Finishing up on his diary entry for the last week Altatar finished his food and took the glass of water with him upstairs as he looked for his quarters for the night. He placed his belongings on a table which had a mirror on it and then started to undress for his sleep (OOC: not naked just no robe)....

Re: Looking for critics, 2000pts

Re: Adam Sinclair's YouTube BatReps (Update: 065 HE vs NEW DE)

But the Cold Ones would flee in a different direction and the bases of the Phoenix and PG would not have come into contact with both Hydra and Execs.

But anyways it would make very little difference (probably still be a 20-0).

Why can't I buff the WL? The whole idea is to give them Earthblood in combat as well as other stuff like Wildform. Swapping them out for PG is a nice idea but they are 15ppm and 10 minimum so will cost me 150 points for min unit and even dropping the SM and Eagle wont give me enough. Also I have swa...

Re: Wood Elf rumors

oh Hatred on Forest Spirits is both fluffy and good game balance (to make up for no ASF). But those bows seem too good to be true! S4 all the time or just at short range again? Also, no mention of move and fire penalty?

Re: All three elite at 2500?

Personally I think its because our elites are all chosen on a battle plan before hand and then given the numbers and command etc to let them carry out that plan reliably. If you spread yourself across all 3 then you are lacking specialty for variety. A 'Jack of all Trades but Master of none' situati...

Re: BSB standard bonus after refusing a challenge

I would say you still get the +1 bonus for the BSB as it clearly states you don't get the 'Hold your Ground!' rule but says nothing about the +1. Play the game as normal all the time unless a rule changes it. You normally get +1 but refusing a challenge gets rid of the re-rolls but nothing else from...

Re: Are hits from the Reign of Chaos table magical?

I agree that with RAI it would be that they are magical (Deamons are magical beings and it is done in the magic phase) but if it does not say it anywhere then it would be hard to argue with someone speaking in pure RAW.

Ask yourself if it would affect Ethereal units.

Under the rules of Hatred in the BRB it states "A model striking a hated foe in close combat". This to me means we have to determine what GW intended as 'foe', is foe the model or the book? To me its the model. Purely by fluff the Dark Elves Hate High Elves but what reason have they got to...

Re: Fiery convocation and grey seer

The target of the spell was the unit so it remains (unless dispelled) on the unit, but if a character was affected but left that unit he is now no longer affected by the spell as he was not the target, but the unit was (so it remains affected) and he is only part of that unit while inside the unit.

I think the reason as to why people are not discussing the Warlocks so much is that there is not really a lot you can do besides shoot and magic them quickly which can be hard due to their 4+ ward as we all know about that can be. I would say that maybe Banishment if you want to go for them and devo...
