special Rules, Skirmishers, Light Troops.
Change “[...]zero ranks[...]” to “[...]zero ranks in

For me, I usually go with a 3x2 setup, to minimize frontage, unless i am re-directing with them.

Re: Lileath's Blessing, Cumulative Effect

Does a +2 really equal two dice? The average of 1 dice is 3. The way I see it there is not really much of a difference between +1 and +2 to cast. If I get +2, the opposition would go from I might make it with the same amount of dice, to a clear cut: I can not risk it. In my experience: +2 to cast =...

Just replace hits with wounds and your good to go. Thats however just for the Shooting to Hit chart right? The norma...
