Ulthuan

I found most of the reviews to be somewhat in line with how I have been feeling (while not play testing much). But I sort of disagree with the dragon Mage rating. I agree that he is a rather weak choice, but he only got better really. Losing his extra dice does suck, but he generally didn't cast tha...

It would seem to me to only be beneficial to put the Mage in the group to get a ward save off of his spells, but in a dart you want him behind the front rank so only hex and augments work. I think a dart of two wide and three back out be better and not hurt as much if it bounces or dies on the way in.

Thanks much for the reply. I thought I was right about them not playing it correctly, but didn't want to cause a issue only to find out they were right in the first place.

At the local store there was a small point tourney where everyone was saying that even though you can modify a stat, if you take a stat check with it the modifier isn't used as the brb say look at the base stat when making the check. So if I miasma a unit from I4 down to 2, and then pit of shades th...

The 20 Phoenix guard are fine. The white lions should be fine as they would function as flankers/support to the PG and can form up in a 4x3 block and still get all their attacks. If you drop a musician on one of the archer regiments you can upgrade the Mage to level 2.

I would go lore of shadow or metal with a level four as it those two can really scare high armored foes. I would try to get banner of swiftness on the sword masters so they can get where they are going faster. All in all I like the list.

The blade of leaping gold is a no go for 70 points. Just take sword of bloodshed and a strength potion. The only way I would run the blade of leaping good is if I already had the sword of bloodshed, and lets be honest, that's a very odd list in the works right there.

If you are going to run the banner of the world dragon I would give it to the white lions and give their banner to the Phoenix guard. If it was me, I would drop it all together and run an extra eagle.

I agree on bringing an eagle. While its true that it will get stomped in combat verses ogres, it's one of the best ways to screw up their movement. And more lions would be much better as it doesn't take much to kill 10, even at such a low point level. As far as characters go, the Mage with miasma se...

The first list is better. If models are limiting you the only suggestion I have is to drop the level upgrade on the Mage and use the savings on a dispel scroll. If models aren't limiting I would cut as much fat around as you can until you have 50 extra for a Great Eagle.

TK infantry are hardly worth their weight in plastic. Just ram any of our infantry blocks into them and watch them crumble. TK are the weakest book that fantasy has seen in a long time. Spears, sword masters or white lions will crunch any skeleton unit in a few rounds of combat. This is coming from ...

GW did a very good job of making both the fanasy and 40k boxes a rip off that is only evident when you open it up and see what you actually don't have. The real shame is that they are meant to be a way to get new players into the game, but it seems the only new players GW wants are those who make si...

Tomb Kings are one of the biggest tragedies in 8th edition. The only way to run the army anyone once had in 6th and 7th is to pony up a ton of cash to get a boat load of stone cats and pray you don't fight any armies with: 1- magic removal spells or 2- a modest amount of cannons. Having played them ...

GW listened way too much to the people that cried about fantasy being too magic/ magic item dependent (and these same people in my experience are the ones who will always be seen using the most broken combos in the game... cough cough Dark Elves cough) so accidently made magic way too powerful in so...

If griffens were worth anything in Fantasy at the moment and I wanted to run two I would probably get this beauty! As it is now I have a hard time justifying painting the cat bird I have form the IoB.

Here is a bigger picture of the two boards, without stuff to clutter it up. And thanks for the comments! Hopefully I will get the third board done in the next week or two. http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/ekalbtwins/DSCN1012.jpg http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/ekalbtwins/DSCN1009.jp...

And here is one more.

So I have two out of the three boards for my friend 90 % done.





*not an actual battle!*

I ran a list with max spell casters all running with fire one time. It would have worked better if I had remembered to add the d3 to the casting role! Fire is a sort of under rated spell set, and the rules for picking the lore before set up is sort of to blame as fire does not have that 'end all spe...

Here she is with a few layers of paint on her. I still have a bunch of stuff to do to before the whole thing is ready to be painted but I wanted to see if the texture was what I was going for. So far so good. http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/ekalbtwins/DSCN0760.jpg http://i415.photobucket.co...

These are a few Zerg/Tyranid bases that I did up a few days ago. Sorry they are so hard to see, my camera just did not want to focus on all that pink!

I do get bit with that bug a lot. It is just nice to work on something that big instead of little army men from time to time.

Your work is absolutely stunning my friend.

I got some more work done on the Dragon Prince. At this rate it will take a good three weeks to finish the unit of 5.

I have pretty much got this piece ready to sand and then paint.

Yeah I noticed that too, but need to have some red on the model to tie it to the rest of my army. I am going to add a few washes and inks to it to darken it a bit and see if that helps tone it down.

Needless to say we both rather liked the idea of running games where your prize unit just might get hit by a small or large blast template and watch them all die! My buddy and I played a similar version where each turn was a possibility of a meteor crashing into the table. Depending on the size you...

Thanks! It will look even better when I get it all done up with dry wall putty, rocks and sand.

Looks very clean painting so far. PS: just finish de Tz prince :mrgreen: I would love to paint him up, but he is not my model so I need to ask the owner if I can, and I believe he really wants to, and I have to get the Princes done so I can use em in a tourny on the 20th of November, although ironi...

And now for a few pics of my new toys. I had the 6th ed models but my at the time 2 year old crushed them and scattered their remains all over my home! It is still a wip. http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/ekalbtwins/High%20elves/DSCN0712.jpg http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/ekalbtwins...
