  1. I always satin varnish to make the color more resistant to friction. Edit: Yet the red of my Chaos Warrior‘s cloak tips rubs off all the time x_X
  2. Having another game this evening: 2K Dark Elves VS 2K Tomb Kings VS 0.5K Dwarves We‘ll have a new player piloting some of my dwarves this game to het go know the mechanics and as a fun little „NPC“ encounter
  3. Pretty sure that’s the opposite of what they’ve claimed at the beginning (at least for Kislev)
  4. I‘d really like to see how such conversions will look! (are there some online I might not know about?)
  5. Cannon Fire, optimal distance from Target base (so rolling the distance would hit the base) 2" distance = 1/36 -> 2,7% 4" distance = 6/36 -> 16,67% 6" distance = 10/36 -> 27,78% 8" distance = 13/36 -> 36,11% 10" distance = 15/36 -> 41,17% Aiming at monsters: 10" ahead of the base edge opposite of the cannon‘s facing puts your hit chance to 41,17% Cheers
  6. Characters I‘d like to see: Vlad or Isabella, Krell, Balthasar Gelt, Malerion, Abhorash
  7. They could add an „order of the lady“ with some special AoS Knights/Heroes
  8. Won‘t work. The leg-stance of the manticore makes the model WAY too wide to fit any reasonable square base.
  9. Agreed, and the most fun. I want images and a crude report of your battle, Sir!
  10. He can’t heal while in combat. The 4+, 5++, 5+ regen is okay (only toughness 5). He simply rolled exclusively 6s and 5s. XD and I rolled zero 6s to wound which would’ve oneshot him. There‘s sone factions that need itemsto be restricted to infantry and cavalry only: Blood Armour (DE), Armour of Ages (Khemri) etc.
  11. It is. It’s a 50mm square base (official size for those). Since I put my cannon only with putty onto the base before painting it’s easy to swap bases for different systems A great thing about TOW is that one gets to play with one’s toys: Units seldom die within only one combat phase, it’s a nice back and forth which makes the game really dynamic. Different topic, Dragons: Imo dragons should get an armour hard-cap of 4+. It makes them beefy but far from invincible (stacking regeneration and a ward on top is solid) - so the chaos dragon and the Elven Dragons need some tweaking imo.
  12. Had another game vs khemri today. I played my Exile Bretons again. Was a wild but great game! I lost by 250 pts. And I lost the breaking point battle in turn 2 when a lone questing knight fled through my peasants and they ran off the table. We continued playing. My combat characters with heroic killing blow fought a Hierophant on Bone Dragon for 3-4 turns (6 combat phases) until he killed both having lost only 4 wounds total and was 2mm away from being pushed off the board! (He had a 4+, 5+, 5+. My opponent rolled well for his wards, I rolled really badly for attacks) My Knights of the realm engaged 20 Tomb Guards, failed their morale checks didn’t manage to kill enough, got flank charged, survived, continued to push the TG back until they were finally shattered. My two cannons didn’t do much. They finished off the dragon (my knights didn’t get to strike the monstrosity after charging) in the middle there was a huge grind. just a good game
  13. It’s probably the best order of them all, it’s just hard to learn how to use it.
  14. I‘ve run them half a dozen times without the warforger, but with the +1,+1 Command Trait. They barely did anything and didn’t feel like being worth their points - that was pre-points-increase. 🤷🏼‍♂️ The command trait doesn’t work with return fire. change the to wound roll to 3+ and they might be worth 150-160 pts.
  15. Nope. Every attack of a unit and effect an attack triggers is considered to be at the same time. The 5+ Ward would stay until your unit has finished all of its attacks.
  16. Wild and expensive idea: Convert the Tauralon to a Hippogryph: - Replace the head mit a Gryph Charger head (or with the Griffon head of the Island of Blood), replace the front hooves with gryph charger claws 🤔 only issue: Too little feathers on the too half
  17. I rebased it. On the picture it’s a 50mm round base. I rebased to a 40mm base since the Freeguild Marshal (next best model they can be played as) is on - 40x70ish oval
  18. Excuse me Sir, the correct designation is „Imperial Battle Pidgeon“ 🧐
