got to respect "My Orc Boss is charging those damn crossbowmen because its the orky thing to do!"
There wasn't a loud battle cry to go with it, so only 80% respect.
I really enjoy your narration and videos. Being a dwarf player is just the cherry on top. Keep up the great content and thank you.
Plenty more to come.
Blavk orcs charging your general should enter combat with iron drakes as well i think. Charging multiple units in rulebook
Yes I think this is true. However, if this happens, the charging unit must declare a charge against all contacted units, who may declare reactions normally, so the Irondrakes could stand and shoot against them... but then that might make the charging orcs small enough to NOT accidentally contact the Irondrakes.... so I have no idea how you resolve this!
EDIT: Shrinking Units on 158 probably covers this. The Irondrakes would remain in combat and shuffle just enough to keep them in contact with the Black Orcs
Very interesting.
So I think you might have played the Doomdiver slightly too accurate since you only get to remove the Balistic skill of the diver if you roll a hit on the artilery die and cant see the target. So the normal scatter reduction is "only" a d3. that said it is still a realy good unit.
That sounds much more reasonable.
The Rangers and Boar Boys scenario happened to me, except it was two units of Empire knights charging my forward-scouting Rangers. The Stand and Shoot obliterated one unit, and the Rangers held up and eventually killed the second unit. Rangers are the best pick in the roster IMO.
Definitely a strong unit. My main problems have come when the Rangers fail a leadership test and die because I deployed them close to the table edge.
T1. That's why i put mangler squig or something front of frenzied boarboys if i'm worried about t1 forced charges :)
Sounds like a good plan.
You need to just scratch build a bunch of gyrocopters and use some gw plastic dwarves for pilots. I guess if you have no modeling skills (no idea where you are on that skill) it would be tough. But with plastic card and basswood (never use balsa wood!) it wouldnt be terribly difficult to make some gyrocopters that resemble Versions one and two. Also with scratchbuilt and GW models converted for pilots it should be tournament legal at GW sanctioned events.
Currently waiting to see how much GW will charge for them in the big relaunch.
Thinking out loud again, but I think it would have been equally orcy and potentially more effective if the black orc unit charged the iron drakes and the chariot slammed into the king.
Especially if a character on a chariot can issue a challenge.
It may have been too long a charge. I don't think the chariot has Swiftstride.
Just a thought that came to mind when you were giving your list and sharing your thoughts. Regarding the trouble wheeling those units that guard the warmachines.
Why not use skirmishing units for that. If any army has the LD to not necessarily need rank bonuses…it’s dwarfs. Especially if you get some stubborn going, or nearby general.
Especially given that some of their skirmishes are pretty hard hitting
My concern is that only one unit of Rangers can be taken, otherwise they become a Rare choice.
Could you try using a dragon- or demonslayer as warmachine guardians?
I've tried, but they die very easily. I'm hopeful there will be something in the arcane journal to help.
Great stuff!
I dunno, I think 60pts for miners that might not show up for quite a long time is not the best investment. Could put those points to another unit of rangers which are guaranteed to impact the game (though compete for rare). Or a bolt thrower with Ro Skewering. Will be interested to see how they do if you do try them!
Also, think you need a king or thane for every hammerer unit. Was there a thane I missed perhaps?
The BSB is a Thane.
@@Andy2D6 - good stuff!
I could be wrong, but I think if the orcs can’t, then the dwarfs do…as you played it…but if the dwarfs also couldn’t…then it’s disordered
I’m wrong, if the target of the charge has to close…it’s a disordered charge
A rule question, during stand and shoot every single model must have LoS on charging unit? If test maybe sometimes 16 ranger can’t shoot during stand and shoot move, maybe they are too mutch?🤔
That's a good reason not to take a huge wide unit. Sometimes, not all of them get to shoot.
👍👍
After years of playing Warmachine I can't imagine how we could play WFB before that with no tokens to mark ongoing effects, like spells on units (like your opponent did).
Btw, the WM tournament scene even requires marking such effects - if there's no token clearly stating an effect (not a generic one that can mean a dozen things, but a clearly named one), this effect is not in play as a player should not require their opponents to remember every spell or aura they have in play.
Some armies have so few temporary effects, I can understand why there is less of a culture of clearly labelled tokens in Warhammer Fantasy. For AoS I use dry-wipe tokens with a marker.
