Re: Storm of Magic, incoming

So, at the very least, we need a points reduction. Also, however, we do need a facelift on the following units: glade riders, wild riders, warhawk riders, way watchers, and possibly wardancers. I don't find eagles to be that effective, given ranged attacks, but at 50 pts., they're just fine. I agre...

Re: Storm of Magic, incoming

It amazes me that GW thinks this is the time to release an expansion when there is some armies, like us WE, that still have 6th edition army books. New model by this Trish sounds good though, but still.....stupid to waste time with this expansion BS when they have more pressing things to doo. :thum...

Also, you can use the common sense.
I just coul'd not find anything stating that spells or their effects would be taken as special rules.
So what are they? Nothing?

Re: Thunderstomp Question

I think I will still give the Lore of Beasts a shot. Lore of the Beast is very viable, you only need few things: * Instead of TK and TM, your army needs to be focused around dryads. Dryads are OP with beast lore. WDs are strong. TK are decent, TM do not care. * Cause you need to run multiple dryad ...

Re: Regrowth Question

From my understanding, Lifebloom can be used on characters, monsters, or even war machines, so long as it has more than one wound - in other words, it can't bring a dead model back to life, but it can heal a wounded model. Your understanding is completely correct. And that is why empire with STank ...

The reason a BSB cant use a normal bow is because one hand is always holding the banner so he cannot feasibly pull back the string. Only the old-school BSBs.

Everytime you cast successfully with a spell from the Lore of Life, you regain a lost wound, either on the caster or on a nearby model...it doesn't say "you MAY regain a lost wound." Yes. Either the caster or another friendly model. if you hope to keep the 2+ ward, you need to try not to ...

Re: WR magic weapon

nothing is said about a prohibition from taking a magic mundane weapon, the same way a WR or Eternal do not lose his longbow, or the same way a BSB is not prohibited from taking a magical longbow.
Nothing? Really? And what about the AB rules?
