Sounds like another new army. *I hope my comment spawns a BoLS and SpikeyBitz baitclick article and I get some ad revenue. I wouldn't be surprised for another Aelf release, particularly tied into Slaanesh. Haha well no.
-
Originally I got both on my iPhone they day they were released. I suspect they have been reprinted in other forms such as Inferno and yes Prince Maesa. If there is an Advent entry for him that may genuinely be new? The book is unreleased but upcoming. However it is a full length novel, not one of the shorter novellas he's written about Deepkin. I would highly recommend you get on BLs mailing list. I just email them directly. There is a Contact Us address on their webpage. Also when they post on social media (FB, Twitter, etc) follow up there and say "hey I'm really excited that there is a book coming out with a unit I love" or whatever. I also rate things in iTunes (or whatever the iBooks store is on my phone). 5-star for anything wood elf related
-
Um... Okay.
-
Sure but that doesn't mean he will always be in command range for the re-rolls. I believe it is close range. The AoS group creator on FB Larry Barbra is a champion of 200 Ungors and has been for a couple years. I don't know if he has an account here; I suspect he does.

David Guymer has a unit of Wardancers in his upcoming Idoneth novel. I highly recommend when it comes out, buying it and letting BL know you bought it for the Wardancer lore. That's how you get more. Also there are 2 Guy Haley releases (one audio drama, one novella) about a Wanderer Glade Lord on a Great Stag. They've been linked,... maybe in the Pre 2.0 link so at any rate search them out and give them love also

The BoC rumour coming true was delightful and honestly surprising we got something like that.
-
Me too.
-
I think the issue people have with Rangers is White Lions and Executioners have some really good abilities for fewer points. But it's a vacuum unless you are playing mixed order and have those units. Thus people miss this key detail constantly which as done well for me. Gors,.. also suck. Neat lore though. I quite liked the rulebook lore about the Kurnouth being whom Alarielle goes and romps it up with seasonally. I feel they are kinda bringing back a bit of the old lore people still want rather than a 100% re-write of the universe.
-
It is obvious at this point Wanderer shooting/gun line is get pegged down a notch. The BoC book showed what synergy can do for units and man,.. there are a lot of Wanderer warscrolls I want a re-write for. But I would start looking more at combat oriented since shooting isn't going to get me anywhere, at least. This is good and something I neglected as much as the flip-side sword argument. My local meta doesn't have ghosts that I've faced and I see a lot of saves. Overtninja makes great points as well. I also have 6 Sword Hunters. But I never run them #BecauseBlightkings.
-
I 100% struggle with everything so I go online to complain. Just let it go buddy, making multiple complaints about it isn't getting anywhere. Email BL and say "I would pay money if you guys put all those stories in an iBook or ePub or .mobi." Then moving on dot com.
-
Scythes. Reach and rend. There are maybe 2 people who fly the Sword-flag in the Sylvaneth thread but 6 Scythes do more damage than 3 Swords, especially if you see a bit of luck in your opponent with rolling 6+ saves. Also Rangers perform better behind EG since they have better reach than sword-hunters and don't take up your ally portion. Hunters are tanky, you want that tankyness to be part of your use.
-
I agree, free stuff is bad and literally after a neat book, new models, free stories,.. total let down... O_O ffs
-
Are you happy with your 6 man units? Does it often or ever equate to more than just ablative wounds? So you aren't taking Gore Pilgrims. I want to combine both Wrathmongers and Gore Pilgrims on a spam of Bullgors. Mine is a Bestigor BSB
-
I meant drop to 5. Also you don't want to really be pushing hugely on an alpha charge, second turn is the BoC way. I'm just trying to present a view of the BoC side, and less the Khorne side?
-
I was reminded it was Wrathmongers I would want in as well. 3 drop army but they're worth it.
-
Exactly. I would drop the Bloodwarriors, 3rd Slaughterpriest, perhaps the Bloodstoker, in hopes of also getting in a Ghorgon. The Formation costs to do this is ridiculous for the benefit essentially of +1A on 9 Bullgors. I would almost be tempted to drop the 2nd Slaughterpriest as well. I've been doing fairly well in a moderate climate of tournament meta with a Warherd army. And you play them for the -2 rend and 3 dmg and use other tools instead of the Herdstone/spells rend. I've struggled with Bullgors at 6-large (they just seem like needless wounds) especially as I prefer to send 3 Bullgors, a Doombull and a Ghorgon at the enemy instead of 6 buffed Bullgors.
-
Not me, I do really well with 4x 10 Dryads. Often -2 to hit with the Treestomp around as well. They pump out a good number of attacks and are great at being road blocks while the heavy hitters are off dealing with bigger threats. And that's fine to have that opinion.
-
I prefer 10-man also. 3 threats and they can still pump out the hurt at 10-man. Also you can get them all within range of aSpawn if you are playing Gavespawn. I would not swap 3 Bullgor and a CP for a ghorgon. I love my ghorgon(s).
-
Okay fair enough. I've used Winterleaf for a while now and really like it. The re-rolling has always impressed me. But the Frostheart is a powerful warscroll indeed.
-
Sure but you should want for Wanderers to be better ? Vince is often incorrect on rulings he states in the show when it comes to obscure or weirder rules. And deliberately pronounces things incorrectly to be "funny". I would take him with a grain of salt.
-
I see why you would do 10-man units, it is easier to visualize the damage output. However a comparison of 3 swords vs 6 Scythes is equally as valid. This debate has raged since the book was dropped. Also I think your last paragraph highlights my point that we should be looking at this not as a dmg output argument. Will the Frostheart get to re-roll 1s vs chaos or is the rule Sylvaneth only? If the latter I would drop it to make use of that ability as you are paying for it, and it is good.
-
Hmmm I thought they were BL based on the general. Thanks for the catch. Wrathmongers also. Bloodsecrator + Wrathmongers aren't hard to get onto Bullgors (and in Khorne re-rolling 1s to hit on that many attacks helps more) and can be a good second line charge after your glass cannon goes poof. I like this but I would pump more units into it from Brass Despoilers than Gore pilgrims as the benefits of boosting Bullgors or Bestigors is a greater payoff than bossing Bloodreavers. 6-man Bullgors... your enemy has to be really spread out for that to be more than 12 extra wounds. But I'm arguing your details,.. (also I play Open Play cards, not scenarios). Clearly we're both on the same direction
-
Do you find a lot of situations in game where 10 Swords are all in B2B with only a 1" reach? The argument of Swords vs Scythes is about reach and list building, not dmg. 2 x 3 Swords vs 1 x 6 Scythes as both options are good.
-
Oh?! It would be neat for some new characterful Heralds.
-
Yup. What Rhu said about Slaanesh, as much as I want to run a KHorne Minotaur list again I'm pretty excited to combine Slaanesh and Beasts.
