The new Warhammer rules = "awesome"

[draconis]

Received the new rules yesterday afternoon and was up till two thirty this morning reading them.

Had a 1000pt game against Scott's Dark Elves with my Gobbo's today.

I had a Shaman that could do no wrong with "the Foot of Gork" laying waste to Scott's units left right and center...

Well, there was one slight hiccup when three Goobo's that were standing next to him ended up being three pairs of boots with wisps of green smoke coming out of em', but he never liked them anyway (they looked at him funny) ;D ;D

The Gobbo archers spotted a glint of chainmail in a nearby wood, and pretty soon Scott's scouts looked like a cross between a porcupine and a pin cushion ;D

The Fanatics were a mixed bag... One thought it'd be warmer on the far side of the unit he'd just come from (ouch). while another wanted to see what was on the other side of Scott's Cold one riders, decimating them in the process ;D

The new charge rules are awesome... their widdle green legs were averaging eleven inch charges, then hitting with twenty four attacks ;D

All up, Scott died to a man

Has anyone else out there had a game with the new rules yet? If so, how did it go?

Well I had my first game with the new rules this afternoon, Actually it was my first game of fantasy for more than 16 years, but who's counting

Draconis was a great opponent to play against as he was willing to put up with my questioning every thing at least twice as I tried to get both neuron in my head going in the same direction.

Goblin Vs Orcs was a fun game to play as animosity was a big feature in the game. It was Fun / Strange the way 1 failed animosity roll effectively lynched Draconis plan and at the same time stopped me from falling into his little trap.

Oh, and by the way, it is official, even orc players hate Fanatics.

just realised my saurus really are shit: they lose their extra atack for supporting attacks, and with initiative one, anything better than a zombie gets rerolls to hit them

Well so far played 2 games and i've got mixed feelin's bout using the wood elves or beastmen again, on the other-hand watching a lv-2 empire wizard of vortex under his own feet and falling into the warp was, ah and he killed bout 9 swordsmen all in turn 1!

as for the beastmen, minotaurs are god-damn mother@*#!$*'s when they charge with
1 impact hit at str 5, base 3 attacks and just for sh&t's n giggles a str 4 stomp attack then they get frenzy for the rest of the game thats if they didn't lose combat.

and wood elves well lets see like i'm not gonna abuse the rules for fast cav and flying fast cav or even marching backwards 3"s and shooting with only the modifier for long range.

Ah! and yes my dwarves got a whole lot nastier with the new rules, now they should be fun test out.

Finally had my first game using these rules last wednesday. Really really liked it. Combats are pretty good now.
