Khaine Magic!

[The_Gonk]

Hello fellow warhammerers,

Has anyone tried out the new Khaine magic rules yet? I haven't tried them myself but am looking forward to giving them a go in the New Year.

What were your thoughts, was it good fun?

Has it changed your army build/selection at all?

I'm considering giving a few lower level wizards a go to branch out my spell lores, though I'm guessing a Level 4 is still necessary.....

It's not bad, definitely takes longer though. You're more likely to get a bunch of smaller spells through, but less likely to see super spells.

Not used it yet. In fact, haven't played a game in months, mostly because of work pressures.

But, I really like it. Lots of spells to choose from, opens up the usefulness of lower level casters as they get all the spells open to them, but the random dice available to actually chuck at a given spell should help curb things nicely, and prevent magic becoming the crux of the game.

It takes ages! Not just the physical mechanics of casting, but working out what is worthwhile casting. I found you end up just casting one or two spells over and over, rather than utilising all of them.

The group I play in uses it and from my experiences, it has been awesome. I've seen the exact opposite of wildeybeast, since being dispelled stops you from casting that spell again in that turn I see myself and others casting spells that they otherwise never would have looked at. It has made the phase take a bit longer but I think overall it has also made it more engaging and interactive which in my book is a huge positive.

I'm tempted to go lore of fire and lore of tzeentch then and spam out magic missiles......!

I'll say, casting Flesh to Stone 3-4 times a phase is HUGE.
