Don’t you put that evil on me haha. Painting all that will take me a year or more or sure. I’ve still got the initial wave to finish!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I will see you on the other side.

I think it is better to take a unit of 20 Sentinels versus multiple small ones. Easier to deliver the damage where you want it while doing enough of it to make a difference.

I think I am going to cut the sheaths off the Bladelords, unless they look very different in person. The banners are cool, but the sheaths make it look like they just have one long stick from bottom to top.

Listen, it is POSSIBLE that I ordered two of these guys before the battletome previews were up. I'm gonna need you to get on board here.

All good. I will keep them far separated on the table. As to the why- have you seen their warscroll?!

Let's get after what we really want here, which is for the Unique label to be removed.

@LuminethMage They put a full spread of your same paint scheme in the book looks like. That's gotta be some inspiration! And, I have to say yours aren't far off from that at all. I ended up increasing my order....so many elves coming. Now those of us out here just need to hope our models made it through the Suez Canal before the block up!

Yeah the variety is really the thing for me. I can choose many different ways to play, all with great models.

I am talking about the fact that you came to a thread specifically for people who want to discuss LRL, to proclaim that someone saying a new unit looked fun was crazy/dumb/fill-in unfriendly term and to tell everyone here that you decided you won't play against them. If you are looking for better ways to spend your time......

That is what I am talking about. Excellent decision. Did you throw away your armies yet? That is in Appendix A of the new battletome. Listen, I don't make the rules, but you do have to follow them.

You did it. You fed the troll. Easily understandable but you must be on guard right now comrade! Look for signs like follow ups where they say “keep in mind no spells will be cast” or “don’t forget LRL make you auto lose and throw away your army.”

They probably cannot. If you play those armies, I'd advise quitting now.

Ok so I am considering now whether a second fox spirit is worth it. You clearly would not take two in an army that has more than one unit of Sentinels, and arguably not in an army that has any ballistas. Maybe though, in an army heavy on Wardens, Stoneguard, and/or Bladelords?

I am absolutely not a GW apologist, a quick view of my past posts will make that clear haha, but usually if things are really truly broken it becomes apparent once the play happens at tournament level. I am not sure LRL are at that level, at least when I look at them.

They should be able to take the Great Nations ones I think. Unless that changed in new book.

I didn't take it that way at all. Yeah spell for Regent, also he looks cool haha.

Just think about how tall the Stonemage will be on the Sanctum lol. I realized I didn’t address first question. If you want Vanari heavy list, I would definitely get the new mounted hero, but I would also buy a couple more Sentinel boxes. Lore seekers and Calligrave for sure. Dawnriders for me are hard to use, but amazing models. So that’s totally up to taste. I don’t have a tremendous amount of table time with them.

So I am really not sold on multiple Ballistas, especially when you already have a unit of 20 Sentinels. I assume this list is intentionally not using temple units? If that is the case I might another unit of Sentinels (if you do drop the ballista). If not, finding room for a battle cow of any variety seems like a good idea.

My friend, I just dropped so much money haha. I ended up doing 3 units of Windchargers, and 2x each of Loreseekers, Bladelords, and Windmages. Plus a ballista, regent, calligrave, and Sephireth.

I just had a really cool mental picture of a battle between a boat squadron and a couple Windmages, Foxes, and Hurakans. That would be fun to play out on the table.

Now I am trying to decide if I should get 2x Windmages and 2x Calligraves. Probably only doing one ballista.

Ok- saw the warscrolls on the NZ page. The Windchargers are GOOD. That is a nice surprise. The 360 of the Loreseeker is awesome also. As to the other thread on General, I just will say again there is not much to be gained from trying to reason someone away from a poorly informed or biased opinion, especially on the internet. Just let whomever wants to be in that thread complaining do their thing, we can do ours here. This is too good a release to spend any time at all feeding trolls. High Elves are back!

I live in the Far East! By tomorrow I mean Saturday.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the claims of a Negative Play Experience about models that literally nobody has played against yet (outside beta testers)? And don’t tell me it’s “because I can tell how the rules will play” when the justification for calling something a NPE in this exact thread is how it feels to actually play against it, not theorycraft it. Give me a break.
