Re: First ever 1000pts! help?!

One Hero in 1000 points is generally considered best in 1000 points, and a 1331 point mounted noble with HoDA is probably the best.

The points saved would allow you to buy one more small unit, perhaps giving you 2 x 6 WD (as I field in this type of army).

Re: Negating ranks

The 'best' rank negater is 1 x 5+ WR in the flank or rear. Other units, such as GR or even GG can do it, but are very squishy.. Dryads/WD in the front, WR in the flank/rear will see of an awful lot of units.

Re: Wandering Warfeast - 1250 for Tourney

I think it would be more helpful if you posted the complete planned army progression so that we can see your future intentions. You have used all your specials and your rare so have only core available for 1750. Is that wise?

Re: Help with a custom scenario

Any idea on what sort of army the enemy will use? I assume that you will get your 'free' wood. Killing the cannon in two moves is comparatively easy, perhaps one turn with the Spirit Sword carried by a Lord on a Dragon :D The problem will be getting there. I'd consider about 100 GG. If his best armo...

I have also found old Skaven special characters Skrolk, Ikit Claw, Queek, and Snikch, doomwheel and verminlord, the DOW Witch Hunters van Hal and Hasburg, DOW Generals, Tullaris, Rakarth.

Re: Help with a custom scenario

Are you limited by the number and type of models you can field?

Is the cannon places semi-randomly, or could your opponent elect to be sneaky and place it behind a building or ibhind difficult terrain in the corner of the table?

It isn't that much, but your WR have Magic Resistance and 1000 point WE armies tend to rely on AMD. (Kill the Mage!) I use Noble with la, s, spear, HotH, HoDA on GE 2 x 12 GG 2 x 5 GR, mus 2 x 3 WHR 1 GE It 1000 points and my opponent's mages do not live long, if I put my mind to it. An all-cavalry ...

Re: mobile 1000pts list

Few units of any sort can stand a charge of 6 WR with the Warbanner if hit in the flank and unis of US 11 or less are often breaking automatically. That is one of my favorite unit configurations; use the other WR to occupy the front, ot beeter still force a charge against the GR and a counter-charge...

Re: mobile 1000pts list

I think you need some infantry. If I saw that army, I'd be choosing buildings for terrain and would be spending the rest of the time shooting and blowing the raspberry. In general, I think two heroes is one too many in 1000 points. I'd go with a single mounted noble, WR kindred if you must. Use the ...

Re: AMA is Reborn

I already have the board game; rather old and tattered and not used for nearly ten years. I have an Undead/Vampire team; love Mummies.

Seems like you think the PC version is OK. I'll see if I can find it.

Re: Three Way Elf battle-Advice wanted

I played 3 x 1000 vs 3000. The two Blodthirsters alone practically won the battle. 9 Heroes (possibly) may not make up for two lords (on dragons, say)

My experience is that three-sided battles are rarely fun; there is too muct 2 0n 1.

Foot note.

The follow-up was cancelled because I was deemed too 'traditional' Too old, white, straight, male. I need to be at least not two of those four things.

There were a couple of newspaper interviews on the CSI course I run. They turned out very well.
