Re: How much of a problem is Impetuous on a Prince on Dragon?

I don't think it is a big issue, the dragon will stomp almost anything it faces into the ground anyway. My go to dragon build will be: Prince on Stardragon with Blood of Caledor, Bedazzling Helm, Seed of Rebirth, and Sword of Might, shield. The Sword of Might is there to ensure that the unit isn't c...

Re: 6th edition homebrew rules

I'm about to start a pretty loose 6th edition campaign with some work folks and having looked through the book, I like these errata a lot. I doubt they'd be game to include errata like these, the guy running the campaign LOVES 6th. Maybe I can convince them to try 7th or 8th down the line. Glad you...

Re: 6th edition homebrew rules

Thanks for the response, Spell Archer, I really appreciate it. Seems like these changes weren’t very controversial at all. Happy to see that. It might also be that not that many play 6th edition anymore. On the archers firing in two ranks. It is probably the best upgrade here, and I think it is need...

6th edition homebrew rules

Hi! Its been a few years since I actually logged on to this forum (KoW and other stuff has been the focus after GW's meltdown), but as I am growing older I am slowly drifting back to my favorite Warhammer edition, and I have some friends who are in i similar position. However, 6th had some issues am...

Re: First 1000 pts. Kings of War Elves list

I think the list looks pretty good. Have you considered putting the King on a horse? It might help him get where he is needed. I would also drop the armour on him, as I prefer to not use the items banned in the Clash of Kings tournament rules, but also because you might want to consider using the s...

Kings of War and the freedom to create.

You two make a compelling argument for the game. What's the difference between the free rules pdf and the rules book (besides not having to print everything yourself to have a hardcopy version)? @Francis; do you have some pictures of your pike army?

I still play elves, but the Kingdoms of Men list has allowed me to play the kind og human fantasy army I always wanted (pikes) and so I am foc...

Hi, and great choice of army theme (Lothern). This sort of force is one that is close to my heart. When you create an Eataine/Lothern force there are a few things to remember. The first and most important is that you can do what you'd like with your own army. With that out of the way, we can get dow...

There are a few over at the mantic forums regarding elves, but on the whole I find less of these sort of articles than I did with WFB. It might be because KoW 2nd edition is rather young.

I think the Hail Ceasar fantasy rules are pretty good, although I haven't looked at them for quite a while. That said, I also think 9th age is alright if you are into tournaments, but for me I just feel like the ETC mindset permeates the system too much. My favourite ruleset at the moment is Kings o...

Dreadfleet was alright, the problem was that I and others expected Man O' War, and we got a stand alone game with lots of special"character" ships rather than the generic fleets that people wanted.

Re: Specialist games return?

It's pretty much confirmed now from various sources. Blood Bowl first they say, then Epic and Battlefleet Gothic. This new division will also support LotR/Hobbit. The fan-boy in me just want to jump up and down screaming "GW IZ BACK" but the cynic in me is desperatly holding the fanboy down.

Re: What is your favorite warhammer character?

For the high elves, I like Teclis and Aislinn best.

Overall, it's probably Skarsnik (and gobla), Leitdorf, and Queek Headtaker. I also have a soft spot for Thanquol.

If that is so, then alas 9th Age is doomed to fail from its very inception. Quoted for truth. I can not see 9th age succeeding if the the only intention is to create a game for ETC players. Even though the ETC crowd have managed to grab an unwarranted amount of attention based on the number of play...
