Re: 2500 more Core than Special

I had another game with it tonight and i'll just say a few things about the battle rather than do a whole report up. I versed a Dwarf guy and it was a much tougher match up than the Lizard one I had last Friday. He had a Horde of 40 warriors, 20 Hammerers, anvil, 2 BT, Organ, Grudge, Lord in hammere...

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

Thanks for explaining all your choices, I appreciate that :) I really like the look of both those cavalry hammers, it would look great on the battlefield aswell! I'd almost be tempted to drop the Repeater for more SM's as they could do with a few more though I see where your coming from regarding th...

Re: "Asur versus Druchii 2500" or "Grudge Fight versus a Jerk"

I really enjoyed reading this report, and good job with keeping your cool against such an infuriating opponent. It seems your opponent hasn't grasped the fact that to earn points you have to kill things outright.

Well Done =D>

Re: 2500 against Lizards

Thanks Tiralya, I really enjoyed using this list and can't wait for my next battle with it, it will be interesting when I get a chance to verse this guy who uses a full on combat WoC army. The only change I've been thinking about is maybe swapping GP for AoL for those magical attacks which can be cr...

Ok so I had a game tonight and from requests after I posted up my list earlier in the week I will write a report up. I must apologize beforehand as I didn’t take any pictures so I’ll try to make things as clear as possible. I came up against a Lizardmen army, but my opponent has only had a few games...

HE and Skaven for me. Between everyone else at my LGS that are regulars we have another HE, another Skaven, 2 Dwarves, 2 Lizards, 1 TK, 1 DE, 2 WoC, 3 OnG, 1 Empire.

Very unlucky on Day 2, I'm surprised though considering how many people were there that the level of painting was dissapointing, is there no points given to painting?

Sure thing, after my first game i'll post up a battle report.

hewhorocks, that is an idea, having that extra Archer unit could be very handy for all the fast cav and scouts I come up against. Great also for things like mangler squigs.

Re: 2500 more Core than Special

Not sure who I'll come up against yet, but yea i'm wary of solid lists from Lizards, WoC and Dwarfs. But it will be fun to use I reckon :)

Tiralya, I thought about that, or even adding a Radient Gem Noble but opted for more bodies instead thinking they will be more valuable in the long run.

I've finished painting more Spearelves so I've written up a new list including all the Spearelves I have. I've tried something different to the norm and have more Core than Special, our Citizen Levy doesn't get a good rap so I want to change my opponents perspective on what our Core can do. Archmage...

Re: ANZAC Day bash 1/2 - HE vs Dwarfs 2k

Well done to pick it back up after the bad start, and that was very wise to not charge in on turn 6 as the possible gain wouldn't of been as good as the possible loss would've been (losing Silver Helms and BSB)

In this game Dwellers just wasn't meant to be!

Could there be something more useful instead of the Lvl 1 or is having metal and a scroll to important? And well done on those victori...

Re: Those Fantastic Brilliant Spearmen....

At 2500 I run 1 block of 40 Spears(8x5) but after I finish painting up more of them I'm gonna start trying out 2 blocks of 40. When your versing opponents like Skaven and OnG the numbers spears provide are very handy. They make great support units aswell for our elites, plus i'm a Skaven player aswe...

Re: Lion Chariot

I try to use my LC's purely for support for my block troops. For example, if I take 2 LC's I'll allocate each one a unit for it to support that game, this can of course change during the course of the game. I've found they can't really take units on by themselves in the front unless its light units....

Well I must admit i'm surprised how you massacred WoC, what type of list did he have?

With your list, I'm not really a fan of the small units, especially those 5 man WL units.
Against horde armies I can really see this list struggling.

But well done on the win :)

Re: From which province does your Army/Character hail?

Chose Saphery, since it's my favourite part of Ulthuan, and I plan to use a RGoH Prince in a block of Swordies when I get more SM's painted up.

Nagarythe would of been my second choice as i'm a fan of Shadow Armour Prince with SW's.
