Once per game, if your flag does not have a gold fringe... Also check out this art of what seems to be the big kit.  Gnarly.

If your opponent asks to see the stats for a unit, you do not have to comply If the stats for a unit are printed in all capital letters, this represents the lien the state has created for the unit's identity and not the unit itself

They are not horrible. But they could use some improvements. Skaven will really appreciate a battletome that combines their factions.

True story once when I was a kid I asked to see a rule in my opponent's army book and he told me if I wanted to see the rule I had to buy the book myself.

I just had the guy in my high school gaming group who created an all Chaos Terminator list in 5th edition because he "wrote GW and they sent him rules to let him do it" or something along those lines. In hindsight, he fudged his dicerolls and points values all the time and never let us see a list, so I'm not too surprised.

Rules question: If my unit has a 3" melee attack and charges a unit but I stay exactly at 3", can they attack back or would they have to wait for their next fight phase to pile in?

MonsterEnvy posted:I think they have to pile in still. On that note: if a model has a 3" melee attack (this being the Slann Starmaster in this case), its charge has to end within 1/2" of the enemy unit anyway right? If that's the case how do they ever make use of their 3" range? Could they roll enough to potentially be within 1/2" but stop at 3" and be able to attack? The range of melee attacks is confusing me, lol

So that Slann could be behind a unit of skinks and still be able to attack.

I painted up the first 20 dudes for a mob of Free Company Militia (Freeguild Guard with militia weapons) recently: Still need to do a musician and banner, and round out the mob to 30 or 40.

Okay I think really I'm just looking for a faction where I can play a couple monsters in a 2k game and be cool with that. Ironjawz I could do the Maw Krusha and I guess a giant but I have no clue if giants are worth it. Death seems like it's got plenty of good monster sized stuff though. Can you ally with more than one other faction or just one?

Death seems like it's got plenty of good monster sized stuff though. each Grand Alliance has a decent selection of big things but most of Destruction's are forgeworld I think. The Rogue Idol, Troggoth Hag and Colossal Squig can ally into Ironjaws but are Forgeworld. I think the Gargants (giants) are okay but very random. Fun to play with but very unreliable and squishy with a 5+ save. Allies are just whoever you can fit in the point allotment. You can mix grots and a gargant or whatever. edit: they really should have made Spiderfang Grots an Ironjawz ally. Danimo fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Jan 28, 2018 |

SteelMentor posted:If you're after a monster faction you really can't go wrong with the Beastclaws. Yeah that's fair, plus not needing to paint very many models  I Honestly Orcs, Skaven and VCs have always been the armies in WH that have interested me the most (I used to play Orks in 40k for quite a while). From what I understand playing actual vampires/non-monster characters can be quite a liability since individual characters can get sniped so easily. Any grapevine info about what's coming after the Brides of Khaine?Danimo posted:edit: they really should have made Spiderfang Grots an Ironjawz ally. It's funny that they aren't since GWs warscroll builder on their website lets you.

S.J. posted:Any grapevine info about what's coming after the Brides of Khaine? Nothing concrete. Current speculation points to another updated Aelves army (High Elf flavoured this time) and Moonclan Grots as they didn't get updated in the current GH, like Brides. One rumour I keep hearing is for an updated Slaves to Darkness/Darkoath faction focused around the Warqueen and featuring new Marauder barbarian types, but it's based on nothing and I only bring it up because I seriously hope it's real.

We are also hoping for character targeting rules like in 40k to prevent characters from just getting sniped.

Otherwise all those undead guys being able to res multiple units won't mean poo poo. Oh hey, if I'm thinking about Skaven, would it be a good purchase to get the Spire of Dawn starter if I can get ahold of it? I don't even know if I can put all of those models in the same drat list. e: Also, thanks for answering my questions, guys. It's still blowing my mind just how much loving nothing GW tells people about the game without spending money on the rules. I mean, I work at my FLGS, so I know, but holy poo poo.

I dusted off my Sigmars for a change of pace the other day and turn 1 my general got pin-cushioned half to death. Though I would argue they'd need to retrofit some sniper style abilities otherwise cheap-rear end Arcane Missile spam wizards behind walls of chaff will be the most obnoxious thing.

With the leaked rules for death, something has to give on hero sniping. They are taking a very challenged allegiance and making them distinctly worse with these new rules, unless hero targeting gets a complete overhaul.

They make rules that sound fine in a vacuum but they don't design half of their models in context of the actual god drat rules of the game.

Just finished my first babby game of Aos. Played about 500points of Nurgle Daemons VS. Stormcast. I was kind of down on the plague drones models, but holy crap. If you can keep a hero around them, they put out a lot of attacks and last a really long time. I was thinking of building into more of a mix of plaguebearers and blight kings, but now I'm thinking to load up on plague drones and maybe a DP or Lord of Affliction to ride with them.

Bonesplitterz feel so weird to play. Each regular Boy is 2W/6+ (5+ in melee). So they play like a horde army but without the actual number of models. Also they get a special damage table for fighting monsters that make them scary good at killing big stuff even with chaff units.
