Hi Guys, This is a bump post but also an update to the original. I have changed my mind on selling as whole so am also willing the trade as per an arrangement made with Asurion.

Re: Anathir's Host of Averlorn - Update fri.june.29

You could always do a blue-grey helmet as opposed to purple. It would likely draw away from the all over grey but not take away the brighter blue.

Re: High Elf Army For Sale

Hi Guys, To answer your questions Asurion the three bolt throwers are all plastic models. One of them is painted a lurid blue but looks like it could be stripped as easily as any other paints. The Prince model is the standard one from the kit. Assembled with sword and shield. The BSB has also been a...

High Elf Army For Sale

Hi Guys, Due to circumstances beyond my control my local gaming buddies have moved away from WHFB and so I no longer have a use for two separate armies. Therefore I'm looking to sell my HElves and I know you guys are the ones that would be interested. I have the following packed delicately in a box ...

Re: GW and price increases

I have heard it said (on the interwebz, so to be taken with a grain of salt...) that the special characters in the TK improve their play massively. Almost to the point where they seem designed as being instrumental to their book. And not in the Teclis OP blow up in your face kind of instrumental. B...

Seredain and Galrauch stared at each other across the open field and said their particular racial equivalents of “Next time, Gadget. Next time...” This pretty much sums up that entire combat.

I think if you're going to plan on using the Reavers as another speed bump, then having them cheaper than DPs is key. Curu has been having awesome luck without them in his Dragon list and I can't see it hurting yours any either. I don't think you've sacrificed anything that makes your 2500pt list so...

Re: In praise of the Talisman of Loec

Would this not mean that "re-roll any successful saves" could be interpreted as this character now auto-fails all rolls. Because every successful one needs re-rolling? Just a noob ish question but that's how it reads. Unless it only means re-roll the first of each successful save. I dunno.

Re: Brewmaster D's Coven of Light Blog - New Tactics Article

I like the write up D! Makes a lot of sense. How do you think the coven would work in a mobile format? In the recent White Dwarf they mounted a Mage and ran it in a dragon prince unit. Got me thinking one archmage on foot and two mounted level ones might be fun if a little expensive.
