Age of Sigmar Featured Aethervoid Pendulum or Quicksilver Swords? Another statistical note. Which is better… the Aethervoid Pendulum or the Quicksilver Swords? Both are endless spells that cause damage after moving. Both cast on a 6, move 8" and can fly. The pendulum has a range of 8", but can only move in a straight line; the
AOS3 Featured Bodyguard rules and transferring wounds So here's a problem. Lord Kroak is standing next to some Saurus Guard. The guard have a rule: Selfless Protectors: Before you allocate a wound or mortal wound to a friendly Seraphon Hero that is not a Monster, or instead of making a ward roll for a wound
Age of Sigmar Aggradon Lancers - Spears v Clubs I have some Aggradon Lancers on the way, and rather like the Saurus Warriors, the question arrises should they be built with Spears or Clubs? The maths here is slightly different. The significant differences between Warrior spears and clubs are that the spears hit on 4+ with 2" range,
Age of Sigmar Saurus Warriors - Spears v Clubs With the new 2023 GHB, Galletian Veterans are a thing of the past - so now 1" models on bases larger than 25mm find it much more difficult to fight in two ranks, and the old question from a year ago re-arrises - for those units with an option
Black Coach The Black Coach Rides Again... ? Having arranged a fluffy game at the Hampshire Hammerers, I though I'd head back towards one of my early 3rd Edition Nighthaunt lists, with a Black Coach. Having been given the first turn against a Living Cities army, I held back, cautiously advancing onto the bottom right objective,
Age of Sigmar Featured Celestial Dracolines: Evocators and Lord-Arcanums (or Lord-Arcana? or Lords-Arcanum??) Dracolines have some cool looking models, but they don't seem to be used much competitively. Indeed, I'm the only person I've seen playing them at a tournament. Why? As the warscroll says: Dracolines are fearsome beasts of Azyr whose roars can unman even the
Warhammer Tournament The Black Coach at War... The Black Coach looks great... but doesn't play too well. I took the new Nighthaunt battletome to the first lvl up gaming one day event in Ringwood. My list was: Procession: Scarlet Doom Grand Strategy: Hold the Line Triumphs: Bloodthirsty * Lady Olynder * Lore of the Underworlds: Spectral Tether
Black Coach Building the Black Coach: Curtains The curtains on the coach need, for me, to evoke the feel of old velvet. I started with Khorne Red, then washed with Nuln Oil, and applied the Khorne Red again, leaving the Nuln Oil coat visible in the depths. Next, a layer of Mephiston Red brought up the colour,
Black Coach Building the Black Coach: Lanterns I wanted some sort of glowing effect on the coach lanterns, to fit into the greenish tint of the rest of my Nighthaunt. I started with Leadbelcher all over - to make sure I had all the metal bits. The lantern windows then got celestra grey. I then finished off
Age of Sigmar Painting the Black Coach: The Coffin I've gone for the closed casket coffin. The open version with the vampire doesn't look right to me. A couple of layers of Dawnstone gets me this... Then wash with Agrax Earthshade, drybrush with Dawnstone, the Ulthuan Grey; and edge highlight with Celestra Gray. Finally, run
Age of Sigmar Building Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows I have a unit of 3 Longstrikes, but it seems that 6 may be more efficient, even though they account for more than 20% of an army in a 2,000 point game. So I've got my hands on 3 more. Building them is slightly awkward using the
Age of Sigmar Building the Black Coach: Priming Here are the parts after priming. The little blobs of white tack are now pretty concealed, but in person it's simple enough to find them so they can be pulled off. I'm leaving them there for now so I don't have to be too
Age of Sigmar Building the Black Coach: Sub-assembly The black coach is an impressive centrepiece for a Nighthaunt army - which hopefully will get even more impressive in the new Battletome which should be heading our way in the next few months. It looks. however, really fiddly to paint if it's all stuck together. I couldn&
