How about I really don't want to re-purchase just for a few new pages Funny I'm the other way because I like the fluff of the separate factions I've been holding off buying the allegiance books. The chaos book feels overpriced if i'm only interested in the Skaven parts. But I get what your saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus81 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We should talk about the Magewrath Throne. I think inevitably the Balewind will through comp or rules changes allow charging. While you can be charge on Magewrath and still can't move I don't think it can be brushed off since it provides more hero abilities to be used as well as a decent anti-mage and magic missile platform.

Squirrelmaster Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The Magewrath Throne isn't summoned, though. You can't include it as part of your army, either — like most other terrain features, it will only be on the table if whatever terrain-generation rules you are using have put it there. That might be mutual agreement, a roll on a random terrain chart, or a tournament organiser just deciding "this is what terrain the table will have". What makes the Balewind Vortex different is that it can be summoned — effectively making it "a spell that all wizards know" rather than "a terrain feature for which special rules exist".

Double Misfire Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Are any other non-Chaos players planning on converting the top of their Balewind to have anything but a Chaos star on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'd like to put Spirit Hosts around it perhaps, and just make the raised dais a torn-out piece of earth, perhaps with the add skellington clawing out of it. That said, it doesn't really fit my list, so it probably wouldn't feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should convert one anyway, just incase one of your necromancers knows he won't get shot at and fancies +1 to cast and not being charged.

CoffeeGrunt Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Definitely sounds like a worthwhile idea, actually. Especially as I might be running a Necromancer in my lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Misfire Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Awesome, don't forget to post pics! I'll probably go nice and lazy for my Collegiate Wizard's Balewind and just swap the chaos star out for the top of one of the other arcane fulcrums.

CoffeeGrunt Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Just had a thought. As my army is based on wintry snow, I could have the spirits lifting a massive hunk of jagged ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellalugosi Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm thinking about combining the magewrath with the balewind. Throne on top, 'nado on bottom. Who wouldn't want a flying lounge chair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on topic: Do any bigger wizards (Nagash, ect) have bases that extend far enough off the top of the Balewind Vortex that enemy units would be able to make it into combat with them without breaking the Balewind's 3" rule?

WAAAGHdogg15 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-Balewind-Vortex-ENG.pdf Have these rule amendments placated people at all? Can't be used by monsters and now cast on 7. Most non-monster wizards only have one spell so attempting to cast it becomes a much bigger risk. My main worry is that we'll possibly see a return of Kroak's popularity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
