Don't Panic

my friend who plays DoC and WoC is geeking out about using his stinking pink horror brigade with a herdstone... plus a lvl4 on disc, greater daemon... *shivers*

i dont understand the hate for chaos dwarfs... they were once GW and forgeworld is also owned by the same conglomerate and they have a straightforward rulebook. Chaos dwarfs are also an army difficult for comp cause they have a few super good builds and then have a pretty big dropoff. CD are also just as popular as a few GW armies and psst forgeworld has darn good looking models. swedish next year should help next year..

i kinda think he has it a bit wrong about hordes imo. the 6 spells can deal with hordes quite well in 8th(unlike 7th) and Magic resistance/ward saves doesnt help at all really for the scary ones like final trans, dwellers, purple sun... and once you've knocked those hordes down to 15-20 from shooting and magic, most msu builds can take care of them at that point. and he overlooked some msu tactics a bit with the 'make way' argument. idk ive kinda had a change in thought to think this really wont be as bad as people are thinking. it will just diversify builds a bit is all which hey thats a positive for the game right? will be fun to test out and see first in our meta..

^you would... reminds me, whenever anyone purple sun's me i instantly get that weird prince song "purple rain" stuck in my head except i substitute -ain part for -ape...

and ML actually the nasty one is beastmen and woc: doombull with the shard in core chaos trolls with throgg... stupid. then go ahead and throw in the cheater disc bsb, a Daemon prince, maybe some skullcrushers to water it down, etc. sounds fun! :)

^hehe yup...

yea that took me just an hour to notice "you know thats probably not a good idea..." ill stick to the plan with FINALLY having a bsb... so dont worry ML, the bull will still be chained for a week or two more ;)

well they at least addressed they thought about woodelves for a milisecond rather than shown their butts to the past 4 books... oh gw, ill never understand..

(i think i should probably paint him now...)

doooombull time

lol it was a joke... i would never bring that list to a tournament cause its so not fun to play but either is playing a character stupid master list. my point was its rock/paper/scissors. my regular combat lists can deal with that anyways. go ahead charge a horde of slayers or longbeards with characters in it...

dwarfs are happy... go ahead bring all your toys. ill bring mine... with gunpower. :) im not a fan of the change in game style this will bring... kind of kills real msu armies and will bring the opposite effect that GW wants. oh well. just have to adjust is all.

yea i thought it was clear as well... ive talked to one of my 'rules buff' friends from iowa and he said it may be something people are thinking about with the last dwarf book because they were vague about it then, but in this book they got rid of the vague-ness. heck if i know though because 1. ive only been playing for like 7 months and im wrong about as many times as im right(which being a scientist i get use to this...) 2. i started playing right after the dwarf book was released(funny timing) so i have no clue as to the change in writing/interpretation.

i couldn't make it. did blog. close to at LEAST finishing one unit. hoping to have the gor looking better by next time as well...

dwarf question. i didn't see it so ill ask it here if you know it aidan. forging and canons. can you reroll both the shot and roll for misfire or just one? i got blasted for rolling it for both the shot and the bounce(they are technically two different rolls) and didn't really understand the logic as to why i couldn't do that so I'm curious how you guys at masters interpret that. and its kind of common to occur with me with misfires :)

yea i wish i could have made it... the scenerio sounded hilarious. im really intrigued what we are going to do as halloween approaches...

manticore dragon and hydra, oh my! ;) it will be darn good against most things. and with swedish you dont have to worry about a crazy amount of stanks/artillery so bring out the big guys!

yea its 10". but not terrible because flying units are skirmishes so you can just face them away from things. as for spectral hunters, thats the attack when they run through you? its similar to bombs and rocks i think. they are not done during the shooting phase so technically its not a shooting attack(or melee) but distributed as if it were a shooting attack. ill wait for a VC player though... not 100% sure

yea basically what most people are saying... 20 saurus with you slann in it is very vulnerable with the style of lore you have. quick fix would be changing lores and beefing up the saurus unit. CF has a good point, the focus of mystery is decent. life/heavens are great as well with the big toad. rippers have never done anything to me but just die.. and i bring great targets(war machines) for them so just saying. they take a little skill to use properly. yea your list lacks pop but thats not a big deal when you cloud. maybe drop a scar vet, add saurus/TG, chameleons and lore change. then thats not too shabby.

i may be able to help on the dwarf front and empire is my third army ill get around to someday so let me know what you are looking for and we could do a few swaps. i also have a ton of bits...

i would absolutely do that if i had the models. its definitely not my ideal build for what i was thinking(need chariots and nuisances), but at this point im just playing with what i got for models and when i get my bestigors on their bases(guy i bought them from didnt tell me they didnt have bases..) they will be added. also, dont really like the razorgor models(too cheesy weird looking) and chariots im just waiting on a good deal on ebay someday(or if i could convert my OnG boar chariot..).

Well haven't got around to painting much this week(booo!). Hopefully get to it by the weekend. Get some more layers on. Observation so far: I mainly went to beastmen for the monstrous side of things which is why I'm playing minotaurs. Really need the 100 points boost so my gorebull can get the bsb on him. That will help alot. Can't have miscasts cause half my army to start fleeing off the board. Retrospectly I should have just said to hell with it with magic at those points and make sure I have a bsb. It's really hard to get off the only spell u care about with a Lvl2 without risk of miscast. Dwarf player learning magic is a bit comical :)

been painting gor on my limited free time this week. mostly just got axes/HW and a darker brown coat over the fur. will be making the skin purple i think after testing between incubi dark and naggaroth purple. got my wife involved in the painting a wee bit and i think she she enjoys it and may continue painting! that will help me immensely(mostly cause im terrible at it). side note, finally tapped the vienna lager. not bad, but i probably should have lagered it another few weeks to a month. impatient brewing but its definitely not bad at least! :)

(and then i forgot magic) nevermind lol

id like the 1 on 1 battle of slayer-star vs your sick deathstar. slayers can beat the deathstar i think, mostly by using the distasteful giant slayer scheme. :/ 41 regular slayers, 9 giants, 1 dragon and ungrim ironfist. slowness and vanguard. 1230 points. that unit is LAUGHABLE though cause it would just get shot to death by the rest of your army but 1 on 1 i think they rip the deathstar apart(even without hatred). ill put together a list if you want to throw down for giggles. the rest will be copters and shooting...
