I think the extra dice might only be on the primary combat weapon though, not the primary shot weapon. Also if frenzied, I think their orders will have to change from hold to attack. However I've not got the book front of me at the moment so it could be a nice idea I think frenzy rules are under 2.3...

I love that verdigris effect!

KALI MAAAA!

First of 2019, the other 5 shadow drunes:

Grizzle

A mix of gigantic and not-gigantic makes sense to me with a Joined unit, but not with a Bound unit when the gap between could be quite large. In some instances you can even fit a whole other unit between the bound units and they're not affected by the gigantic unit in any way! I will conced the rid...

What were people’s final scores for 2018 then? I know paul is 103 Antoine 100 Myself 127 What did you get Grizzle? Let's see....I got: 118 it looks like. 10 ax drunes - 10 3 nobles 30mm - 3 5 brutes and 1 Noble brute - 24 1 Meat hulk - 10 6 abhorrents and 1 noble abhorrent - 24 1 bone aberrant - 10...

Nice Jon!

I've done the first 5 of my Shadow Drunes, which will likely be the last of my painted models for 2018:

Grizzle

It went well for me this year. Not sure about 2019.

See how much time I've got.

Grizzle

Cheers, thanks Rob.

Got another one. The Ysian invocation, curse of kernunnos has the following text: Marked unit: Marked warrior may be any one warrior within total focus range.Continuous Effect: The Marked warrior must take a TEMPER TEST (called a CURSE TEST). If the CURSE TEST is failed, any damage the Marked warrio...

Ah thanks Jon.

So in that scenario, 5 drunes would pretty much be guaranteed to get the goad off.

Grizzle

So I've got another question for this growing thread : This is something I meant to ask before, am I right in thinking that, per the rules on page 56, when I'm testing for my goad authority, and let's say im goading some brutes Au: 33 and my 5 drunes are 33, the roll would be modified by +33 and the...

You're more than welcome to Cornishlee.

Let me know if you want more details.

Grizzle

I can easily do more but I'm fine with 1500 as well. I've run a fairly infantry (30mm) heavy list a few times with my Albainn and Ysians and I found it was still fairly quick to play. Rules queries and odd situations that arise during the game do slow things down of course, but that will happen rega...

Grizzle

What times during the evening would be best?

I'm really up for this, but it might depend on the times and what is practical, including traveling to and from Mierce towers.

Got a new random question, more of a rules decision question, but on the Vras muster under the spell 'mould spores' is my maths correct that the spell could potentially put out 108 corruption tokens? This is considering it is 6 dice that can put out 2D10 per each one that goes off, with 9 being the...

I saw those posts on the Facebook group.

You lads do some amazing work, makes me want to save up and come over one year myself.

Grizzle

Mantichora done. Might be slightly too purple on that scorpion tale, but I can't be arsed to redo. :D I did redo the wings several times, making a bit of a mess in the process of stripping them, hence the speckled paint everywhere. Had to mentally slap myself, in the end, to stop obsessing and just ...

Grizzle

Well, after having used them a bit, I did want a few more Shadow Drunes....

Grizzle

Loving that verdigris effect and the glowing eyes, looks great!

Grizzle

I've got some more Nithing questions. It says on their profile that when they scavenge you add it to the chart to the left of the scavenge rules, that runs 1-50. Now do I have to keep track of the flesh for each individual Nithing? Or can I pool all their flesh and when I'm bringing it back to the ...

Hi Rob, I've been doing a bit of brushing up (painting and rules :P). I was watching the Anglecynn vs Ysian battle report you and Tim did on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_5VsAodPAU And I noticed something at around 50:10. Once the mantichora is finished killing off the Waelwulf unit, y...

Hey Rob, I thought I'd put this question here rather than create a new thread. So my new question is: On the Ysian muster where it describes the scavenge action for the Nithings, it states that they must be within 2" of a combat action to do so. I probably missed the memo on the muster updates...

Grizzle you've beaten my trolls before, bloody naked swordsmen sorcerer women grrr But yeah the trolls are difficult I'll admit that but turns out I've got the leiptrolls wrong (my bad) it's not game changing but may find something to swap them out with or change my tactics with them And I'm quite ...

To be fair, I've yet to best his trolls.

Grizzle

By the way, quick strike really helps out those two-weapon units.

Grizzle

Oh, by the way in the invocation "wrath of Kernunnos" it states that the unit affected can charge a unit of the invoker's choice. Does this override the normal restrictions on frenzied units needing to charge the nearest unit? As an example of a contextual exception. Anyhow, I'll give it a...

Grizzle

Basically to the end of working out better strategies and that we played our combats and results correctly. I think if we introduced more tactical fidelity into our games (such as retreating, or is it withdrawing? as a reaction) I would imagine frenzied units become less threatening if they are led ...

Grizzle

Would a counter-charge reaction count for this as part of a counter-engage? Yes, if it's a Counter-Charge . It's a Charge action . Cheers Rob Ok, cheers Rob, that is how we were playing it, but I wanted to confirm. Luckily I've only had the one situation against some Anglecynn where I kept breakthr...

Grizzle

Just to highjack this a little: In the example given, could the Troll Konung have performed a breakthrough reaction if he also becomes triumphant as well as victorious in order to engage another enemy unit if he were no longer engaged or beset? And to add to this, if he were frenzied, would he then...

Grizzle

Erm... okay... it seems you might have been playing Breakthrough wrong though - I don't really know, but by the questions Grizzle is asking, it may be why... Cheers Rob Yeah, that's partly why I was asking. Although, in Bright's examples in the game we played, he actually charged multiple units one...

Grizzle

Cheers, thanks for the answers rob. I think a lot of the issues are, beyond the known ones to do with index problems, when a person has an intuitive notion that they should either have more options or feel that a situation is more lethal than expected, but that's a human thing :P.

Look forward to seeing yours.

Grizzle

So to be sure that I am playing correctly, I may not be of course, a Unit can only perform a Breakthrough action if they have completely destroyed the unit they charged into, if at least 1 member of the unit remains the breakthrough action cannot be performed. Is this correct? Good question, becaus...

Grizzle

Oh, one more question: Exalt tokens and exalted tokens are two different things, correct? So you have exalt tokens as a category of token i.e. blood, frenzied, exalted, strong, swift...etc.. And then the exalted token itself is a representation of the heart state being exalted while also being an ex...

Grizzle

So I had a game recently against a fellow Darklands player and a number of different issues arose which I wondered if I could get some clarification on. I'm not sure if these have been asked before, but a search didn't give up much information. So firstly: My Augur Drune attemped to cast Mutate onto...

More Abhorrents:

Grizzle

First two Abhorrents done:

Grizzle

Its a fair point. The brute corruptors could be in the fleshdrunes command but would have to bind to a brute unit or a drune brute unit at which point their ubiquity doesn't matter. So - superfluous rule? Oh yes, I forgot about their bind to the brutes! Good point, although as you say, the compel s...

Grizzle

On the Ysian muster (and I'm not even sure this is a mistake) but why would the Flesh Drune have Influence (Brute Corruptor) when he only has an authority of 35? The Corruptors are 33 so he would never be able to muster them in his command as a mainstay (or singularly as a common) since he would nee...
