Treemen will be tough for enemies to deal with. Your free forest can give a turn or two of cover from enemy cannons if needed, before scouts take them out. Wild riders are nasty at low points, just beware if magic missiles. I would be tempted to take cavalry spear on BSB to keep 2+ in close combat a...

I guess automatic rally on fire and flee can make a big difference, compared to a failed test on deepwood scouts. Other than that it seems their only strength is shooting targets in cover. However, we also have a magical banner that can be put on glade guard or glade riders to make them ignore cover...

So in the end I won the tournament with 3 major victories, prize was a speed painting set and a sign to hang on the wall. My brother won best painted army, with the chaos dwarves army from the practice battles. Very nicely arranged tournament, it was organized by the lizardman player. I think I forg...

Third and last game of the 6 people 1200pt tournament was against an unbeaten high elf army: ## Characters [462pts] Archmage [200pts]: Hand Weapon, High Magic, Wizard Level 4, Silvery Wand Noble [262pts]: Hand Weapon, Shield, Full Plate Armour, Lance, Griffon, Heavy Armour, Serrated Maw, Wicked Claw...

Second game of the 6 people 1200pt tournament was against lizardmen: ## Characters [566pts] Saurus Scar-Veteran [311pts]: • 1x Saurus Scar-Veteran [311pts]: Hand Weapon, Heavy Armour, General, Carnosaur, Heavy Armour, Slashing talons, Cavalry Spear, Shield, Glyph Necklace Saurus Scar-Veteran [125pts...

First of the 6 people 1200pt tournament battles was against ogres: ## Characters [261pts] Bruiser [117pts]: Hand Weapon, Heavy Armour, General, Additional Hand Weapon Butcher [144pts]: Hand Weapon, Wizard Level 2, Battle Magic, Additional Hand Weapon ## Core [398pts] Ironguts [170pts]: • 4x Irongut ...

Not great, waystalker is LD8 so there is no benefit and only the extra cost if you lose him. Failing a terror test almost cost me dearly in the tournament, but I don't remember if LD9 or even LD10 would have helped. Can't remember the roll. There will be more thoughts on waystalker after the tournam...

In the end I decided to bring a slightly refined version of the first list. My thoughts was that the ranger list was probably stronger, but the first list was much more "wood elf" and in line with "the spirit of the game". I ended up with the following list: ## Characters [376pts...

The second game of TOW was also preparation for the upcoming 1200pts tournament, this time my list looked like this: ++ Characters [484 pts] ++ Spellweaver [290 pts] - Hand weapon - Talismanic Tattoos - Level 4 Wizard - On foot - Lore Familiar - 3x Power Scroll - High Magic Glade Captain [194 pts] -...

My first TOW battle was in preparation for a 1200pts tournament. I had two lists that I wanted to try out, and the first one was this: ++ Characters [331 pts] ++ Shadowdancer [175 pts] - Spear of Loec - Level 1 Wizard - 2x Obsidian Lodestone (was changed to lore familiar before the game) - An Annoya...

I liked them in 9th age with vanguard, +1 attack on charge and S5 on charge. They were like wild riders sacrificing damage for even greater mobility and some survivability. Really good for getting around the enemy and dealing with tough threats with few wounds like chariots and of course warmachines...

I know it doesn't really cover the old world, but 8th had same wording and in addition this faq entry: "Do units that are deployed as Scouts count toward determining who finished deploying their army first? (p79) No. Source: Warhammer Rulebook Official Update Version 1.9, p. 10" I believe ...

I would agree to assume going second, but with Vanguard you might be able to end up just out of charge range of infantry on flank for example. Alternative it can also be used not to charge turn 1, but ensure getting around the enemy on turn 1 movement phase for a juicy charge on turn 2. Give it a tr...

What I like: 1) Lamentation of despair on the dragon looks nice, haven't seen it before 2) Love the fast mage that can follow the dragon around and hide behind it. Forest walker might be interesting with the dragon if there are many forests. 3) Glade riders with reserve movement, deepwood scouts and...

Deployment rule for characters p285: "All of the characters in your army are deployed last, and all at the same time, but can be placed at different locations within your deployment zone." Scouting rule p177: "Units with this special rule may be deployed after all other units from bot...

I think only bedazzling helmet was removed from our dragon riders, no? No more only 6s to be hit. If we really want armour then silvered steel or meteoric armour are the only real choices I think. Armour of destiny is too expensive i feel. My next list has two dragons in there. A "standard"...

Hello Boskie, Thank you for the thorough walkthrough. I think you are 100% right about the intention, and I also believe that is how it should be played. Reason I share it here is to hopefully finding some arguments against. I think most of these discussions stem from the rules not being clear, whic...

I have tried a unit of 10 hagbane riders with ignore cover banner. I guess true flight and razor banner could be a useful combo too. Haven't tried yet with a character though, but the hagbane unit pretty much removed a warmachine every turn. I find that reserve move keeps them super safe, by hiding ...

With the new faq another use of the glade riders emerge: Page 177 – Reserve Move Change the first sentence of the rule to: ‘Unless it charged, marched or fled during the Movement phase, a unit in which the majority of the models have this special rule may make a Reserve move at the end of the Shooti...

And also: Q: The Bow of Loren allows a Wood Elf character to make a number of shots equal to their Attacks characteristic. How does this interact with Enchanted Arrows? A: When firing an Enchanted Arrow it is assumed the model is firing only once, as is the norm. Therefore, one of the shots fired fr...

I think the intend was only armour save, otherwise it should have said armour values in plural. But just another example of the rules being terribly defined sadly.

Nice spot. But it doesn't change the rule about only shooting once per phase though. Unless there is another exception hidden somewhere..... Edit: I suppose if a spell gets dispelled , then it wasn't really shot/fired but only attempted? So having multiple magic missiles, vortex and shooting weapons...

It was pointed out in another thread that magic missiles count as a shooting attack, and that only one shooting attack can be made by a unit per turn. So even if ruby ring works with sniper, then it means you can't use the bow on the same turn. Also I don't think swiftshiver arrows can be combined w...

There is one problem to consider though. It seems that a Magic Missile is part of the shooting phase/rules which state that a model can do only one shooting attack. And because a Magic Missile is a shooting attack, it seems you cannot cast two of them in the same phase. This means, for example, tha...

Champions also get look out sir, its described on page 199. The list is submitted, and the waystalker does still bring some value forcing characters into units which I can hopefully then charge with some other units. He is fitted with bow of Loren and arcane Bodkins, hoping to snipe a BSB. Would pro...
