I can respect that. I was that same way for the longest time, and can totally understand how you feel. I really like their zombies and ghouls though, but I use their ghouls as zombies to add variety to the unit and I use my GW ghouls as ghouls. I actually like the counters idea in KoW because...

then So like 3 or 4 smilies next time? Anyway back onto topic. Like I said before Mantic's models are a lot cheaper and although they're not quite as beautifully sculpted as GW's, contrary to the derogatory opinion of them that Chaos_Born has the sculpts are pretty good. They still...

Sorry it was easier to say elitist than typical webdork cussing and insultery in a vain attempt to sound like one of the cool kids. If elitist is strong language what is this? "I think the models really suck!...2 guys and a s**t load of mirrors!" In 2 years when Mantic's models are "up to...

I think they are in desperate need of new sculpts, and can't see how the over sized heads and hands could tie in with the current ghouls and skellies which I'll admit are great sculpts. However what they charge for them is ridiculous. I have been playing Warhammer Fantasy since 4th edition, and...

You talk about how much mantics models suck and use GW's zombies as your example of better models :lol:. Relax man don't get so hostile nobody is saying that you have to give up your bobble heads.

I got sick of their price increases a while ago and started buying my models from Mantic Games. http://www.manticgames.com/ Of course you wouldn't be able to use them in an official GW tournament because they like to maintain their near monopoly. My solution to that was to start playing...

Very true. Luckily for me all the tourneys in the Hobby Shops where I live allow them. I would have to travel a few states away to play in an actual GW tourney.

30 zombies in ranks of 10 is bad advise. On the off chance that your opponent shuts down your magic phases and you get engaged before you can pump them up. There is a good chance that one of your ranks will get wiped out before they strike. So you wouldn't be gaining anything and you'd be losing...

I would recommend not going with the 1oo man unit of zombies but rather 2 units of 33 and one unit of 34. The reason I say this is because of how IoN works. The 100 model unit of zombies will only gain 2D6 + casters level where 3 units gain 2d6 + casters level each. Lets say your caster is a...

I might also add that Mantic Games sells some rather superior looking and cheaper zombies. One of their boxed sets called Gravestalkers has Mantic Zombies, Mantic Ghouls (which look like zombies) and sprues of just gravestone markers that when glued on a 40mm base are ideal unit fillers. Low...

We will have to wait for the 8th edition VC FAQ for this too because the 7th edition FAQ for VC said that skaven do get to count their strength in numbers for the banshee howl. Unfortunately though GW already took that one down.

That is correct, the Unholy Lodestone allows you to re-roll 1 dice per affected unit.

Correction You declare Swift Reform before moving do a LD test and if you fail are still required to reform and can't do any other movement, if you pass you do the reform and can make a normal move. That is how they describe it on page 95. Thank you for the feedback. So far out of the 3 forums I...

Vanhel's Dance Macabre says "...if the target unit is unengaged it can make a move of up to 8" in the same way as a normal move made in the Remaining Moves sub-phase." I was understanding this as any manouvre that you can do in the remaining moves sub-phase you can do in the magic phase with...

I would also have to say that your regen from the Reliquary doesn't improve, but rather is replaced in the new turn with the new aura range. However I think if you are in the range of 2 Mortis Engine's Dark Reliquary Auras, the 1 would improve upon the others granting a unit in range of both a...
