Is it generally better to build tall or wide in Warhammer. As in is it more preferable to kit out your army with lots of magic items and unit upgrades and champions, or is it better to use those point for extra units? What ratio of upgrades to points do you usually do? If tall is better how tall is too tall, if wide is better how wide is too wide?
Looking for feedback on my first wood elves list made for my wife
General:
Spellsinger on unicorn
Core:
10 Glade Guard w/ fire and flee and vanguard
10 Dryads, one is a Nymph w/ Lamentations of Despair
Special:
5 wardancers, one is a blade singer w/ sword of might, 4x additional hand weapons
I'm guessing the general might not be very optimal but she really wants a unicorn in her army at any cost and it's meant for casual games.
Just made my first army list for 500 points, I think I followed all the rules.
General:
Paladin, on Bretonnian Warhorse, Questing Vow
Core:
10 Men-at-Arms
20 Peasent Bowman
6 Mounted Knight of the Realm, Muscian, and Standard Bearer
Special:
4 Questing Knights, Standard Bearer
This isn't meant to be competive, I'm sure Questing Knights aren't super optimal I just like them.
I recently got into Warhemmer and just made my first army list for Bretonnia. My wife wants to play also on the condition I make her army list. I know nothing about these guys so I'm struggling putting togther a list.
We're starting at 500 points and so far all I have is that I am using the Host of Talsyn and that the general is a Spellsinger riding a unicorn (a non-negotiable as once my wife figured this out there was no room to hear anything else out, the unicorn is everything to her) and sisters of the thorn. She also really like the creatures like dryads above standard elf units.
Any ideas for a list or a rough spread on what types of units I should bring? It needs to be prepared for lots of calvary since it's going to be face to face with Bretonnia a lot and I like my questing knights.
Any help is very appreciated, like I said I barely know the game and know nothing of the elves, other than the archers are really good.
Just got into WarhammerOW and immediately loved the idea of playing Bretonnia. I'm going through videos on how to build them and peoples lists as I make this post.
Firstly I want to give thanks to everyone who helps me build and understand this army a little bit more, I look forward a lot to hearing what you love about Bretonnia and your favorite units and characters in your army.
How do you usually build Bretonnia, what are your favorite combos/synergies, underrated units, must picks, etc.
I'm building up to a 2000pt army on a pretty tight budget so I'm starting at 500 points and going from there, buying a box or two each month until I'm there. I don't really want to buy anything that I'm just going to throw out in future lists.
I'm not really building anything super competitive, but I do enjoy optimizing flavor as much as possible.
Here's a few of my preferences if anyone has some input on these
I know Pegasus knights are competitively pretty good but I honestly just don't find them very cool. They just don't fit as much into the fantasy of commanding Bretonnia to me and I'd rather build around classic fantasy elite calvary units like grail knights and a hippogryph for the fantasy beast element.
Something about the mounted yeoman are really cool to me. Just something about em.
I don't want to forget about my infantry, a lot of lists that I see don't really show them any love to the men at arms and they're pretty criticized by the community. But in my eyes these are the most courages men in Bretonnia and I will no have them used as pawns. I'll probably include some unit that bolsters my men at arms and makes them just a bit more special than a tar pit.
I absolutely love the damsels, my head canon is that Bretonnia is a matriarchal society and I want the girlies to be important. (From the lists I've seen this doesn't seem to be hard).
Thanks everyone again, very excited to start my first army.
I recently started getting into warhammer 40K and while I was in my LGS I noticed the Old World minis. They had a display case filled with painted minis and I just loved the way they looked. I've heard of Sigmar but it wasn't the right flavor of fantasy for me, but Old World was perfect. So I started looking online to research this game, but there's not a whole lot to look at, the lore videos were like 10 years old, I watched battle reports but the rules are so hard to learn through osmosis.
I'm definitely going to buy some minis just to paint and maybe set up some battle scenes. But this is more of a question on if I want to spend money on the books, and starter armies for me and a friend.
So I guess sell me on this game, what do you live about Old World, what do you not like about it? Also maybe I'm just misinformed but the game seems kind of dated, are they still updating the game and producing minis?
I was thinking of building genestealer cult army, I think their lore is awesome, I love the vibe of people corrupted by these eldritch aliens. I haven't bought the codex I was trying to find out as much about unit options for online as I could, but I found one problem. There's no big monsters??? I was hoping to find some scary big monsters but abominates seem to be the biggest ones and they seem to only be space marine sized.
I run with a pretty casual play group so they're fine with me bringing Tyranids to my army to replace the role of most of the vehicles (probably wouldn't bring tiny guys like hormagaunts). I want to make sure this wouldn't create anything unfair or be way underpowered. I don't have either of their codex's yet so I don't really know the army rules or detachment rules. What is the best way to add big Tyranids to a genestealer army in a way that actually feels like they're working together.
My partner and I are just getting into 40k. She wants to do Chaos Daemons and for the Nurgle daemons she wants to do more purples rather than greens. We're new to model painting so innovating a new color scheme has been hard. We've looked online but have only found really bright, almost neon, purple Nurgle models, not the more dull sickly bruised and necrosis color scheme we're looking for.
Does anyone have recommendations for colors we can use (specific names would help, its hard to tell what the paint will look like based off pictures and I'm color blind) or pictures of their own bruised minis.
Would using the slaanesh color pallet work?
I'm getting into 40k and just got my Admech codex and I'm putting together a wishlist for my first army, but how do I find a comprehensive list of balance changes? I'm looking online and can find a post here and there but nothing that's just "here's everything different from the codex."
I just want to make a print out to tuck in my book because I don't like scrolling through a laptop for a tabletop and the vibes are just better imo when it's on paper.
