Re: 2nd Edition Kings of War release

And it takes just a single melee wound to disrupt it and stop it from shooting. Archer hordes are very vulnerable to light cavalry and flyers. They might last longer but 250 points of melee 5+ isn't very effective. I was a little harsh last night. Archer hordes can work but you will need to devote ...

Re: 2nd Edition Kings of War release

Based on your list above, for 2000pts, I really think you should make the Archer Regiment a Horde. Here's a key point to consider when thinking about hordes of Shooters - the unit leader (center of the front rank) is all that matters (for shooting): This means that while your unit does physically ta...

Sinsigel, I think in the broad scheme of the meta you'll find that Skaven are having trouble dealing with the Warrior and Ogre armies that tend to be out there. Not sure how they matchup against Daemons (though I assume its not too well, especially if Nurgle is involved). If the Skaven player knows ...

Edition slur. Happens all the time. Especially in the 'absence' of an old rule.

The old Overrun/Pursue due to Hatred; Terror tests for a unit within 6", etc. The list goes on for rules that have just disappeared that you have to 'forget'.
