So....Coolness

[Bwian]

So far, we got the beards and beer angle well covered! Still got a few more units to add to their build list, and I need to have a go at the siege weapons too.

Would my old WHTW/RTW mortar and cannon models be of any use?

[Bwian]

Not sure.... thanks for the offer. It really depends on how much they have changed the specs on these things. If I can convert them, I will let you know

I love the fact how hordes of little guys charge, and then followed by massive monsters, no balanced army taking victory.

What you mean no balanced army wins? I never played warhammer tabletop so I wouldnt know, I just hear that heroes can take out entire regiments and what not with the right equipment, just like the bleeping blood dragons, which take away the whole point of armies.

But still, what do you mean? So you send in the cannon fodder first then follow up with monsterS? Isnt that a waste of potential attack power/meat to hold the enemy while you flank with shock units or your heroes?

In 5th edition Warhammer, heroes were the central point of most warhammer battles and were easily able to take on entire regiments alone.

We are now in 7th edition, which is focused on combined forces - Sure, a dragon is powerful, but is it worth the potential 4-5 core units you could take instead of it? Heroes are also much easier to kill, and sending one against a regiment alone is suicide, unless it's one of those super-expensive faux-pas-to-take-in-a-normal-battle "Unique Heroes" that the army books feature - Archaon, Zacharias the Everliving, etc...

Ahhh so only the uber ones like tyrion can bone entire armies then...I see...

Well I always thought that warhammer had its own different style with each army.

I see Brettonia uses the norm in medieval tactics which was a heavy cavalry charge followed by a peasant rush (WOOO). Then the cavalry wheels around and hits the flank again...unless its dead that is.

I dont know much about the empire... How do they stack up in tactics? I know they are very mechanical when it comes compared to brettonia

A black orc warboss with some good wargear to the max can take down a 20 man Empire swordsmen regiment, as long as it attacks first... otherwise, he is screwed, its better just stick him some other black orcs and wade a path of destruction, or stop moving INFRONT of a regiment of 20 dwarven thunderers, and BAM 15 black orcs gone, they run away, and get shot again, and all die...

That is a valid tactic, tire and weaken the enermy then send in the big guys. btw im mostly refering to skaven has they vary so much in size and strengh. Of coarse if your boring you could go bretonia with a tactic thats alredy been used.
