i just got the first newsletter in my email and i must admit free rules for models not even shown yet(Dannon Blythe & Bull) are sweet but i cant see the rhulic jack preview. anyone else having trouble?

my first impression of blythe&bull are that bull will be doing most of the work with dannon along just to give him prey but she will be handy to deny tough and souls. bull has 2 pow 11 atacks with reach or a gun with d3 pow 12s and beat back and crit knock down. im still not sure how i would use them but beat back on a gun is silly and must have some application.

I was browsing the Warlord Games webstore looking at the shineies when I came across this gem: Here

Not only is it a good deal for getting into ECW wargaming but with a bit of 'counts as' (Firelocks = Huntsmen, about 20 Musket = Forlorn Hope = Archers and Officers = Captains) you get about 1500 pts of reasonably mixed 'Empire', which is not bad for 50 quid. Even better in a bit they're releasing Dragoons and I'm sure they can be convinced to swap out one of the boxes of Harqabusiers for them.

Would you allow me, who has a small army of chaos and a few space wolf units, allow them to be fielded as an allied force?

Hi, I hope this isn't against any forums regulation or something. I'm pretty sure that many of you used the services of play.com before and maybe someone can help me on that one.

On the 6th of this month, I ordered a computer game from play.com and it still hasn't arrived yet (today's the 21st). A bit annoying but according to their FAQ, I can't contact them about it until 21 days after the day I ordered.

I'm located in central Europe and according to my experiences, it shouldn't take any longer than 12 days at best to receive mail from the UK. Has there been a royal mail strike again or something? I'm a bit confused. Did anyone of you have similar experiences and contacted play.com about it? It seems to be darned hard to contact them by e-mail.

after spending most of my time painting my empire i discovered i should be working on some lists.

I'm new to empire, being more of a High Elves Player, but I'm committed to this army.

All criticisms and suggestions welcome.

Hey all, looking for a little help from anyone who has built up a hive tyrant.

Just bought one on the (very) cheap on ebay as apparantly it is missing some parts.

I will have the following bits

Legs - One piece each
Tail - two pieces (larger piece that legs join to & long thin tail end)
Torso - three pieces (middle bit & piece for either side whch arms join to)
Arms - one piece each, sword & whip
Head - one piece
Spines -one little tab of spines.

I am aware that i need a plastic MC sprue for the second set of arms. Is there anything else missing? From looking at a pic of the finished model i think that is all i need but i would like to know for sure.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

Got bored with playing with Eldar and fancied a change. The change has been made and i am now singing from the pleasure God's hymn sheet.

Anyhow, I'm looking to do a competitive daemon list only using slaanesh daemons. No involvement from any other gods!

I want to have alot a big boys in the army so 2 Daemon princes and a keep of secrets are a must. Other than that, I would appreciate any other input.

Furthermore, not sure on colour scheme at the moment. i was thinking purple ink over white with black armour which I plan on painting with gloss varnish to look like lacquer. This is by no means definitive though

Thanks in advance,

Gedifighter.

hi guys

i know your all very trired hearing these sort of things but and its a BIG BUT i would realy apreciate some advice on my new army as i usualy buy an army i don't like and never use it and have lost a good deal of money doing this so i turn to thee trusted warseer comunity for help.


i am stuck between 5 armies at the moment these sre as follows

Vampires
i love the mdels the back ground and the style of play with these i have used them once in a try out game and they performed realy well

Empire
versitility is always a good thing and at first they seem prety weak but then when had a good look they were very good they do have a decent background with many stories and themes to inspire you

High Elves
great background rippped appart by war and betrayel and when used right are nigh unstoppable

Lizardmen
as with empire versitility, cheap, and powerful 3 things which make them great

Dark Elves
amazing background and a very aggressive style of play


as for me i like to use all the phases movement, magic, shooting and combat to some effect and they are not all intended for huge games (as we don't get that long at the club we go to) the army i want must realy never have the same sort of battle and are able to compete against the top dogs

thanks in advance

MM

Does the Bane Head and the Pirahna Blade stack? because it wouls seem retardedly good if they could so i thought i would ask for somones opineon : )

Also does the Bane Head affect magic wounds caused by the Slann or Skink Priests?

Ty in advance

Thoughts?

Do you have the same BFG fleet as 40K army?
Or would you rather have a different fleet?

First army thread!!!

So this nagging decison of choosing a first army. I know youve proably seen a million of these threads by now, but I noticed none where on the first page so maybe youve missed them? Regardless I would really appreciate some help. I like to play aggressive, an army that can deal lots of damage in CC, racking up kills. weather this is through finess or just brute stength doesnt matter as long as im not sitting in my deploymetn zone, but I dont want a point and click army they need to require at least 10 brain cells. Shooting and magic are important, but I dont want to relay on them to win I want them to support my CC troops. I hate having the same thing as everyother regular joe, so one that allows for variety in lists, lots of choices for units that are viable, and magic item combos. So no one dimensional lists that force you too play one style, I like variety as you can tell, I want to know that if I get bored playing with one style (like say lots of calvary) I can switch to another style (like elite infantry, or super killy lords, ect). I havent looked at all the armies minatures yet, so ill get back when I do and which ones you guys reccomend. Thanks (hopefully)!

Hey Guys,

After years of almost pure fantasy I'm looking back toward 40k, specifically crimson fists based around Pedro Kantor.

It's been a while and as such I figure I should get some feedback for my list.
I accept all criticism and suggestions as I really haven't played competitive 40k in a long while.

That being said, here is my list (2000 pts)



Pedro Kantor 175
Librarian 100
(Need suggestions for Psychic Powers)

Assault Terminator Squad (5) 455
3 Thunder Hammers
2 Lightning Claws
Land Raider Redeemer Dedicated Transport
Extra Armor

Scout Squad 85
Boltguns
Heavy Bolter

Scout Squad 85
Boltguns
Heavy Bolter


10 Tactical Marines 220
Meltagun, multimelta,
combi-melta
Rhino

10 Tactical Marines 220
Meltagun, multimelta,
combi-melta
Rhino

7 Man Sterguard Squad 260
3 Combi-Meltas, 1 Multi Melta,

2 combi-meltas, Powerfist

Scout Biker Squad 95
Locator Beacon

Vindicator 120
Dozer Blade


Once again, All comments, criticsms, and suggestions are welcome.

so my local gw is having a tourney for all the nooby fantasy players but instead of just playing against each other the first round they play against the vets for more of a learning experience then they play against noobs and vets play vets and finnally they play against the vets again and use all they have learned and see if they can beat them. so with that in mind and i being a vet, i dont want to take a list to mean but still take one that is capable of giving them a good game and one where i can beat the list the other vets bring.

heroes
paladin w/ warhorse lance and shield

bsb paladin on warhorse with warbanner and duty

core

8 KOTR with full cmd

6 KOTR with full cmd

6 kotr with full cmd

10 bowmen

10 bowmen

25 MAA with banner musician

25 MAA with banner musician

rare
1 trebuchet

one problem i have had with this list is the how dominated i become in magic phase so i was thinking about dropping the paladin and some musicians for a damsels with scrolls becasue i do know one of the vets is bringing his vc and he is going to bring 11 power dice in 1250 (personally i think a lil mean for the type of tournament)

Right, so I have this here DE team with a few games under the belt, but I have gold to spare and I'm of two minds.

Witch Elf (Block, Sidestep) / (16 SPP)

Blitzer (----) / (0 SPP) / (Niggled)

Blitzer (Dodge, +MA) / (20 SPP)

Blitzer (Dodge) / (11 SPP)

Lineman (----) / (3 SPP)

Lineman (Wrestle) / (6 SPP)

Lineman (Sidestep) / (8 SPP)

Lineman (Sidestep) / (10 SPP)

Lineman (Sidestep) / (7 SPP)

Lineman (+ST) / (8 SPP)

3 Re-Rolls
6 FF
Apothecary

140.000 to spend, and my gut tells me to buy a Blitzer, but Assassins... Does anyone have experience with using them on a less developed team like this one? I only have 10 players, due to the fact that I've had one dead per game on average, though my Apothecary has saved 2/6 so far :)
