Re: 2.5k Stag/Unicorn/Eternal Guard/Wild Riders/WTF is this

From PointedDoom; I love that you're making a list essentially just for the fun of it Couldn't agree more :nod: Yes, you can post costs, just not individual ones (per item etc), but totals are fine. Also the BSB loses their bow so you need to give them a magical one, Asyendi's is usual if you want ...

Re: Which of the 8 lores would you use?

True Shandrakor, I just didn't have time to go spell v spell (which I will do on the weekend, hopefully). I do think Shadow is a strong Lore, just reckon Beasts is better for us. With the exception of Flock, and it's not that bad as has been posted previously, I'll take any of the Beasts spells and ...

Re: Which of the 8 lores would you use?

Which would I use? I'm looking for the best synergy with my list, and I think that our biggest downfall is in CC, we just can't cut it with most enemy units apart from a couple of options, Treekin and the EG block. So I'm looking for either damage to the enemy before CC or augmenting my units so the...

Re: Having trouble with Undead

From Beithir; I don't really have much staying power.. No, but you're a lot faster now. The only change I might suggest is to give the Eagle Noble a GW and Stone of Rebirth instead. That way if you do lose the eagle he's still hopefully going to hang around for a while and hit a bit harder. You've s...

Sure do.

AoSS and mounted

I know I'm clutching at straws here, and in reality it would make little difference, BUT the AoSS is 2+ and cannot be improved by any means, but a cavalry model gets +1. Can I make an argument that being mounted does improve the AS to 1+ as it's not improving the "Armours" save but our nob...

Re: Army List while I paint

Agree with Mollesvinet on the bow and the other points.
Keep a couple of units at 12 and scrounge up enough points for 1 eagle and mount Ioreth on it, that will help with your fall back strategy (fast wing unit) as well as giving you something to assault any pesky war machines that appear.

Re: 2000p slightly competitive list

List looks good.
The only thing I'd tinker with is getting a scroll on your 'Weaver.
Maybe drop the 'Bowman from the larger GG unit ( it's only +1 BS) and the Wind Rider from the Warhawks which frees up 26 points for the scroll.
Have fun :)

Aemirs list looks good for what you've got, though I'd consider a Spellsinger instead of one of the Branchwraiths. From Jameseat3 10 dryads is great but put a champion in with ten, eight is just canon fodder. 6 treekin need a champion. The Branchwraith could go in there if that's what you're looking...

Re: 2000 Competitive (?)

One thing I've always wondered about this eagle Noble build. What does the guy do about magical attacks in close combat that aren't Flaming?
That's always been my issue as well so I use either Stone of Rebirth or SoCM if you want to help the Eagle as well.

Re: Experimental character builds

From MakoBoy;
Does the Highborn have to take the Eternal Kindred to join them?
No he doesn't, and you don't want him to be as per the kindred rules and the FAQ, regardless of how he is armed/armoured he uses the EG Fighting Style special rule.
