  1. So this is the list I’m thinking of taking to a tournament. Not to win, but to have fun and not be tabled. As far as models go, the ones I could sub in are a Mega-Gargant, a Necromancer, some Black Knights and the Cursed City box. I was going to take the Mega Gargant for fun but man it’s not worth it compared to what I have in there now. I was going back and forth between the Necromancer and Vampire Lord until I switched from LoN to Vyrkos and a Vampire Lord now seemed a given, what do you guys and girls think?

  2. Do you mean it's not supposed to work this way? It's the way it is in every browser I've used on many different computers and devices. It makes it so I avoid clicking the bell icon until I have enough time set aside to read every unread thread at once, because if I click one thread and then come back later, I won't know which other threads I missed that I didn't already read.
  3. When you have new notifications, you see a number next to the little notification bell in the corner. When you click the bell, threads with new posts are highlighted in blue. That's great! However, as soon as you click a thread, the little red number and all the blue highlight disappear. This means that you no longer know which threads have new posts. This can be very annoying, especially when you don't want to read all updated threads in one go. Any chance you could make it so the red number just decreases by one (instead of disappearing completely) when you click on a thread, and the blue highlight persist on the threads you haven't clicked on yet?
  4. The Gyrocopter is one of the worst units in the game, you don’t see people crying about it because no one uses it.
  5. I don't know if the Witches are indicative of any fundamental issues. The problem with Witch Elves specifically is they have access to insane buffs that can't be countered (because they are warscroll abilities, prayers and/or allegiance abilities). So without you being able to do anything about it (except killing their support characters, which is not easy for us) they can get - immunity to Battleshock - their 6++ damage save becomes 5++... - ...re-rollable - 4 attacks each - 6s to hit become two hits - re-rolling all failed to wound rolls - and from turn 3 onwards, also re-rolling all failed to hit rolls And on top of all that, the one buff you can counter (because it's a spell) gives them -1 rend and also damage 2 on their weapons if they are higher Bravery than you. Even without that though, they kill anything they touch in one round of combat as you can probably guess. ...and you know what else? They can also be made to fight in the Hero Phase They could easily be fixed in a number of ways, for example by making Prayers counterable or harder to cast, making the Witch Brew a Command Ability (so it wasn't free to use), nerfing the Hagg-Nar allegiance abilities, etc. It's not an AoS problem IMO, it's an DoK problem specifically.
  6. They have been having production issues for a long time, which is why they started building new production facilities at Nottingham HQ last year. I don't know if they're up and running yet but we'll definitely be feeling that big upswing in production capacity.
  7. Question: How do we beat Daughters of Khaine without Nagash? Even a VLoZD with Ethereal Amulet rerolling save rolls of 1 can't survive fighting Witch Elves. We've got basically nothing that can snipe the Hags or kill the Cauldrons at range. Fighting the Witch Elves themselves is futile until their support is gone since they will nuke anything they touch. What options do we have here?
  8. oh i will be super happy if it's a remake of that sorcerer, even if I don't play CSM... simply because the design is so awesome, the helmet especially.
  9. Points weren't really a problem if you played at a club or similar since you could just use one of the most popular systems. We used the SCGT pools system and it worked great until GW made an official one (at least partly based on SCGT as I understand it).
  10. This is hyperbolic. There was one guy burning his army on Youtube and everyone pretty much laughed him out of the room. The game wasn't garbage, in fact it was pretty much like it is now, or at least like how it was at the end of 1.0. The big differences are the points obviously, Allegiance Abilities and the Rules of One which didn't exist. But the community quickly created several points systems which were pretty great. Overall the game was just as much fun as it is now, just not as tight and with less layers of extra rules. What it did have back then that it doesn't have now were thousands of raging WHFB fans who made sure to tell everyone, in every thread, on every forum, on every Facebook group, what a ****** game it was and how GW were going under.
  11. I don’t think you can do that, Battallions need the appropriate keyword to be used in an allegiance. Otherwise they’ll be allies.
  12. I have the big guy with the sword. He'll be getting some plastic GW wings (from a Demon Prince?) and be played as a Demon Prince of Tzeentch.
  13. Yeah the monetary investment is certainly a huge consideration for me when considering Pinks... I have 30 Pinks but only 10 Blues and 10 Brimstones.
  14. From what I've heard, Alan Merret was quietly made aware that his presence was no longer wanted after his partner-in-crime Tom Kirby left the CEO chair to Kevin Rountree. Rountree had been around for a long time in a high management position and knew exactly who the most toxic people in the company were. This had been going on for a long time before AoS, in fact both Alan Merret and Tom Kirby have been at GW since the 80s and have held high positions within the company for a long time (Tom Kirby participated in the management buy-out of GW in the 90s and became chairman and CEO).
  15. Question: why are people using whatsapp when Discord exists? Not being snarky, I’m just curious since Discord has a lot more functionality and is basically superior in every way, and also seems to be the new standard.
  16. Buy this http://www.shieldwolfminiatures.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=74
  17. Each wizard can only cast one Endless spell per turn though, so I don’t see Nagash getting the chance to cast all those.
  18. Sure but you can use all the units from the Dark Imperium box in Matched Play, so it’s not really comparable. GW might go out and say that it’s ok to use the Soul Wars unit sizes.
  19. Generals Handbook points are also called Pitched Battle Profiles. It’s just the name they use for Matched Play Points, unit sizes and battlefield roles. The thing here is that the profiles in the Soul Wars box set are different from those in the GHB. For example Reapers are min 4 here but min 10 in the GHB. If you can pick which one to use, then the box set unit sizes would actually be usable in Matched Play.
  20. I'm sad that the name is the only good thing about the "Petty Vengeance" ability. It's no substitute for summoning that's for sure!
  21. the Wounds characteristic of a unit is the number printed on the warscroll.
  22. It's not a horse... it's a dead Pegasus!
