VC is my largest, I can do about a 10k legal army, but have quite a bit more in characters. The I have about 6000 points each of both lizardmen and ogres. VC will always be my number one though :)

Thats exactly it, I think you've hit the nail on the head there! AOS is a new game, and if people arent interested in starting a new game they wont. And one new game is as good as any other to try, and unless you have tried, you cant know for sure if its any good. I think a lot of people that...

Hey Najo, I think its a shame you felt the need to post that. I have read a lot of your posts and I have never once thought you were anti KOW, or overly promoting AOS. You have just been sharing your experiences so far with a new game, keep it up people dont have to read them if they done want...

Great post Quinten, I voted for 8th Ed, there are a few things that most people gripe over with 8th, but in general I have been playing it long enough now to have just got over it and excepted it for what it is. I enjoy every game I play of 8th, win or lose, and I think thats all that really...

Haha, well this spiralled out of control a bit me thinks. I didn't say Christianity, I just meant it all comes from religion in general the idea of demons etc, but that's not to say the idea of chaos in GW didn't come from Christianity, only the people behind designing the Warhammer world knows...

Yeah totally agree with this, I think most ideas of demons and devils come from one religion or another. I never really thought of the chaos gods with the 7 deadly sins in mind, but now I think of it, it really fits :) @Adam_Barrow where do you think Tolkien got the idea of the balrog from ;)

Hi, I'm pretty sure the upgrades replace the hand weapons and I also think that is a rule that says special weapons have to be used in place of hand weapons if the model has both. I don't have the rule book with me but that little niggle in the back of my mind is normally on to something. I'll...

It is worth noting that multi wounds do carry over onto the unit up to a maximum of 3, so if the bolt thrower did 3 wounds on the first rank hit, the unit takes 3 wounds, so even if the unit had already suffered 2 wounds, 1 wound would kill the first model hit but 3 woulds would be removed from...

To me I think the scream is more like the multiple wounds special rule. So with hand of dust you role to hit, the armour forces the auto wound to only wound on a 3+, and then you role for d6 wounds (if you got a 3+), whereas there is no role to hit with the scream it jumps straight to the...

Thanks for all the replies guys, I'm kind of leaning towards the scream bypassing the armour rule looking at all the arguments to me the scream is more like a number of wounds caused my the multiple wounds rule and not a To Wound, so Armour wouldn't work against it.

There is nothing in the brb that says you can't generate spells mid game. I think if the wizarding hat was destroyed the ghoul king would loose the 2 wizard levels from the random lore and then immediately generate 1 spell for becoming a lvl 1 vampires. I don't think it's any different to...

Yeah I figured that to be the case, and things like poison and runefangs, but I'm not sure the exact ruling for the armour, so was wondering if this had come up before for anyone, or if anyone had the WoC book to check it

Hey guy, as in the title how does this work? Does the scream have to role to wound on a 3+ for each wound? Armour says hits that automatically wound still need to roll to wound on a 3+, but I'm not sure the scream counts as hits?

Oh I think lordtobiothan fully understands and plays it the way we all do, I think he is just playing devils advocate :tongue:

It depends what you are looking for, I like a solid unit of ghoul, poison makes them great monster killers, but if you are taking a solid unit of GG or TG and you don't need another big unit of infantry then chariots can be useful. I would take 2 units of 3 rather then one of 6, and use them as...

Bolt throwers use BS so wouldn't hit the vampire unless you wanted it to as controlling player distributes BS shots if the unit is of different unit types. But must be even distribution. Still I think this is a bad idea, give me the 2+ AS, killing blow black knights every time

You have to just laugh when things go so very wrong like that. The funny thing was as I was about to roll the dice for the spell I said "I'll play it safe and just use 2 dice", once I'd finished picking my chin up off the floor I had to then pick my opponent up where he had colapsed laughing. He...

Looking where the savage orcs are the saurus wouldnt be able to close the gap at the front as they already look to be about 1" from the savage orcs so couldnt move any closer but I think there may be room for the black orc to close the gap in the front of the saurus and get one or 2 models into...

Hey Guys, Thought I sare with you last nights bad luck story, would be great to hear other peoples too:) So had a 3000pt game against High Elves and once deployed I felt very confident, had lots of drops mostly ethereal. My opponent was completely out deployed with many units he had no...

You are correct the savage orcs would have to stop 1" from the black orcs so as they are already within 1" they wouldn't move. As for the black orcs overrun it is difficult to tell if they are in the front arc or the flank, they look pretty much 50:50 from the angle of the pic. Measure 45...
