Also, mistakes are not cheating. Cheating is knowingly making mistakes ;)

Challenge!

I don't know if you wrote up your list quite right or are misinterpreting rune builds. Both runesmiths cant have a single spellbreaking. Also ill double check when I get home but I believe the ring counts as a magic talismam which prevents you from taking a runic talisman on the runesmith with the ring since runicitems follow all rules for magic items.

They look horrible.  I agree.  Whether it makes sense or not, and I agree it makes sense, doesn't mean it needs to be modeled.  There is no excuse for a [big bad swear word]ty looking model.

Paul and I are going to make it this Sunday. See you guys there.

I don't know. He took the time to wear a mask and gloves. The glasses could be fake, as could the hoodie. Bought for 2 bucks at a thrift store. Id stick to what is certain, that being his height, build, hair color. I find it unlikely the shoes are thrift store, yet i guess just as likely as the hoodie.

Obviously I'd look out for the hoodie but not only that. Same with glasses. Don't rule out those perfect vision mofos that fit the description in the area.

I'm hoping to see some Dwarf players. Queek wants to auto wound some Dwarfs!

Queek Headtaker is making an appearance

Well kiddy pools are notorious for urine and if we want to smell like piss we may as well run a Magic the Gathering tournament instead.

I listened to that podcast last night. I'm also looking forward to the next podcast.

It was fun Raindog.  Glad everyone could make it.  And thanks for the game.  As always you are a tough general!

The wording for Fear that pertains to this is:

...- all models in the unit have their Weapon Skill reduced to 1 for the remainder of that round of close combat.

With the wording of everything and the sequence of events I'd say 1 for your scenario MexicanNinja.  There are other sequence of events I'd rule 0 though.

1)  From the Q&A:

Q: If a model with a Breath Weapon, Stomp or Thunderstomp is
in a challenge, can these attacks hit models not in the
challenge?(p102)
A: No.

2)  This is a slippery slope.  One point in favor of the Black Dragon going to 0 is that it doesn't say a minimum of 1.  A point against is that it is happening first, so you could say it's already been resolved.  I would rule it that the unit is at a WS of 1 in this scenario.  If the unit had failed it's Fear Test, and then had the breath weapon cause a would I would then rule that the unit was at 0 for the rest of the current combat phase, reverting back to it's normal WS (with the -1 due to the Black dragon) until the end of the following turn.

Hope that helps.

Looks good!  I see you spent extra special time and care around the nipples.  Excellent...

Communism!!!!!!

you unfortunately are not participating, therefore you are kind of like the French. And the the French don't matter. :)

Oh, do dwarf warmachine crews retain unbreakable? That saved my bacon quite a few times.

they are Stubborn, so close to Unbreakable.

I like the book so far and made up a list or two. The only really disappointing part to me was the Anvil.

 

 

Observations

Anvil changes troop type to War Machine. Unless I am mistaken War Machines auto loose characteristic tests. Thus any poop characteristic test auto kills this 290 point no wargear unit. If you put any runes on the Runelord this 1 character is double to triple the points of any war machine out there aside from a stank.

 

I would be willing to try out the Anvil because I feel overall it has been slightly improved and a tad more balanced and better to play against but its just too many points to auto die to from a spell...

the Anvil was a warmachine in last book too, except for the special character Thorek.

Old book only. The new book came out too close to the tournament to be used.

You can not shoot weapons after you rally so moot point if that is your concern.  And yes, a unit that rallies completes a reform move and reform moves constitute moving. Page 24.

Those clanrats can be slaves and vice versa.

You have a lot of non plague options. You should have plenty of little rats off the sprues to make some giant rats too.

I think you wont see too many naked organ guns. You may see them with runes of accuracy/forging though.

I think large 40+ units of slayers will be relevant now too. Basically the enemy will take a str 5 attack for every wound they do to the slayers, and the slayers will still have their full compliment of attacks.

I too like the 5 man route though.
