    Battle vs Glottkin

    You just cast purple sun and erase him which is sad. Enjoy the battle because after the hype dies down he will be nothing more than a great shelf decorator. Everything a demon does is magical. When a demon sneezes; its a magical sneeze. Ethereal is a bad choice. The second best option would...

    Legions of Chaos Troll Horde Deathstar: let's break it

    Unfortunately hexwraiths won't make it to turn 2 with Khaine magic. Even using standard magic, by the time you redirect and set up a double charge with your blender bus and hexwraiths, something really nasty would have happened. Trolls are core in this scenario so you still have their general to...

    dire wolves providing hard cover

    I don't see anything about whether you can or cannot hit multiple units in the rulebook or eratta. I've never fired a both thrower before so I'm not sure, but it does seem that you can only hit one unit with it. Direwolves would look sweet on some cork-board rocks if you want to lift them up...

    dire wolves providing hard cover

    Shooting rules are very complex and often little understood even by armies with shooting units. This can be especially hard for VC players who don't have any shooting models. All models (friendly or enemy) provide hard cover to models blocking more than 50% LoS of models shooting at them. This...

    Help Beating dirty WoC list

    SOB I didn't know this So QB w/ Great Weapon is your best bet. You save some points at least but now you have to rely on VDM for your re-rolls, so I'd go with a Book of Arkhan to be safe.

    Help Beating dirty WoC list

    DP hate screams, especially in contact with OTS. Purp sun is cheese I always prefer shadow. The Remains in Play will help you control the magic phase. Hes going to try and fly over to your line and purp sun on turn 1, so be the better man and beat him without it. What I'd have brought was a BK...

    Arming my Wight Knight

    Wolves are best in groups of 5, usually 3 in front. You move them up 1" from a nasty infantry unit at 90* and their best option is to attack it for a 1" movement gain. Frenzied units have to overrun into nowhere. Also for war machine hunting (10 can't assault a WM at once) or slamming into...

    How 9th could be AWESOME!

    I wanted a reason to start an art project so I went to the local GW (which is disturbingly sad in NYC by the way) and I was torn between VC and Necrons. I chose Necrons. My first year I assembled and painted a beautiful Necron army and got into 40k. Despite how gorgeous the models are in 40k, I...

    Stormfiends

    There's no reason to compare these units as they have very different roles. 85pts each, so were talking 255 point of entry here. That's a pretty big commitment in a horde army. All the new Skaven toys go directly against their philosophy of having a model on the table for every 10 points. Still...

    Legions of Chaos Troll Horde Deathstar: let's break it

    End Times Magic works great against Regen - as long as you have at least one fire spell to break Regen then you can cast anything else and it cant be saved. Unfortunately a Doombull puts a stop to this. Luckily the unit is dependent on the Doombull which isn't that hard to take down. Spirit...

    Arming my Wight Knight

    Paired Weapons grant an extra attack. An Extra Hand Weapon also grants an extra attack, but cannot be used on mounted models. There is nothing in the FAQ regarding Paired Weapons except that, they also Require Two Hands. Therefore a mounted model can take paired weapons and receive the benefit...

    Arming my Wight Knight

    I've been wanting to make a mounted wight out of the BK/HW kit for a long time. The GW one looks older than I am. As for setup, I don't recommend lances. Undead benefit from being charged more than charging (then can then heal after one round). You will get flank charged, where an ogre blade or...

    Which new Mortarch do you choose?

    I see, Elven Legons or this book. So they did make it so its like an elf war thing exclusively. Odd, given that with BotWD, Elves have the best defense against the magic phase in general.

    Just used end times magic for the first time

    I find it saves a lot of time in the beginning. You just roll for table side, set a few units down, roll for first turn .. and you're playing. The extra time that Steapa is explaining is simply time thinking, and this time will be reduced as you get familiar with your spell lores and used to...

    Vampire Counts 8th Edition Handbook by Sunny & Najo

    Likely the best army guide ever made

    Which new Mortarch do you choose?

    This is only due to GW failure to organize tournaments and just leave them up to the whims of the organizers. Everyone has their "house rules" and when you go to a tournament, your simply playing the organizers "house rules". I'm sure somewhere they are doing End Times Tournaments. It's only...

    Malekith the Eternity King

    Its a common misconception that Ethereal can move though units, due to Hexwraiths ability to, which is unique. Malekith is actually not that impressive compared to Nagash. Nagash is 4+/4++ and can summon multiple Tgheists, which along with death snipes (which Nagash has) are probably the best...

    Closing the Gap

    It took me a long time to understand the nuances of charging. The Declaration & Reaction Firstly, You can only declare a charge if the unit you wish to charge is both in LoS and forward arc (and within 10"+M" distance). Even if it seems weird as long as these are true you can declare it. There...

    Witch Elves...

    They fight in 3 ranks now too right? So they got so much more powerful .. and they can stick a HE hero with BotWD in there now. Regardless I'm sure they are going to have 3MR in there. DE easily have 10Ld with BSB so frenzy isn't going to do jack (other than make them ItP and +1 attack). And...

    Which new Mortarch do you choose?

    Shes not a one trick pony - as I said being a loremaster in shadow is a big deal if you're playing end times magic. Shes quite the beast of a caster being able to fly to where she needs to be and blast with magic. Unfortunately this leaves her quite vulnerable having basically no saves...
