After reading your thought process on why the site has what it has, I tried to apply your reasoning when voting. I voted “Yes” because from what I can tell, this edition of the game seems to draw heavily from the Editions of the game that you hold up as the type of Edition this site is for. The amou...

Thank you very much! This is what I was hoping would be the case. One profile and pool of wounds to keep
it quicker and simpler.

Talking about the Daemonic Legions Army List here https://wfb6thcharacters.blogspot.com/p/daemonic-legion-army-list-this-list.html and found on page 27 of the Storm of Chaos Campaign Book. Page 29 says that Instability wounds may be distributed between the mount and the rider. Page 29 also lists the...

My kneejerk reaction from a sweaty meta competitive standpoint is to figure out a way to get multiple wounds at a time on to those Large Targets. A Dogs of War cannon or two in the Rare slots could achieve this. However, I completely understand that this not only relies on guessing inches and some l...

I completely missed that! I just assumed there was some footnote somewhere stating they occupy an additional Special Slot the way some other units occupy additional slots.

Thank you very much for clarifying that for me!

I noticed you guys were saying at the top of this thread that a unit of Chaos Ogres occupies 2 special slots. Where is the rule that states this? I cannot find it in either the Beasts or the Warriors of Chaos Army Books.

I will start off by saying that if these units are fun for you to field, then have at it and make sure fun is your priority. Having said that, I would advise against bringing a Treeman on a 1500pt list. While the cool factor is extremely high, I find in my non expert experience that from a “powergam...

I started to edit my post so that it would no longer show me as “cracking up” but then realized that would make the responses after make no sense so I will just say again that I apologize for the misunderstanding and that I love the lore-y side of things, too. I look forward to your Lore’d Up respon...

This is an extremely interesting way to incorporate the Old World rule into 6th Dwarfs and encourage them to run more melee compositions. If your club allows you to adopt this and you have feedback or generate any battle reports from it I would be extremely interested to read those. Thank you for sh...

Kakapo, just in case you were not joking there I will clarify that I am absolutely always laughing WITH you, after having excitedly read your in character posts. I never meant to deride your efforts to Lore Up the conversation, I just perceived it as trolling/humorous in intent when it is in respons...

First off, thanks to Augrimm for kicking this off and for starting the mathing on Chaos Warriors. I love looking at the statlines and points costs of different units and trying to evaluate their effectiveness and possible standing in the ‘meta’ of 6th Edition. It is very interesting that the marquee...

I am incredibly thankful for and impressed by all the extremely thoughtful and insightful points made in response to my original question. It is wicked cool to hear perspectives and opinions from players with much more experience and with a different history of opponents.

Kakapo is right; for the Variant Army Lists check out page 76 of the O&G Book or https://wfb6thcharacters.blogspot.com/p/night-goblin-army.html?m=1 EDIT: I am noticing they are capped at 50 pts though and both of the goblin specific banners are more than 50 pts, so they are going to only be take...

Alarantalara has it correct- the characters have types, too. You would be using the BSB of that type to bring the specific banner. Also, an easy to miss note is that on top of the Black Orcs and Boar Boyz/Savage Boar Boyz, a Big Uns unit can equip a Magic Banner up to 50 points. This is in addition ...

If you are talking about the choice between Swordsmen and Spearmen for Empire, the Swordsmen also enjoy a WS boost relative to Spearmen and so suffer less hits in addition to saving more wounds with the 4+ armour save. I believe the math works out to favour bringing Swordsmen as your unit expecting ...

I am extremely sorry to hear this. I refer to his 6th Edition blog that contains all the added units and characters to 6th Edition all the time. I hope his family can start to feel better over time.

NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS FROM THIS QUESTION: High Elves may fight in 3 ranks with spears and their stock warrior comes equipped with hand weapon & shield AND spears so they should not be included in the following question. Spears also come gratis on the Dark Elf Warriors, so they are exempt as well. T...

Replying in a second separate post with kneejerk reactions to which “Battle Plan” I think would be most fun for each location. Berrwyn Crossing: I would play the Meeting Engagement here. They are making for the crossing before we can cut them off and we are rushing there to spoil that. Weatherfork J...

I want to first off thank you for posting such a cool and thoughtful campaign, this was fun just to read. Secondly I want to ask a few clarifying questions: Does Intrigue at Court apply here or does Scalfron bypass that when he is present in the lineup? That leads me to the next question- if his dea...

Cant agree more that a war machine and its crew are considered a unit. The only time they do not act as a typical unit would is when they are fleeing from or abandoning their war machine, or re crewing another abandoned war machine. Certainly for the purposes of army selection, purchase, and deploym...

This does seem incredibly nebulous. I think the spirit of the rules leaves room for good faith arguments from both sides. I see two possible rules as written arguments against, but neither seem to be explicitly conclusive. Pg. 57 of the 2004 Book there is a section titled Special Characters and Regi...

Title. The spell (page 150 of the BRB) specifically talks about string weapons and gunpowder weapons. Are Jezzail teams classed as Gunpowder weapons? Technically, they are powered by warpstone and shoot magic lazer beams. Does being soaked affect this unit? Checked the FAQ in the app and I am not se...

Thank you very much for the fun response! I loved reading the great lore-y ways that our general could achieve victory against Clan Skyre. I hear what you are saying about having fun and using thematic armies- dont worry, we play friendly games with fun lists too! We just are so new to the game that...

Thank you very much for taking the time to read all that and for the response. I don’t know if we will use DoW for the exercise but if we do then movement spells or life spells could be the ticket. Unfortunately Jezzails are S6 so they can shoot through Howler Wind, but it is possible the Rain Lord ...

My club has been talking about the possibility that Skaven Jezzails are OP and we have found that at the 1500 point level it is extremely tough for any of the 4 of us to secure even a minor victory against the Skaven (our club went 0-4 against this list over the past two years). Even when the Jezzai...
