Three of my mates were playing in an AoS tournament last weekend, I don't really get a chance to play at the moment but happened to be in the area with a few hours to spare so I popped in to watch some of the games. It was great, there were about 60 players with loads of different armies...

You've made me look again at Fragment of the Red Keep, and I hadn't realised it was a bubble effect, that's pretty strong. Even better, it debuffs the enemy units, rather than buffing the friendly units. That means it will work in the doubles event I'm attending, where your buffs can't target or...

Sorry for the hijack! Yeah, I know what you mean about the trait/artefact, but Vhodrai kind of comes with a better artefact (heal d6) and a better spell than the normal VLoZD, so I figure that it's kind of a wash?

So... Has anyone noticed how good Harridans are these days?! My Nighthaunt sometime-doubles-partner, sometime-opponent, has noticed. Not only do they have a decent profile with 4 attacks, 3's and 3's, they are also really durable with the -1 to wound thing. And they are battleline, and they can...

I'm going into another doubles event soon, which will be my first event (and one of my first games) under the new GHB, so I need to get back up to speed. Seeing your list here, it's very much along the same lines as a 1k list I had drafted for the event, which went: Prince Vhodrai 5 x Blood...

Also, you can roll for it even if you have no slain units to return to the board. That means you can shoot for the Unstoppable Armies battle tactic if you are desperate even if there is nothing to bring back!

Thanks, I'll give that a try 🙂

I tried Saga when I first painted up a Viking warband, it's quite a fun game, not too much depth to it and a little bit too luck-driven to really grab me in the long term. Excellent for only needing a couple of dozen models though. I've also used the same models in both Lion Rampant (medieval...

I was always really surprised that there wasn't a launch made of a skirmish level game to go with the "Vikings" TV series that Amazon Prime made. There are some pretty strong models out there for that time period, these are probably my favourite: Vikings I know there was a game and a model...

I can see where you are coming from there, and I agree that fantasy provides a lot more flexibility in some games where world-building is a big theme (e.g. Oathmark, where you begin by building your "kingdom", which then influences what troops you can select for your army). But how about...

Interesting stuff! I'd be interested to know, how many people here play historical wargames on a regular basis? It seems as though fantasy/futuristic wargames are more fashionable these days, and I wonder why that is? AoS, 40k, Star Wars etc. seem to attract more players than, say, WW2 games, or...

I didn't play undead until 8th edition, but had a mate who did, and I would say that one of my favourite boasts in the latter stages of WHFB was that I had fought in the days when Nagash stalked the tabletop. Good times! As a troop type to include in an army myself though, its between...

It does seem as though the role of the VLoZD is primarily distraction, and if built accordingly then also a bit of a damage sponge for regular attacks. He never seems to dish out any damage for me, but still seems worth taking! How hard did you find the wolves hit? Our book seems over-stocked...

That first one is certainly a fair comment for AoS, and I guess is part of why AoS isn't really my game. I think small characters/units should be the thing, and basically everything costing more than 200pts should just be dumped out of the army books. The second one, I always see "same table...

Going to try this list in a TTS game one evening this week, probably against Daughters of Khaine. Hoping to use the Blood Knight Bounty Hunters to cause some pain to the spear snakes that I expect to be his battleline, or witch elves if he goes that way. The Legion of Blood vampires casting buff...
