Re: 9th Age

So, without any further words, I'm presenting you Beta Version of 9th Age and Sylvan Elves. As a disclaimer I'm copying to yo...

Re: Any more Asrai left in these woods?

I can't imagine 9th Age will ever be more than a really niche thing. The rules seem fine, but with the lack of influx of new players over time, all that I can see is a continually dwindling fan base.

Adapting the Asrai to Kings of War

I'd like to get a discussion started regarding this.

Combos and strategies that you've been trying out? Particular units that work well together?

Eternal Guard Fortess of Boughs

The rule states that you get +1 to hit/wound/armor saves as long as you don't move. My question, does this apply to the "pile in?" The text states that during the combat phase you can make "a pile in move ." I'm guessing you can't. though... as pile in occurs immediately before a...

Re: Wild Riders

Putting the 2nd rank in a new unit that can 1. charge the same target and get the charge bonus for all attacks 2. charge another target if needed 3. charge the same unit in the flank if still pinned by the first unit That makes loosing a few attacks not as bad as you portray it.

Re: Wild Riders

How would you use a largish unit of wild riders? You do lose attacks from the second rank. Do the extra wounds help? I'd rather have two redundant riders (only contributing a couple extra attacks) than be missing the potential attacks because I lost two or three WRs from BS shooting or a magic miss...

Just want to say, I ran a spellweaver on unicorn with HIgh magic in the recent UPGT and she was the only model in my army that did not die once in all 5 games. Never got more than 2 wound counters on her at any given time, but that was really all she ever needed. 4 out of 5 games, there were 2 or m...

He'd be fairly squishy on foot. I'd recommend keeping him in the Sisters bunker and put them near enough the WWRs for rerolls. M...

Re: 2015 U.S. Master's Wood Elf Army Lists

I recently played with a Swedish list at Onslaught. It really changes things up.

All of the Masters lists look solid. I like your inclusion of the Metal mage, Rhuell. Are the branch wraiths primarily to try to get Dwellers and also as redirectors?

Of course it's nice to pick targets.. and all things being equal I'd prefer that too.. but since hagbane's do more to WAY MORE damage it can be nice to factor in raw damage too. Agreed.

I mainly play with trueflight arrows, at least on glade guard. My reasoning is: Trueflight does okay against high toughness, although not as well as hagbane. Hagbane does awfully against stacked modifiers, much worse than trueflight. By taking trueflight i feel that i get the best of both worlds. I...

I spam mostly True Flight now. However, when I first started playing with the new army book, I tried hagbane alone, and a mix of Hagbane and True Flight. Wasn't ever satisfied with those builds. The thing about Mathhammer is that ideal shooting conditions are the exception rather than the rule. My o...
