Tzeralds

Tzerald (ml3) w/11 Pink Horrors < 200pts

Is there a quicker way to grab twenty magic dice? I suppose if I wasn't running them as my primary, I would be stuck with only two units.. max on that for horrors would be six instead of eight.

Fielding four units is basically just sexy. Pop Malefic daemonology on everything and even without a second HQ, it is summoning heaven. You wind up with Flicking Fire all day every day on everything. It is just mind blowing. I am pretty much solid with the idea of saving my hordes of Khorne daemons for summoning rolls and manning my Wall of Martyrs defense network with these guys.

The only thing I have left to do is figure out how to field my Exalted Flamers. I have at least two coming from my brother who occasionally does some beautiful work for me. Local tournaments have been pretty sure they don't want Combined Arms detachments, so I can't really just field a second Herald group. I think having the 50pt Exalted Flamers in units would just give me some extra POW! when folks try to roll up on them. I have at least 600pts of terrain, so for me being able to string that stuff along my deployment zone is ludicrously cool. Even without a greater daemon or princes I can hit 1500pts without fielding flamers and screamers. Just kick back and summon wave after wave of full command bloodletters, blood crushers, or flesh hounds in front of my Defense Network. It isn't a perfect strategy, but it might be really fun to pop four summonings every turn until my Pink Horror units start blowing themselves up.

War Machines in Age of Sigmar

Well, I've been trying to figure this out because with a dwarf/elf army it becomes pretty important- usually like first turn important. After our first game it became apparent that war machines are very dangerous in Age of Sigmar. Something has me puzzled though- and it is part because of the streamlined rules and in part because of conflicting reports I've uncovered on the internet. Let's start at the beginning. WARSCROLLS & UNITS “All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.” “Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls. A unit must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group of models, with all models within 1" of at least one other model from their unit.” When I first read this it seemed very apparent that you would never have more than one unit in a warscroll.

D&D Next- again

So the good folks over at Wizards of the Coast released another playtest for D&D Next. You can sign up and download it here . I love the direction they are going with this edition in general. I suppose I will add some key points here and make some notes about likes and dislikes: Ranger doesn't have a weapon style. Now to me that has irked me. Every ranger was stuck between two weapon fighting and archery for the longest time. What if I don't want that? I am digging the fact they get spells in this edition too. Just a few little magical effects to toss around. Both he and the paladin get cool things to cast, but are primarily just mundane guys. Speaking of the paladin- now here we have a cool way to build a necromancer. I wish they hadn't dropped that specialty after the second playtest. He was kinda of neat twist, but I think the paladin is solid. Can definitely back up heal which is a groovy thing. But then again every one except the wizard currently has ...
