Warhammer!

[Sigmar]

6th edition, you have to move with the times. Using the dwarf army book. I prefer the new edition to the fifth, much more efficient, especially the magic phase.

I'm still playing the previous edition with my conniving rat-bastard (Skaven-player ) of a friend, but I have the new edition Army Book..
Its a lot weaker than I'm used to, but then everything's been lowered so I guess that helps. There is a lot more distinction between powerful fighters and uber-mages now.

[Sigmar]

Ok how about a little poll now, list your every army starting with the ones you like working down to the ones you dislike, here's mine

1-Dwarfs 10-Chaos warriors
2-Chaos dwarfs 11-Chaos Deamons
3-Dogs of war* 12-Tomb kings
4-Orcs and Goblins 13-Bretonnians
5-Skaven 14-Wood elves
6-High elves 15-DARK ELVES(I hate these)
7-Vampire counts
8-Empire
9-Beastmen
*I consider the Dogs of war army to be a seperate army.

Unfortunately it uses #rd edition rules and I don't like 3E, and I unfortuntely don't have the patience to paint several hundred troops, maybe mordenheim would be more for me... oh well, I'll think of something, and I really do want to get into it.

I used to love the Warhammer models. Stick them together, paint them, create armies.... brilliant. I had a whole Ultramarine legion once, it looked fantastic. But it takes a lot of time and money to really get into it.

Sigmar - I think my list goes something like this:

Most liked - Undead, Dogs of War, Lizardmen, Dwarfs,

Most Disliked - Bretonnians, Elves of any kind,

Actually I do have a quick question for Lifetime if he is still around. When I was playing the other day I had a skeleton unit armed with double handed weapons, heavy armour, and sheilds. When one or two got killed I casted Raise Dead to resurrect them. When the skeletons are added to the unit do they have the same weapons? I am getting a lot of free weaponry out of it if they do. But it creates all sorts of headaches if they aren't.

I like both WH and WHK40,000 and have collected armies for both, but due to lack of funds/lack of people to play with discontinued with my WH army.
For Warhammer I collected Wood Elves with my favourite units being the Wood Elf King and Eagle riders. Collected about 1000 points worth before concentrating on 40,000.
In 40,000 I collected Eldar with my focus being on a large aspect warrior army with an Avatar, A farseer, two warlocks, and some auxilery guardians. Most recent purchase being Morgan-Ra the Dark Reaper Pheonix Lord. Still collecting and painting these ATM.

Hello! So no-one here plays WQ, Necromunda or Blood Bowl?
They are truly great games, each on a par with Warhammer, just all different.

[Legolas]

The skellies are armed exactly as the original unit. That's why they cost so many points for regular rank and file troops

As for the list of least/most annoying armies, probably
High Elves
Skaven
Dark Elves
All Chaos
Lizardmen
Wood Elves
Empire
All Undead
Orcs and Goblins
Bretonnia
Dwarves
Dogs of War
Chaos Dwarves

But I could als make a list of most interesting armies, best looking armies, toughest oponnent, most fun to play etc. [img]smile.gif[/img]
They'd all be different
