What was the last thing you learned in fantasy?

daemons are actually quite squishy when rolling averagely for thier ward saves.

skink priest on palaquin is fucking annoying.

skinks are the most annoying unit in the game

its funny when your opponent has 9 dispell dice and you only have 6 power dice but you still get spell through

rolling 1's for 1+ armour saves make me want to de-atomise things

mark of nurgle is awesome

Its always a good idea to remember what scenario you are playing from the start to give you more time to achieve said scenario.

Orc shamens like blowing themselves up.

Spear chukkas still fail to hit large targets yet snipe a wizard on a flying saucer on the other side of the board with ease.

Dwarf warmachines rock!!

steam tanks aren't immortal (silly herald of khorne with S7)

mortars are a good option against demons.

dwarf gun lines don't like cavelry armies

1+ armour saves might as well be 6+ when i'm rolling

Skinks can kill anything i just like them more than saurus anyone else or is it just me

stegadons dont like cannon balls
skermishers are a pain.

thats an understatement

if your letting your stegadon get hit by a cannon then it deseves to die also skirmishers are usually good makes up for there lack of combat res

Well let's see:

A Treeman Ancient can beat 4 charging Dragon Ogres.

You can kill a Varghulf with the Hail of Doom Arrow.

6 charging Wild Riders can beat 5 Flesh Hounds in two rounds of combat.

A Doomwheel can zap 3 Treekin to death in one round of shooting.

A Wood Elf BSB can shoot himself.

this one needs some explaining. how did he manage that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

In order to take the Hail of Doom Arrow, a BSB needs a magical bow. Asyendi's Bane allows you to reroll failed hits (though not for the HoDA!) but at a price. If the reroll also misses you take a S3 hit.

My BSB took aim at a lone Tzeentch Herald and rolled a 1 to hit. The reroll came up 1 too. The S3 hit wounded and I failed my 6+ armour save, killing the BSB. Essentially, he shot himself dead.

the bow must of been made in taiwan from polystyrene, not good quality oak like the old days, see these pesky elves trying get cheaper stuff whats the world coming too.

It's no good making your unit unbreakable if everyone's killed in combat.

Chaos sorcerers have the special rule "Immune to Wood Elves."

Dragon Ogres are pussies.

Games involving Kholek are always bloodthirsty and fun affairs with bugger all left on the table afterwards. He's like an aid to the natural selection process. You survive him you'll evolve.

I really do believe chaos sorcerors are indeed wood elf (combat) proof. Not too hot facing down a billion arrows however.

ah choas sorcerers bah i shit them leadership 10 level 4 wiz on a mount needing a 6 to wound and pow one dead chaos wiz good old miscast chart tee hee

Rich's Doomwheel should be wrapped in andrex and left in the cubicle

All the Skaven lists I saw at the GT final were running double Doomwheels. Nasty stuff.

One day you will find a goblin wearing a pointy helmet wedged so far up your arse that you will need a dwarf tunneling team to get it out. Then you will be sorry for your insolence.

not going to happen young mikey esp if ben is firing
3 games 3 misfires by turn 2 boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

What you fail to realize is that by misfiring I am also protecting your Skaven troops from an angry drugged up goblin hurtling towards them. While I can point it in the right direction, once it's released the goblin has a mind of its own and probably wouldn't care whether it hit its own team or not.
It's all part of the tactics.
