Not all tournaments allow Charmed Shield use with a 2h weapon in close combat. Better check with the TO

List looks fine for a beginning player. Got some good variety in there! Prince's kit is unusual but definitely okay. The list overall could certainly be improved, but it's a good start if you have those models all painted up and good to go. Star dragon is such a powerful entity that you'll find he'l...

There's been discussion of this in other threads. Check the tournament FAQ thread, for example. Almost everyone agrees that a model with two copies of ASF and one copy of ASL will strike at its initiative.

US masters 2014 rules this way.

Can't really find any major fault with this list. Make sure you keep your Archmage's deployment flexible; there might be games where he makes more sense in the Archers. I'd probably choose High over Shadow for this list. I think shadow is better with shooting. WBW will be awesome with your PG, helms...

2500 vs O&G Fandex Had a practice game using the list above against my friend's Orcs & Goblins. He was using some modified rules we've been working together on. The lists, roughly: (622 Lords) Prince - barded steed, dragon armor, Ench. shield, Giant blade, Dawnstone, OTS: 292 Loremaster - P...

Thanks!

I asked because I was not sure a unit of trolls could be considered to contain "single models." Rather, it's just a unit. Can you target a unit of Trolls with Spirit Leech?

This comes up often when playing with Lore of the Vampires, and units like Crypt Horrors.

Kitbashed a mounted BSB for my new army list. This guy is gonna be fun to paint I hope. http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab273/Nicholas_Blanton/Mobile%20Uploads/20141014_012606_zpskjqam2wi.jpg http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab273/Nicholas_Blanton/Mobile%20Uploads/20141014_012645_zpszblndan8.jpg

I believe my MSU games taught me to really appreciate the fun (and power) of units working together. So this more traditional list (though definitely with my own style built in!) still focuses on units that support each other--the skycutters and phoenix support the two heavy combat units, while the ...

Mighty Empires escalation league! Hello all, we've started a Mighty Empires campaign, with a few rules adjustments. Let's see if I can outline them: 1. No "events" like raiding, double-or-nothing, etc. 2.The only way to score a massacre (5 points) is to completely wipe out the enemy army....

So the attribute works on trolls when they have taken 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 wounds, but not on trolls who taken 3, 6, or 9 wounds? This seems a little strange.

So let's say there is a unit of four trolls, which had lost exactly 3 wounds (meaning exactly one troll has been removed). Are you saying that Lifebloom can be used to restore a wound to that unit? Would you add the fourth troll back to the unit, and note that the unit has two wounds floating on it?

Threadromancy!

Can lifebloom be used to restore wounds to multi-wound models in a unit? Like Trolls, for example. Similarly, can the Vampire lore attribute restore wounds to Crypt Horrors?

This is really helpful; thanks. I didn't realize the BRB faq addressed this issue as well!

Can the center of a unit shift during a combat reform?

What are some good examples of legal and illegal combat reforms? I just don't understand how they're supposed to work.

Yes, this is open to interpretation. Respectable tournaments rule it different ways, so it's something you'll have to house rule.

My group plays that each part of the model tests on its own stat.

Is That Armor finished? I think it could use more darker shading/rust/shadow/paint splotches or something.

Could just be the light!

Humans
Undead
Dwarves
High Elves
Chaos
Greenskins

Does ETC rule FOR thunderstorms as magical attacks?

That unit puts out 50 str6 attacks.

For that point cost, you could have 4 units of 40 Lions, for 160 str6 attacks.

I once charged a dragon mage into a summoned unit of zombies about 20 strong. Lost both rider and dragon over about 4 rounds of combat. Mind you, this was the old book so he had a 6+ armor save, and the dragon had only a 5+. Now it's very easy to get 2+ for the mage and 3+ for the dragon. And the br...

I agree that each part of the model (rider and monster) takes its own test, but it's good to note that the rule is vague and open to interpretation. I believe many respectable players/tournaments rule that the entire model takes a single test using the highest toughness value present. I presume any ...

Final Transmutation, Purple Sun, Pit of Shades, and Dwellers are all great, I would think.

What about searing doom? Spirit leech?

Well, assume you were forced to take the unit. What else would you include? Here's a list I just thought up: "Ulthuan Infantry" -- 2500 points: Anointed (general) ~260 Loremaster ~330 Foot BSB ~150 40 Lions ~600 24 PG ~430 40 Spears ~400 5 Helms ~125 5 Reavers ~100 1 Eagle ~50 1 Eagle ~50 ...

How would you build a list around this unit? Including commmand and BotWD you're looking at exactly 600 points, which is around the same investment as a Star Dragon. I'm thinking you'd want some other durable combat units, who don't need to get into combat quickly. Also some ways to control the move...

You are painting really fast! Thanks for the pictures

Thanks for the report! I think LSH in lions is a very intriguing idea.

Why did you charge the Phoenix with your Noble? It doesn't add up to me--hitting on 4, wounding on 4, ward save. You're unlikely to wound it even with the star lance. It seems like a hopeless charge... but your opponent decided to flee, so what am I missing? Even if you beat it by one, he's looking ...

Is that airbrush on the phoenix?
