@OverlordFxR its a way of making up a unit without actually painting the minis that would normally constitute the unit by placing a base of equal size to the minis replaced within said unit. I confused myself there.
@OverlordFxR I think it means he's using one model as a stand in for another model (or several, in this case). That big demon-looking thin gin the middle of the Chaos Warrior pack isn't REALLY a big demon, it is just representing a couple Chaos Warriors. Doesn't have different stats or anything.
I don't really get why you use only "regular" hills and forests. In 8th edition they basically have no effect on the game, you might as well leave the table blank.
@TheMrLegenddave The spell says the unit makes attack aginst itself and that the caster gets to pick the weapon. I would say you would use an attack and not a special attack, but thats just my impression. Probably have to call the help desk and get 3 different answers to the same question that only has 2 possible answers.
He Shawn if you want to make the Casket look more mobile i've got a good conversion idea.. Put some treetrunks on the ground under the casket and make it look like the two guards are pulling it along with robes or chains.. This is how the old egyptians moved around big stones too build the pyramids..
Somehow I would like that batrap and morning show's will be in SD (standard definition) but studio updates in HD. it's my opinion :) Except Valhalla - need to be HD
I only have a question... did you know that the Skeleton Horsearcher has both the scout and Vanguard move?
Skeleton horsemen is not light cavalry but still get a Vanguard move.
I would have used my horse archers in two units of five to capitalize on this tactical flexibility...
Also, it seemed like you did not use the vanguard move correctly, no unit may end its vanguard movement closer than 12" from an enemy unit. I seemed as if you did not follow that rule or I may be mistaken.
The Casket of Souls can generate extra Power Dice if it moves, but it cannot use Light of Death if it move. Also remember that pivoting only happen in the shooting phase before you fire your war machine, so you can not pivot and cast Light of Death with it.
Also, Light of Death is awesome against knights, any knights. ;)
@bluetablepainting Read the description of the Light of Death at the casket of souls profile. It is written there, that Light of Death cannot be used if the Casket has moved.
On other side, Casket is a Lone Model, so it can pivot without penalties, however it is still not clear if we can pivot and then use Light of Death
@durman I just read the rules for War Machines and couldn't find anything to even prevent a cannon from moving and shooting. I know that can't be right. You are right: Light of Death can only shoot if the casket "has not moved this turn".
@bluetablepainting All Warmchines are assumed to be Move-or-fire. However, since Light of Death is a bound spell it hsould be able to move and cast it like a regular spell. :)
@TheodorEriksson Yes, but where does it say that all war machines are assumed to be move or fire? I could not find it. Not arguing the point, just saying I couldn't find it.
@bluetablepainting First I'm playing in a differnet language so the page number might be a bit off,but in my book it says in page 109 under "Firing (with) a warmachine" Unless otherwise specified,all warmachines follow the "Move -or-fire and ""slow firing"" (own translation,it's the rules that says you're not allowed to stand and fire as a charge reaction) rules ...."Hopefully that was clear enough,Keep up the good work!
@bluetablepainting On page 40 in the Tomb Kings book under the rules for the Light of Death spell it says it can only be cast if the Casket of Souls has not moved this turn. Also, on page 109 in the main rulebook under "Shooting with war machines" it says you can pivot to fire at you target. The spell is therefore cast in the phase before it has the ability to pivot, and it can't do that anyway because you can only pivot when shooting with a war machine.
so there are no actual models for Chaos foresaken? thats sad, i think there are a couple special characters in the Warriors of Chaos that also have yet to get a model.
I playd a game last night when i used my empire knights for 100 pt to theat his 6 rat ogers for 250pt by a flank charge if he is moving in to the middle!. So i just stayd in charge rage and out of his charge rage and totaly lockt his rat ogers for the hole game !! XD
Shawn, you are awesome :) Next time though when you have three times his power dice throw the casket of souls no armor saves and it can keep hitting units possibly :)
Okay, for real. I was searching for a music band. And i got to this? Lol, what is this?! It looks cool, but also a little to much life-taking...

The 3" template can hit a max of 21 models (20mm x20mm) - try it by using the modular movement tray base and the template.
It is only a max of 14 models with a 25mm x 25mm base.
