Re: 9th age Woodies are out! Lets discuss!

Since 9th hasn't introduced special characters yet I've been looking for an Elk Prince wth a suitable build to Proxy for Orion. This is what I've came up with; Wild Hunter Forest Prince with LA, Cloak, Hardened Shield, Ogre Blade and Talisman of Supreme shielding. 6 Str 7 with T5 2+/5++ on the charg...

Re: 9th age Woodies are out! Lets discuss!

Just wanted to help restart the discussion here, I've been playing ninth age for a long while now and it's so much more fun than 8th ever was. I recently used an all tree list, and it worked! If a forest spirit is the general it means that Dryads can take command groups, so I've used the new tree re...

AoS 60 Wound limit

I am going to give it a go. Despite my initial hatred, after playing a few more AoS games the synergy between themed lists (Grimgor and his Black Orcs, Sylvanaeth and their woods) have encouraged me to have a look at my local GW's AoS campaign. It's starting off at 60 wounds with the following restr...

9th Age

My friends have been getting rather excited about this 9th edition Fan-Fix. It definitely seems to be on the right track, i especially like it's changes to the Magic System which punishes bigger spells and makes a level 4 non-compulsory. The balance changes also mostly seem fine and they will eventu...

Re: So, Stormcast Eternals, how do we deal with them?

That's how I read it, the fact it says they cannot be activated until ''All other units has made their attacks'' implies that applied to both players. For example if you multi-charged a Glade Lord on Dragon, a Treeman and a unit of Wild Riders into a 35 strong unit of Zombies as the only assault tha...

Re: So, Stormcast Eternals, how do we deal with them?

All things made of Briar and Branch are good, but i would suggest the Ancient. He may have one less sweeping blow attack but he is a wizard and has one of the most terrifying powers in the game. Assume you have a Wyldwood which your Ancient is either in or just behind, the enemy army converges on it...

Re: So, Stormcast Eternals, how do we deal with them?

Waywatchers kick all sorts of ass. Using the piercing shots to cause 2 wounds each with possible -2 rend they can easily put a major pinch on many of his units and be a credible threat to his characters. Also make good use of Wyldwoods and Dryads, when non-Sylvaneth models charge in then on a 1 they...

Re: Regiments of renown

The champion is because i had 10pts to spend. 3 Waywatchers is 60 and 2 Glade Guard is 30, so those 10pts went into a champion. I'm hoping i won't find any T5, can you think of any T5 models with less then 3 wounds? I'm drawing a blank. EDIT** Characters are not needed. the only necessary thing is 2...

Regiments of renown

My store is running something akin to 40k Kill Team. It's 100pts, 25% must be core and models can be bought individually. No more then 20 models, no 3 wound models, no ethereal, no War Machines and finally only one model can have fly. Lots of restrictions. What would you throw into this? I'd run som...

Re: Speculation on the fate of the Asrai (lore and gameplay)

Unless something drastic happens, lorewise, Athel Loren is the safest place on the planet at this moment. With that in mind going forward, it would make a lot of sense for the other Elves to drift into becoming Wood Elves rather then the other way round. Athel Loren changes the people within it, so ...

Re: 1500 pnt Unicorn Vs Beastmen

Against Beastmen I'd prefer the extra unit of Wild Riders over the Eagles. Beastman chaff have no saves whatsoever, so are easy picks for Trueflight archers. You have no need to out chaff him, Wild Riders will chew through almost anything he has to offer. 5 Wild Riders put out 13 wounds onto most Go...

Re: Synergy with Dark Elves

Different from intended, maybe. Different from written? Not at all. It says any model with Muderous Prowess can re-roll to wound, it doesn't say it only effects close combat. Which ever way you interpret it, it doesn't matter. The OP wants to know synergies between Dark and Wood Elves and the list w...

Re: Synergy with Dark Elves

The Cauldron of Blood allows any models within 6'' re-roll to wound, even in shooting. This means Trueflight arrows have great synergy with it, due to being able to hit easily yet have trouble wounding. So having one of these surrounded by Glade Guard would work well i feel.

What other units would you suggest her to join?

She is no longer a Skirmisher so she...
