Refreshing looking rules. I like the idea and I will investigate further. As per high elf stats, I would think perhaps a higher clash lesser sustained?

Couldn't agree more.

Brothers, our cousin's are among us.

At least we are cheaper now

Yeah, use things that dont lose ASF, Helms, DP's, PG, even our spears etc, magic is where its going to hurt, but BoTWD will protect a deathstar.

I don't know, Id run a maneuverable, shooty army and rely less on the elites in CC if I could, and use what still has ASF or impact hits vs the 7th. Magic would definitely be a problem, but eagles as re directors is not going to help vs out flying elements. Still, I hardly play, my thoughts are gene...

I would like that

Oh for sure 8th edition. 28 Swordmasters with Annointed, a Mage, and banner of the world dragon (had insane luck with this against WoC yesterday, 2+ against spells and at least a 4+ ward every turn is something that many players overlook) 30 Phoenix Guard with an Archmage; giving the whole unit a 3...

Great report, very informative and enjoyed the fluffy elements immensely too.

Very action packed, they don't go like that every day!

Wouldn't be too cocky their chief, the 8th lists are looking pretty tidy, S4 Swordmasters and S5 lions get pretty chewed up pretty nicely, new BoTWD can make ol Teclis be a little quiet, and our new speed would cause a hell of a lot of headaches. Our shooting is a lot better than it was. I would lov...

Just had an idea, after seeing a couple of UB reports with members here, we've seen a couple of HE on HE battles, perhaps for arguments sake we could have a battle with a person using the old book vs the current one and see how it pans out.

Bit of a non issue really as long as you tell them what it is at the start, dont you think?

At least an extra handweapon would have been welcomed... oh well. Hopefully shades get sodomised.

Hey, nice bat rep dude, I like how you have a turns movement on one image, imo, makes the game look more fluid

Dark Eldar and Eldar arent as...hatey to each other as DE/HE, correct?

When you say add them to your Dark Eldar, are you talking about converting them or something more in line with what I mentioned above?

A lot of my old battles were against my former brother in law (we dont talk anymore, but hes an asshole anyhow lol) and it would usually involve some SMS banter beforehand, ie: Next friday, come down for a game. Okay NP. And the next few texts being some fluff that we would make up about the upcomin...

Many people like to create fluff for their armies, do your heroes have plot armour, or are you happy to kill them off to prolong a moving story. I used to kill them off when I played, I haven't played a game in probably 2 years +. If any of you do, I'd like to hear the fluffy feats and defeats of yo...

Bravisimo!
Very well done!

Except with the new-found speed our army now has, your two phases of shutting down magic will serve well enough, but by then the mobile Asur should have units engaging War Machines, and many units still intact preparing to take the fight to the, in signature fashion, castled up stinking Dawi. From h...

I have a slight feeling that we are on the end of 8th edition where books are, perhaps written with 9th in mind, so the unusual DP Banner allowance may be purposely as is.

I sincerely hope shooting is revised in 9th.

"Teclis will wield even moar powah!" This was one that had Lizardmen players slightly excited too, with our Magic set to be phenomenal and Teclis being rumored to be even more powerful than in 7th, there was speculation of how badass Slann may be, what we have witnessed may (or may not) gi...

BoLG would be fitting for a Shadow Walker getting all frenzied stabbing the foe mercilessly

This is actually a tough question, because I agree that he is technically right, but there is a way for the Abomination to be granted +1 Str by misfunctioning (Yes, when Skaven misfunction they get stronger ), and the Skaven FAQ ruled that if this happens, the Abomination's special attacks also inc...

Moving on to another one. Shadow Warriors. 2 hand weapons, some sort of special combat rule, but alas, the "special forces" come up rather short, although scouting etc is good I do feel pretty sad to see them in a fairly similar state to where we saw them last. People talk alot about BS5, ...

By now we are all pretty well acquainted with what we will be working with for the next few years, and much of the rumor mill was right on the money, however, some of what we thought were 'given' rumors just never came through, I thought I would open this discussion as a kind of post hype discussion...

Yep. Looks pretty good, I like the fact that our army works more in a way where each element has to complement one another to do well.

And then I jizzed in my pants.

Man. Love the rust, it just tells it how it is. These crafts been sitting dormant, and now they have awoken to kill you. Looks amazing, very impressive!!

Tyrion, Teclis, Eltharion, Eldyra of Tiranoc, Ystranna of Averlorn, and Belanner of Hoeth, incase you were wondering. Long story short it appears Mannfred has imprisoned the princess inside Nagashizzar, so they head there, fight their way inside at great cost, some mentions of the twins doing what ...

Sounds like an awesome application!

Just on the shield of Saphery, I more of a passive thing IMO, its protecting the Mages overall, meaning there is less chance of your Mage being killed by the end of the game allowing you to keep VP's and also keep on casting throughout the entire battle.
