  1. I have to agree that the event was amazing and I was surprised how good the games were. I think the majority of people brought strong enough choices that it balance out. The hardest character I fought was by far Nagash. The only game I lost was to Nagash. He Spirit leeched Khalida turn 6. It was like something out of the fluff it was an awesome end to a great battle. The second time I faced Nagash was round 6 and I learned from my last game and took him out turn 3 with Ambush Stalkers and 2 Catapults.
  2. Veskit, Why not just bring an End Times army too? If there is new stuff in the game that is better and stronger then what you have in your list. Why wouldn't you wanna bring something new yourself? I have been playing TK for all of 8th and I wouldn't bring the same lists we TK players have been using for the past couple years. Just using lore of undeath helps a lot. Just ask Mexican Ninja about the game we had. I say embrace the change. Use some new End Times stuff and come see what you're missing. Obviously everyone wants you to come and enjoy yourself. There wouldn't be so many posts on this thread otherwise.
  3. How many games have you played against Eternity King lists? How many games have you played against other End Times lists? How many times have you used End Times list yourself or tried developing a list to combat other End Times lists? If your answer is 0 to very little. I strongly recommend getting some more test games in. I had the same knee jerk reaction until I got quite a few games in both using and playing against End Times. It's not any worse then any other big change that's happened over the years. You can look at current tournamet results to prove it. If you have put in a lot of play testing and still don't care for the current state of the game then I respect your opinion and I am sure we will miss having you. I would also reccomend reading this awesome article on the current state of the game. http://paint-hammer.blogspot.com/2015/04/9th-edition-is-supposedly-coming.html?spref=tw&m=1
  4. I am going through the latest errata and I am noticing a lot of rules updates that conflict with what I am used to seeing. 1. Update to BRB page 55 seems to say that you cannot combat reform to face a unit after receiving a rear charge. 2. Update to BRB page 63 seems to say you have to flee away from terrain and the unit. Not just the unit.
  5. Frontline gaming sent me an extra Urban Combat 6x4 Fat Mat as an apology for a shipping error. I would like to trade for newer Dark Eldar models or High Elf models. -Grotesques -wracks -venoms - Ravagers - Mandrakes -Phoenix Guard - silver helms - sisters of aversion - hand maiden of aversion - sword masters - eltharion on griffin - tyrion - white lion chariots -
  6. 6 white lions, 1 Alleriale, 1 Sea Helm, 2 chariot crew, 2 bolt thrower crew, and 3 chariot bases. I can do this!
  7. Ya 9 or 10 seems to be the avg. I wouldn't worry.
  8. That would be a fun match up and thanks :) . By the way I still haven't played you yet. I talked to one of the guys at Castle of Games in a Springfield and he said you come down and play sometimes. If I don't face you at the brawl let me know next time you are in town and wanna get a game of fantasy or 40k in.
  9. I tried to stick to my Sea Guard theme as much as possible. Alarielle, Avatar of Isha: lore of life 375 Loremaster of Hoeth: Book of Hoeth; Talisman of Preservation 330 Lothern Sea Helm: Banner of Avelorn 140 30 Lothern Sea Guard: shields; Sea Master; musician; standard bearer 390 5 Ellyrian Reavers: spears; bows; Harbinger 105 5 Ellyrian Reavers: spears; bows; Harbinger 105 24 White Lions of Chrace: Guardian (Warrior Bane); musician; standard bearer (Banner of the World Dragon) 397 Lothern Skycutter 95 Lothern Skycutter 95 Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower 70 Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower 70 Flamespyre Phoenix 225
  10. After playing my second game. I without a doubt beleive that once it is dispelled it is done. Not because it's over powered. BECAUSE IT TAKE WAYYY TOOOOO LONG. There is no way they intent was for someone to roll a 5 to 8 + casting value spell 6 time in one phase.
  11. The loremaster adds more tactical choice to the phase and the new caster from having an absolute hay day. It makes for a better game then I am gonna bate your dice with the first spell then I am going to use 5 to 6 dice with my number 6 spell every turn.
  12. I thought the same thing unitl I played a game.The d6 rule burns a lot of the casters dice. More often then not you wind up with plenty of dispel dice. It honestly felt more balanced then the old system.
  13. Keep in mind low level lore masters will still have a hard time casting spells when you have to roll a d6 for dice allowance and a high likelihood of a lvl 4 trying to dispel.
  14. Yes we mad our lists with the new rules in mind. I had a lvl 4 high magic with book of hoeth and talisman of preservation. A lvl 1 lore of life with obsidian lodestone. A Sea Helm BSB with shield of the Merwyrm. Anointed of asurion on a pheonix. * 27 swordmasters * 27 white lions dragon banner * 31 sea gaurd * 2 units of 5 reavers * 2 bolt throwers I can't remember exactly what Talapas had. I beleive he had a nurgle daemon prince, lord on a 2 headed chaos dragon, a fire mage with the super channeling chaos item that can lower his LD. He also had 2 units of horrors. The rest of the army was a big block of warriors, skull cannon, flamers, and beasts of nurgle.
  15. Just finished a game with the new magic rules and I love it.
  16. Unless I am running Plague Bearers or Chaos warriors I don't like to run less than 40 models in a unit of 25mm infantry. I like to be able to remain steadfast(both for break tests and removing enemy steadfast) , have enough damage output to be a threat (which I need horde formation to do), and be able to take some damage without losing steadfast and damage output. I know that when I see average 25 mm troops with only 30 models. I am not worried about facing it because it's not enough to tar pit or put out a lot of damage. The same can be said for average units less than 50 of 20mm infantry (again unless we are talkimg about elite troops).
  17. No I haven't seen anything else other then speculation of a s3 no armor save breath weapon. I am sure there are more special abilities or equipment.
