Re: Elithmar's Chariot Prince Blog - Report against Empire

A bit of bad luck on your side for failing that fear test, but your opponent was even more unlucky failing three panic tests and then failing two rally tests! Well he should have out his general with the main body of troops for LD8 of course, but still. The new detachment rules frankly suck. In the ...

Re: Empire list for review

Looks a nice enough list. Small (I'd like a 2nd infantry block myself) but that's the case with almost all empire lists these days. Lots of mobility, and a STank to top it off, it'll certainly put some pressure on your opponent. Characters look goo too, but give the BSB a great weapon instead of an ...

Re: Curu Olannon's Vindicators - 2500pts Army Blog

@ Curu: your last list looks pretty much optimal for this setup I'd say. I'd only change one thing, and that's up to preference: I'd make the White Lions with the BoS into a unit of Phoenix Guard. These guys can soak up a lot of damage with their ward, helping against gunlines. Ok they don't hit as ...

Re: Curu Olannon's Vindicators - 2500pts Army Blog

Curu, While I can see the reasoning behind your new list, I think it has one definite flaw: it focuses the army's points (and strength) in two units. This means that if your opponent can deal with these or delay them, and win the battle. Plus some spells are just too dangerous even to a big unit lik...

Re: Eagle Prince vs. Skaven

Very nice report; I thought your cavalry would be wasted on the flank fighting those big blocks but they pulled through. A little mistake of your opponent, perhaps. He should have placed the general somewhere safe so he could still provide his LD to those units. When I'm playing skaven, my general i...

Re: EMP vs HE - This one was quick...

If my mate turned up with that list with 6 war machines in it I'd simply put one on his chin. That's crap and simply not a fun game at all. Wait, what? I can't see what the big deal is with 6 war machines. More than 6, okay, but 6 is a perfectly healthy amount I think. Remember that empire state tr...

Re: EMP vs HE - This one was quick...

Ouch. A harsh list that's for sure, but I don't know if it's really an over-the-top list. Two mortars and two cannons are pretty standard equipment in most lists now, and these did the most damage it seems. Remember that artillery does more damage now (since it's more accurate), but is also more vul...

Re: RBTs get nerfed in 8e (HE or DE, all the same)

So, okay, RBT's get hit more easily, but they are also more effective in some ways.

Against other war machines, for the same reason why they are more vulnerable themselves (no more "ward save" for hitting the machine); against troops because screening is much less effective.

The unit gets steadfast regardless of whether or not they have extra ranks or not.
Plus no fear/terror autobreak, plus they can use the general's LD. Yes, stubborn got better.

Is it painted? I thought he said it was just assembled, and one unit poorly painted.

Anyway, seems like a very good deal! Good way to start HE's, enough core to start and the basics for an effective army.

You can give a L4 mage either an extra power dice or an extra spell, making him very close to a L5 mage I suppose. Not really, but close.

They need to boost infantry across the board but specifically core infantry. Elite infantry like phoenix guard and warriors of chaos/chosen are great and all, but unless they're built to be a points denial unit (huge numbers and relatively indestructible) they can't accomplish anything against a ca...

1- Dwarf heroes cost less than HE heroes by 15+ pts. Bad example; They have M3 and can't be mounted, so they're slow. At least HE heroes (and others) have a chance to strike where they want and to avoid what they don't want to fight. 2- Does anybody look at new Chaos heroes and lord? Their heroes h...

Fighters: naked, yes. With a simple great weapon and their ASF, no. Compared to others their price is about right, certainly not overpriced. Mages: perhaps a little.

One thing I've noticed in Warhammer is the lack of lance and bow cavalry. This was an extremely popular and effective combination historically. It would be nice to have the option of heavy armour (no barding perhaps), shield, lance and bow for Silver Helms. Especially as they are presumably partly ...
