Somewhere between 60 and 70 Euros for a double room per night, meaning about 30-35 p.P. per night. Including breakfast buffet.

Fandir is officially challenged to a warhammer game, by me! Since he didn't show up last year, this will be a grudge match with a forfeit for the loser! :icon_twisted:
-
Yes and we have decided that Finlay has to pay the forfeit no matter who loses.
-
Ha ha, definitely!
And we won't tell him what it is until he has to do it.
-
I too challenge Fandir and Rufus and random other people
-
Accepted!
-
Just to get it out of the way, no. :icon_mrgreen:
-
I challenge Dwhitey to actually attend the eurobash!
-
Finlay is going to love paying all these forfeits...
-
I'll be bringing either 2400 and 3000 points of dwarfs or 2400 points of goblins.
I'll bring my 1000 point nazi army too if anyone dares play it. Otherwise you can all oooohhh and ahhhh it to please my ego.
If anyone's interesting in buying my Tallarn / Jihadist army, I'll bring that too:
3 forgeworld heavy weapons, forgeworld sniper team, unit of camel riders, Bin Laden and about 45 non-GW Taliban models.
Ohhh.. And a GW chimera. And 10 GW IG models
Oh. And also a two-legged GW at-at with the mad mufti driving it.
-
I think I'll only bring one army, trying to play with two was too many.via played too many games and didn't drink enough last year, or play enough board games
-
I'll probably just bring a fantasy army, since I don't know the new 40K rules anyway. And it's quite hard to carry both.
-
I might goblinify my ong army.
-
I'm going to update my perry empire/mercenary army for 8th. I will leave the marines at home.
-
Jeee... what will I bring.. hmm I guess I'll stick to my Empire, which I really really need to look at again.. hopefully I will be able soonish again.
-
I promise to try and have a finished army this year, any remember the axes
-

Bring the duck. That always seems to bring me good luck.

Bored need somthing to do, how about a 40,000pts WHFB battle (http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=109661)
I feel challenged....
-
You would need sub commanders.
-
I meant to say we could have one of these games at the EB
-
O I thought you meant you would provide 40 000 points for one side and the rest of us mortals would for the other :-D
-
Also possible....
I'd have to combine 2 armies though....
-
It would take all night to play that game!
-
It'd that all night to do one turn
-
We could start early one day... it is feasible.
-
Start early one day, and continue all night! While getting gradually more and more drunk. And less clothed.

Business as usual it is...
Not to scare anyone away, the pants stay on...

Yes, but only the pants!
-
Yes, but only the pants!
In your case correct.... :biggriin:
-
I think it's pretty much expected behavior at this point, and therefore totally acceptable!
-
I never said it wasn't.
The Eurobash is open to all, and each individual is encouraged to fully enjoy their game. For you that happens to be half naked... so what ?
-
Hurrah!
That's why the eurobash is so great!
-
Come for the gaming. Stay for the naked Rufus.
-
At this moment I'm wondering if it would be wise to remove some posts, so as not to discourage any newcomers...
-
You probably should.
-
You probably should.
.
-
Ha ha!
-
Too bad only the staff will get that joke....
-
Start early one day, and continue all night! While getting gradually more and more drunk. And less clothed.
That really is a dream of mine. To see you naked dude...
But, yeah. I'm up for a 40.000 point game. We can always pause for the orgy.
-
Must remember to sort out a supply of this ...........
(http://www.ausholland.eu/images/grolschhetkanonfles.jpg)
...................... to take home
I did some swapping/trading with a couple of the Dutch guys last year, and they 'donated' a selection of beers to my collection.
There was a bottle of the above included and I noticed the 11.6% very quickly.
I saved it for a special occasion and drank it on the Sunday before Christmas as we hosted a party 'chez midaski'.
I have to point out that the alcohol intake is not high these days and after no breakfast I opened the bottle around 12.30pm as the guests were about to arrive ......... Mrs Midaski said she was surprised I was quite so cheerful, and I must be getting to like her coven friends ............. and feeling quite merry soon after, I followed it up with some Triple Leffes.
I did get to consume some curry and chilli which probably helped maintain some coherence and avoided a 'rufus' ................. but let's just say taking home one bottle will not be enough this year.
When Christov took Fr1day and I around the wholesalers I don't recall seeing it on their shelves - I suppose a Belgian store selling Dutch beer would be heresy then ..................... :engel:
-
avoided a 'rufus'
Hey! :icon_evil:
-
Official sign up thread now up and stickied !
-
It is very likely that I am going to be able to attend....talked with my new boss and he said even though I am usually not allowed to take any holidays within the first 6 months.....it is fine.
-
Hurrah!
-
And Aldaris we could use my ride with lots of space for armies...and even a third guy should we manage to recruit another German.
-
Just kidnap someone.
-
Soth, in the sign up thread you said its in April, but on the other thread you said may.
Which month is it?
I can't come if its April, baby is due on the 11th

Sorry for bringing this up but Someone should really sig this :::cheers:::
-
We should have a "best of" sticky thread... no signature space can hold the full awesome of Warhammer Empire.
-
Soth, in the sign up thread you said its in April, but on the other thread you said may.
Which month is it?
It must be May, because it would be thursday, friday, saturday if in April!
-
It's May.
I'll correct it.
-
I'm still not sure I can go really.
Ellie is due on 11th April, so if she is induced two weeks late the baby would be three weeks old when I went, and if she had a cesarean I wouldn't be able to go.
-
Are those things likely though?
-
I'm still not sure I can go really.

Well, it's your call, but in your shoes I'd just assume things will go according to plan and book. You can still cancel if things don't work out.
-
Mids!!
If I have worked out the last tiny kinks in my coming to the eurobasheeee, I'll take a few of those boxes with me for you :closed-eyes:
Those are regulars over here!
-
Ok forget the old idea...new idea for an army for the EOW list....I need Halflings....with crossbows.
Any good Halfling models around in doubt I even take bow ones. But nice ones like those Halfling Mercs GW made.
-
Halflings? You're just trying to suck up to rufus, for reasons I can only speculate about.
-
If I go Averlandish, Halflings make the most sense....that way I can go for an Imperial Army with lost of imperial soldiers and halflings so stuff I can use for my regular Empire army too...Greatswords, Halberds, Handgunners and Halflings.
-
im going to use these
http://www.warploqueminiatures.co.uk/products/wrp-044/halfling-archer-militia
they also have ones with halberds and spears!
HAlflings with slings, or with light crossbows and a captain which lets them shoot twice... nice nice.
-
Empire of Halflings!

How do they compare size wise to GW halflings?
-
no idea!
The only GW halflings I have are some fighting cocks- they will be my rangers.
-
Those are nice too I was thinking the black hat ones but their site won´t let me order.
And yes light crossbowy halflings with captain is the way to go! :biggriin:
-
I've got some Black Hat and they are nice enough, but a bit small and a fairly plain sculpt.
GW has two distinct sizes - the old early LotR / Hobbit inspired ones which are quite tiny, and then the later ones that went with the halfpot era.
Those warploque ones also have a touch of the 'ugly' like the BattleForge ones.
-
The black hat are well ugly!
(http://www.blackhat.co.uk/online_shop/images/SHF004.jpg)
I don't really like them, but they are six quid cheaper for 20.
-
I think the ones with bows are okish...have you also seen their dwarves with great weapons?
But I have to agree that your ones are nicer
-
Yeh, I saw the dwarfs with axes and bows, I like them quite a bit.
So..... Halfling captain with quickshot to go with the unit of twenty archers, and the rangers to have slings? Or rangers to have light crossbows with the quick shot captain and the archers on their own
-
I thought two units of 10 rangers with Captain all with light crossbows if people allow me to let them count as composite short bows S4 20 inches or with bows if not.
Shall I get you some of the dwarves won´t do any good this bash but maybe for the next....shipping is rather high and so far I am thinking some halflings and maybe a unit of dwarves too :biggriin: ::heretic:: ::heretic:: ::heretic:: ::heretic:: ::heretic:: someone gave me ideas.

Where is the EOW army list you guys are writing lists from?

Can you have halfling cavalry with light crossbows ............... :engel:
-
Ha ha!
Let's say no, before it all gets out of control!
-
rufus - Have you altered the list at all since April 2011? :icon_question:
I think I copied it off the thread and made a hard copy document - which was what I looked at for hours whilst I was writing my lists ...........
-
I don't think I've changed it since then, no.
I'm going to add halfling wizards, but that's all.

Summon Pie
The Halfling summons a giant pie over an enemy unit, drenching them with scalding-hot gravy and bits of stewbeef. After successful casting, place the large template over an enemy unit within 24" and LOS. Roll the Scatter Die to determine accuracy; if the pie scatters, roll a D6 to determine how many inches (note; this may be reduced by magic items such as Nigella's Spicy Baps). Models under the template take an automatic S4 AP hit (as the hot gravy seeps through their armor). If used on Ogres, any rolls of "1" to wound result in the Ogre unit being healed 1 wound as they feast on the pie (this may not add new models to the unit, although it will reduce wounds suffered).
Hide the Sausage
Taking a sausage and secreting it about his person, the Halfling places an obfuscating cloud of airborne flour, oregano and pasta-steam over a friendly unit. Pick a friendly unit within 12" and LOS - enemies shooting at this unit suffer a -1 to hit until the spell is disspelled.
Butterfingers
Consuming a large buttered muffin, pikelet or other toasted bread product, the Halfling mage targets an enemy unit and makes them clumsy and likely to drop their weapons. Choose an enemy unit in combat and within 24" - this unit must make an I test or drop their weapons and / or shields, forcing them to fight as if equipped with a single handweapon for the duration of the next combat.
Sticky buns
By eating a vast sticky bun, the Halfling summons a morass of royal icing on the floor. Use the flame template with the pointed end touching the Halfling. Any unit touched by the template (friend or foe) finds themselves mired in white frosting and stuck to the floor. They must make a S test or have their M value halved in the next movement phase.
Failed Soufle
The Halfling draws deep into his burried memories of failed cookery, and broadcasts them across the battlefield. Pick any enemy character. The Halfling and the character both roll D6 and add their LD; the one with the lower total takes the difference as automatic wounds with no armor save as the horror and shame of a colapsed soufle overwhelms them. The Halfling may claim appropriate bonus to his roll for magic items such as Gordon Ramsey's Profanasarus.

Will anyone else be bringing Bolt action along with their warhammer stuff?
I'll bring my 1500 points of dirtified nazis.
Commandante... Have you made your special Irish fantasy rules yet?
-
I've got the neccesary minis for Bolt action.
"Some" Germans, British, Americans, Russians and their vehicles...
-
Commandante... Have you made your special Irish fantasy rules yet?
Yes to an extent, I can bring the first draft to the Eurobash.

I'd certainly like to try it, but I don't have an army!

-
Well, use my stuff.

While I had hoped this year might have been my first outing to the Eurobash, I won't be able to make it.
So I'll sigh and just add a hopeful "Next year!".
If I actually would attend in 2014 though, how appropriate would it be to take along a 6 year old (boy)?

I'll bring my wife (teacher and ex nanny) and run a creche with my two 'uns.
You just have to pay for us to attend ;)

Really? I thought your children were all a couple of years older. That does simplify matters, but not the reasons why I can't attend this year!
-
My kids are atm 7, 6 and 4. In two months 8, 6 and 5.
-
My boy turned 5 two weeks ago, his little sister will become 4 in July.
-
So what is the reason then that you can't attend this year Batworm?
Can't be transportation at least.... (hint)
-
Commandante... Have you made your special Irish fantasy rules yet?
Yes to an extent, I can bring the first draft to the Eurobash.
Well... what I suggest is the following:
Basic warhammer fantasy rules: you create your Irish rules and I'll create a Scottish list.
2500 points... obviously.
I've not penned anything down as of yet, but there are various intimidating ideas bubbling to be typed.
If you want a teaser taste of units to come, let me know. I'll gladly let everyone have a sneak preview of the drama that awaits you!!!
-
I look forward to seeing the Haggis catapult and the deep fried Mars bar health potion.
-
.... and the bare-arsed Posnan .............
{Posnan - Look it up - it's a football thing}
-
.... and the bare-arsed Posnan .............

Since the new club is on the ground floor that might be statically possible.

The Scottish era lasted from 300 AD to now.
And I"m gonna have to enlist troops from various armies to portray the true horror of what's comin' yer way.
-
So what is the reason then that you can't attend this year Batworm?
Can't be transportation at least.... (hint)
No, transportation shouldn't be a problem (but thanks for the hint). It's mainly due to my wife having been sick these past 2 months, both children being in an annoying phase at the moment, things being busy at work, not having a lot of financial leeway atm and probably most importantly of all: Me not having seriously invested time in Warhammer the past 3 years or so.
2012 was supposed to be the year to get that ball rolling again. Finally getting the gaming table in the attic (nearly there though). Playing games again (I barely know 7th Ed.), painting, converting etc.
So that's what I'm aiming for this year! :icon_mrgreen:
All my gaming friends are in a similar situation (small kids, bought a house these last few years etc.) so I'm going to stoke the fire. It worked with starting up the roleplaying group again and I think it'll work with WHFB as well. I need that gaming table though! :icon_mrgreen:

You'll need to be clearer than that. There was a big difference between the Irish troops of the O'neills and those of say 1798.
I should be bring along the first draft of my table top system as well if anybody is interested

The army will consist of regiments of stand-ins who will be sort of recognisable as that which they portray.
It's the army specialisms which will hopefully become legend (or a complete embarassment).

I was hoping you were actually going to field Billy Connolly. Not a model, the man himself.

I'm considering an army of these guys
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallowglass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallowglass)
Or maybe one of the type commanded by Eoghan Roe O Neill

Not sure I can or should go.

There'll be plenty more bashes - probably a lot more than you'll have children.
However it makes no real difference to the travel - the tunnel is a fixed cost for the car.
Unless Hell freezes over and Mogsam or DWhitey actually want to come the seat will still have your name on it.
The exact number of Hotel rooms tend also allows for a double or single occupation, so you can leave the final decision to quite close.
I am sure rufus and I can cover the extra "Mr Grumpy" allocation if you do stay with the family.
I'm going to try and book the tunnel fairly soon - and will aim for the same sort of times as last year.
-
Just poor timing of conception. We set a window for when we wanted the baby, (a bit later!) and figured it would take a while to conceive. Ellie got pregnant after literally the first time we tried.
I think I'm going to say I wont go.
So for soth booking rooms, and if anyone wants a seat on the car, go for it.
Then if there is space in the car and hotel and things are ok at the time I can decide to come last minute.
Ellie is saying if it was a few weeks later would probably make all the difference- so maybe the baby will be early!
-
Allright, so this is the plan : Fr1day and Midaski convince their wives to go and take care of yours, you come play with us.
There, problem solved.

Here is something from Novi Sad, Serbia, Host of ETC 2013 :engel:

I cant go!
=(
I'll be working extended hours, and I'm attending a JiuJitsu tournament in June. Financially things are tight this year and I can't justify the expense.
Anyone up for a Holiday Bash?
-Grutch
-
This is a repeat post from the sticky.
I am going to Salute on Saturday - so if anyone wants anything now is a good time to ask.
http://www.salute.co.uk/salute/salute-2013/
For example, I really like the 4Ground stuff http://www.4ground.co.uk/
I have some of their Dark Age 28mm stuff which is nice, but I have just started making a couple of their American Legends Western / FYI cabins and the fact that they are providing what is essentially a wood building makes them even better.
[DWhitey has some pics in his B&P thread I think]
Buy £300 worth or more of 4Ground products from our 4Ground show stand on the day, at Salute and you instantly get 35% off their cost.
£200 worth of 4Ground products you get a 25% discount.
£125 worth of 4Ground products you get a 15% discount.
£50 worth of 4Ground products and you will still get a 10% discount there and then!
That’s £300 worth of products for only £195!?!
Please note: this can only last as long as we have the stock on our stand at the show.
I've not seen much in the way of discounted deals on their stuff before.
I have some stuff on my target list, but if anybody wishes to add anything on for delivery at the Bash please speak up now.
Or if you see any other deals you want me to take advantage of.

I think I'm going to bring a dwarf army.
Anvil of doom: still useful? Or not?
-
no more goblins and crazy squids?
-
I've brought them two years running! I can't always play the same thing.
-
There is that, mind you I am bringing an Empire of Wolves list so people might know what to expect.
-
I think I've forgotten everything about that list, so I won't know what to expect.
I'm not sure I actually enjoy playing dwarfs. But on the other hand, they are probably my best looking army, and the games are usually short.
-
...and the games are usually short.
:eusa_clap:
-
:happy:
Anvil is pretty much the only way to play dwarves without giving the free victory away to your enemy....on the other hand if you roll a double one (miscast and worst result) the anvil with the head honcho is gone.
If we two play and you don´t want to play we can discuss what I should field for a fun game.
-
I did use the anvil on the two occasions I took dwarfs to tournaments. But that was in 6th or 7th edition, so a while back now. The anvil's lightning was good for nuking annoying elf skirmishers and things like that.
I do hate that it can blow itself up so easily. Major fluff issue!
If we two play and you don´t want to play we can discuss what I should field for a fun game.
Not nuking me off the table with magic would do it. Though that goes for any game of 8th edition.
The magic system is no fun! If I want a game where everything is decided by massively powerful spells, I'll just play Magic (the card game) which takes fifteen minutes to play and is a better game anyway.
-
So as long as I avoid metal, life, shadow,or death magic there are no nuke spells but augments that are really good.
-
Actually I just hate all the spells!
-
then you should be rather comfy with dwarves they can have a rather strong magical defense crushing all but the most potent magic phases.
-
I'll probably go massively anti-magic. I hate the magic phase in warhammer and would prefer to skip it!
-
I did use the anvil on the two occasions I took dwarfs to tournaments. But that was in 6th or 7th edition, so a while back now. The anvil's lightning was good for nuking annoying elf skirmishers and things like that.
I do hate that it can blow itself up so easily. Major fluff issue!
If we two play and you don´t want to play we can discuss what I should field for a fun game.
Not nuking me off the table with magic would do it. Though that goes for any game of 8th edition.
The magic system is no fun! If I want a game where everything is decided by massively powerful spells, I'll just play Magic (the card game) which takes fifteen minutes to play and is a better game anyway.
An il is excellent.
Miners charging in turn two.
Rangers... With a hero with the rune of challenge... Combat in round one!
And heroes with the rune of brotherhood... So they join miners or rangers and that with the anvil... Oh yes!
Stone thrower with a master engineer: S5 and re-rollable dice...
What's not to like? Fastest army out there!
Unless the an il fails and the enemy flees from the rune of challenge...
Then it's hell.

This is what I'm thinking of plYing at the bash.
I'm planning on using waved attacks (1st assault, 2nd and then third). Never tried it before, nor do I have any idea as of yet how succesful it's gonna be.
So, tips, tricks, hints and definate no-no's I hope will help better the assault game plan.
1st wave:
Daemon prince of Nurgle: 395 points
Wings
Charmed shield
Flaming breath
Scaled skin
Chaos armour
lvl 1 lore of Nurgle (for stream of corruption)
Chimera: 275 points
Flaming breath
Regeneration
Diverters and warmachine hunters:
5x marauder horsemen with flails and a musician: 90 points
5x marauder horsemen with flails and a musician: 90 points
5x dogs with vanguard: 40 points
2nd wave:
Nurgle Sorcerer lvl 2: 215 points
Chaos familiar
Daemonic mount
5x Nurgle knights with full command and ensorcelled weapons: 255 points
3x Dragon ogres with great weapons: 204 points
Chaos chariot with steeds: 110 points
3rd wave and fail safe:
Chaos lord of Nurgle (general): 315 points
Sword of battle
Helm of many eyes
Talisman of protection
23 Nurgle warriors with full command and halberds: 486 points
BSB with halberd: 194 points
Armour of destiny
23 marauders with full command and flails: 222 points
Chaos warshrine: 125 points
Total: 3016 points (so something's gotta give)
----------------------------------------------------
I like trying different tactics. And after a long hard think, this is what I've come up with for my chaos army (still got to buy the flying chicken though).
I reckon that the 1st wave should attract enough attention to let the horsemen and warhounds do what they need to do.
The second wave is basically a grinding wave, suited to take on anything fast coming my way or to whittle down an opponent who looks nasty enough to hurt the warriors.
The list is quite low on magic: 5 spells in total. I hope the first wave (and if not, then the second) should be enough to hurt the enemy's magic capability and the fast cav should be able to keep artillery at bay.
Let me know what you think!
Cheers.

By the way...
Are we playing 3000 points matches or boring old 2400 point games?

Yes and than kick some High Elf butt...never underestimate his tactical acumen... even though I think I fell asleep during the fight and suddenly his army was all over me.

I wonder if I should bring some 40K stuff after all. The problem is, I don't really know the new rules, and I've only enjoyed about a third of the games I've played. But I like the idea of it!

You should. The games I've played in 6th still can be counted on one hand as well, so I guess we all will suck with the rules. So what? It'll be fun!
And a chance for revenge!
:-D
-
Bring em....Aldaris will show us how to play and there will be different armies.
-
I can't bring a lot of stuff though. 1500 points maximum maybe. And no stormraven (takes up too much space!).
Are dreadnoughts a complete waste of time? They are light and fairly small and would use up some points!
-
I will bring gazillion Chimeras..and might be unable to find my codex in my mess but I think Aldaris will have IG too.
:happy:
-
I don't like being shot at on turn one! 90% chance of rage quit. :icon_razz:

Topless some beers later I think the chances for this are reduced.....only problem could start once I cast some Deatch magic reducing your S and T.

But I'm giving up drinking!

Do it. You can already subtly start working on securing your girls approval.

It was amicable though.

Are most people going 2500 points for warhammer?
At some point I'll have to think about making an army list.
Gyrocopters are quite bad for the cost, aren't they? I used two last time I played and I think it was too many.

Is is 2500 points or 2999 points. If I am only making 2500 points I don't need to paint as many models and I am as good at painted models as Midaski is a making lists :)
-
Huh, 2999 is just more weight to carry. I'll stick to 2500.

I'm taking a 2000, 2500 and a 3000 point list. I'm not gonna use 3 rare choices anyhoo...
Gyrocopters are quite cool. Especially against T3 opponents.
And they look brilliant.
-

They do look good! I think that was my main reason for using them last time. Might use both then.
I actually have two more unpainted ones. I hope the new book has them in squadrons or something. It would fit with the ridiculous way they do army books now!

That would actually be a return to ye olden dwarf day! :icon_surprised:

Steam driven chariot with the same rule as miners!

Anything huge and impossible to transport that costs 40 quid.

I would have loved to attend the Bash this year but it isn't any less packed with stupid real life stuff than the last, so I can't. I do hope you all have a great time and get enough games in. I really must find a way to make it possible next year...somehow.
Bear Cavalry!
Beer Cavalry! :-D

I'm going to get as many runesmiths and dispel runes as possible and make sure no one casts any spells!
-
Hey I could bring a dwarf army ............... mine are from the Black Mountains ................. in their all black camouflage ................... mind you I haven't got a list yet .....................
:engel:

Unpainted! :icon_eek:
I might take an even more extreme anti-magic position and not use any runes at all. I hate spending points on that rubbish!

Point of Order
I did not say "Fandir Grey"
Black is painted - undercoat is still paint, and they are very PC dwarfs - careful to make sure they all feel equal. :engel:

Dude... miners!
Anvil, 2 large units of miners... stick your lord and BSB in the miners (so they don't start the game) and a large unit of longbeard rangers with great weapons... and a character with the rune of challenge (so you can force an opponent to charge you).
EVERYONE tells you it can't work. And last year I won at least half the games I played. And I was a drunk insomniac with a migraine the whole bloody time. Sober... nigh on unbeatable (because people using generic lists don't usually anticipate opposing an army which isn't there at the start of the battle).
In a drug induced, yet oddly poetic, delirium, I once muttered: "the tactic is called target denial".
I was going to add: "because the enemy doesn't know what to do when there's nothing there to go for.". Alas, by the time I got around to adding it, I was already nose deep in Cadbury's chocolate and salt 'n' vinegar crisps.
-
I "won" because we played a scenario and you didn't read it properly.
whereas you had totally owned my army.
-
I won because my Assassin was being an asshole to the Anvil crew.
If that hadn't worked it might have gone quite differently.
-
I probably lost, but I don't really remember.
I don't have any miners! Well, I have about five painted ones. So I can't do that.
I'll just shoot things with two organ guns.
-
I won through overweight tactics.... :closed-eyes:
-
I lost to those dwarfs only because of very bad rolling in a battle that was going my way which then ended up with half my army running off the board.. then there was no holding those miners anymore..
Might need a rematch on those actually!
-
I lost to that list when the weib was using it...and had to make an entrance to an Eurobash in a bathrobe and a tiara of the girls.
Yes Miner, Ranger, Anvil Dwarves are mighty strong.
Also I think I won´t use a single mage against Rufus. :::cheers:::
-

I might not bring dwarfs. They suck.
Unfortunately, the only alternatives are orcs again (rubbish magic, animosity causing game-losing charges) or Empire (hate the latest army book).
Also, I think I've forgotten how to play warhammer.

Good.
Alternatively, use something of mine.

Well, one reason I don't is that my army theme is the sea hold of Barak Varr!

Ah, that's true up to a point! It was a 7th edition army, and has almost no infantry. No good now! And it's not all painted anyway.

Could do!

Working on my 2000 points of CSM/IG right now... although I think I'll call it an evening soon.

Well, we can't ALL be aware of stuff like "Scouting" and such nonsense.
:wink:
-
Dwarfs finally have better artillery than the Empire (until they get a new book which will probably ruin it all). Dwarf cannon = 90 points! 125 with the rune of re-roll both artillery dice! And it no longer does d3 wounds.
Too bad the flame cannon doesn't work any more, but who needs it.

Ha ha, is that your sneaky skaven trick? Scouting?
The anvil is quite hard to kill... especially if you entrench it. Did you just tie it up in combat so it couldn't use the runes?

The anvil is quite hard to kill... especially if you entrench it. Did you just tie it up in combat so it couldn't use the runes?
Yeah. But the little rat managed to destroy it too.
In round one or so he had his scout in close combat. And the anvil only serves one purpose in that army... so it wasn't equipped to do anything.
Normally it uses runes up to round 4 before it's in combat.
Nowadays, when I play dwarves, I keep a slayer-hero nearby the anvil and the stone thrower (rune of accuracy, 2x rune of +1 strength and an engineer-hero: expensive 175 points roughly, but re-rolling artillery and scatter dice with a S5 magical attack template weapon is sooooo cool).
The single little slayer-hero has proven his points multiple times.
Another question:
I generally frown (and since I normally look like I'm frowning, when I actually do frown, it's a pretty serious affair) on the use of special characters.
HOWEVER... Festus the Leechlord... cheaper than a regular LvL 2 sorcerer-hero (if you give it some magic, etc.)... and the whole unit he's in gets regeneration (5) and poisoned attacks.
Would anyone point at me and laugh if I added him in my army?
(I probably won't anyways, just wondering).
-
But the little rat managed to destroy it too.
Oh! Were you using the updated anvil rules from the dwarf errata? The whole thing uses the runelord's stats and saves in close combat.
The slayer guard is a good plan. I was going to do that.

Yes! But I was going to anyway.

Anvil update:
Replace the rules for the Anvil of Doom with the following:
M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Anvil of Doom - - - - 10 5* - - -
Runelord 3 6 4 4 5 3 3 2 9
Anvil Guard 3 5 3 4 5 1 2 1 9
Unit Type:War Machine
Crew: The Anvil has a crew consisting of a Runelord and two
Anvil Guards.
*Remove one Anvil Guard model when the first Wound is
inflicted on the Anvil of Doom, the second Anvil Guard when
the second Wound is inflicted, but only remove the Runelord
when the fifth Wound is inflicted as, unlike the other crew, he
has three Wounds not just one.
Special Rules
Unbreakable.
Anvil of Doom: A Dwarf army may have one Anvil of Doom.
The Anvil is a war machine that cannot be moved. The Anvil
receives two attacks for the Runelord, instead of one attack as
would normally be the case for a war machine. Use the best
Weapon Skill, armour and ward saving throw available to any
surviving member of the crew against all wounds that are
suffered by the Anvil. The crew receive a 4+ ward save
against missile fire and ranged magical attacks, and a 6+ ward
save against close combat attacks.
Dispel Dice: The Anvil adds one dispel dice to the Dwarfs dice
pool in the opponent’s Magic phase.
The ‘Striking Runes on the Anvil of Doom’ special rules are
used unchanged.
-
I'll see If I bring a 2k 2,5k and a 2.999 points list with. No Special Characters for me and would appreciate that if any does field SC's to have modded lists to not let them count. I did find out that some SC's versus a normal list brings some imbalance to the game.

I won through overweight tactics.... :closed-eyes:

I've played two games! And I'll still be using my foot-slogging Space Wolves with almost no missile launchers and lots of blood claws². Can I join? :wink:
I don't know the rules very well but would like to play so I'll bring my SW's anyway. But I have it easy, I only have to drive a couple of miles and don't have to pack my army for a train ride and a ride in the Midaski-Mobilteam. I'm also planning on bringing Empire, HE's and Ogres, but a lot will depend on what I get painted in time.
² I might add some IG allies though

That was another game. Against Fr1days' WoC. And I honestly thought he was playing 3000 as well, until someone came by and asked how many points we played and he replied 2500 and I 3000... :biggriin: :biggriin: :biggriin:

Yeah I remember. We were playing a 2v2 Empire-Orcs game on the next table, and when I passed I wondered how big the Ogre army was compared to those WoC... Poor chaps.

I'v ejust bought the remaining units for my WoC army. Not going to get them all painted but they will be undercoated at least.

6 warriors in fc
daemon prince

chimera
3 dragon ogres
4 trolls
oh my !

Get them painted! You still have a week!

right oh!

No idea if all 2000 points of CSM/IG will be painted. I just put down the brush for today, I'm exhausted.
So knowing you too have issues getting it all done is a great comfort!

I'm doing SW/IG. Man i still got lots to paint. Plus, apparently the paints have changed and it is ****ing hard to get consistently the same colour as my other SW's. Stupid changes.
Empire are OK (demigryphs aren't finished but oh well), Ogres OK, HE's still a lot to do too. I still haven't got round to painting my *very white* lions... Maybe I should just bring Skaven instead but I guess others will take them and I'd like to try the new HE book.
-
I got 5 marauders done tonight ready to dip, 5 more tomorrow.
Even if I paint 5 men or a monster a night I'm still going to be short I think. It's the re basing 30 bear men marauders that I really don't fancy.
I've only got 1850 pts of marines done.

Couple more 'pacters and Autocannon Havocs to go. After that I'll see if I can find the time for basing.
Not today though.

I can actually manage a fairly respectable 40K list at 1850 points! The trick is not taking a lot of grey knights, because they suck.
Now I need a dwarf list.

If you're taking missile units, take Xbow dwarfs and give them great weapons too.
If you have three warmachines, then it's just for fluff.
You only need an anvil if you're gonna use miners and want them charging crom the start.
Give one of your units the banner which gives them and units within 6" a 5+ wardsave against shooting and magic missiles.
There's a banner which gives you extra movement. And use the rune of challenge on a unit of rangers: 30 longbeard rangers with GW's with a thane with he rune of challenge is brilliant when placed 12" from an enemy.

Thanks, that was helpful!
I've now made my dwarf list as well, and packed both (embarrassingly dusty) armies into one case (it's very heavy). I still have a supplemental cardboard box containing 40K transports to go in my backpack, but that's all. Not too bad!
I had to unpack about twenty billion goblins from the case and find somewhere else to put them, which was, of course, loads of fun. I hate packing/unpacking!
Still, it's all done now.
-
Question: If we are playing 2500 points do you think 40 warriors of ulric [well 39 + general] is enough?
-
Yes! Too many even.
If I see a lot of armies with gigantic units I will be sad.
-
I can split them into smaller units if needed. I might bring more command groups than units though. Though I do think big units are the way to go, not least because they can have cool s***e
-
I've got a unit of 50 marauders, big units for the win!
I haven't even started packing my army, hell, nearly half of it hasn't even arrived yet. It's in the post from dark sphere. I did get my bel'a'kor from GW direct today.
Going to try and get 5 more marauders done tonight along with some washes on my gore east unit filler.
-
I'm finishing off my BSB.
And what a model!!!
-
Obviously big units are good. They're too good, and it's boring!
-
Another 10 hours of painting done. I might actually get this shit done if I keep this pace up.
I must have painted at least 20-25 hours since thursday. And since I'm not actually fond of painting, I expect lots of "oooohs" and "aaaahs" at the Bash, or I'm gonna sulk something fierce!
:-D
-
Obviously big units are good. They're too good, and it's boring!
Big units have certain advantages. One just has to see a way of cirumventing those certain advantages.
And you know the saying: The bigger the unit, the more points they cost when they flee off the table!
-
And since I'm not actually fond of painting, I expect lots of "oooohs" and "aaaahs" at the Bash, or I'm gonna sulk something fierce!
OK, I'll try to remember that!
And you know the saying: The bigger the unit, the more points they cost when they flee off the table!
Huh, if they do! More likely they just get whittled down to a handful but don't give up any points.
Anyway, my dwarfs are limited by necessity to 30 dwarfs per unit.
-
I think we need some set house rules for the bash.
1) Units flanked by a ranked unit lose steadfast
2) Units below 50% give up half vp
3) Units fleeing at the ned of the game are considered destroyed
4) 7th edition vp table to decide who wins
5) No TLOS
Any others? Discuss
I ccan print it up and laminate them and put one on each table so there is no confusion.
-
Could do!
I might need a quick list change to put oathstones in then.
-
I like it!!!
-
Me too maybe also max four power dice for a spell.

I like TLOS. But I'm willing to concede that point if my opponent doesn't.
Max 4 PD per spell: no thanks.
But we could do one other: Characters get a LO,S! roll against spells like Dwellers that affect every model in a unit. Basically, treat it like a big template that covers the whole unit.
-
I HATE TLOS.
1) Ranked unit of at least a quarter their own strength ? or alternatively at least US 10.
-
But we could do one other: Characters get a LO,S! roll against spells like Dwellers that affect every model in a unit. Basically, treat it like a big template that covers the whole unit.
I'd rather that Magic resistance worked against spells like Dwellers and T-test games, etc (ward saves).
-
That would be fine too. Magic resistance is pretty damn useless the way it is currently.
-
Maybe before each game players should discuss house rules?
Me I'd quite like a return of the +1 to hit large targets.
-
Maybe before each game players should discuss house rules?
That's a given anyway. There are no hard and fast rules at the bash one way or the other.
-
I like the idea of a print with house-rules.
And you either play un-house-ruled or house-ruled.
Perhaps a division on the print-out:
A, B and C.
However, that's gonna get very complicated...

1) ok
2) ok
3) ok / maybe half vp if the unit has the ability to rally?
4) 8th ed VP table is fine by me.
5) fine with me as this point always starts some kind of discussion anyway.
-
It's been ages since I played anyway, so I've probably forgotten all the rules.
I don't think I've ever added up victory points in an 8th edition game anyway!
-
I'm not sold on the 4pd per spell either.
I do agree on the +1 to hit large targets
Personelly I think if you're broken your broken at the end of the game
Soth: there is no unit strength anymore I thought. A ranked unit is as defined in the book. Tow ranks of 5 cavalry or infantry or two ranks of three MI.
The 8th cp table is, for me, one of the worst things of 8th. You either win or lose. There is no variance in terms of victory and drawing is nearly impossible.
I also like the change of MR to save against any spell damage. Should that join the list.
-
I love the amendments, and you should all play that way.
-
Ok lets drop the 4 power dice but I am in strong favour for the other rules and the Magic resistance against everything even killer spells AND 2+ look out sir for characters.
-
MR as a ward against spells would actually make it good again! It would even be worth taking!
-
I would be up for four dice max, and also no magic terrain!
-
Nah, 4 dice max makes some spells as good as useless. But if MR2 gives a 5+ ward against those killer spells I think balance in that regard will be fine!
Remember, throwing 5+ dice makes it very likely you're taking a hit too.
Let'S not go overboard, please. 8th edition is pretty damn good with some small exceptions. I dislike playing with 2 pages of house rules, because it usually just means everyone throws their personal "and I don't like THAT bit!" in there and it ends a mess. I think the original proposals plus LO,S! against spells and MR working the way we discussed is way enough.
-
But Magic Resistance only and not added with the regular ward save...otherwise people will hate the High Elves incredibly.
I never understood why they added it up anyway.....just Magic Resistance against magic but against all spells even the killer ones.
-
But Magic Resistance only and not added with the regular ward save...
Easy. It's a separate ward save, it isn't cumulative, the higher one counts were both are potentially applicable.
-
Nobody has ever used magic resistance. It may as well not exist!
-
I used it ...as I like the witch hunter for the Empire and he gets it for free :happy:
5+ ward against magic missles isn´t that bad
But I think we should add it as stated....works against all magic damage (yes also miscasts ...HA take that Rufus!) but doesn´t stack with regular ward saves...which would also mean no 2+ ward save for Skaven Seer on Bell (no sane rat would do that anyway).
-
Sorted then.
MR or standard ward, then take the best.
Characters get LOS plus the others I said earlier
I'll print out and laminate them tomorrow
Painting continues. I have finished the gore beast unit filler and the chariot frame.
I hope the other units arrive tomorrow. I really want to finish the warriors.
-
works against all magic damage (yes also miscasts ...HA take that Rufus!)
Veto.
-
Just kidding let miscasts do their charm...and it shouldn´t work against magical weapons either.
I think we can all agree to leave magical terrain out of it too.
-
What's magic terrain?
Also having MR on a wizard is wrong so defo no miscast saves.
-
What's magic terrain?
'This forest is made of blood skulls of blood' and all that.
-
Never heard of it! There is a missing few pages in my book that had some kind of poppy cock in it when I got it, which I threw away. Magic terrain my arse. What's wrong with a good old fashioned hill or wood.
-
Poppycock????
-
No adding Wardsaves to MR... I agree.
Don't know what you all mean with his TLOS malarkey... But I'll probably agree.
I don't like the +1 for large targets.
There is some serious shooting... An army with helblasters, for example, would get a much unneeded power-lift.
-
We play magical terrain as follows :
Pick terrain, throw a die for each piece, on a 6 it's magical and you randomly determine which appropriate one.
-
I saw the “four dice limit” thing mentioned on the HE site. This guy uses it, but only for some lores. I think it’s a good idea really, as they did mess up magic while trying to make it less powerful. Of course it does change the game substantially, especially for magic users. While helping dwarves a lot! (not saying you should use it, just general commenting)
The steadfast broken with flank charges is also a big change to the game. But I think with this added alone, 8th becomes soooooo much better.
Sad I won’t be there, especially seeing the house rules- makes warhammer look a lot more appealing to me, but I made the right choice. Violet is a bit of a pain! And I can start saving up for next year now!

So do I, actually. But only you and Ellie can really answer that. It all depends on so many different factors.
For example, when we moved into our current house, I left for Germany in the morning from one house, let my wife and the movers do all the work, and returned in the new house... Some pepole would find that inacceptable, but An didn't mind, and there were really no other options, so...
-

There are not that many large targets and
a: It would be good for handgunners and various other BS shooting which is quite weak
and [more importantly]
b: It makes sense
-
40K houserules!
1: no fliers (because I can't bring one).
2: no 'first blood' victory points, because it's ridiculous.
3: skip that randomly determined warlord power thing! I'm still annoyed about rolling one up that did absolutely nothing.

Hey, no! I got a flier. Finally. And really really want to use it. It's painted! It's nice! And yes incidentally, it flies.
Of common Rufus, you're just afraid of me beating you at 40K (after the ass-kicking you gave my Space Pups last year). :wink: Wanna have a game? Then we can both suck at knowing the rules.
And I got to admit, I rather like the random warlord thing. Granted I'd rather have some of the powers toned down so they're really only there for adding some character to your warlord, and then making it so you can chose one (for points, perhaps). Would be much more fun. But they're not that bad as it is, it's just odd your warlord is an expert in something else every other game.

1. Hell no to that! If I scale down I scale down, no problem. I'll also leave it out as requested, maybe. But I'll be damned if I spent all that time painting the damn thing for nothing.
:wink:
2. yeah, we can talk about that.
3. veto.
@ Shav: yes, yes. We all get you don't like 40K. No one will force you to play, promise!
-
Does MR stack?
-
Does MR stack?
No, best one counts (as with MR and Ward save)
-
I've decided not to bring my 40K stuff. It's too much hassle to carry it as well as the dwarfs.
Plus, I don't actually enjoy it.
-
:cry:
-
It's for the best though. I have a terrible record of genuine rage over 40K games! Just ask Finlay.
-
:unsure: and sulking!
-
Hey!
But that's true, yes.
-
I also got a little surprise coming up soon (maybe tonight, but atleast this week somewhere) so stay tuned :happy:
Well the small surprise took a little longer then I wished for, but it's done before we are actually doing the '13 bash!
It's my forlast battle report from last year against Aldaris!!
to be viewed here (http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=33259.msg818492#msg818492)
The last battle report will be a shorter one (only pictures no notes) against Little and Big Phil
Deamons + High Elves versus my Empire and Rat's Skaven. But I don't have time to do that before the Bash now (house stuff in the way... new floor coming Thursday)
-
Hey, nice!
:::cheers:::
-
Nice, albeit a little tardy. ;-)
Right, only a few days to go!
- Ogre Kingdoms: 3 leadbelchers to paint
- HE's: as ready as possible, but my white lions and ellyrian reavers will be unfinished... Oh well.
- Empire: flaggies' and greatswords' bases to do, otherwise OK. I'll field an infantry/knight/artillery army since my chicken knights won't be finished...
- SW's (and IG allies): land speeder to paint (it's in SW colours, the rest are in 13th company colours) + some bases to do
Looking good but still some work!
Who's bringing 40K, btw? SInce Rufus isn't going to bring a 40K army, will there be enough to make it worth taking it with me? I hope so, 'cause I put a lot of work in it and want to try out the new (well, to me anyway) rules.
-
@ Shav: yes, yes. We all get you don't like 40K. No one will force you to play, promise!
Do you want to buy my Tallarn / Taliban Imperial guard models?
A genuine Bin Laden character as general.
Excellent camel riders as cavalry...
A walker.
A trooptransporter.
3 Forge world Tallarn weapon teams
1 Forge world Tallarn sniper team
About 40 or Taliban imperial guards (non-GW models).
Fully painted in wasted desert colours.

Oh dear, I feel bad now!
Is your flier a vendetta? I bet it is!
-
It's not! It's a Valkyrie.
-
Oh! The non-cheaty option!
-
Fandir will bring 40K, Adam, cisse and me. At least. I seem to remember one or two others saying they'd bring stuff too. Plus there might also be club members who're up for a game, so bringing this stuff should definitely be worth it.
@Shav: thanks for the offer, but that wouldn't really fit into my force, neither model nor paint job wise!
:wink:
Oh! The non-cheaty option!
...which is way better at killing masses of infantry. Both Vendetta and Valk are underpriced compared to other flyers, but "cheaty"?
-
The vendetta is ridiculously underpriced! It's a joke.
About the only thing that makes it look fair is the fact that most people can ally one in.

True, the vendetta is I think the cheapest way of getting three twin-linked lascannons (even if it's at BS3 only), and it's on a flier to boot.
I modelled my flier with rocket pods/missiles (magnetized) and heavy bolters in the doors. Looks cool!
I can still make it "count as" a vendetta if need be, I guess.

Good! Anyone dare to come up against my space pups with flashlight-toting allies? :-)
I'm reading a bit through the WH40K rulebook though, 'cause my knowledge of the rules is sketchy at best.

I've found 3 old magic decks!
If people are up for multi-player games... count me in!

I guess I will buy another couple of boxes as long as they are still available on the GW site
-
Right!
I have 4 army lists:
2500 points of chaos
2999 points of chaos
2999 points of chaos (experimental list... probably, if most people play 2999 / 3000 this is the one I'll be using).
1000 points Bolt Action Wehrmacht.
But more importantly... my army will be arriving in the bestest box of them all!
Oh yes, my wife (who's a jazz singer and an artist) has made a special Nurgle box pour moi!!!
I shall see you on Friday.
I don't know what the Frick're doing on the poor bugger, but that's where I'll see you.

Actually, what size are you guys aiming for? I have 2,5K and 3K WHFB lists, and a 2K WH40K list.
-
40K Chaos Space Marines / Blood Pact (Imperial Guard). 2000 points and less.
Fantasy Skaven, 3000 points and less.

Mordheim

Yes, Commander Bernhardt and me will play Mordheim.
So, bring a Warband and join us!
-
I still have an undead Mordheim warband packed in a box that I took last year but forgot about. I could bring it again.
I've definitely forgotten the rules though. I hope someone has the book!
-
Don't have a Mordheim band, but I could bring my Necromunda Delaque gang.
Other than that, I am interested in Bolt Action as well, as previously stated. Luckily, Soth is an awesome host with an awesome model collection!
-
What's bolt action? Some sort of WWII thing?
-
yes
-
Yes, Commander Bernhardt and me will play Mordheim.
So, bring a Warband and join us!
Is Mordheim hard to learn? I've been intrigued by it for a while now, but never have found the time to play.
I'd imagine that with a few well-chosen miniatures, a warband is quickly put together from an average collection?
-
Yes you can basically just use your regular models especially when playing with friends....when you know how to play Warhammer Mordheim is rather easy.

If you have an Empire Army (which you do), you can easily create and Mercenarie warband.
The basics of the game are like Warhammer, with a few additions to make it workable with the smaller scale and terrain.
I would say, join us in a game or two to get an impression. :smile2:

At last, Dracula has come out of his castle to compete in Eurrovision.
I enjoyed Greece. They at least incorporated some cultural instruments. Malta, Spain, Sweeden were hits with the rest of my friends that were watching with me.
-
Is anyone playing Warhammer?
I do hope so. It feels like everyone is down on it at the moment which is sad because I am pretty upbeat about it. If so I hope you are taking plenty of pics and they will be appearing here at some point!
-
Who is down on it? I have been painting all day!
Well, other than writing awesome haiku's to Mathi!
-
Is anyone playing Warhammer?
Hell yeah, at least twice a month.
Lost a few players to Bolt Action and 40K but got a few in return with new armies.
I want pics damn it! :dry:
-

You just made a thread about how you were giving it up!!

I really meant at the bash... but good to know! I wish I could play twice a month. Takes a lot of work to get other people organised to do it though! I probably average once a month...ish...
-
I think philly means hell yeah been painting 40k.
Siby, the bash is fantasy dominated.
-
I do hope so! I was worried everyone would just be playing 40k and magic from the conversations I have glimpsed!
I think philly means hell yeah been painting 40k.
Well he must have misread then cos I definitely said Warhammer :-P. (Ok, so this is just a pet peeve of mine, people referring to 40K as Warhammer and Warhammer as 'Fantasy'. I dunno if it's an American thing as lots of people round here do it). To me it's a little like when people call army books a codex... ::heretic::. :-P
-
Na, I think only four or so people took forty k, everyone except Midaski took warhammrr
-
I think philly means hell yeah been painting 40k.
Siby, the bash is fantasy dominated.
Yeah, 40k.
You didn't specify Siby! I thought you were implying they were playing Magic. Warhammer is both 40k and Fantasy!
-
I totally did specify. Warhammer is called Warhammer. If I was meaning 40k I would have said that. Warhammer isn't called Warhammer Fantasy!
Ok, I know I am being annoying. But it's a forum so I am allowed!
I wish you had started these eurobashes before I left England! I could have represented the minotaurs properly! Fin, do you still have your beast army?
-
If by 'army' you mean minotaur, one box of gors and a chariot, then yeh.
-
That's all you ever had? I thought I remembered you posting loads in the beast thread but I have a notoriously bad memory so who knows! (Well, you do)
-
Actually I think I bought a bunch of nurgle gor and ungor from ebay, which I really liked the paintjob. But think I sold some on my last purge. Maybe you thought I had more because I posted photos of every gor I painted!
I didn’t like what they did with the army, I wanted them to be more bestial and less chaos, and iirc, they made them more chaos. And I didn’t like any of the new units, and disliked the new minotaur models. Although an ambushing army always appealed to me. Did you say you do ok with them?
-
Not in an uber competetive environment I will admit, though I face Slann Lizard armies a lot with life magic which gives me nightmares. Usually that, Empire or Dwarfs for the most part.
My 50 gors horde are just amazing, I love them. Plus bestigors hit above their stats to my mind. I was unsure about them for a long time but they usually kick butt. I think what I like about the current list is all the chaff and how cheap it is, plus all the variois uses. Lone razors, chariots, raiders and harpies. All pretty cheap and I often take a bunch of them. They just do all the fiddly stuff and let my big guys do the damage.
I will admit that I was a big lover of the old skirmish units so I miss those. I thought it really suited what beasts are supposed to be. But I semi adapted that into my new units with fillers and whatnot to give more of a rabble feel.
Main things I think make me look forward to a new book are rare choices and magic lore, maybe the new character choices too.

Bulk uploading the pictures now....and it is only 912 pics.
Hmm problem too many pictures for photobucket to cope with anyone knows a way to massreduce the size of pictures each one seems to be about 5 MB.

Still I feel more comfy with Empire. You should get one though.
Also it wasn´t a boring game at all it was very tense at many moments....like the Archmage poking the hammerers champion to death....also very great moment the slayer slaying swordmasters.

I did at least move my units in our game, in an effort to be less annoying!
I felt bad for taking so many warmachines. :icon_sad:
-
Yes. Dwarfs need a new army book right now!
Though I did OK with my boring gunline list.
not when their unit champions can beat a high elf arch mage on dragon in single combat :icon_rolleyes:
(true story, ask Novogord)

Don't, we had a very fun game! You had bad luck with your war machines though. Well not that bad, just when you shot my STank. But we moved around quite a bit, once the organ guns were gone. More fun than just charging forward and hoping for the best...

Hmmm nope I need to upsize my photobucket but it won´t let me do it via paypal somehow....strange.

Damn. Wanted a "review"
-
I played against the new HE at the bash (using VC) and got my ass handed to me...
That enough of a review or do you want juicy details ?

How was the loremaster and ice phoenix?

I want details on that juicy ass handling...
(sounds like a bait for me if there ever was one)
-
I want to make a battle report on the Grudge Match so you might get a HE vs Dwarves game...the IcyPhenix is incredibly strong didn´t use the loremaster but maybe I should I never seemed to have the right spells to annoy my opponents.

This sounds like it was fun again... stupid America and me for moving here!

My short report :
HE army : 60 spearman with general, mage (and BSB?), 40 ish Phoenix Guard, 15 Sea guard, two Icebirds and a FireMageDragon.
Mine : Shitload of zombies, skeletons, flavoured with a couple of Vampires and Necromancers, topped off with a Terrorgheist, Vargheists and some war machine hunter dire wolves (useless against his big blocks, but....)
Game started well enough, thanks to my vanguard and his movement, two of my wolf units can front and flank charge an Icebird and CRkill him.
After that, he gets his fliers in my flank, halting my advance and forcing me in protection mode.
I managed to kill the Seaguard eventually, but was unable to get enough spells off to make my army work, let alone damage his.
The Lore attribute for High Magic is however what thwarted me most, his Spearelves having a 5+ and his PG a 3+ Ward save most of the time...
I should mention I was playing an all comers list, and it will be worked on, but still, not easy to get any points from this build (Oh, his fliers were to far away from my Terrorgheist to scream them to death, as I committed him to the wrong flank. After that, it was game over.
Would love a rematch though.

Indeed, my Longbeard Veteran (Disguised as an Scottish Dwarf) defeated an Dragon Mage on a Sundragon. He charged my unit in the back, but I challenged his mage with my Veteran. No hits, vs one wound. I'm still wondering what that little fellow said to those fancy ears.
They didn't pursue after battle, they just marched on to the elf battle line.
