Topic: New edition, new armies

[Warlord]

Their ward save is still good for missile weapons and flankers.

Hardly enough when they also only get a 6+ AS. 8pts is not quite enough IMO to justify. Might as well go two hand weapon 

[Novogord]

I'm not planning on another army, I already have around 5 armies, so another one will be overkill. Maybe just finishing one would be great

That's really too bad you already did the converting, though, honestly, I don't think they would have been any good with a 5+ AS in 7th. Personally, I would rather have had the extra choppa attack.

If they already have a 6+ don't HW/Shield give them +1 to that ward so a 5+ward. Or will that only be for WOC with MoT?

Yes, only WoC with Mark of Tzeentch ward save stacks with parry save. Stupidly.

[GamesPoet]

No new armies here.

I've already got Empire well under way and won't be giving that up anytime soon, if ever.  I've got bits for O&G, and WoC as well, yet with or without 8th, I'd eventually grow these further.

Then there is the 40K Orks, and small numbers of Space Marines and Tau, along with 15mm WW2 Germans, 28mmm Napoleonics, and 28mm Romans that lll need some work.

New armies ... well even those outside of WFB would be happening with or without 8th edition.

I am still sitting in the holes to make the Athenian army but I will wait for the FAQ to decide if I should go High Elf or Lizardmen (right now the money is on lizards).

[shavixmir]

When are these faq's coming out?
I'm still wondering about expanding my Bretonnian army or building a maurauder infantry army.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Go marauder they can squabble the whole time with a scottish accent with flails they are even quite solid I4 S5 as a horde from three ranks, they only hit this hard in the first combat round but that should be enough...the FAQ should be out on july 10th.

I think Orcs would suit you most though.

Actually Lizardmen.

Though not starting a new army, I am giving my 6-year-old Empire forces a repainting that they have long been deserving.  Some forces only get touch-ups, but 15 Greatswords will soon be Carroburg and a regiment of Swordsmen will bear the colors of Bogenhafen.  Purchases will be focused on finishing out this force - things like that sixth Cannon, third Mortar, and maybe (finally) a brace of Rocket Batteries, as well as more militia for the detachments and some of the newer Warrior Priest models.

[Von Kurst]

Selling my unpainted, in box Vampire Counts.  Selling my Beastmen.  Might get rid of the Dwarfs and Skaven as well. 
Orcs, zombie pirates and Empire might get face lifts and tummy tucks.

[warhammerlord_soth]

Could you PM a for sale list ?

[Von Kurst]

PM sent.  Undead should have been listed as sold.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Damn what a pity Soth started Dwarfs...otherwise I would have had some presents for the Weib.


@Soth :Do you mean lizard suit me or Shavixmir?

[warhammerlord_soth]

Shav.

Because of his Slann-like features.. 

[shavixmir]

You're obviously referring to my imposing personality.

[Aldaris]

You're obviously referring to my imposing personality.

And your ability to fart lightning bolts!

Ooh you bitch ...............

For a few posts, thought I was in the Back Table area.

No,

I was referring to the way you sit back and contemplate the problems of the world, in perfect knowledge of the solution to all these problems, yet somehow always letting others do the actual problem solving...

I often wondered when the word Touché would look awesome on the screen.

Now I know...

  I'm looking to start:

 2k pts of High Elves
 2k pts of Skaven
 500 pts of Empire

  And add to my existing dwarf army of over 4k pts

I'd go for 3k pts in Helves and Skaven, get a nice solid fun army where you don't need to cost/economize!

[GamesPoet]

132nd ... your in luck if the rumor is true about the new starter set being both HE and Skaven.  Why only 500 points of Empire?

[FR1DAY]

Warriors of chaos for me. Units of 35 marauders with MoT and LA and shield rock as a army centre, along with 18 warriors with halberds and shields with MoT, great in either offence or in defence. Have done about half the marauders 90 infantry and 20 cavalry so have made a good start.

  Sorry.  500 pts of Empire was a typo.  I meant to say I was going to be adding 500 pts of Empire to my 1,500 pt Empire army to make it 2,000 pts.

  As for Skaven and High Elves the reason I am starting them is because of the starter set rumor    Hoping that I can get them extremely cheap.
