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...

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)?

Is teclis better than alarielle?

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?

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?

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?
