    A few interesting combinations I'm thinking: 2+ save STEAM TANK HELL YEAH! Can make for a good, self-sufficient distraction carnifex, he can sefl buff and self heal and doesn't cost a fortune for those 12 wounds, just try to eliminate any MW sources in proximity to it. An obvious and available to all cities, but thematically fitting Greywater one - Handgunners buffed with General sent across the table via Soulscream Bridge, since it doesn't count as moving you can bring those 29 + leader shots hitting and wounding on 2+ anywhere on the table. Duardin bombing castle - a wall of ironbreakers supported by Runelord and Warden King with a twist - 3 (or maybe more, depends on how crazy you are) Gyrobombers with a trait that allowes to shoot after running, so with move of 12" and Run that can be made an auto 6" you can surge forwards, fly like a couple of millimeters over enemy unit's front model's bases and then back behind the wall of dorfs, drop your bombs and then shoot (with rune of Unfaltering Aim!) Utilising again the same trait and duardin aircrafts you can increase threat range of Gyrocopter's Steam Guns to melt opponent's hordes. For this you'd want something like knight Azyros as a general. Lastly, good CP generation of this City would allow you to throw buffs left and right, Steam Tank battle group wants +1 to hit - sure thing. Irondrakes, same thing? Here you go lads. 6 murder chikens and General on Griphon slamming with meteoric force into enemy line - Rousing Battle Cry for both units easily.

    If warscroll ability specificaly told you that you can shoot any unit, than that would be a fact, right now it's fantasy.
  3. XReN
    It's plain and simple - when you get charged - you can shoot, when you shoot and there is an enemy unit within 3" you can shoot only at enemy units within 3". Nothing implies that you should be able to shoot at any other unit, that's nonsense.
  4. XReN
    There is no controversy to be overrulled, what is that about?
  5. XReN
    I have mentioned the range Crazy enough for LOS-less shooting to be somewhere between "good" and "extremely powerfull". It also means protection from returning fire, so you wouldn't need to prioritise targets to first kill whatever threatens artillery and only than everything else.

    It's kinda sad how much Hellstorm Battaries got nerfed, yesterday it kinda struck me - full 4 battaries in a battalion double shooting is equivalent to 40 man strong KO company with chemist, but more expensive, only once per game, less wounds, no added damage in form of pistols, can't shoot at close range. This is very dissapointing if we look at what benefits we get - almost twice the threat range, CP and Artefact. Why it lost an ability to shoot without LOS? Why it doesn't get better damage at least against hordes?
  7. XReN
    Rules don't allow that.
  8. XReN
    Yep, everything except Soulseeker sounds good, Soulseeker was FAQed so he can't set up unit he carries closer than 9" from the enemy models

    I really hope that sales will make GW to keep supporting CoS, especially with models, even I, a guy who wasn't interested at all in any of those armies back in FB days now ordered Battletome, Warscroll Cards, Greywater SC and Steam Tank! (And I already have Hurricanum and 2 imperial artillery boxes as allies for my SCE)

    We have discussed it amongst local players yesterday and the answer is, unfortunately, no. Because you can measure range and visibility from Spell portal, but when you cast Elemental Vortex you than roll dice for models within 12" from the caster specificaly.

    Big unit of course, you want them to be fielded in small units only if you are planing to use them as counter-charge and therefore need space for units to rotate along the battle line so you have space for frontline screening units to pull back and for greatswords to charge in.

    Unfortunately the distributor in Russia still haven't delivered even first wave of Warcry, so all my hobby money went for other things, if that wasn't the case I could've used this terrain to play at home. And for the same reason only one local club has it ATM and it's not used in games of AoS.
  13. XReN
    This is much better option, IMO.
  14. XReN
    I'm not hardly against proxies, there is a place or them - for example in case of many discontinued models it's understandble, reasonable and can be explained by lore to allow some of them. This case is clearly stretching it.
  15. XReN
    Because High Warden rides a Gryphon and Phoenix is essentially a bird, they are drammatically different in appearance and I would allow this proxy as is with only matching paintjob because practically it's very difficult to convert one into another.
  16. XReN
    You can use it in Scourge Privateers allegiance as well.
  17. XReN
    Just paint him like a Phoenix you want him to represent. Personaly I dislike such proxy but would allow it.
  18. XReN
    You cannot use Realm Reavers in CoS army, only as allies - therefore you will have to take all units in battalion as allies therefore losing all City's benefits and allies also won't count as battleline. No, battalion's ability is not a command ability.
  19. XReN
    Yes, CoS might be challenging to collect. There is no way Gotrek can benefit from any of City's abilities, it's up to you to create a list in which your army will benefit from Gotrek
  20. XReN
    I'd probably give him "Strike Eagles" instead for even more ranged mortals
  21. XReN
    You need 15+ CoS units to field 4 balistas and Ordinator, so SCE artillery build is instantly out of question. I agree that Empire stuff isn't that great, but with a cheap battalion you really can do some work on enemy units early on, like shred a screenng unit and severely wound a monster at the same time is well in range of this arty capabilities. I also happened to have 2 boxes of such artillery and already bought 2 duardin cannons that I will take apart for bits - you only need a spare carriage to build both variations of an artillery piece from it's box.

    A fun Greywater gunline list I threw together, nothing super fancy but has a lot of alpha strike potential. Allegiance: Greywater Fastness Mortal Realm: Ghyran Leaders Steam Tank Commander (250) - Artefact: Steam Piston Plate Mail Battlemage (90) - Specialisation: Ulgu -Spell Lore: Choking Fumes -The General's Adjutant Runelord (90) Freeguild General (100) - General - Trait: Drillmaster Cogsmith (60) - Artefact: Magnificient Macroscope Lord-Ordinator (140) Battleline 30 x Freeguild Handgunners (300) 10 x Freeguild Handgunners (100) - Honoured Retinue 10 x Freeguild Handgunners (100) War Machines Helblaster Volley Gun (120) Helblaster Volley Gun (120) Helstorm Rocket Battery (130) Helstorm Rocket Battery (130) Battalions Greywater Artillery Company (120) Endless Spells / Terrain Soulscream Bridge (80) Total: 1980 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 2 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 103

    You guys are GODS, preping for a game has never been so easy
  24. XReN
    Too much wounds to go through. Yes, you can take SCE into main force and give them city keyword.
