Rules Questions and FAQs / Reign of chaos

« on: Jun 15, 2013, 06:40:26 AM »

Hello guys,

When DoC play along in an allied battle , do they have to roll for the reign of Chaos or only when they field a wizard?
If they have to roll , is every friendly subject to result thrown?

Cheers

Armies of the Kingdoms / 4K against DoC & Beastmen

« on: Jun 10, 2013, 05:03:51 PM »

Hello,

I've got a big 4K game comming up against an alliance of DoC and Beastmen.
I think I've got a sollid list but am not sure wether to take a second lvl 4 SM (Death or Heavens) or spend my points on something else (BIG  ).
I'm pretty sure I will be facing Kairos and some Beastmen hordes. Usually there is some massive daemon cavalry present and some Beastmen chariots.
Battle proven tactics and advice on the SM asked and needed  .
(I'm not posting to much info as I'm pretty sure my opponents will read this too)

cheers

On a roll of 6 , a small template is placed on that unit which scatters D6 inch. After this ,all models under the small template suffer a strength 4 hit with flamming attack.

Rules Questions and FAQs / Another Daemon rule question

« on: May 28, 2013, 02:30:21 PM »

Hi guys,

How does one read the following sentence:

"Roll a D6 for each enemy unit and each friendly unit that contains one or more Damons of Nurgle, or models with the mark of Nurgle, on the board."

A) Roll a D6 for each enemy unit.

B) Roll a D6 for each enemy unit that contains ....

If the way it should be read is case B, it would make a huge difference. Up untill now we always played , like the sentence is read in case A.

Your opinions please.

Cheers

Rules Questions and FAQs / Kairos

« on: May 16, 2013, 01:42:33 PM »

A quick question about Kairos:

One of his abilities is to re roll a D6 of his choice once per turn.
How do I have to see the word turn. Does it mean in each of his turns or in both his and my turns?
I find the explanation in the BRB a bit unclear.


Cheers

Had a good conversation yesterday with my opponent about the subject and afterwards we agreed to no longer claim two models in case A. Thanks for all the explanations. And sorry for my difficult wordings

Yes Thunderlord , I was referring to A and glad as well that you guys would hesitate also to give two models.
I agree with B , no problem there but A mmmmmmh no 

Thx for making it clear with a picture, now some more comments

I totally agree with you netminder.

BUT if the WLC was right in front of you ,and the line between the bounce and the explosion runs between two bases of two models of the same rank, you would still let the Skaven player claim two models of the same rank?? I am having it hard to accept that 

But there is allways the chance of him having himself blowing up as you mentioned

I think I didn't explain myself very well 
I'm not contesting the fact that everything under the template is hit nor the fact that the shot is not stopped by MI.
The only thing I find a little weird is the following:
You fire the WLC , you pick a point , then you have the first bounce and then the second where the shot ends and the shot explodes ( no problem here). But between the first bounce and the second you have to draw an imaginary line to see who's hit , and here my opponent claims if the line runs between two bases in the same rank ( where the bases touch each other) they are both hit, although I thought only one model per rank could be hit -> because it fires like a cannon!!

Hope this is more clear to you guys to give your point of view.

Cheers

So you should move the small template in a straight line to see who's hit?
That's one hell of a weapon

Rules Questions and FAQs / Warp lightning cannon

« on: May 13, 2013, 03:23:24 PM »

Hello guys,

I don't know if this is the right place but here I go.

The last games I played were All encounters against Skaven, and although usually succesfull , my last game I was wiped out. The critical phase were I lost 6 Mournfangs costed me the game. But here's my question :

Imagine you firing with a warplightning cannon straight at a unit of Mournfangs , can you claim hitting TWO bases with the initial line before placing the small template when the shot ends. I thought only one model could be hit because it fires like a cannon but apparantly the WLC is an exception??? So when the line runs through two bases, there where they touch each other, they both are hit.

Can anyone please confirm this with a decleration from the BRB or the army book Skaven.

I've got a game comming up this friday and would love to see my opponents face when I can : no you cannot claim yhem beiing hit both!

Cheers

From my experience nothing to really worry about. (I've played them several times the last weeks and never lost an ogre to it )

Thx guys for all the answers. At least now I know there is a possibility to have a kind of "save" against the purple sun (all my opponents are huge fans of this spell, I wonder why  ). Oh another quick question: what do you guys think of a Flying SM with Hellheart that races (well flies) to the opponent's side and uses it (turn 1 or 2). I would like to use this against those pale guys ( VC ) . Worth it or a waste of points?

Cheers

Hi all,

a couple of days ago I played a very amusing game against my Skaven playing friend. It was a hard fought battle until the end and I lost the game with only 106.5 points of difference  .
But there were some situations were I would like to have your opinion:

- The Stormbanner : does it only affects the enemy or also yourself?

- The Runemaw : can you bounce off a purple sun?(didn't happen but just wondering)   

-Can you take a "Look out sir" roll on magic spells?

- He had a certain unit which was classed as "mixed". This unit couldn't be destroyed directly in CC because there were two different unit types in it. Is this correct? (Big rats with a Skaven rat and whip behind it, NOT the Ogre rats!)

- When you declare a charge and he flees, you redirect your charge and he flees again  , what happens with your unit? (Failed charge?)

Thx in advance

ps: Look out for Gutter Runners!!!!!

Rules Questions and FAQs / Re: Characters and Dead Units

« on: Apr 26, 2012, 05:11:33 PM »

Got a question about this topic.

How do you count VP here? Given the fact they are considered as one unit, and you only get VP for destroyed units, you can't claim any VP? And what if there is only one character standing in a bunker unit of lets say 3 characters (tyrant,bsb and butcher) and an unit of 6 IG; The butcher,bsb and 6 IG get killed and only the tyrant stays on the field,can you get any VP for the IG , butcher and BSB?
We are having an animated discussion in our club about this, so any proven (BRB or FAQ) comment would be very welcome.

Cheers

Hi you guys,

just had a friendly 2000 points game last night against Skaven and suffered a minor loss, but it was a really fun game.

Some advice for my fellow tyrants :

- watch out for the doomwheel, its shooting attacks can really hurt.I nearly lost my stonehorn in turn 1 due to it, the doomwheel didn't make it to turn 3  .

- The Hell pit is hard as hell and causes real pain. Kill it as soon as possible.

- The combination Queek with stormvermin is hard even for us ogres, the combined love of the IB and leadbelchers should do the work.

But it was fun , and up until turn 5 their was no real winner but then i lost my tyrant and all hell broke lose 

cheers

In my previous encounters with VC, hellheart always gave good results. IMO our own lore plus the lore of fire or lore of the beasts works best against them. That is if your offensive minded

It will be a very static game next time
No more head over heels all front attack.
And I will keep your advice in mind

« on: Feb 21, 2012, 06:58:23 PM »

I fielded an IG unit of 8 and within it I had a lvl4 SM a Tyrant and a BSB with the banner that gives you flaming attacks, a unit of 7 bulls with a firebelly in it , a unit of six mournfangs with the dragonhide banner, 3 Yettees (because normally he fields ethereals) and a unit of 40 gnoblars. I must admit it is a very CC oriented army but against my other opponents it works well.I don't think that his goul king was his general, he had a necromancer as general.He had a vamp lord ( or hero?) on horse integrated in his unit of skeletons.Oh I almost forgot I also field 6ME with an ogre pistol and the scouts and stubborn rule, and the standard of discipline.

Played a game last weekend against Vampire Counts, and it wasn't fun.
I faced a terrorgheist with a ghoul on it , a"normal" terrorgheist , mortis engine ,two corps carts, 60 skeletons and i think two blocks of zombies totalling them around 70. There were also 3 necromancers and one vampire lord. The terrorgheist with the goul king on it just ate my army and I couldn't do anything about it. After 6 turns of putting away my ogres in their boxes the only thing left was my tyrant. It was a very onesided game with no fun at all.
One advice for my fellow ogres : watch out for terrorgheist (schriek attack, regeneration and hard as hell) and certainly avoid the one with the goul king( both have schriek attack, both have regeneration and both are hard as hell and have a -1 to your leadership).Oh yeah they both fly and tend to land BEHIND your troops.
Very very disapointing game

Rules Questions and FAQs / leadbelchers and LOS

« on: Nov 09, 2011, 04:35:41 PM »

Hello guys,

got a question about LOS.
Imagine the following situation:

a horde of gnoblars and right behind it a squad of leadbelchers. Now , can the squad of leadbelchers fire from behind ( and over )the horde of gnoblars? They are bigger then the gnoblars and normally will have a line of sight at the enemy.

cheers.

Rules Questions and FAQs / Ethereals

« on: Nov 07, 2011, 05:09:52 PM »

Hello guys,

i'm facing VC in a few days and I am stuck on a few things. I've already discussed them with my friend ( the VC player) but i'm not really covinced by his arguments.
So here are my issues:

Do impact hits and stomp attacks hit ethereals? Following the BRB they cause automatic hits. What do you guys think.

Are the effects of a magical banner considered as magical attacks. Given the fact that a magical banner is a magical item and magical items have magical attacks. So would the banner of eternal flame not only give the unit it is in flaming attacks but also magical attacks due to the fact that it is a magical item and it effects are considered as magical attacks.

Are ethereals immune to difficult terrain tests?


Comments and thoughts are welcome. If you give a reason why or why not please give a reference.

cheers

when I played against VC recently, my IG pretty much walked trough his centre ( wiping out a big unit of skeletons and a horde of ghouls). The only thing I hadn't an answer to was his fully pimped Black Coach; it was a real pain in the ass. I feel like OK don't really have something against "ethereal".
