Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports

. The Seaguard are my second secret tech in this ranged war. Whilst the sisters dance at range, the seaguard move up into the mid-board. If my opponent ignores them in favour of chasing after the sisters, they bring themselves into the seaguard's close range. If they shoot the seaguard, however, su...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports

Example of list for 1500point? Hi WhiteSword, In truth I haven't thought about 1500 at all. If I may I'll restrict myself to reiterating a general principle, being that it is usually better to do something well or else not bother investing in it. You don't want a "bit of everything" only ...

Hey Seredain, one topic I mentioned, you missed commenting on I think - or maybe I am just blind going up to the weekend: The only thing that's left is Magic. So: Loremasters Cloak instead of Ruby Ring? or are the avg. 7 hits S4 hits/turn too juicy to pass up? or Ruby Ring +1 Lodestone? There are s...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports

You pose a great question. I mean Holy Cow! The rubber really hits the road with that army of yours. For the moment it's a purely theoretical army 8) I drew it up as a thought experiment to see what you could face at 2500pts. Mainly because people mentioned that going higher in points meant fewer m...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports

One thing I have been wondering about in the discussion about 2500pts, is that it also allows some nasty stuff to be brought along. You could go with a double star dragon list that includes 4 monsters and a bunch of hard hitting cavalry units. Something like ++ Characters [1247 pts] ++ Prince [491 ...

Master,

I am loving your paintwork. It's absolutely splendid.

Ogres had a bit of a hoodoo on me in 8th Ed. Enough that I began to develop an irrational dislike for the models. But these are so nice that I don't even think I'd mind watching them pound my silver helms to bits.

Bravo!

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

My point was that frankly the monsters are just so much better than any infantry unit, or even cavalry unit. At the moment in any Old World competitive list it's very hard to look beyond maxing characters on flying monsters. Infantry and more conventional armies (which I'll probably take to a tourn...

Late to the party. The list logic tracks.

I'm still very wary of Impetuous and the traps that someone could set, prima...

Sparky this is a great list! It looks like a lot of fun to play. You may find that your helms make a good screen for the swordmasters, too, against shooting lists. More robust than reavers. Against armies that outshoot you that'll be clutch! A lion chariot is a nice unit to slot between the cavalry ...
