Warhammer Fantasy Armies.

Hi folks, I'm going to be starting Warhammer Fantasy.

I would just like to know, would anyone else be interested in starting it with me? I will start it regardless if others do, becuase I know people who I can play against.

Cheers,
Toast

I have a tomb kings army, i can play against you. What sort of army were you getting/

I was thinknig High Elves, will probably get some during half term. Just a basic 2 core units and 1 general.

Fair does, high elves are very good standard people, they also have some of the coolest dragons in the game. They have some of the best spearmen too

I know, I just like the fact they go first in every assault

i love tomb kings, simply because they can have so many normal skeletons(everyone loves skeletons) running abotu causing fear in everyoen they shoot or charge at ^^

Until i kill there general and theyre reduced to LD 3

Also, have you got any tips or advice you could give me please?

Do not use large brushes on high elves. They are thick models and you will lose a lot of detail,m DEFINATELY undercoat them and when you paint the chainmail, brush downwards, to keep the shade, so you can see eahc individual piece. If you get spearmen, make sure you paint them before you stick the shield on them, also if you want tactics. I would suggest have a small line of spearmen holding your army togethe,r with archers and artillery behind, then a very high-powered special unit to flank the enemy. When eh charges the enemy will need more than one core unit to kill it, so he will ahve to sned in more unit,s then charge your spearmen to catch him offguard.

tip stolen for my new eldar army il show u on tuesday

I have a orcs and goblins army that has loads of old figures

I was thinking of getting Wood elves or ogre kindoms for a fantasy army

Banana, who are you?

Could you please post on the Report! forum, thanks

i might be getting another couple skeletons to bulk up my tomb kings army, i'll give someone a game one day?

I'll be up for that Will.

I would play fantasy on friday but you need more than an hour and a half to play a game, plus you need scenary

Lewis- they were my first two armies on the list for starting fantasy but the truth is, they both suck.

Actually, it depends how you play them. Sure Ogres suck and shuld only be played for fun, but wood elves can be a very competitive army in the hands of a veteran player.

Lewis; veteran? he hasn't played a game of warhammer fantasy with a propper 2000 point game in his life.

When, I said veteran, I didn't mean Lewis. But you said neither armies are any good, so I was talking in general.

I mean't that they were bad in lewis' situation.

Ok. Most armies are though, I would just recommend what ever army you like.

for Lewis, i would suggest Empire, as they are very easy, good and simple, with plenty of units. They're basically the imperial guard, good all round.If you really wanted wood elves, i sguuest not going into all their special units any time soon. Stay with core units, like their archers, and you'll be fine, you just have to use their advantages well.
btw, in continuation to my tomb kings army, i was going to buy some more skeleton warriors, change of plan now, as they have risen the price, for 16 warriors(they're small skeletons) it's like £18. So i'm double thinking about it. Ellis and Zack, would you guys want a three-way 750 point battle first friday back?

Possibly, Depends if I can get that many points in the half term.

we can do 500 then

I shuld be able to get that..... I'm off to GW for some Ogres then
