I've heard, from a long time GW manager, who hired a number of those working at head office, that the rumour of a GW employee answering all the AoS queries at the forgeworld open day was rubbish. Yes someone was there but they wouldn't be giving out game changing info like that. Also, GW...

Here are my thoughts on AoS: http://www.jondoesgaming.com/2015/07/age-of-sigmar-review-good-bad-and-very.html I expect GW went into this knowing it would alienate a lot of fans of the old system. There would be a lot of outrage on the net and that should be expected and taken into account. I...

Hi all, Been a while since I started a topic. Just thought I'd check in and see if anyone is going to ToS in June? Tickets went on sale today and 40k sold out in a matter of minutes/hours but I think fantasy tickets are still available. I know we have a worldwide audience here but thought...

For me, personally, I think the undead characterisation was spot on. At first I had the "hole" you get when you finish a story with characters you love and you want more and you're annoyed it ended where it did. But, given some time and another read I an pretty happy with the ending in Archaon...

Very true regarding the rumours. All I'll say is "round bases". On other forums everyone was going crazy over this but it has basically been proven as false. Square bases still in use at head office as of two weeks ago and the latest fantasy characters are on square bases. I think you're right...

Unless they release all of the new army books with "9th edition" then the characters will still remain as we would have to use our current books. Also, despite Vlad, Isabella and Konrad being "dead" in the 8th ed. Timeline they were still in the VC army book. I imagine this trend will continue...

Can't guarantee this is correct but it fits with what I've heard. I guess we will find out soon enough...

I think you can afford a shield on the vamp as well which I forgot to list. Originally I was going to include the necromancer as well but I feel at 1k you need to be able to hit and if you're against dwarves you don't need to worry about magic as much. With wolves van guarding and vargheist...

Hi, This is an end times list, if you play not end times lord allowance look into replacing the vamp lord. I can't promise this will be a great list but here goes. Lord Vamp lord lvl2 lore of vamp. Barded nightmare, RF, armour of destiny, sword of swift slaying (gives ASF for less than...

Hi, depends what you're using the vargheist for. If they're warmachine hunting the extra attack may be useful but it's also throwing away points as they likely won't survive the battle. Standards would be good if you end up in a blood and glory battle as you need lots of standards in that so...

Thanks for the advice. I forgot to list the banner of swiftness on the skellies, would it be worth dropping that and a musician from somewhere to get another black knight? Maybe the champs on the wolves and the other musician to add another black knight as well? The other option would be to...

Hi, So after a number of games using khalida I've decided to test out the new magic in Khaine to get an idea of how they can mesh at the next points increase. Here's the list, let me know what you think: Lord: Vlad, mortarch of shadow (lvl 3, lores vampire, shadow, undeath) Hero: Vamp -...

Not sure if this is the right place for this but wanted to get another opinion. I had my first taste of end times magic today and went up against dwarves (not the best test maybe). Now this brought up an interesting sticking point. My opponent claimed that as the rule states a wizard needs to...

Hi, I'm not one of the experts on here but I've played a fair few games at 1k in a campaign I'm involved in so I can offer some advice from experience. Firstly, you'll want to get some sort of ward save on your vampire. He/she is key to your army so you want to keep them alive. As you...

Nice to see you had success against the wood elves, although there is a small part of me disappointed to see them getting squashed ;). I want to give T&T a go but trying to get people together for a game is proving a challenge in the run up to Christmas. We have a good dwarves player where I...

Thanks, I'm actually a Brit but spent a while living in the states and enjoyed bringing some of the festivities home yesterday, if only GW did Black Friday ;). I hope you had a good thanksgiving as well

I read that as the caster gets 4d6 and the dispell pool doesn't change (eg highest 1d6). You then both roll to see how many dice you can use for each particular spell and assign these from your overall power pool. I think 2d6 would be better but oh well, time to buy Mannfred! His rule for...

Ah you're in luck as I dabble in a bit of wood elves from time to time. In his bow line he will have hagbane tips at some point. They will make mincemeat of your terrorgheist, find them and kill them. Keep the zombies near the casket, another trick he may pull is glade riders ambushing your...

Hi, At 1500 UL I've found Khalida and a massive block of archers can do wonders against most lists. All of a sudden you big block of archers is hitting on 4s and 6s are poisoned. I don't know much about dark elves but I imagine they are T3 with little to no armour. Say you have 49 archers and...

Hi sun king, Thanks for your response, it's nice to be contributing rather than just hiding in the shadows. The points are a bit low right now but we are in a campaign and increasing them every couple of weeks. Right now we are at 1500 (although I have 1650-1700 as I have had a few victories in...
