    Any 'true' KoW armies started yet?

    Yes, and that does alot to improve on them - one area Mantic lacks is their studio panters are poor. But those sculpts are still nowhere in the same slar system as the Mierce figs, and the Mierce ones will be cast better to boot.

    Any 'true' KoW armies started yet?

    They are the right size. If you aren't familiar with Mierce, their models are amazing, I used several in my Chaos army, and I know a guy who ran a "ogre" army using a nunch of their stuff. They make the best models out there for my money. Also, beyond the 5 poses, if you search Maeganwolf they...

    1500 Point Undead List

    If it were a regiment I would agree with you, but paying for an upgrade - especially the fog, one of the most expensive upgrades - on a troop I just don't find to be the best use of points personally.

    Loving this game!

    Yeah ... I personally got out when the Skaven ET book dropped, I saw where it was heading. Since that I did compete in one GT, but otherwise hadn't played a game since ... until about 6 weeks ago when I started dipping into Kings of War at the urging of my friends. Here locally, before the...

    1500 Point Undead List

    Personally I would take the fog off your troop of wraiths. Upgrades are fairly pricy and to me, and in theoryhammering it out with some of the other big GT players I know, the general thought is only spend points for upgrades on large units.

    Any 'true' KoW armies started yet?

    I am starting (sort of) Mantic projects. With the death of WHFB, I acctually sold off my VC, Empire and alot of Chaos. I held on to my dwarves and a little bit of Chaos stuff. Now that I recently decided to ramp back up for Kings of War, my first step was to bring my dwarves in line because that...

    Loving this game!

    I'm surprised there aren't more that have made the switch. Virtually the whole US is switching over. In my region we have somewhere around 200 GT players, and that is just the tip of the iceberg, because they represent the backbone of much larger local scenes as well. I can say that in the 4...

    US Masters

    Just to clarify, for anyone who was interested and hasn't read the accounts elsewhere. There are 8 voting regions in the US Masters for this. In order to change systems 7 out of the 8 had to vote to switch. Kings of War was a clear strong option for the change, but instead of splintering any...

    how do you Bus / BK Bus?

    My bus is 10-15 BK with barding and lances, my blenderlord, a wk next to him with the nightshroud ... then sometimes I add a second vamp, lv2 death caster as well. Support that with some combo of tg (1at least always), varghulf, hexies, black coach, or 6-8 crypt horrors.

    Are Dire Wolves auto-include?

    Yeah, if SH and DW were in the same category maybe there could be an argument, but they are core, and they are lovely, lovely amazing core. In a tournament a couple of weekends ago, I was facing another counts player who had mini-Manfred on an abbysal terror. First turn my unit of wolves charged...

    VS Chaos Dwarfs

    K'Dai can be rough. The counter to him is our terrorgheist. I have tabled our local CD player twice (and he is a very good player), and I take his K'Dai with tg screams. If he has blunderbusses, be aware of them, they can put out a sh1t ton of shots real quick ...

    Best and worst match up?

    For me it's HE with the godforsaken BotWD deathstar and phoenix (not just frostheart, I have a local HW who likes the flame phoenix, and it will absolutely eat zeds and skeletons with the fly over). I also have had poor luck against the ogres, but I only have played them a couple of times.

    Are Dire Wolves auto-include?

    If they aren't frenzied, then that unit isn't going to overun like that, they will just combat reform to face you again, and then you won't have the juicy flank charge. No good general gives you his flank like that unless he has to. That said, yes wolves are auto include. My games are all...

    Dwarven technology and shutting it down. (Gyrocopters)

    Also, how is them having runes any more bad then us having vampiric powers that other players don't know about unless they read our book or play lots of VC? Why should everything be vanilla? More variety and uniqueness is a good thing.

    Dwarven technology and shutting it down. (Gyrocopters)

    Spell eaters are basically a dispel scroll that on 4+ roll removes the spell. What do you expect from us though? Unless we take a very expensive banner (on a then very squishy BSB), we max out at +2 to dispell against anyone, we have no spells to help ourselves either bia buffs or offensive...
