Armies of the Kingdoms / 2250 Vs. WoC, HELP

« on: Apr 02, 2012, 01:18:24 PM »

Ok.. i just dont know how to beat this..

2250 points, max shooting range 24", Entire field is Dangerous terrain +1 to wound vs. Monstrous cavalry..

He will certainly have:
40 Marauder block with flails
10 Chosen block of renown (Nurgle), armor peircing
Large block WoC, Nurgle
He may round it out with a shaggoth or two..

1 bad ass character/general
1 bad ass sorcerer of tzeentch

I dont know what to do - any points i put towards IB's will take away points from leadbelchers..
If i make a large block of IG's, he'll carve them up... if i make small blocks, they likely won't even get a return attack.

Any thoughts?

Rules Questions and FAQs / Buildings and Banners

« on: Mar 28, 2012, 06:32:16 PM »

I have been struggling to improve my ogre lot when it comes to fighting in buildings and so i thought well if i put the bsb in there with an eternal flame banner.. that would help a lot but here is my question:

If i do not put the BSB in with the 10 attackers/defenders for combat - do those 10 (3 in our case) still get flaming attacks?

I am thinking yes as the banner grants the unit flaming attacks and even if the BSB was in a rank/on a flank that couldnt participate in the fight, the unit would till have flaming attacks.

I guess the same question could be applied to our dragonhide banner, charge a building, get repelled, rinse and repeat as long as i kept it safe out of the combat.

Rules Questions and FAQs / 2 mournfang units and magic banners?

« on: Mar 10, 2012, 04:24:13 PM »

I am trying to add a second magic banner to a 2nd unit of mournfangs. One unit would have the dragonhide and the other i was thinking a banner of eternal flame... but army builder is barking at me that i cant do that(have 2 mournfang units with 2 magic banners). Is there a limitation?

I did a search but couldn't find anything so i apologize if this has been asked before.

The Butcher's Cauldron / Ogre Specific Markers

« on: Feb 28, 2012, 02:08:16 PM »

Anyone have any player created Ogre specific markers with text and graphics maybe? Such as spell effects (Regen, +1 Tough, etc), banner effects, etc? I'm looking to print and laminate.

The Feeding Grounds / Redirectors.. Sabretusks .. cheesy?

« on: Feb 17, 2012, 01:54:43 PM »

.. i am chalking this up to frustration but last night someone accused using sabre-tusks as re-directors as being "cheesy". It's certainly a strategy any army can use although it's a little easier with a single model unit.. but "cheesy"?

I dont play in ANY external circles aside from our group but following the boards for several races, i never got the impression that re-directors were "cheesy"..

Can anyone clarify this for me? It's a friendly game so i dont want to use "cheese"

Rules Questions and FAQs / Ironblaster and Grapeshot

« on: Feb 05, 2012, 12:34:08 PM »

My VC friend made a mistake last night and put his vampire solo in range of grapeshot of my ironblaster.. i obliged him and made him into vampire pudding.. but i just want to make sure i'm doing it right.

Range 12" and under
Nominate target. Roll the numbered artillery dice and that number rolled = the number of hits. Misfire = Misfire
So if i rolled a 6, i then do 6 strength 10 hits to my target.

Is that correct?
