    Hat jemand schonmal drüber nachgedacht, dass es parallel zu AoS immer noch die Möglichkeit gibt eine 9te Edition rauszubringen? Die Hoffnung möchte ich mir noch bewahren, mal sehen ob die ABs wieder kommen.


    E: Ich gebe noch nicht auf und erweitere meine Armee momentan immer noch, sind recht günstig die Minis bei ebay im Moment...

    Ja, es wird immer mehr wie ich es befürchtet habe. Alleine schon der Balken an der Seite, auf welchem die Jahreszahlen von Warhammer stehen, spricht für ein Ende.


    Ich werde der 8. treu bleiben. AoS wird mich nicht kriegen wenn man den ersten Gerüchten trauen kann.

    Lord und Master auf Echse eine Auswahl
    Sorceress auf Pferd eine Auswahl
    Bolt Throwers eine Auswahl
    Locks eine Auswahl
    Lehre des Todes eine Auswahl
    MW10 und potentiell Spirit Leach eine Auswahl


    Sollte also mit 6 Auswahlen etwas zuviel sein.


    Dazu sind für einen Echsenbus die 6 Stück eigentlich zu wenig. Der Rest könnte so als MSU durchgehen... Leider ist die Armee etwas zu statisch. Deine Zauberin schluckt gleich 3 Auswahlen und hat auf dem Ross nichtmal ne etwas größere Einheit zum verstecken. Ich hab sie auch schon mit dem Mantel gespielt, bin aber einfach nicht überzeugt. Da müssen nur irgendwelche Harpien oder ein Adler kommen und die ist weg.

    What happened? Right – what everyone expects. Phoenix Guard charged the witches,
    wiped them out and caught the Lord in the overrun. His characters killed some
    witches who fled and got also caught.



    Having only my Sorceress and one unit of Locks left I decided to try the save way. Now
    Dwellers could`ve made a difference. Nothing happens in my turn.


    He then made a mistake in my opinion. He took the characters behind the hill and turned
    the Phoenix Guard to show their front to my Locks. Nothing else happened.



    I decided to go all in - Dragon and Locks into his Guard. In magic I had again T7
    Elves (what is really fantastic) and in the following combat I killed most of
    them by loosing nothing in return. They got ran down by the Locks.



    In his last turn he tried to kill my Locks but failed to wound and they made their
    break check.


    That was the end of the game. It was a close 11-9 win for me with 300 points
    in my favour (just a single victory point more and it would`ve been a
    12-8 ). I will not post my summary now but will do it after some meanings
    of you. Thanks for reading so far.

    We rolled for spells and I ended with Flesh, Throne, Shield and Regroth. I could`ve taken Dwellers but decided that Throne can be more important. My opponent had Miasma, Withering, Pendulum and Pit of Shades. The last two both are good against Dragons...


    We rolled for scenario and I had the honour to choose... I took Meeting Engagement – just for the fun and to have some combats.


    So let`s start with deployment:



    He won the roll off and chose the top - so I had to deploy my units first. Being very optimistic
    to get the first turn I elected to play very offensive and that`s how I
    deployed. Two strong flanks with my Locks and Dragons, Sorceress behind the
    right top stones. Elithmar placed his shooters behind the hill in the middle.
    His right flank seemed to be very week with only his reavers and they`ve been
    way too close to my units as you will see. After his deployment I placed my
    shades to threaten his Swordmasters and Bolt Thrower. He didn`t get the “6” to
    steal the initiative and I started with my first turn.


    Turn 1:


    I charged the Locks at the bottom in his first Reaver unit – he had to hold as
    they would`ve fled off the board. I also charged the Riders in his Reavers
    where he chose to take the charge (note: at first he chose to S+S and we both
    didn`t recognize that these reavers had only spears – he killed three with his
    bows until we saw it and put the models back...). The rest of my army moved forward
    just the Sorceress on the Dragon held back. In magic I got a Soulblight off on
    the Reavers. Then we moved to combat and the Locks did what they can do best.
    Unfortunately my Riders couldn`t break the Reavers as a single High Elf stood
    his ground (he managed to do the LD4 reroll test).



    Elithmar then started his turn also with a charge. I love these games with bloody first
    rounds. His Silver Helms got into the front of my Dark Riders but he lost 2 in
    the fence. The rest of his army moved cautiously forward to shoot my poor Dark
    Elves and his Eagle moved to block my Locks. In the magic phase he lowered the
    BS of my Shades by two or three (I don`t care) and I stopped the Withering on
    my Dragonlord. Then he aimed at my Riders with most of his shooting and killed
    all but one – luckily I know how to roll ones and twos for panic. The Bolt Thrower
    then wounded my Dragon twice and my Rider with a single bolt – Dragon couldn`t
    make a 5+ save though. In Combat my Riders managed to kill the remaining Reaver
    and another Silver Helm before they fled with only two guys left (which is
    still above 25%).


    Turn 2:


    In my turn two the charges continue with the Dragonlord going into his Bolt Thrower
    and the Locks going in the Eagle. My witches failed their frenzy test and
    decided to charge the Archers – fortunately the Archers missed everything in
    the S+S but my Witched failed the charge. Lucky Luke (the lonesome Rider) tried
    to charge the Bolt Thrower and failed too. Then I charged the Shades and the
    Locks into his Swordmasters having the advantage to strike before them. The
    Dark Riders rallied and were right in the way of my lower witches who had to
    reform then. In magic all was stopped without Throne of Vines. Having nothing
    to shoot we went straight into combat. Dragon and lower Locks did their thing
    but the shades and also the Locks failed miserably. Having five Swordmasters
    left he killed all 8 shades and made his break check.



    In his turn he charged again with his Helms this time he chose the Locks. Statistics
    said I had no chance to escape so I took the charge. The rest shuffled a little
    around. In magic I stopped his spells but I think I burnt my scroll for the Pendulum.
    In the shooting phase he killed: (Un-) Lucky Luke, some Witches and the two
    Riders. Then we went to combat and the Locks showed their skills. In the upper
    combat they killed unsurprisingly the Swordmasters and in the lower one they
    killed four Helms but lost three and the champ in return – they held on an 8.


    Turn 3:


    In my turn three I charged the upper Locks in his Sisters who fled. I redirected in
    the Archers who held. My Dragonlord went into his other Sisters who also fled
    but got caught. Now was the time to go forward with my Dragonsorceress – the witches
    also moved max forward to threaten the Phoenix Guard. In Magic I created some
    T7 Elves and healed my Witches up to full strength. No shooting but nice combat
    phase: Locks wiped out most of the Archers and pursued into the fleeing Sisters
    – well done guys. The other Locks lost some but managed to kill the last Silver
    Helm. They fled and were ignored by the two Leaders of the High Elves.



    His characters charged the Witches who had to hold and the Phoenix Guard turned around to
    magic the Dragons. I had to let the Pendulum through to stop Pit of Shades – my
    Dragon, the Lord and two witches all made their Initiative tests. Unfortunately
    the Bolt thrower wounded the Dragon again. In combat my Hag challenged and he
    killed her and four more witches – being steadfast they held but didn`t manage
    to reform.


    Turn 4:


    This turn was going to be a disaster... My Dragonlord and the witches both charge
    the Phoenix Guard – making way to find some space to get the Locks into his characterbus.
    Witches failed their 10 or 11 Inch charge and the Locks failed herewith too. In
    magic I healed the witches back to full strength removing a wound from the
    Dragon. The Witches held another round but my Dragonlord failed. The Lord
    killed the Mage outright, but the Dragon missed a lot of his attacks and rolled
    a “1” for thunderstomps. Here I forgot to use my breath weapon what could`ve
    made the difference. His Phoenix Guard made two wounds on the Dragon and I lost
    combat by musician!!! Then my Lord failed his test and fled behind the witches.
    Knowing that his turn would bring the Guard into combat with the witches and in
    a perfect overrun position I could only hope that ladies hold for one round.

    More reports will follow, and I think my opponent Elithmar wants to make one too. It will be very interesting to have a report written from two sides. Maybe we can make it turn by turn from the view of the players turn? What do you think?

    Also ich kann die Berichte von OnceBitten empfehlen, sind ca 1-1,5 Jahre alt - also noch mit teils alten Armeebüchern. Er hat soweit ich mich erinnere nen Minostern und nen Haufen Streitwägen gespielt. Nicht immer gewonnen aber hatte Spaß. Mittierim spielt aktuell, allerdings nicht so besonders gute Spiele (ich mag die narative reports nicht).

    If we're going to play scenarios I will go with that list:


    So there it is our big tournament. I will use my very special Dark Elves list that I've been working on for some time now and even Elo doesn't know. :D So we got one week from today on to post the list?

    Hey guys,


    first of all it is important to ask our kind board team if they agree that we will have some posts in english. I assume that this will be ok.


    I think that I can join the party when I'm back from Greece. This will be at the end of next week. I will visit the board once or twice a day.


    @Swordmaster: I will send a mail

    Hinzu kommt, dass GW zig Gussrahmen einfach wegwerfen würde. Würde sich das rechnen? Haben sie


    das früher einmal getan?


    Wäre kein Problem, die kann man so auslegen wie man möchte. Wenn GW schlau war, haben die nur welche für z.B. 50.000 Schuss bauen lassen.


    Edit:ich glaube wenn man das Plastik klein schreddert kann das beigemischt werden... also das Material geht nicht verloren ...


    Kann man machen, verschlechtert aber die Qualität. Normalerweise gibt es einen bestimmten Prozentsatz, der als "Regranulat" zugelassen wird (ist aber sehr gering). Normalerweise wird man das nicht machen.
