Yes! Thank you for reminding me, will send it to you now!

As the author, I believe I do! It would be at home on my other computer though, which I can only get to in the weekend. If you don't mind waiting, I'll send it to you then.

I'm sorry guys (and girls)! I am working on the "tactica", but I'm also in the middle of exams, and yes, at university here in Belgium that lasts for over a month. And then there's still the pre-exam period in which there isn't much free time which lasts maybe 2 weeks. So, my apologies if ...

I don't really buy the whole "only a 12 inch bubble is useless when you are playing MSU" argument. If your BSB is consistently out of range when you are needing to make tests then you are doing something wrong. First of all, a BSB is definitely never "useless", but you can't den...

Unlike most people here, I don't use a BSB. I used to always run one for the first year or so of playing Wood Elves with the last book, but then decided to run without one and I haven't looked back. A BSB definitely helps with all kinds of Ld tests but I see them as having two major downsides: Limit...

Added to The LEAF . Nice job, brechttomme :-) Thank you very much! I'm positive it will be useful to many Asrai. In your conclusions, you note Ogres as being Forces of Destruction, which they are not (they are unaligned). Ah, right, that was a mistake. Ogres just seem kind of destructive to me... :...

Both? :paranoid: Great Eagles are so amazing, it's indescribable. If I could take 4 of them, I would do so in every army. Alas, I can't, but I'm happy with 2 Eagles and 3 WHR instead. If you can only take one of both, then I'd suggest taking a look at the rest of your army. GE and WHR generally have...

The Eagles were great assistance, [...] flying ahead of the Wild Riders to control their overrun move and stop them sprinting straight into a counter-charge. This made me think of another use for Eagles and WHR. Could you just fly them ahead of WR to make sure they can't charge an enemy due to Fren...

Is there a way though to not show Unsaved Wounds, but the probability that you get at least 1 unsaved wound? (It shouldn't be able to go above 1 even if you have multiple shots (100). Even though the chance is very slim to miss all 100 shots, given enough trials you could miss them all; probabiliti...

I actually don't think that's correct. Now, maybe you shouldn't trust me all that much as I did fail the course last year, but here is my explanation: The first part: HitRoll: 3+ WoundRoll: 4+ ArmorRoll: 5+ WardRoll: 6+ For the HitRoll of 3+ I modified it to 4+ so there is a 0.5 chance to hit. For t...

First off, this is pretty cool! I've done a similar thing (http://asrai.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=26375), but it's a lot more unwieldy as it's literally just a chart showing everything at the same time, while you've made it filterable/sortable and everything. Well done! if someone has a 1+ AS, ev...

Regarding Characters, do they usually operate as their own, independent units, to fill in a role/assignment? Aha! The next paragraph (called U for Units, the previous one was S for Small): "This is an important principle, that many players don’t fully realise (especially people new to the hobb...

You're making me want to write an MSU tactica :-) No, no, noo! I'm writing one as we speak. It'll take some time because of my exams, but it contains all of the content from Joey_Boy's MSU guide for the previous book as well as Swordmaster of Hoeth's MSU guide over on Ulthuan.net, with some of my o...

I too am a huge fan of the MSU avoidance/board control lists. I think the way our army plays is just a little different now, but I can see Wardancers as the best substitute. They are insanely cheap (cheaper even than the 96 point units of Dryads we used to have) and have Skirmish to retain the movem...

Actually there's a FAQ for the BRB stating that a natural one always fails for wounding aswell. So no auto-wounding sadly :( Thanks a lot for this, I didn't know about that. If anyone else realises I've made a similar mistake, please tell me! Alright, another major update has been done. There are n...

It's really too bad that doesn't actually work though. ;) BRB p.503, under Razor Standard: "MODELS in a unit with the Razor Standard have the Armour Piercing special rule." BRB p.67, under Armour Piercing: "Wounds caused in CLOSE COMBAT by a MODEL with this special rule (or who is att...

Welcome to the forest! :D The BS stat is actually used?? A little bit of an understatement there, huh? :p #FeartheDeer Hahaha! :drool: My lawyer told me to stop answering that question online. :paranoid: ;) I'm allergic to emoticons. *achoo* Notice how I'm totally not using any :thumbsup:. Most defi...

I know I'm posting twice in a row now, but I thought this would be better in a separate post as it concerns a new change. I've been made aware that it would be nice to factor in point costs, to make a better comparison. The reason for this is that, for example, if in a certain situation it is stated...

The problem is that it's very limited, They only have results for T3 and T4, and -1 and -2 To Hit. I'm sure you will be targeting units outside of that range quite often. It's also not like the trends always repeat. What I can do, though, is factor in the point costs in my spreadsheet to more accura...

Oh wow, looks like you guys did it! I saw someone type HoDA, and it was underlined and everything!

Now that I think of it, my HoDA above will probably have the same, and this one! HoDa, HoDa, HoDA, HoDA!

Now that the book is out, it seems I won't be leaning towards Metal anymore. We have plenty of ways to deal with armour now. I will definitely be going with Heavens for the first few games. With cheap casting values, I feel like it's such an underused lore with great potential: 0) Iceshard Blizzard:...

Really? I mean, not that this isn't good, but the thread I made for this seems just a little more elaborate: http://asrai.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=26375 (God, that sounds so arrogant :paranoid: ) I guess what they did is useful considering that they took point costs into account, so you can comp...

The Shield of Ptolos for a 1+ Armour Save against shooting could actually be pretty good if you intend to run him as a lone Character. As he is so mobile, he can avoid combat, survive pot shots and follow around enemy Wizards to snipe them. Additionally, if needed, he can sacrifice himself for the g...

The only real line of text from the BRB we need for the Ambushers question, is on p.79: "A unit with the Ambushers rule does not deploy at the start of the battle" brechttomme: just checked the rules on character deployment and the vanguard and scout rules and they seem to conflict: "...

I don't think it works that way. During deployment, you place units and only once those are all put down (except units with special deployment), you place Characters. Thus, Characters join units after the units have already been deployed. As Glade Riders fall under that "except units with speci...
