For a guy who doesn't play Fantasy except at Tournaments, this is my only chance of knowing what new armies are capable of - whereas I generally buy the new 40k Codices when they come out (whether I'm going to play them or not), I simply can't afford $40 for new army books for a game I don't even play that often :-pXaerethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128303819082218339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-61109141474396230022011-09-19T05:11:54.268-04:002011-09-19T05:11:54.268-04:00What, no Rock Eye? ;)
I have to disagree with you...What, no Rock Eye? ;) <br />I have to disagree with you on the Hellheart. I think it is, at the very least, a pretty good item, bordering on great.<br />The thing that makes it great is that, for 50pts, it basically allows you to cancel one of your opponent's magic phases. If you manage to catch 2 enemy wizards in HH's radius, which is doable, that's two miscast rolls (resulting in power dice lost at the very least) and two extra dispel dice for you. That's a magic phase severly nutured, if not completely stopped altogether, all before your opponent has even cast a spell.<br /><br />Granted, it's not much use vs Teclis, but I think everyone agrees he should be in a category all by himself... <br />As for cupped hands, well, if nothing else at least it will have been used then.<br /><br />Pretty good stuff on the rest though :)Thalencharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757703078098937114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-21427084185717285512011-09-16T18:36:24.030-04:002011-09-16T18:36:24.030-04:00Thanks for the compliment.

You have some good thoughts on those points, I haven't playtested obviously so this really is my initial impressions all around.<br /><br />Crown of Command I was divided on. Ofcourse it is great. But with such easy access to Stubborn I wasn't sure if it was an auto-include for Ogres. The standard of discipline is also a very fine choice for the reasons you mention.<br /><br />The Greedy Fist I still don't like. It does nifty stuff for an SM, but I don't know if what it does is worth the points.Nikephoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484058926496438148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-78862549381411269352011-09-16T18:11:00.743-04:002011-09-16T18:11:00.743-04:00I like the Greedy Fist on a Slaughtermaster. It a...I like the Greedy Fist on a Slaughtermaster. It at least makes him S5, and gives out the ability to put a hurt on Warrior Wizards (Chaos Sorcerers, Vampires, etc). That being said, I haven't had the points available (or made them available) to take it yet, so maybe that's saying more than I let on.<br /><br />Also, I'm a big fan of the Dragonhide Banner. It's great for unit that probably isn't going to break a unit on the first round of combat due to ranks really put a big extra hurt on people; I'm throwing it on my Mournfang Cav to make sure what they're charging is definitely not going to have steadfast anymore when I'm done.<br /><br />Also, no mention of the Banner of Discipline? That seems like a gimme for the unit your Slaughtermaster is going in. I've been giving mine to a unit of Ironguts he goes into, and taking the Crown of Command so that his unit is stubborn without having to cast Spinemarrow.<br /><br />eh, my 2 cents. I think you're doing an awesome job with the review.Vilicatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104092680953343433noreply@blogger.com
