so I was poking around mantics site , and noticed the forest shambler models , which would make great treekin or 9th age thicket beasts . The price is good , but i would have to order them in sight unseen as my local gaming store does not stock kings of war stuff. http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-s...

so I have always liked the idea of a mage on a unicorn but there has always been 2 problems , 1 in 8th a mage on a unicorn could not get protection from LOS and was thus a sitting duck , 2 a mage on a unicorn was not a model that was easy to find . now in 9th age a mage on a unicorn can join a group...

I am waiting to see what 9th age brings , I think once that gets firmly established and people accept it as the standard rules set for fantasy things will pick up . there is alot to like about it , but it is a little unrefined at the moment . there background and fluff needs to be flushed out more b...

Adjectives: Neutral, Natural, Skirmishers, archers, Xenophobic characters : I like the twins , i don't like orion or the whole sacrifice crap thing that goes along with him . What is your least favourite thing about the fluff for your faction, or the thing you would be most happy to lose? can't stan...

I've registered and plan on discussing some of the changes. Lots of good things and then some bad ones too. Here are some of the changes to WEs: Treekin S5 Dryads can skirmish for free Ambush is optional And then there are a few I don't agree with but might be ok when joined together with the other...

the one hope i have in this is the whole free rules thing . maybe they will release 8th as an open gamming lisence to allow it to exist , now that they are not supporting it , or even put it up for free on there site .
that would keep their old customers happy and still allow them to support AOS

just checking the GW Canada site and noticed all the army books are gone .

so is the goal to not use any cavalry ? or just not max out on it ? There is a big difference , and do flying units count as Cav for the purposes of this list ? a unit or 2 of eternal guard as an anvil unit parked in a wood should be good . then for the hammer ; wild riders or if you don't want any ...

I watched Anthony's vid and was disappointed . and i disagree with him that it is breaking any social contract . I like his battle reports but he can be very negative . I think the main problem he is running into is that most wood elf players will be veteran players very familiar with the shoot and ...

I am going to take the opposite view and advocate in favor of comp . Further I am going to go so far as to say that I think GW should release an official comp adjustment every year , call it something fluffy like the tide of battle . It would keep armies from getting stale , and i think keep players...

so the great eagle stayed essentially the same as in the last book with one change . unit size 1+ we can now take a hoard of 18 great eagles or more . it would be expensive but would be something to consider . with fly the march of 20 inches , jumping over obstacles , you could with little difficult...

interesting points , I had not considered them before . buffs on large blocks are more efficient , and the extra bows in the 1st turn or 2 could be critical .

nice trick with the dryads and the branch wraiths I had never thought of that

Ok so i have the book , and i think it is awesome , I can't wait to try it out on the table top . I do have a few questions or observations , these come from reading the responses to the new book and the changes to it . I get the impression when reading reviews of the book in general and units speci...

I got the book last night , and i have to say i am quite pleased . it is a solid book so far . There are alot of little hidden bits and pieces that i think will make wood elves a top tire army .

I can't see any data slate add ons. I'm pretty sure any 40k slates haven't involved new models. Even GW wouldn't expect us to carry around an army book and a bundle of extra rules on top. Wasn't that lawsuit ages ago? Sorry I'm sketchy on the details. I have no inside knowledge just personal opinio...

I think we will be fine , i think you need to view the new dwarf book as being the 2nd new codex released post lawsuit . as you may or not be aware GW lost a lawsuit against some 3rd party bits manufacturer . essentially what happened was that they were told tit you don't have a model for a unit or ...

i would not put a lot of stock in that rumor . If for no other reason than the latest hobbet movie . the thing is a 2 hour commercial about dewarves and wood elves . half way through the movie i wanted to go home and paint wood elves . it would not surprise me to see them kill fine cast , and i say ...

Dwarves and wood elves make sense , they may get a bump from the new hobbit movie , the wood elves in the movie are very similar to our wood elves , . I remember watching it thinking , i have to go home and paint my wood elves .

i have to agree with the people saying that it is irritating to play against someone using an ebook codex . I really dislike them .

i would guess we get 4 new kits likely a treeman kit with options for TM ancient or a treeman character . and chances are good tree kin . in a new box kit . then I would bet on 2 new unit boxes , some flashy big thing and something in the special slot . I could see a griffin or hieroglyph cavalry ty...

yeah even if you dropped the additional 200 army points and the 10% less kill point bit , the rest would really add a lot to our competitiveness .

I heard from a friend of mine who wants to play brettonia soon but will wait for the update and he said he heard a rumour that the wood elves and bret would be updated in 9th and they would become the starter set for the edition? any stock in this or blatant lie? I don't know that i would put alot ...

I like your army , what model line is the tree man from , I gather the female noble with a bow is a reaper model , do you know the model # for that model ?

I was thinking of attending my provincial GW tournament "storm the coast "that is usually run along side Halcon , a scifi and comic convention . I have been planning to attend the last few years but work always gets in the way . This year I wend to download the rules and discovered it is n...
