Re: Introduction topic

Hi there.

It was a calculation specifically for Ulthuan with some imprecise/rough estimates for other places. I think it should still be somewhere in the background section, probably towards the end since it happened 18 or so years ago :)

Since I also play Dwarfs I can assume your opponent had the combo MRoHesitation+RoConfusion and then proceeded to wreck face :mrgreen:

Re: LOTS of Archers ?

All that said, I don't think shooting is the thing that's going to win us games all on its own. It's a supplement. The more games I get in, the more I think building lists like we did in 7th, with bare minimum core and focusing on our Special and Rare choices, is what's going to get us wins. And fo...

Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

The main difference is that it makes them immune to Monster Slayer. A character on Chariot is immune via their new unit type to the two main "auto kill" USR-s.

Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

I sort of agree with Morgen. While there are certainly scenarios where such an action would be fitting it being a "go to tactic" to me is imersion breaking and would not look favourable on such actions even if I acknowledge them as legitimate.

Re: Speculating/Wish listing on the High Elf Arcane Journal

There used to be several magical institutioms in the Old World before Teclis established the Collegues. There was the wizards guild in Marienburg, magic school in Middenheim, wizards attached to the church of Taal in Talabheim, that is at least what I remember of the top of my head.

I concern regarding Teclis is that he might not feature since he has a model in AoS (a rather derpy looking one but still current).

Re: Speculating/Wish listing on the High Elf Arcane Journal

Both Tyrion and Teclis were "players" at the time ToW takes place. Their "introduction" happened in 2173, so they would have had a whole century to establish their renown.

A BSB can indeed ride a Griffon or a Dragon if with Queen's Cavalier honour. Though I am unsure what banner do you mean under "Banner of Avelorn" in T9A?

Re: How much of a problem is Impetuous on a Prince on Dragon?

It's ridiculous to assume somehow it's always going to be bad. For random games I wouldn't care and it is somewhat in character with Caledorian background but at an event where there is a limited number of turns/games that determine the eventual ranking the risk of that happening even in one of the...

Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

There has been little to no downside since 8th ed. started. Perhaps but I think a reduced lords allowance, more in line with 6th ed (so ideally 1 per 2k) would solve this. What are people's thoughts on shadow warriors now? I'm considering a unit of 5 with chariot runners and feigned flight (they ca...

Re: 2k "Anti-Meta" Competitive List

Why not the Ogre Blade combo? Its effectiveness vs monsters is roughly comparable to Dragon Slaying Sword but it gives you so much more versatility against everything else.

Re: Spell Generation

Having spent the past 8 years with T9A way of writing rules and layout W:ToW books are too "messy" from an ease of use PoV. They might be easier to read through as the text is not as dry but finding solutions is a bit of a drag.

Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

I would prefer a ceiling to any unit cost... (Even at 30%, you could came out a 600pts fully kitted uber dragon lords at 2000pts). Also stop to 60 men unit shenanigans... So to be honest: 500pt unit limit 0-3 to everything, on top of other limitation. At least 3+ non-single piece units. Unit max wi...

The whole Rule of Three is completely rediculous in my opinion. Yes, you'll run into that one player who wants to bring 18 (or whatever) Gyrocopters. They are not the issue. A much bigger issue is that tooled up Prince on Stardragon with a 2+, 5++, 5++ save people can bring at 1500 pts. Yes, you ca...

If you are expecting you will be playing against VC regularly some way of getting Magical Attacks on the Prince is a priority. The last thing you want is for the Dragon to be locked in by an Ethereal unit.

Re: A Look at High Elf Rules in The Old World

I think 5 in the front rank is the max one should use. I have some experience with it from 6-8th ed Tomb Kings. It is doable but requires a fair bit of chaff/anti-chaff support.

edit @ also I would almost always pair it with an Elementalist wizard to fully exploit all those Impact Hits.

Interesting read. I haven't even tried to make any army above 2000 pts. The closest I got to that was transferring my current T9A HE army into ToW points to see what is the difference.
