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: The Falklands
I agree with Rod. The distant past really just does not matter here. Argentina just aint getting that island back without making enemies of everyone in the western world. To get it back, they will have to uproot 1500 people. Where I live, the government is putting in a new road and forcing 3 familie...

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?

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 was using 5 PG to bunker my mage.

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...

Watch out for the giant demon-it is narshty.
Over all, however, they are a fairly overpriced list- nothing major to worry about.(I have played against them three times)

On a less sarcastic note- I really like those changes curu. After playing a number of games with your list, I always felt that the DPs were the ghost at the wedding. (probably because I don't know how to use them!)

I am entrenched in the etc-is-like-fixing-a-Faberge-egg-with-a-hammer camp. the system simply encourages identical army choices. Look at last years event. One wood elf list.

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. It was either advance with the warriors or kill the eagle, and in the end he did neither. Well played though Curu, you showed him...
