Re: YAY! an event that allows Teclis 2400...

Mage w/ Annulian Crystal would be wasted though, wouldn't it? Or does the stolen dice not count as generated dice per say, as Teclis already generates d3 dice in the dispel phase as well.

Re: How is 8th?

but what about the army that won the GT that year. You know, the one with the star dragon for a lord @2000pts, and the one that took either 240 or 260pts of core(I forget which) How can you say that percentages are worse with this army winning the English GT?

Re: How is 8th?

My friend has this book, and it makes the $80NZ that he paid much better than one of the normal ones. 208pg hardback larger than A4 full colour, cool effects and the whole shabang, what's wrong with that?

I was using 5 PG to bunker my mage.
if you have a champion in there then you don't even get a LOS- 5 is too small. Basically anything can kill them.

I certainly don't mind being a bottom tier army. It means that winning actually has some inherent skill, that when you win you deserve it. What I don't like, however, is sitting through opponent's rants about how always strike first is over powered, how the Star Dragon is still a top tier choice, ho...

Not at all. I think it's wrong for one Elven army to have ASF and two others not to have it. How? It specifically says that the ASF represents not the reflexes but the fighting style and experience. Just because Wood Elves have special bows doesn't mean that HE should too, even though the craftmans...

Its like playing with dual HPAs/Hydras/steamtanks, only worse. to be honest, I regularly see dual hydras at a three thousand point level, and while it ain't nice, personally feel that it is OK. At three thousand points, your enemy has all of his toys, something which the high elf book lacks. Book o...

Turn one when he targeted your dragon, it appears to me that had he targeted your eagle next to the dragon, Searith would have been too isolated to charge the hellcannon.
