"Speaman, get out of our way!"

Hi everyone, I'm playing in a tournament at the moment, and the last few games have seen me wield 20 Phoenix guard, 30ish Speamen and 2 Bolt Throwers, amongst archers, Dragon Princes and more. The table size has been a normal 6 feet (tournament size I believe). I am finding it very difficult to posi...

Dragon Mage in 1600pt tournament...hehe

I just received a lovely dragon model and hope to include him in my 1600 point Army. This means I won't have space for a bsb. I guess all I wasnt is a bit of fun and to see, more importantly, if the units I've surrounded him with are good support for him. Lvl 2 Dragon Mage w Silver wand, Ironcurse, ...

Re: 1500 w Phoenix Guard - LOST

I knew the spears were too small after reading your responses. Unfortunately I only have the 20 Archers...so I'll have to decrease them and up the spears, which I dont mind doing, as they can be another hammer. By a few to many points in Lords/Heroes, does that mean I should only take a mage instead...

Archmage in Phoenix Guard Unit

Just wondering if someone could please list what benefits/protection a mage using a phoenix guard as a bunker would have, whether it be through an item. They don't get the 4+ ward save when they join the unit, I know. But what item(s) can affect the whole unit when given to the mage/champ?

I was just playing around with Army builder and saw in a 2500 point army I COULD take a Prince on foot with the White sword, Armour of Destiny and ToL.

Re: New HE player, part III

Archers are fairly useful in small numbers to take weapon teams. Shadow warriors are good for war machines. Every unit has its strong points.

And Just a general question, but if one does not need a particular model, say, a griffon, where might one inquire as to how one can obtain said model?
