Instant death? Slow burns? Horrible pain? Moderate discomfort? What little fluff I've read, sunlight almost seems to be a non-factor. At the very least it should make it hard to travel overland, at least not without giving away one's position to one's enemies. Manfred seems to catch...

My gaming group normally uses the BRB terrain generator, but sometimes we've had issues with combinations of terrain that don't make sense. One day we serendipitously rolled a “haunted” board and we had a blast. This got us set on (eventually) phasing out the schizophrenic BRB terrain...

Terradons are pretty brittle for their points cost. Scream attacks work well, as do any magic missile. Vargheists should be able to handle a group of Terradons of approximately the same size but they won't emerge unscathed. Fell Bats are a just a speed bump, but most VC non-chaff units should...

Anyway my plan is to make an Abyssal Teror that fluffwise was constructed Frankenstein style from dead creatures gathered in Lustria. A friend of mine went nuts with the old Bones Kickstarter a while back and sold me his red dragon model, I think it was Pathfinder. It looks cool and it fits...

Just changed my Avatar, wasting time on the Internet...

Good call. I added the notation and upped the color rating of Word of Pain. I also notation to Transmutation of Lead since it can do the same thing (with a mere -1 instead of -D3).

I put up Dwarfs, Empire, Chaos Dwarfs, Beastmen, Tomb Kings and Ogres. I am beholden to volunteers for Skaven since 1) I do not own a Skaven army book and 2) none of my main gaming circle play Skaven.

Under what situations would you want to take the Banner of Blood Keep? That seems ludicrously expensive to me.

-Throgg gets the normal troll vomit plus a Strength 5 breath weapon that ignores saves. -Armies with Throgg can take Chaos Trolls as Core -Throgg can act as general to friendly Warbeasts, Monstrous Beasts, and Monstrous Infantry within 18 inches. -M6, Ws 5, BS 2, S6 T5, W4, I2, A5, Ld8 Like...

Good catch, I fixed the erring Mathhammer on my part

@Skittelz1981 I have fulfilled your request, and I have covered High Magic too. Note that while I'm very familiar with High Magic my knowledge of Dark Magic is Theoryhammer. Hopefully my friend will get his Dark Elf army assembled and ready to go by October like he said! I'll try to throw up...

I added the Chaos Lores today. To Skittlez and Mr. Rainbow, you are absolutely right. Individual table top conditions always take precedent. Note I titled this thread "Guidelines for Magical Defense" not "Infallible Rules for Magical Defense"

This space Reserved for AB overflow since I'm not sure what the character limit per post is.

Part Two: Army Book Lores Lore of Vampires, Mirror Matchups Unless one of the players in a mirror matchup is a newbie, you should be evenly matched. A side with buffed undead beats a side without buffed undead all else equal. You can’t dispel everything so focus on the combats/units you...

I’m working on a guide for prioritizing which enemy spells to dispel. I’m open to feedback on these ratings. I’m using a modified color scheme similar to the up and coming 8E handbook. I’m open to changing this if someone disagrees with my rating or assessment. If you believe this is...

I only played one and a half games of SOM, Lizardmen with a Vampire Counts Pact. I observed a lot of games. You don't need to have your best wizard on a fulcrum, you need ANY wizard on a fulcrum. If your L4 is on a fulcrum you are asking for trouble. Double miscasts and all that. You want...

Mgag the Athach for Living Doll. There are lots of contenders for Nightmare spread across many categories. I won't be sleeping much tonight.

I wish I had more votes, these paint jobs are awesome. The clear winner for the Joker award seems to be Heinz's Chosen zombies

Yes, the Sun King is working on it

Special Characters are allowed, but with the Rules as Written, a SC is an EXTRA character, not a replacement character. That means pretty much everything would be spent on characters. I don't think a SC is a good idea, but if I tried one I'd think Konrad. He seems to be the closest I can find...
