The Forgeworld Emperor (and Chaos) Dragon rules.

Items: Heavy Armour that gives -2 to hit with missiles Talisman of lycani wristbands of black gold(3+ ward against all ranged attacks) Maybe a power stone powers: Master of the black arts Forbidden lore Master of the dead The non-combative vampire seems to be the popular choice at the moment, as th...

You'll often find that the counter-argument is to be to reference the Beasts of Chaos FAQ; more specifically, the Rune of the True Beast. Q. Does the Rune of the True Beast affect monstrous characters? (i.e. Treeman Ancients, Greater Daemons, & Shaggoth Champions) A. No, they are characters. Not...

On the whole, we don't like up-and-rising people acting cool expecting to succeed from our fawning admiration. This is exasperated if they are foreign. Even more so if they are American.

They are a fun army. Of course, most of this joy is derived from the amount of destruction you bring to your own army through your own haphazard magic and nefarious shooting as you bring to your enemy. Be prepared to throw away dozens of slaves a turn; march them mercilessly towards your enemy and c...

Couple of special characters.

Close up of the warriors.

Very interesting. Those new miniatures seem very... Oldschool? They seem to have a style about them which reminds me a lot of older GW miniature lines. I look forward to seeing closer detail shots, or shots of sprues/bitz. Agreed. That seemed to be the direction they took with the Daemons plastics,...

I think they'd end up to much like HE chariots. They'd need a specia rule to set them aprt as fast and agile. Possibly let them march, but no AS or something like that. Tomb King Light Chariots move like fast cavalry, and coincidentally share the weaknesses similar to that of fast cavalry suffer in...

Like Tomb King chariots in design, but individual rather than as a unit? I would not be sure how much they would bring to an Asrai list. The Tomb Kings have them as mobile heavy hitters [to make up for the dire 'heavy' cavalry], which Wood Elves have in spades. I could imagine struggling to justify ...

Memories of Final Liberation flooding back...

1800's England.

You have to know everything in existence. It's pretty tricky and took me a while, but I managed it.

Waywatcher character with Blight of Terrors? Skirmishing Skaven do not benefit from the 'Strength in Numbers' special rule and as such will have a basic leadership of 6 if within range of the Grey Seer. This terrible leadership should be the downfall of at least a few of these skirmishing Jezzail te...

Still really nice. Cheers for updating.

Well, the most cynical among us could draw the lines of coincidence between the gradual increase in profits and the gradual 'codex creep' we seem to be experiencing. Amazing armies could lead to amazing sales - and the amount of VC, Daemon and Druchii players running around would seem to support that.

As some of you may know, GW had a bit of a tricky year last year in regards to financial loss. However, as of June 1st GW are back in profit! http://www.sharecast.com/cgi-bin/sharecast/story.cgi?story_id=2244474 As you can read, the profit generated this year still doesn't come near to equalling out...

The Warriors of Chaos 'get-you-by' list really wouldn't reflect that.

I think the magic word here is 'wielder' rather than 'sword'. I only have my Vamps book to hand, so I'll use the the Blood Drinker sword as an example. The magic description for the Blood Drinker specifies that it is only wounds caused by the sword that activate it's effects (restoring wounds if you...

Facebook is always a nice alternative to suck up your time when you should really be doing something else. In my case this is namely university work, although I have heard such craziness as 'facebook breaks' that some employers have to comply to after there was a bit of a union uproar over sites suc...

About time

What I am most nervous about when I am fielding my Counts is that my opponent will focus on destroying one unit for that turn. VC can now raise something back in every unit, but can only summon fresh zombies. So focus on destroying one unit of skeletons/black knights/wraiths/etc for that turn, so th...

Sounds exactly like the ridiculous Bloodthirster armour question I was a part of. I would hope that the same logic and reasoning outweighs good hopes and subjective interpretation again.

Harlequin solitaire.

Might be a little too good.

It will be interesting to see what the asrai boys make of this. There are members on this site that are far better equipped to say anything about rules interpretation than I am, whether it turns out my thinking was wrong or right.
