Just a quick clarification that I always wondered about. Cannons have to have direct line of sight to the spot on the ground they are targeting right?

I meant no disrespect. I was not at all trying to insult you. Passively or otherwise. I'm sorry that's how I came off.

As experience has shown me it is pointless to argue with Tobiothan. He is not one to be swayed and I can respect that. He has his reasons for believing what he does like we all do. This argument is just going to turn into another UL rules argument on what specifically is allowed in an UL army...

So I guess it's either no restrictions or you cannot summon new units at all. I mean summoning any more units mean you have gone over your maximum point allowance for your entire army. Therefore you can't summon anything at all. Somehow I'm not buying into this all or nothing argument as the...

You could argue that since the summoned unit isn't worth any points it can't in fact add to your current point total and therefore the restrictions for how many rare points you can take isn't an issue. This way one can argue that all restrictions stand while still being able to "ignore" the...

Wight king BSB for sure. He is really tanky so stays alive for most games. I'll arm him with a great weapon and armour of silvered steel if I'm running the skeleton bus or I'll give him a shield with the Razor Standard and put him in my horde of ghouls (haven't used this latter tactic in a...

Okay good. I just wanted to make sure I'd be safe giving my vampire lord on coven throne the other trickster's shard.

But don't necromancers ride nightmares now? So even necromancers take away BK ethereal movement. This is really unfortunate...

I want to try out a coven throne. I'm also starting a Bretonnian army. Both coven thrones and Bretonnian mounts have ward saves. My question is does the other trickster's shard force the mount to reroll its ward save? I understand that a model doesn't count as being in base contact with...

I meant he's supported by a light caster. I always take lore of vampires on my dragonlord fot healing purposes.

I personally go with the face puncha but I switch out dreadknight with beguile. He simply wrecks anything in his path. He's like a one man army with a lvl 4 lore of light mage. Speed of light with phas protection is amazing. Even just with phas protection you should be safe from most everything.

I agree with giving cavalry ASF on the charge. It should be a cavalry/monstrous cavalry rule. As far as them losing rank bonuses after first round I don't see it as necessary since most units of cavalry are super small anyways.

The new verminlords are on square bases. If end times stuff is supposed to be 9th edition compatible than why keep the square bases? I can't imagine them switching all their stock once 9th comes out. We've only seen two models on round bases. I'm calling this one as false. I'll willingly admit...

Haven't seen the pictures but what if the round bases on the Bell and Furnace were more for show than anything else? Like the painter/modeler had no intention of playing a game with those models and just wanted to show them off. Is that a thought that has crossed anyone else's mind? There are...

What about an enchanted shield and the dawnstone? 1+ rerollable sounds pretty good on the flank. That still gives you points for sword of might or potion of strength if you'd like. In fact now that I mention it a potion of strength with a lance would be a pretty good one shot punch to get...

I've found that my build is extremely hard to kill. Near impossible really. I have beguile as a defensive measure and because it works well with the cloud of flies. I don't want to use dread knight because of the challenge thing. I want my lord killing what he wants. I plan on taking wolf darts...

So I know it's not the most competitive. I know I will lose a lot of games one the first or second turn. I don't care. The Vampire Dragonlord is way too BA for me to ignore any longer. I had great ideas for an UL list but as that has been voted down by many it's time to return to my roots and...

Hmm. Interesting. I didn't think that was the case. But after further reading of the rules you are definitely right. It literally says, "A charging unit can move an unlimited amount." I'll remember that for the future. That's really nice to know. Thanks for clearing that up.

@Malisteen how do you figure? Just out of pure curiosity. I mean if I start with a unit of 50 skeles and two units of 40 zombies and by turn two those zombies have grown to over 60 each how can dark magic kill them all? I haven't played against dark elves in a while so I've forgotten a little...

Just a question out of curiosity on the first example. If you were to barely complete the charge (ie. your charge roll was low enough to only give you 5") would you only clip the unit you were charging or would you just say you made the charge and maximize bade contact? Just out of curiosity on...
