what?! i really love death rockets! i have no luck with BTs and prefer BCs to the earthshaker, but death rockets really worth their points imho.
Death Rocket is cooler; but other special choices are better options; 2 BTs are definitly superior in most cases and are at 20pts less.
2 for 1 slot BTs at 60 points a pop is obscenely good.
In fact, it is probably one of the main reasons why people accuse CDs of being overpowered (that and LD 10 heroes).
In a target rich environment (such as against horde armies or a large game) death rockets have their uses, but in tournaments or in a take-on-all-comers list BTs ftw.
Death rockets have the same accuracy problems as earthshakers, but withuout the movement modifier that makes the earthshaker so useful. I think if you've got the room and don't want to field any greenskins other than warmachines for your special choices (if you are going for a shooty army or else have enough H2H units already) then a deathrocket is a useful choice. The convoluted point I'm making is that the three war machines fielded together are very potent, as is any one in concentration (4 stonethrowers in 1,500pts against a horde, one of which slows movement is awesome). I'd go for the balance.
um no... O&G spear chukkas are still 2 for 1 special...
and ours is almost identical (although it has one less crew)...
but i dont have much hope for hobgoblins surviving for a new incatation of the book...
in fact i dont have much hope for a new incantation of the book...
I think hobbos are more likely to survive than the other greenskins slaves. I still think the most likely support we'll get is a Kislev style booklet, and a couple of regiments of reknown releases.
As far as I know, the High Elf Bolt Throwers are now one for each rare choice. This is purely because their multiple shot rule allows for alot more killing than a cheap Hobgoblin version.
Adam Troke is at the helm of the High Elf book. I wouldn't hold your breath.
Thats a shame, I haven't seen many of the new high elves, though I hope there will be new swordmasters. The current ones just don't feel right. White lions could do with an update as well. To get back on topic - high + dark elf bolt throwers are a 100pt war machine, the same as an Empire Great Cannon. You would not really expect either to be 2 for 1. Maybe the high elf bolt thrower will make a move to special, with the white lions, lion chariot or swordmasters getting beefed up and moved to rare
An additional Special Choice for each 1000pts. Now I'd like to see their reasoning for this. As for the Cavlary armies, I reckon moving Silver Helms to Special was a silly mistake. They're completely outranked by the Dragon Princes and compared to other heavy horsemen in Special slots from other armies, they're weak.
I have never taken a look at them. They can't be that bad.
Talking about Elves on a Chaos Dwarf forum?
Hang your heads in shame....
Having played high elves myself, they are one of my favorite armies. I've used them in 4 versions of the game now and I think the current list is the worst going. I'm looking forward to seeing the new book though. One of the advantages of having lots of armies is there are regularly new rules to try without buying new forces
Surely since Wilmark is in your hat arranging a game should be no hastle at all...
Isn't the last part of that spell a bit of a let down then?
Gah, Denmark. I'm stuck in the UK jealous that you make half decent larger and have a more sensilble monarchy... Maybe you should declare yourself High Priest of Hashut. In the UK if your house is a place of worship you can get out of certain types of taxes
And whatever the Death Rocket can do, the Earthshaker can do aswell. With added quake.

Come on own up who registered there religion as a Jedi Knight last uk census ,I did
For those who don't know, there is a loophole in UK law whereby if enough people register themselves on the census - held every 10 years - as members of a certain religion, the Government is forced to recognise it. This entitles you to take paid religious holidays off work, which are protected under anti-discrimination laws, along with several other perks. Thus there was an attempt by some to have Jedi Knights recognised as a religious group back at the last census. The catch is if the attempt doesn't come off and you are asked to provide evidence that you are indeed a member of a sect called the Jedi Knights and can't, you face a pretty huge fine.
That's not 100% true, but I can't be bothered to point out the inaccuracies
Go on Cornixt, you've created astate of suspense now
