Re: Elven deities real-world counterparts
To throw another name into the Isha comparisons - Isis, Egyptian mother goddess, patron of nature and magic. Resurrected her husband (Osiris; although she only had to resurrect him once, rather than every spring...)

Re: GladeRiders only get Armour Piercing on the turn they ch
Except that Wood Elves don't use BRB Spears. They use Asrai Spears, which are a completely new weapon entry. Unlike the spear rules in the BRB, the Asrai Spear does not state that it can only be used when charging. Only the +1 Strength bonus is lost when not charging.

Re: Eagle characters; can they go into units of warhawks or
Eagles are on a 40mm. The metal great eagles that are still sold for high/wood elves come in a 40mm No, they don't. The only Great Eagles you can get from GW now (at least in the UK) are these ones and they come on 50mm bases. The only Eagles that have ever come on 40mm bases are the old "War ...

Re: FTE's Report from the 2014 Unplugged GT
Nice write ups FTE! On the topic of Eternal Guard: Eternal Guard As described in my previous post, the Eternal Guard did what I wanted of them. But the points cost of the unit was a little high for that utility. I think I might get better returns from adding more glade guard. Overall Grade: B I'd li...

Not quite; they won't get to charge after vanguarding if you go first - that's not the same thing as "first turn".loki0486 wrote:Just keep in mind that if you vanguard those WR then you don't get to charge first turn.

Re: Random Army? - Now with Most Armies
....Hence why the only change I think *needs* making is to only generate armies using the figures available. I think that's what the intention is, if you enter more miniatures than you own naturally you won't get a playable army :paranoid: I didn't enter more miniatures than I own, that's the point...

Re: Random Army? - Now with Most Armies
Absolutely agree, my point in suggesting otherwise is not meant to take away from the completely random (which is hilarious and awesome) but to add an option (as in optional ) to have it come up less random by making simple rule sets that might be a good basis for a small tournament for example :) ...

Re: Ryan Abt Battle Log 5/27 Update
The only comment I'd offer is to question the Starfire Arrows on the BSB and the Standard of Discipline on the Glade Guard - why are they there? Once he's fired the HoDA, the BSB will only be getting one shot per turn, and Starfire arrows will only prove useful against particular armies anyway. Give...

Re: The Great Repaint (Pic Heavy!!)
Thanks Allendor. I was pretty daunted about repainting, but it needed doing as I just wasn't happy with how I'd painted things previously. Now that I've started, I have to finish! I think a lot of the 5th Ed models still stand up with the current range, although the style is slightly different they ...

Re: The Great Repaint (Pic Heavy!!)
Many thanks Samoht! Glad you think it fits with the rest, as that was the hardest part to figure out!
Next will probably be Wildwood Rangers, which are much more in my comfort zone.

Re: New level of wraithstar
Before a forth BW can join the unit and displace the whole front rank, the third BW must join the unit. Where does BW #3 go? There is no room on the sides and 3 BWs do not fit neatly. Well it depends on your thought process, if you think of it like: if all the characters join the unit at once then ...

If you bumped the BW up to 5 models and put them in the front rank I see no reason while that could not work. 1) WWWWW XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX 2) WXXXXX XXXXX XXXXX How is exm. 1 Much different than exm. 2? With 5 BW it would be equal to the 5 EG with a BW in the front rank on the side the way models wit...

Re: New level of wraithstar
Yeah, so I guess that would mean you'd have to place 2 wraiths on each side of the unit? Unfortunately, that's not possible either, again due to the incompatibility of the base sizes. You would be able to place a maximum of one Branchwraith "attached" to the side of the front rank. The ot...

Perhaps you're getting confused with all the abbreviations between WR (Wild Riders) and WWR (Wildwood Rangers)? Opinion is split on Wildwood Rangers, but definitely not on Wild Riders - they really are incredible! I think, along with Waywatchers, the Wild Riders will become a staple unit in pretty m...
