    Yes and the rule is "it's a parody so it SHOULD be fine. " The issue here is that it doesnt matter who's legally in the right (it's TTS) because he can't afford the fight anyway and he's a pretty well established entity. GW knows this and the problem here is that their overly aggressive stance is stifling creativity and fan involvement for no good reason.

    I'm hopeful that WotC dipping their toes into "models on sprues" might cause legitimate competition for this particular skillset. Like that one guy who's name I don't know because I didn't see Godzilla versus King Kong said; "let them fight.'

    With no ward save ~300 points of deepstriking sisters of the watch would average 23 wounds off him in a single shooting phase (all out defense takes that to 16) but that still means roughly 600 points of middle tier shooting would put him down in turn 1 for half the cost. No ward save is way too big a detriment imo. Makes him a great target for blessing I guess though.

    Idk but boy is that model not to my tastes. Looks like they gave him a squig head and overall he looks like a warcraft 3 character. Just awful.

    So to the people who told me I was having a knee ****** reaction when I said "they're going to use dragons as an excuse to give stormcast a whole new line"; I've got some delicious crow here if you're interested...
  6. The Red King
    Okay well how do we maximize Archaon? Is it as simple as throwing all our buffs at him?
  7. The Red King
    So the person in the other thread who said "they dont have to go after people as long as the threat still drives people away and discourages new content creators" was completely right then. Driving down fan involvement and creativity all to sell it back to us in WH+, I swear corporations would find a way to charge us for air if they could. If I had had any interest in WH+ I would still not buy it on principle after these heavy handed IP moves.

    They're a bit of a miss for me. I mean there's nothing wrong with them (except the chins a little odd imo) but realistically I'm looking at a $150 "Dragon safari ltd" toy lol. They're very... bland for dragons. The above pics really bring home what I don't like about them (just kinda hit me) that's Tony the Tiger as a dragon and you can't convince me otherwise. Not to poo poo on anyone elses preferences mind you, if you like them then that's Grrrrrr-eat!
  9. The Red King
    The rest of your post is still valid but you can't intentionally break coherency with a move.
  10. The Red King
    I was gonna say "well that's not fair, they should at least be compared to a unit of comparable cost" but then I remembered lol

    If we can get something in the next book that increases the range of prayers I feel like Curse could become a very viable tool for us. As is you basically have to double someone or use it after they've charged your lines (or I suppose you COULD use BT to move him into range now that prayers happen during the hero phase instead of at the start but that's probably not worth it).

    I think I should clarify I was referring to the thread that the above poster mentioned which was specifically about Sisters of the watch "loose until the last" not the batallion one that most people are referring to in which case I agree. The batallion isnt a bold face ABILITY as described in the core rules. Sorry for the confusion.
  13. The Red King
    I dont understand how there isnt a contradiction between "you can issue the command ability when X" and "you can only issue any command ability once". "I activate [ability]. You cant because the core rules say you can't issue an ability more than once." I'm not going to qoute the definition of contradiction but that meets it in every sense of the word I can think of.
  14. The Red King
    That depends on where it's coming from. If the second ability is being triggered by an ABILITY on a warscroll than according to the rule blurb directly to the right of 1.6 [abilities and effects]: "If the effect of an ability contradicts a core rule, then the effect takes precedence." So it's pretty unclear but leaning towards if an ability causes you to use the command ability more than once per phase than it takes precedence over the core rule (6.1).

    I have an old isle of blood high elf prince of hippogryph gathering dust. If you stuck a vampire lord from the zombie dragon kit on there and put it on the right base (zombie up the hippogryph a little) and it's a pretty good basis for a vengori lord imo.
  16. The Red King
    I think I'll stick to the bloodsecrator but depending on mission and opponent that is very useful information.

    I don't really have a problem with the GHB21 realm rules but does this mean it will be 7 years before we see the other 8 realms (and possibly one for chaos) because then I'll just assume we will never see all of them. Now if GHB22/23 has 3 realms each then we could conceivably get a final expansion with Azyr and realm of chaos right before 4th edition. Alternatively the other realms could come in BR style supplements but assuming each "season" is supposed to be themed I cant really see that happening.

    A priest with bless when they've got to get through 60 wounds could be something. But 740 points of just survivability doesn't seem that great really.
  19. The Red King
    So I wanted to give my BW another go because I feel like I failed them by forgetting their fight on death and mw on saves but at the same time, dropping them down to reavers gives me enough points to turn my skullgrinder into a demon prince and that CA is very very nice. Is the relative survivability of warriors better than I think or is a failed charge the best defense? Thoughts?
  20. The Red King
    Am I right that you CAN ally a slaves to darkness/maggotkin wizard though?
  21. The Red King
    Well after a pretty disheartening game against basic stormcast of all things I have a few thoughts. One. it's worth it to go for the low drops. Getting double turned on the top of 2 is a very big problem. Two. Khul has to be my general to use the rr 1's so I'm gonna have to settle for taking the "capture terrain pieces" grand strategy and use summoned units I guess? That or take hold the line and give up 80 points of blood reavers to sit way in the back at all times (maybe not so bad to screen deepstrikes). Three. Not that anyone was wondering but blood warriors are so incredibly bad for their points. EDIT: Turns out if you ignore 2/3rd of a units special rules (No respite, gorefists) they don't perform quite as well as they could. Imma leave em in for now and give them another go, but dropping them and the skullgrinder for a demon prince is very tempting for that command ability. Four. I really need to pay better attention to our auras but also man our heroes are squishy and thunderstrike armor is a pain as the dominion units just seem to so casually chuck mortal wounds around for which we have no defense.

    ... dragon ogre shaggoth?
  23. The Red King
    Side note I did finish the shaggoth conversion who I now can't take if I want any khorne marked beasts (why cant we mix marks like StD?) So instead he's become a chaos lord on karkadrak.
  24. The Red King
    Speaking of taking someone's post too seriously...
  25. The Red King
    Guys whitefang laughed at my post and I don't know what that means for my release predictions lol
