Hi all :-D
1 Two days ago I bought a Stompa ( :icon_mrgreen: ) and today I finished assembling it, I have a problem with the name I will give to it. Unstompable, The hand of gork, The foot of gork are some that I considere, could you help me find something else ?
2 Also, about my empire general, what is the coolest name for a man with power? :icon_confused:
-
2 Also, about my empire general, what is the coolest name for a man with power? :icon_confused:
Max Power, of course.
Failing that, any variant of Awesome McCoolname.
Sorry. Fantasy Empire or 40k Empire? I just ask because you mentioned Stompas.
-
1. Unstompable works.
2. General Stab Von Killemall
Can I hijack your thread and ask for help with names too? :engel:
I have two vamp heroes called Snively and Van Spellsing, and a lord Vamp called Duke (or Dirk) Anger. A friend suggested if I get a 4th he must be called McBalzak (durhur), any better suggestions?
:engel:

Oh cool, it is fantasy btw. :icon_biggrin: I need something more historical.
Of course everyone can ask names for models here.
Something to do with Hell sould be a name for vampire lord. :icon_confused:
-
Hm, there's so much that you just have to pick. I'd recommend going to wikipedia and do a wiki-walk, starting with "Prussia" or "Polish history" (if you're into Ostland). You will get lots of names eventually, which sound more natural than made-up ones.
-
for the general: governor Nils Thune
for the stompa: stompy

I was hoping someone had linked that alread.
Contact PhillyT about the name for your STOMPA. He is in love with his, all of them.
For the general: Jan something.

For the Empire General, this link might help:

For the Empire General it must be the epitome of cool and awesome...

Once upon a time when I used to play dwarves, I was over at Bugmans brewery.
My Thane with an axe of +1S and ASF.. I named him Barney Rubblecrusher; the thane of pain.
And I believe the term "thane of pain" actually still gets used today.
*smiles in pride*

Some research led to this :
"Staff Sgt. Max Fightmaster, a computer technician, is one of thousands of Army National Guard and Reserve members who could soon be called up to active duty in Iraq."
-
Maybe these will give you suitable help?!

I've dubbed my BSB Kalle von Braunschweig. If he can fight half as well as his namesake then I'm going to be just fine.
The name generator is the best route, I found. Keep hitting the button until you find a name you think sounds cool.
-
I've devised a crafty Bretonnian lord... for my Bretonnian army.
Alas, I'll probably have to ditch him when the new rule books comes out (in 2000 point games), but he is beautifully potent.
S5, re-roll to hit and wound in challenges, no armour save allowed, re-rollable panic tests (Questing knight).
Sir Harold of Lower Bredaeth, the harbringer of instant death.
Sir H for friends.
-
Why wouldn't you make him Grail so then he's immune to psych?
my mate does the following:
Always wounds on a 3+, As at penalty of buffed strength
Re-roll to hit and wound in challenges
a buff to his ward save or something (or re-roll armour saves) can't quite remember
combined with his BSB which has WS10 and morning star of fracase in a unit of 7 Knight Errant with errantry banner makes for a nasty combo.

Nick Fury! or Giles Inneman Joseph, or as his friends call him; G.I. Joe! :blush: steveb

:Ohmy: that rocks
Makes my suggestion of Maximus VonBalsy not that great tho.

We could go down the MP road.... Bigus Dickus. Or Wodrick....
-

You can't use the questing sword.

AH, stands to reason then, I'll let this one slide.
You know if you don't accept a challenge then all characters and units in the combat loose the blessing. Our local Bret player had neglected to mention or remember that rule...

Of course I know that. Bret's always challenge. That's what the heroes are for!
Hooray for Brets!
-
You'd challenge me.... really?
-
You'd challenge me.... really?
Oh, absolutely.
At the very worst: better one dead hero than three dead knights.
-
My Doombull's name is Jimbo.
And I have a spawn named Chicken.
Just thought I would throw that in there.
-
up the number of knights :biggriin:

Okay.. I'll take the bait. What hero with what configeration do you use?

2 for you in my regular based army.
Dreadlord with Caledors bane (so str7 on the charge) potion of strength (+3 str 1 round of combat mine or yours - one use only), Pendant on Dragon, heavy armour, shield.
But the once I'm talking about is my Razor Assassin - 3 attacks +1 handweapon + d3, Killing blow (and when fully maxed out although this is rare he's also got manbane).
TBH I'd probably take out less then 3. My rought math hammer has it at:
Dragon rider = 3 wounds at 6+AS, 5+ ward so 2 dead around.
Dragon = 3 wounds at 5+AS, 5+ ward, 2 go to ward so 1-2 dead
Assassin = 6 attacks on average, 4.5 hit, 3 or so wound, 3+AS put 1 wound at 6+. Then again I seem to roll very lucky with this guy (got 2 kB on manfred with 4 attacks and 1 on my opponents regen wright king killing both! haha).
*keep in mind the assassin is in a unit of Black Guard usually buffed with KB from the couldron as well.

Why on Earth would you give someone with S7 +3S??? It's not like that 1 is gonna get reduced?

St 7 is on the charge, so he might be using it at the next round of combat, or if gets charged.
-
Or if you charge a Star Dragon or something.
-
Who on Earth actually uses dragons and stanks?
Good grief. In a 2000 point game???
Man... it's just as well I've got my men@arms, or I'd start to get worried.
-
2500pt games.
And Shav- have you NEVER read one of my battle or tourney reports?!

Er no.
Are there battle reports on this site? Seriously, I didn't know.
In fact, I don't even know what army this character of yours is in. I thought Chaos, but I've got the warrior chaos book* and the combo isn't in there. So, I'm stumped.
But you should beware of my men@arms. Seriously. They're gonna do you over like a cheap prostitute on the streets of Moscow.
* Well, okay, technically I've borrowed the book... gotta see if I want to start that army or not. But all choices are postponed until I've read 8th edition rules.

I'm not very impressed. To be quite honest, unbreakable and ranked units are the bane of my Bretonnian army. I couldn't imagine having too much difficulty taking your list on.
The only thing going for you is three terror causing units. And that's a little uber if you ask me.
With so little magic, I'm quite surprised you beat TK's. What was his list like?
-
Khalia
3xLP
40 bowmen
2x20 bowmen
4x4 chariots
2 bone giants
Shavix I'm also the best gamer in Hong Kong :engel: (nah just kidding).

4x4 chariots is bizarre.
They'll have suffered from not having princes in them though.
Khalia? Is that the special character which gives the bows poison attacks (I don't have my book here and I never use special characters).
2 bone giants... he deserved to lose... Good grief...
I was once a chess champion (nah, just kidding).
-
haha yea the TK game was an issue.
Vamp's were easy walk overs it was only some poor moves on my side that stopped me from getting a Win game 5 as well.
Shave tbh I always struggle against Brets, even when playing Empire. I can take on any unit you have, but when you throw 2-3 at me I can't juggle them all.
