Re: Spearman vs Seaguard
If I'm not mistaken you can shoot into ANY close combat even if you are already engaged. I'll take it you haven't played against Dwarf Quarrelers yet? Have fun. Go with Sea Guard so you can melee fight facing one direction, turn 180 degrees (turning their backs to the people trying to kill them) and...

Cauldron of Blood Challenge Question(s)
Situation: My silver helm bus charges the flank of a witch elf horde (cauldron & hag BSB in the middle.. 3 ranks total) and the hag BSB issues a challenge (and I accept) does the hag move into base to base contact with my knights (replacing the 3 rank and file witch elves) or can he conveniently...

I'll also be attending Redstone Rumble this October.. huzzah! Always nice to see the southeast USA represent on the forums as well. Having said that your list is very similar to mine except for the frosty. I realize he's cannon fodder but he is the best monster in the game and he almost always pulls...

Looking for pic of coolest dragon (with lighting effects)
Greetings gentlemen, can anyone point me in the right direction of the picture that someone posted a while back with an unbelievably amazing dragon that's suspended in the air and fire breathing down on the rocks - which also feature glowing/lighting effects from the flame? If I'm not mistaken there...

Re: 2500 Tournament CavBus + Star Dragon
Yo John doesn't that list weigh in at 2480? Also, why units of 6 reavers? Don't you find 5 optimal?
I assume you bring champions in those units to eat the challenge so your prince on star dragon doesn't get held up?

Re: High Elf 2500 Non-Comped List
I never understand why people bring phoenix guard 7 wide. Isn't minimizing attacks back at you the better choice (i.e. 5 wide) with such a defensive unit? I get that S4 armour piercing can do some good things but if you're relying on this unit to kill stuff you're probably going to lose.

Re: Viability of Dragon Princes
I always bring a unit of 5 - typically with the star lance (or the ogre blade) + charmed/enchanted shield to the champ - and they always seem to do their job. I always bring them with the movement banner and deploy them on a flank. It's not unusual for them not to engage combat... sometimes their ch...

Re: Coven of Light
I hear a whole lot about this 'forbidden rod' arcane item for 35 points..
For one use to add D6 to my power pool seems not worth it at all to take D3 wounds - especially on a lower level caster whose got no ward saves.
Can someone please explain the value of this item to me? I'm just not seeing it.

Re: Uncomped tournament advice
I hear the idea of 2 lvl 2's in a silver helm bus being thrown around rather frequently. Are you deploying them 3 wide? If so, doesn't lack of ranks greatly handicap them (in case they get charged)?

Re: Uncomped tournament advice
Thanks for your feedback. If I may ask, why would you prefer a 2+ save to a 3+, 5++ ? For 625 (well, 623 to be exact) points you can squeeze in the star lance, armour of fortune, golden crown, and OTS.
Also, does your above list not have a mage?

Re: 2500pt tournament list (named characters allowed)
With a 2+ ward vs miscasts you better believe I made sure the spell went through every time. It went well, but I wish some of the wiser minds of this forum would have given me the heads up that fortitude and objectives are just as important as sheer victory points. I was simply unable to compete in ...

A few movement questions from today's game
1) If I'm marching my 5 wardancers - deployed 5 wide - strait forward do I move 10" then make a free reform to turn 90 degrees (so that 1 or 2 of them may go beyond 10") or do I have to account for that turn and only move 8" forward so that not a single wardancer goes beyond 10"?...

I know it doesn't work on Treeman Ancient, or Duruthu, as they are listed as characters. Seems strange that a cavalry model counts as 2, but a monster gets D3+1 back?

A few questions arose from today's game..
1) If an Annointed is mounted on a flame phoenix does he get to roll to revive if he's fleeing and caught after losing combat?
2) If I'm fighting a large rank and file unit to my front and a solo character flanks me, can he decline a challenge?
Thanks.

Flanking
If I get flanked by two units, one from either side, does that count as +1 for charge and an additional +1 for flank for both units, for a total of +4? Assuming I don't kill either or reform, do they get +2 at the end of the round for being in both flanks?
