Re: Ulthuan.net 8th edition P&M guide to the Asur

Hey Jimmy - I was just reading through this again, and nice work, btw! One thing is though I think it is in thorough need of an update for our new book! Stuff like saying reavers may not be used much - now they're core. Indeed it almost seems as if GW knew that in the future reavers would be core......

I just wanted to say hi to all the forumites here since I've had a rather long leave of absence from this forum.

I'm with AntaresCD here. It says its capped at 1+. This means it is never better than that, for whatever reason. So the new chaos MC have an armour save of 1+, for whatever purpose, spells, armour reduction, whatever. It's always a 1+.

Re: Finally some reason to use Shadow Warriors

Without turning this into a wishlisting thread, but I think that would impinge on way watchers too much. Personally I'd like them to have sniper. That would be both characterful and individual, and also not too overpowered.

Re: Curse of Arrow Attrachtion & 7's to hit

I'm pretty sure you roll them all - 6's followed by 4's, and then roll all the fails again - 6's then 4's.

Cause when you roll the first roll (the 6's) you haven't actually figured out how many hit or miss :)

I think. Either way I think that makes the most sense.

I don't have any eagles atm. If I get some before the tournament I'll fit them in, but unfortunately I don't have any.
That being said, the list above isn't the one I'm currently planning on taking. I'm thinking more of a dragon list, thanks to Jimmy :D

Re: How do you deal with skaven slaves

How exactly are you calculating combat res...?
clanrats in the SM example the rats only have 3 ranks plus 1 kill for a combat res of 4, against your 16 or whatever, they lose, not you.

Seems to me you've got some rules wrong. All of our elite infantry should win combat every round against slaves.
