Re: Moranions wayshard

AFAIK no one on Ulthuan has used the shard extensively. IMHO it is too random and comes at too high a price on a crappy unit to be useful competitively - why you probably haven't seen much evidence of it here. +1. Combination of random, matchup-dependent, expensive and poor unit synergy (honestly, ...

Re: Etc draft 3 - HEs kicked in the groin

The Book issue has many people confused: Draft 3 made the Book cost 1 choice regardless of wielder. However the proposed draft, which ended up being the one accepted, changed this to only having the Book cost 1 choice if taken by an Archmage. As Andros points out, the Book means the Loremaster can s...

Re: Etc draft 3 - HEs kicked in the groin

Good discussion. I'll weigh in later. I gave Teclis MSU a try back in January, Ian. I found it too dependent on Winds to work reliably. The frail nature of the configuration means that most games went heavily one way or the other depending on who got the best couple of first turns. I had a game vs O...

Luke is a solid player and he is very good at making lists that win big once things go his way. He's not UK no. 1 without a reason!

Re: Path To Glory - 2d6 Conquest All Games Up!

Because DoC are stupid. They ignore half the rules in the game and are strong enough not to care about the other half. They have next to no weaknesses and even their weak matchups frequently turn to minor losses/ties/even wins. Playing against a strong DoC player is like fighting an uphill battle fr...

Re: Path To Glory - 2d6 Conquest All Games Up!

Playing in a singles tournament this weekend. 3/5 done so far, went 8-12 vs DoC, 15-5 vs SK and 16-4 (capped) vs EMP. After our trip to Sheffield Slaughter quite a few of us became fans of the 16-4 cap system in play there so we've decided to start using it for our tournaments. That leaves me with 3...

Re: Olannon vs Gatti live on UB now!!

Game's on hold because Gatti had to go to work. Will finish later today. I can't reveal the lists unfortunately but the gist of it is multi-threat DoC vs brick HE and DoC are trying to get around the BOTWD-WL to smash stuff up. Thus far (bottom of T3) it hasn't worked out too well, though DoC have w...

Re: Crossroads GT - Anyone know?

While my stats are quite rusty, it seems to me that the Crossroads results tends to support the view that Draft 2.5.1 was almost right on for High Elves, too soft on Skaven and Warriors. If you don't account for meta bias and player skill, then yes, that would be a logical conclusion. Well how do y...

Re: Mals Blog- Colonial Carnage List analysis

I don't think originality has taken a nose dive with regards to High Elves in general. The current ETC comp however bans a huge number of builds that would have been interesting to try out. Personally I was looking at a couple of builds that I don't think anyone else (apart from the ones who I built...

Crossroads GT - Anyone know?

Rumour has it multiple High Elf lists placed highly at Crossroads this weekend, under the (now) outdated 2.5.1 draft.

Does anyone know what lists were played? :) I'm guessing the Book/Dragon variants which to my understanding have been big in the US scene.

I got it off Seredain. It also popped up in Larry Mottola's list for the US Masters. It was quite funny that in one of the preview shows none of the commentators (all strong players) knew what it did! :) ...which goes to show 2 things: "Strong player" is a relative term and the players in...

There's a saying which goes "show me yours and I'll show you mine". Furthermore the proof is on TWF. Factions and builds have been pointed out in all draft discussion threads. Daemons for example, which I think is an excellent case to start with seeing as they are super popular just about ...

Re: Etc draft 3 - HEs kicked in the groin

The Furion argument and US Masters argument is a strange one, seeing as neither builds are specifically targeted by the restrictions. True, Furion's list from last year is, as of now, illegal, but that is due to the hate on the bus, which by the AR.com is deemed too strong in a team environment. In ...
