Ironically, this would likely be most powerful against other Eldar, with their fairly short ranged weapons. You could really mess up a Dire Avenger player's day.
That is, in some ways, what the Hemlock is already. The "pilot" is as much a Spirit Seer keeping an eye on the spirits within the fighter as he is a pilot.
It's also suggested that a number of...
Me too. I've nicknamed my Space Wolves force "It's Not Lupus" as I try to get around all the little silly wolfy bits. Frustrating, as Thunderwolves are everything Terminators should be and aren't,...
Posting this in a couple places because I'm curious.
Basically, the question is what the subject line says: What makes a good 3-5 game narrative campaign for you? The kind you might play over a...
One of the other factors is likely just the attitude of the people playing Horus Heresy. Between the cost, the difficulty of doing so, and the lack of an active tournament scene, there's much less...
I wrote a post about exactly this, 'The CAD Will Not Save You': http://variancehammer.com/2015/06/02/the-cad-will-not-save-you/

As much as I've always found a lot of the focus on Slaanesh to be puerile and stupid, and vastly ignoring huge swaths of potentially interesting narrative in favor of "hurr breasts...", this would...
Just put up a review of the Imperial Knights codex, with some simulation results looking at just how good the new weapon options are.

Heck, I'd even be alright with them getting the Forge World treatment. If I must pay $90 for a troops choice, it should be a damned fine troops choice.
All kinds of photoshopped.
Hey folks. I just finished with a pretty large nine-part review of the new Eldar codex. Why should you read another one of these? In part, because I tried to include some simulation results looking...
