Ulthuan

it was postponed to yesterday evening and we fought to a rather bloody draw. He brought Runelord with anvil Rune of +1T and +1W Rune of Spelbreaking + erasing a spell on 4+ Thane Rune of 2+ to hit and 2+ to wound Rune of stone Thane BSB Banner rune of all dwarfs within 12" are Stubborn 38 Longb...

Tomorrow morning (in about 10 hours) i will be playing against my brothers Dwarfs. I really don't know what he will bring, but he is a big fan of Iron Breakers, big blocks, killy lords and is likely to castle up I don't want to specifically design my list against dwarfs, but use it again later in th...

Please don't keep us waiting for to long. I'm really excited to see how this will end, as civil wars always are the most interesting match ups

i won't comment on the outcome, but his force looks rather intimidating. Best of luck

Pictures are good to display the painting and modeling skills of the opposings sides, but to better grasp the tactics of the game, battle chronicler diagrams are far superior. It hasn't been mentioned here, but i also prefer written battle rapports over youtube ones, because then i can read them at ...

thx for the reports looks like you played two solid games, stupid mistake in the 2nd game, but did you play with open lists?? if so, it's easy to forget an item in the heat of battle, if not, then it is indeed a security measury i would make as well. Was the noble really not capable of killing your ...

in experience, losing levels on the Loremaster is the worst result for miscast.... if you roll 3 or up you have lost your near 300pts caster..

thanks for the report, keep them coming

though match against the demons, i think you adressed your critical mistakes, but keep in mind that he would perhaps also deploy otherwise.

What was the order of your deployment?

Looking forward to the rest seems like you will have a hard time without any proper combat troops, but i'm crossing my fingers for you

I'm thinking that you could try and deploy everything as far away from the deployment line as possible. This would leave the organ gun and quarellers out of range, giving you time to deal with the gyro if it vanguards as violently as in the two games before. The cannon will still pound you, but a li...

I would love to make and compare my Guards to yours, but i would need some advice in moddeling and painting, as my skills are rather medicore. For a start i own 24 metal Phoenix Guard including two command groups, and twelve are painted in the colours of asuryan (it's from before i started on my arm...

Love the idea sofar. Your explanation for "Seekers of the lost" seems incomplete but i guess their experience in the drowned halls make them so grim and harsh that they instill fear in enemies, and that their spectral ancestor, claimed by the sea when ulthuan was about to sink and are now ...

A while back i saw a unit from cothique. They where marines with heavy armour (i think), shields, hand weapons and javelins. Can't remember the rules for them, but they where cothiquan marines, and they excelled at putting down monsters. Their home waters are after all one of the most monsterinfeste...

To illustrate Findolfin's point, i have taken two diagrams he made for his battle report against an HE-Dwarf alliance. A unit of Seaguards are acting as a anvil with a unit of hammerers waiting to hammer the flank of any charger. Under heavy dwarf bombardment a Dragon Prince bus had the choises of c...

Nice reports :) like you, i don't know much about the tomb kings, but i fail to see the logic in commiting so many ressources for a single monster and letting you take the brunt of the fighting alone. Think of the result if it wasn't mindless gors (no offence meant, they just match a simple and dete...

Quite often i use a pair of Tiranocs. Skaven is my main opponent and he favors the use of censor bearers, and the tiranocs can be quite effective in knocking them down, and are the non-mounstrous unit best capable of withstanding the fumes. I have often reduced the unit number to about seven, and if...

exciting battle sofar, don't keep us waiting to long for the end

Thanks for the reports so far, very interesting to read. I'm a bit confused about the lizardmen list and deployment. You don't mention the saurus block in the list, and you say that there are three skirmisher units and two javelin units of skinks, all being 10 models strong. On the board it looks li...

Thanks for the 117th report. I haven't played against either army, so it's great to read about TK and WoC, and other armies as well. And i don't have to leave ulthuan to do so

This is fantastic! Awesome! Please keep up the good work, and let us see the final round.

Was reading Hell Fen, which was good and exciting, but this is awesome and and i find myself cheering the High Elves for evey won combat. Outloud. In the middle of class.

Cool is often what celebrities do. Or a daring sport (which usually involves strong, musled guys and pretty girls). Or what the popular kid at school do. And WH is non of those things. It's great fun and a lovely way to pass the time. But it's not cool by any standard I've seen (other then with oth...

If you want woods and flowers, i would be catious to include the seafaring cothiquans and their hills and underground houses. The cothiquans are known for being the greatest seafarers and adventures, honed by sailing through the monster-infested seas north of Ulthuan, around the Blighted Isles. Doin...

That's for the BSB, look closely. Personally i think your list is fine. You might consider a razor standard to the phoenix guard, so they become really nasty. High Magic is good for killing lots of poorly protected enemies, which your army already have a lot of ways do deal with. You should consider...

First engagement with this list was last evening against the vermin horde. Will try to get a report up in the near future. His list was something like. Grey Seer Dispel Scroll Plauge Priest Chieftan BSB 2x30 Clan Rats Full Command, Warp Fire Thrower 2x30 Clan Rats Full Command, Rattling Gun 7 Plauge...

Wanted to try out spearmen in a new form, and trying to aproach an MSU-playstyle, i made up the following list. Loremaster Talsiman of Preservation, Earthing Rod, Charmed Shield Noble BSB Heavy Armour, Lion Cloak Shield of the Merwyrm, Sword of Might, Golden Crown of Atrazzar Lords and Heroes total:...

The scenario is, that i charged a noble on a griffon with swiftsense into a unit of 2 rat ogres + 2 handlers. I manage exactly six wounds to kill of the rat ogres before thunderstomp, and as the handlers technically are infantry and it wouldn't change the outcome of the fight much, i was allowed to ...

They are used to shoot at, is not the same as used to hit, and thus giving the lsg always hit with bowshots on 3+ is way to strong, but some rule to justify their lifelong expirences in naval warfare wouldn't be to much to ask. I like the idea of not getting -1 for moving, but that would make them a...

The star lance wielding drakemaster will have a target sign on him, if you play with open lists, as he's nasty and worth a bit. But he might be missed in your multiple threatening units, and will pay himself back, if he gets a charge on a nasty adversary like Mounstrous cavalry, non-regenerating mon...

I need no convincing in the spearelves combat prowess. Facing skaven a lot, i've often wished for spearelves instead of the archers or Seaguard that i brought (having few cavalry models, they all go to either reaver knights or dragon princes), as their extra ranks and attacks (over many rounds of co...

if i compare the seaguard to the spearelves, you lose something you needed and gain something you don't need (from my point of view at least). The seaguards where adding to the shooting fase and could be set to guard a flank when they weren't suited for the things going on, in the middle of the fiel...

last couple of games i've run one unit with bows and one with spears. The bow unit takes out small units like skaven weapon teams and goblin fanatics, while the spear unit aims for warmachines. Both are used to redirect. Has served me well sofar
