Re: Spellweaver w/ Unicorn

The word "can" is in the sentence following, if I recall correctly. Can is permissive.

Re: GG and flame banner?

If regeneration is a concern in your area, just add a ten pack of Starfire or Moonfire arrows to your list. Or put the upgrade on your BSB or other combat character. Shoot with that unit first to knock down the regen and if you are facing a bunch of 2++ vs flaming, you can safely ignore using them. ...

Re: Spellweaver w/ Unicorn

Using protection counters is optional. You can let derps die or eat a random wound and keep one around to deal with cannons. Apotheosis lets you heal is later, and trust me people will let that spell (or shield of thorns) through when Unforging, Quench, or Walk are waiting in the wings.

Re: Combat characters. Worth it? How?

Where i play you also see ethereals and character spam. Other elven players in particular tend to bunker 2 - 3 characters in one unit.

Re: Combat characters. Worth it? How?

My sisters are never in a block. I run two five packs that act in the role my glade riders used to occupy, in addition to being excellent monster hunters. Thus, I run my Weaver solo on the unicorn with a 4++ and Dispel Scroll. Lately, I have added the Sword of Antiheros to her and it is easily worth...

Re: Combat characters. Worth it? How?

The real issue is the lack of mundane armor options on the level with the other elf books, though the lack of a defensive item is also a bit glaring. Things like the Twilight Cloak (or Chill Blade rules for the Spirit Sword) are gone when we used to have a bunch of defensive items. But even then, th...

I have not had major problems with him getting shot off. With all the speed and VG I have, I can screen my MCav characters pretty easily.

Re: Combat characters. Worth it? How?

Captain BSB riding the Stag with Spear, Armor of Destiny, and a shield has done wonders for me. He is a great chaff hunter and can jump into combats with the wild riders and remove a murder character out of the equation. I think the only combat characters worth taking (outside Orion) are ones mounte...

Re: Phazael's Alamo Shennanigans-

High Magic is a good choice against elves. Peg Riders are one of the things you really need Unforging for. I feel Hand is an excellent shooting buff plus it's dirt cheap to cast so adds an easy protection counter. Even making the Trueflight hit on 2's might be worth it. The answer to Phoenixes is n...

After playing a nasty 3 games against elves, one of each against each type, at the Zoo a couple weeks back, I'll ask you this question that I always ask myself and end up stumped.

Re: Phazael's Alamo Shennanigans-

Much of it depends on who or what I am facing. Spell by spell, here is how it has been: Drain Magic- If the opponent is packing a lot of Hex/Augment in their army, then this is always a keeper. It is easy to cast and if nothing else, people will let you use it for a cheap counter when you cast it on...

Remarkably bad for what is mostly a combat list, actually. 10.2 I think? I get hammered really bad for the two sisters units because I have a unicorn in the army, even though there is no reason to ever put her in either unit. I would go up almost a full point by dumping the eighth WW, but Swedish co...

Answering the query's one at a time: The stag guy is somewhat vulnerable, but 3+/4++ T4 with three healing mages in the army makes him pretty survivable. Unicorn girl has 4++ MR2 with protection counters. She never dies. I mean, literally, never dies. The reason my wild riders are in two units of te...

Re: Waystalker opinions after a GT

Yeah, ganking champions to prevent them from tossing them under the bus is the main function of my WS in most games (I run a single naked one). If there are no juicy wizards to pop shots at, I plink random champs. After using my solo one in general play, I have found it to be a useful distraction th...

Re: Spellweaver w/ Unicorn

Did some practice at an RTT with her this weekend, running 4++, Scroll, and Antiheros sword. She was rock solid for me all day, including ganking an Arch Lector off of his popemobile (here, have my S3 and 1 attack!) and prancing around taking down chaff.

My old one came on a 40, so that's what I am playing it on, but it really does not matter much as long as it is at least 40x40. No one has given me grief over it to this point, probably because they never fire a cannon at her after turn one....

The 4++ is mandatory. I have been using her since day one of the new book (had one I used occasionally with the last book) and she works as described. Keep her out of sight against cannon spam and focus on the buff game. Then, move her up and no one will bother trying to harm her, because it is a hu...
