You do strike first and all you need is one 6 on the to wound roll with the dragon slaying sword.

Can always give your dreadlord on dragon the dragon slaying sword then go round and pick off his big stuff. Edit Just built this as a monster killing army. Big weakness is no magic but the tag team of the 2 dragons should take down the bone dragon sphinx and giant easily. The corsairs being open order, scouting dark riders and harpies are super mobile and should be able to dance around the slow undead and get in the way to allow your dragons free reign. Bolt throwers to pepper the enemy and the bloodwracks are a bit of fun and the stony stares should cause some damage to I 1 troops, frenzy could be a pain tho. Saying that, both charging into a skeleton unit and either dark riders or corsairs in the flank could do alot of damage. Could be a fun list to use or maybe fall flat on its face lol.

I would do 20 spears and 20 crossbows for sure. Not sure for the other 20. I don't see more than 20 crossbows being useful due to space on the tabletop and I'll rather use the points of a 2nd unit of spears on other combat units.

This. I'm having a ball building armies from old models and mixing in new one or just using AoS models but I don't want to do anything with the brets I got in the army box until I get the new knights on foot and switch and swap heads and weapons and such. I'm can see the logic of not releasing the 2nd wave of stuff when some people haven't received the 1st wave yet. I wonder if they are producing extra stock.

What are the expectations for tonight's coming next week article? TOW maybe? Still have the rest of the bretonnians and tomb kings to be released. I doubt DB 5 will be announced with DB 4 only hitting shelves yesterday. Maybe underworlds?

The new bretonnian resin characters are back in stock on the GW website (UK) Also, hobby heaven has 30mm and 30mmx60mm bases in stock now and they are great quality and cheap.

Did you take special arrows on all your units? Been playing with some army lists and trying to figure what goes best with what. Been thinking the - 2ap on glade guard, no penalty to move and shoot on glade riders and poisoned on waywatchers or maybe the multiple shot ones on them. Thoughts?

I felt the same when I got my books lol!

Yeah, the age old problem of ranking up! Even with 30mm bases. These are the easy to build gutripperz, I think I'll make a couple of unit fillers, that should help with the awkward spears. Going to use Hobgoblins as normal goblins and the boss on the wolf/dog creature (forget it's name) as a warboss on chariot. The vulture would be great as a wyvern, not sure about the base tho. I thought about the mirebrute as a giant. I have a mirebrute and vulture 0ainted in my kruleboyz army so I'll have to get them out to see if they are suitable for TOW. I've having so much fun building old world armies, got a load of old chaos warriors having a bath in paint stripper at the moment and a box full of 4th edition wood elf metals crying out for new bases!

After seeing the kruleboyz on here the other day, decided to add some orcs to my night goblins. Big boss, Shaman, warriors and a chariot.

That just doesn't make any sense. If (and it's a big if) beasts are going extinct it will be based on financial motivation not sentimentally. Beasts of chaos are the last army that doesn't have IP protectable names, Skaven are a GW invention and ogres are now ogors etc. I can see them getting a big overhaul with new models and new protectable names. I really hope this is the case as I'll love to see what GW come up with.

Well it's a one in six chance lol. Makes sense to be dwarves to follow the greenskins as natural enemies.

Ah yes, forgot about the 2 week preorder window now. Good catch.

That's such a good idea! Yep, I'm whizzing through the basic gobbos and they still look good ranked up.

Oh wow, that's a awesome haul!!! You chose the best army - the Druchii!

The code in the battletome should work from Saturday.

Pretty sure it's the law to create a Book of Grudges when you're a dwarf player lol. First thing, don't tell her the rulebook is 300 pages 😂😂

Beastmen and wood elves, the classic match up!

I'm guessing it's the old stuff, the bret and tomb king army boxes and all the releases that went with it.

Haha, love a mystery box, please post what you get!!

Beautiful looking units, love the colours and bases! That's a amazing scheme. What turquoise/blue is that?

Dwarves and tomb kings are 2 armies I never collected back in the day. I have been eyeing up the Highland miniature dwarves, they are beautiful sculpts. And my gobbos will need someone to fight!

Waiting for the rerelease, 3d prints or 2nd hand market?

I sold off loads of my old stuff ages ago, regret it now! Tho I have been collecting 4th edition armies for dark elves, wood elves, o+g and chaos for a few years. I'm loving there is so much choice at the moment!

What armies are people working on? Anyone else dug out some old projects or found dusty boxes from yesteryear? Or even printed a new army. Lets see what's cooking on people's hobby tables!
