The only one that I can think of off the top of my head is Wyvern; but that's mostly due to 18" leadership bubble and S6 for good thunderstomps.<br /><br />The unridden (or howda ridden) monsters are fine; stegs are great, hydras are awesome, warsphynx is very good, terrorgheist is pretty amazing as well.<br /><br />With the rumors that are coming out for some of the ogre monsters, I think they'll be pretty key as well.<br /><br />Monsters are good because they let you put a lot of points of killing power into a relatively small frontage. This allows you to concentrate force (and points) into a small area in order to team up with more units to in turn force superior matchups in your favor.<br /><br />Magic sucks for everyone, and with large multi-wound models, it sucks when you take fail that important I test. That's a bonus that ridden monsters have a least; they get to use the riders values.Vilicatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104092680953343433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-37995882914422818952011-08-09T14:15:24.985-04:002011-08-09T14:15:24.985-04:00What would you deem as a good solution to the disp...What would you deem as a good solution to the disparity between close combat heroes/monsters and magic users? Making magic more expensive/close combat heroes cheaper or what?Icebonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242741057373731581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-45181751920664011032011-08-09T13:55:01.845-04:002011-08-09T13:55:01.845-04:00I'm going to have to disagree with you on that...I'm going to have to disagree with you on that Dark Elf Dragon - I hate the model with a passion :(<br />However the other kits are fantastic, especially the new Vampire Counts Dragon/Terrorgheis and the Cockatrice, which are simply wonderful :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-35880692740315376512011-08-09T11:21:34.636-04:002011-08-09T11:21:34.636-04:00Heh, I haven't played since the Semi-finals at...Heh, I haven't played since the Semi-finals at 'Ard Boyz. There's a big con in my area the weekend after the Nova (in which there's also a 5-game 40k GT, which I'll be struggling through) that will have a 3-game Fantasy RTT. I'm very much looking forward to getting back into Fantasy, after 40k 'tournament season' is over :-p<br /><br />Also, I'm looking into Malifaux as a cheap alternative game.Xaerethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128303819082218339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-18701377059293280152011-08-09T06:28:54.081-04:002011-08-09T06:28:54.081-04:00Yeah, it's been months since I've played a...Yeah, it's been months since I've played and I'm really starting to get that itch.

I have a Lizardman army which I have sadly never played, and while it's basically designed to make Stegadons "playable" against Cannon lists by stacking Light defences and Ward Saves, it's an all out effort to give it an even "reasonable" shot at not getting shot off the board. <br /><br />I would really like to play more Fantasy, actually.Purgatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434824912752472018noreply@blogger.com
