  1. I must be missing something..... where does it say that we can flee AND charge? Scurry Away is not worded that way....
  2. It's my understanding that when you pay the points for an endless spell, all of the casters in your army have access to it. They simply can't cast it twice, and if it gets dis-spelled, you can't recast it until a later turn.
  3. I hope you're right.... My wallet wants some extra room in it that can only be provided by this type of release!
  4. That may be, but it still stands as I stated.... there's no guarantee that there'll be any real new stuff for StD, other than a hero or two, endless spells and maybe some kind of terrain. Just sayin'.
  5. Hm.... Let's not forget that BoC got only endless spells and a herdstone. And it looks, at least so far, that shaven haven't gotten too much either. The endless spells, sure. Gnawholes, check. A rocket engineer? Yup. Not really too much else that I can see. Fact is, the armies that have been around a long time and have a plethora of units already available i.e. StD only get the bare minimum as far as new stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see a Mammoth, maybe some shooting units but we'll just have to wait and see. Chaos just doesn't seem to get the love as much as Death and Order.
  6. Either that OR, more likely, the price of VLs will go up once it becomes apparent just how OP they are.... Points adjustments are inevitable. Maybe a nic 'move toward the middle'. As, I think, VLs will increase by approx 20-40 pts, maybe the GUOs could come down 20?
  7. These are all great choices. I've also brought: Gildenbane - negates an opponents artifact when within 3 inches, Argent armor - for -1 to hit Rune blade for -3 rend and Hydroxskin cloak for fly and d3 mortal wounds om a unit you pass over. All from the realm of Chamon
  8. I can't find the list I used, but this one you show is basically the same. You can give the VL either the dimensional blade,(great v those good armor save units), or the sword of judgement for hero/monster sniping.
  9. 40 is the way to go..... with all the shots, they can be a real pain. I've taken Valkia and a bloodsecrator off the table with one turn of shooting, splitting shots.Then had them pump arrows into anything that came near until they were gone. Spent some points and brought back a couple smaller ambush units to annoy the heck out of my opponent. It worked well.
  10. I've used Slimux, and if you are careful with him, he can keep up. That said, I've had better luck, imo, with a vermin lord corruptor. Fast enough to keep up, and I give him one of the @$$-kicking artifact blades i.e. dimensional blade or sword of judgement. He's a real force with those 10 attacks!. And while he may be squishy-er than Slimux, you can help him a bit with possibly healing him from your GUO. I've never had him not get his points back, he can be a real pain to armies with that one big guy that everything hinges on (Nagash, Stardrake, etc) and is cool looking on the table as well. All good.
  11. I don't know..... there's still plenty of stuff out there that can shoot him down pretty quickly. It's hard, next to impossible to screen that big dude from shooting. I usually have to shadow him with Festus so he can potentially get 2d3 wounds back per turn. That's a huge point sink even though Festus has a cool (if short range) spell to offer.
  12. Good question, but I'm going out on a limb here and say that only one of two can be a 6........
  13. Have to have a herald on a steed. That'll keep up with them. Right?
  14. You do know that both Archie and the Glottkin can only choose one of those spells, right?
  15. Yeah, they can be kind of a let down. However, the artifacts from Malign Sorcery can beef them up quite a bit. (as well as any other hero😉)
  16. Ditto on the SCE remark. Space Marines really have no place in Fantasy, imo. They've certainly gotten all the love as far as new releases. I'd like to see the chaos factions get a little of that attention, BoC, Slaanesh (hopefully Wrath and Rapture addresses this), and Skaven need some new stuff for sure.
  17. 1. No reason why not. 2. Just heal him in your next hero phase with Corpulent Mass ability.
  18. He can't be used in matched play, unless you just use the model to represent a Beastlord, like I do.
  19. I was talking about how Plaguebeares can be used when summoned....
  20. Blightkings are great. But they aren't summonable. Units of 10 PBs can be a major pain for your opponent when summoned in as speed bumps.
  21. I've had success with units of 3. I just shadow them with a DP or a vermin lord with an artifact (sword of judgement or something)
  22. ^^ what he said. But here's something to think about: A lord on demonic mount can buff a unit of chariots (+1 to hit, re-roll charge), and Sail the Faithless can teleport them anywhere they can fit in on the table top. Very disrupting for your opponent to have a unit of three gore beast chariots materialize in front of an important unit/character.
