Have you tried any of the cinder blast bombs yet?

I'll play it. I like good challenge. :)

I don't think I bring over the top lists, I don't bring fluff bunny lists either, I bring what I like, although with the new dwarf book I'm not sure what I like anymore. I still really like hammerers and longbeards, will always take one cannon, I'm excited to include a flame cannon again, plus a couple of gyros. I usually use hero's as my characters as it gives me more points to spend on troops.

That's too bad, as worthless as they seem it would have been nice to have it be a free upgrade, but miners being only 10 points on their own is pretty sweet.

Fluffy lists. I like playing against hard as nails lists, that way if I win, I know I earned it.

I'm curious how well those blasting caps work, I have some ideas for them, but I fear they may not be worth it.

Isn't the organ gun limited to 50 points of runes?

You asked for input so here it is. SEND ME! :) I think the first place of the two day events should qualify you to go, the rest of the spots should be filled by a single event called PNW masters. Anyone who finishes in the top 5 of a two day 20+ person event, or the top 2 of a one day 20+ person event or finishes first in a 10+ tournament would compete in a two day masters event to fill out the rest of the roster. Eventually a player ranking system would be a fantastic way to select players, but for this year and maybe next year the above would work well in my opinion. Best of luck to you figuring this out, I hope you have fun doing it.

Ring of Gyges, you are correct. I need to go into more detail on how to use the base and not get the bonus. If you use a round base, 60mm, for a warmachine, and measure from the base instead of the barrel, then it works.

Respectfully, I disagree. Tactics is the art and science of the detailed direction and control of movement or manoeuvre of forces in battle to achieve an aim or task. The aim of my set up is to get closer so I can shoot, therefore I direct my hellblaster to set up like this. I do think war machines should have basses, round ones, but until it happens this is a legit tactic. I see monsters doing the same thing in order to lesser their chance of getting hit by a cannon, whats the difference? I can't see why a monster would ever show me their side, but game wise it makes perfect sense. I don't personally like the En passant move in chess, it is total BS in my opinion, but it is part of the game and instead of getting irritated about it I have learned to deal with it. By the way, please no one take what I'm saying as being spiteful or confrontational, just trying to add to the conversation.

ClassicFlava, warmachine pivoting is common practice and is a part of the game especially if you go to major tournaments. Why do you hope to never see it? I applaud peoples ability to use their brain on these maters, if someone figures out how to use tactics to gain an advantage then more power to them. If GW sees it as a problem, then they should mount warmachines on round templates and the "problem" is solved. I mount all my war machines on round templates now for hobby reasons, so I can't get away with this kind of move, but would have no problem at all if someone used it against me.

I'm sorry, but what is the big deal with a conga line? To me, many real tactics can't be applied to this game, so one should use the tactics that are presented to obtain the desired goal, it's not "gamey" its just using the rules to dictate the outcome which is called tactics. Honestly I want to junk punch people who complain about people who play the rules smartly. By the way, there are plenty of ways to beat a conga line, only rarely do they gain you an advantage. I mean, why don't we get rid of redirecting? It's gamey isn't it, redirecting, because it's not how combat really worked, charging units did not wheel to make contact with a unit at a slight angle they charged forward blowing through everything they touched. I see conga lines as a legit way to play, and we should end the hate and learn to embrace the rules for what they are.

You do have access to the kadaii destroyer, it is in the Monstrous Arcanum which can be taken. You can even upgrade it to have wings.....uuuugggghhh!

If you put a Giant Slayer at the front of the dart you can make them survive much longer as all of the attacks have to directed at him.

To me, that is the fun of OFCC, you can get your hobby on without the burden of the rules.

Well storm of magic characters can be taken according to GW warrior code with any army, that includes Truthsayers, Zoats, dragons with spell levels and so on.

:) I always get special treatment, I even got to ride a bus that was shorter than everyone else. It was fun.

Wait a minute, when I asked this question before the response was regiments of renown were fine. Not that I was planning on taking any, but now all confused.

I guess immune to psych isn't too bad, so you can't flee, but you also wont fail fear and terror tests. Besides, any longbeards even thinking of fleeing should shave their heads and dye their hair orange.

Longbeards can flee, they are immune to panic not psyc, I like the longbeards because of the runic standards. Your list is very similar to my first list raindog, please let us know how it fairs. I agree 4 units might be better than three and two gyros are a must, I'm excited to see how the flame cannon does.

Well Done Eric!!!!!

So it says you can have a monster from Storm/Tam/Arc and it counts as rare, if the monster is under 100 you can have up to two of them, if it is more than 100 you can have one. My question is, can you have more than one monster of different types? So could I have a unit of two great eagles and a single dragon? Or am I limited to only one of those choices?

Yes, all of the terrain is as awesome as those pieces. :)

Hey Raindog, what is your thought on why you think warriors lost? I thought the +1 strength/save and possible hatred helped them, and with the potential increased power of the oathstone and the runesmith buff, that they had gotten a little better. Not being argumentative, I'm just curious about what your train of thought is. Personally I don't think I will include warriors, to me Longbeards are the way to go only because they give you access to magic banners, which in my mind are a must have. In fact I'm thinking two units of longbeards with shields, one with stubborn, the other with slowness will be my staple. Each will have a runesmith and a thane, one will be a BSB and at least one will have an oathstone if not both, plus give both access to a flaming breath weapon, two dispel scrolls and that devastating charge warhorn. I just don't see how Iornbreakers will be an advantage to take over hammerers. With the longbeards being the anvil I don't need another anvil unit, besides I just can't spare the points especially when hammerers can take 75 points of runes. I'm going to fit two units of 21 hammerers in as many lists as I can, again not just for their ability to hit, but for their access to banners, especially valaya. Two gyros and a cannon will be in almost every list as well, they are just too good, I really like the flame cannon and iron drakes as well, but I worry there may be too many flaming attacks. I won't be able to play until the end of march so I'm going to live vicariously through you Raindog, no pressure. :)

Give it a try, if you get it to work more power to you, if was not the same point value it was before and was instead was a lot cheaper, or even better a lone rare choice instead of a character mount, I might give it a try. You are right, I admit immune to panic is not worthless, but to me it is not worth 300+ points (Anvil plus Runelord)? Especially when your Runelord gives buffs to units, buffs you are paying for, and the anvil cannot join a unit (they missed a great opportunity here, could have had an Anvil/Throne of power duel kit :( ). Another trick is to take two of them so you can attempt to stack the armour saves but that would use up all of your lord points. As it now stands, my three anvils will now go into hibernation, maybe 9th will make it better, but until then I would rather include a flame cannon or a unit of Iron Drakes.
