Brightblade

NIce Battlefield, love the Terrain.. Nicely painted Mini's too..

What does the String signify?

Brightblade

I travel close to Preston quite often, my dad is buried in Haydock, and my sister lives in St Helens, next time I go for a visit, i'll let you know and i'll bring my minis up and we can have a game..

Brightblade

Rob,

The new Sculpts for the Sávrar, look great, but will they be possible allies for the Atalantians as they genetically engineered them?

Brightblade

Both the Fomoraic and Norse have Weather changing Focus Invocations.

Question 1: Do these invocations change the weather across the entire Battlefield, or just within the Focus Range of the Invoker?

Question 2: Does a Die roll need to be made to create the Weather Change for the Invoke to work?

Brightblade

On the Fomoraic Spells of Ice list it has Ice Shards stated as a Focus spell, but then goes on to list a ranges for the spell, surely this should be a Sighted Spell rather than a Focus spell..

Brightblade

Thanks Jon.

Rob,

What's your take on this too?

Brightblade

Question about the troll gothi
It says he can only take invocations that deal lightning damage,

So can it take the invocation thunderous sky as that spell doesn't directly deal lightning damage but can do with an after effect ?

Brightblade

Rob, I would value your views on the best use of 30mm infantry units on the battlefield..

Brightblade · Re: Skirmish at Coffa Tree 24/06/2018 What's the number of entrants so far?

What's the number of entrants so far?

Brightblade

Yeah, that all kinda makes sense.. Thinking of it from my perspective, If I had 5 blokes coming towards me to attack me, they wouldn't stop in front of me and take turns to hit me so I can see the hits coming, they would surround me, so yes I could possibly fight off the three in front of me as I co...

Brightblade

I didn't think you could take a Rear Arc modifier if the Attacked Unit has seen you coming? Even with say 20 infantry charging towards a big beastie who can see them coming, to get all 20 into the battle you would have to place them in the rear arc of the beastie, but surely you couldnt claim a modi...

Brightblade

Nice..

Brightblade

Hi Arthur,

Welcome to the forum. We play in the Lichfield area of Staffordshire..

Brightblade

Appreciate all your comments. But doesn't this then make Darklands about whose got the biggest monsters on the table wins.. which again makes Infantry defunct, so why would anybody field them other than to fill a Mainstay spot in their Muster.. What is the purpose of 30mm infantry / 30mm Bowmen on t...

Brightblade

Was playing Darklands today, my new Atalantian army vs a Norse army, 1.5k Gold.. A unit of Burning Ones, 50mm Bases advancing on a 10 unit strong of 30mm Bowman.. Bowman, Volley Shooting for 2 game turns and then standard shots up close barely dented the 50mm Atalantians as each time they took the P...

Brightblade

The 14 Rhyfelwr warriors in Skirmish formation, makes one hell of a long front line, by my reckoning that front line would be 70" long, you couldn't play that on a 4 x 4 table.. ;-)

Also, what's to stop the enemy charging through the skirmisher gaps to the units behind?

Brightblade

It's that word 'May' I keep missing that in the rule book, selective reading..

Thinks I need to revisit all my musters as have been putting a Mainstay unit in for every General when I couldve been using that Gold for something more exciting..lol

Brightblade

I would have thought the General would have needed a Mainstay unit of his own..

Brightblade

So potentially on a 6x4 table you could have up to 10 pieces of terrain, that's one cluttered table..

Brightblade

I have a question on Positioning Terrain.. If playing on a 6x4 table, and based on a Positioning square being 2x2, would you roll to position Terrain in every 2x2 square, so in the 6x4 table you would have 6 pieces of Terrain, or do the Players decide the number of positioning squares available to t...

Brightblade

Im not sure that would fly in competition's though, as it's pretty much what you have on the table has to be what it is without exception, so if its a Guthwulf, it has to be a model of a Guthwulf..

Brightblade

I really like the look of some of the Bane Legions models, and I would like to use them in my Darklands gaming, but I don't know what kindred any of them would be aligned to, or if they even have muster sheets.. I assume I could use them like Sell Swords, but not sure.. Can someone offer some advice..

Brightblade

I would agree with Jonathon, thinking about it logically, I write Computer Coding as part of my job.. ;-), Logic is my thing... Logically, it wouldn't make sense for a flying creature to Dive and grab something that is essentially as big as itself, and then Soar back up into the sky to drop it, mome...

Brightblade

So I guess the Guthwulf's can now Howl, Emerge, and Ambush in one activation...

Brightblade

That's a really interesting point, and would certainly add value to the game if you could Move through in this manner..

Brightblade

Loving the new bigger icons, and faster loading pictures... now if we can just put the background back to Black....

Brightblade

NIce Terrain, and beautifully painted mini's must have taken you a while to build up that game board..

We've got a Saxon Village, complete with little Farm, and a Market Square that we use when I bring out my Anglecynn army..

Brightblade

Hi Guys,

I like the look of the new website, not sure about the colour scheme though, I preferred the Black Background, it was more brooding, and seemed more fitting to the nature of the game..

I like the intro back story on the Home screen though, it sets the scene for the game well..

Brightblade

Thanks for the advice Rob, I think I would need to put the Moraine Sorcerer under Brunchaath's command, and move the Cugacx and the Walvax to Mananaan's command as he has the most authority points.

Brightblade

Thanks for Clarifying this Rob.

So to Emerge and Ambush with Guthwulfs, you need to bide your time so that the right enemy is closest to your emerge point so the Feral Guthwulfs will attack this, or choose your emerge point wisely and quickly to avoid getting weary.

Brightblade

Hi Greame,
There are two of us playing in Lichfield, we have a 6x4 gaming table you and your wife would be welcome over one weekend for a game or two..
We have Norse, Byzamti, Fomoraic, Anglecynn and Atalantian armies, so if your short on minis we've got a fair few..lol

Brightblade

At 56:30 into this video the Guthwulfs come into play, and it appears that they do an Emerge action although nothing is rolled to achieve this, they then do a Howl, and then an Ambush, so it looks very much like this is a legal combination of actions within one activation.. Once destroying the force...

Brightblade

I'm pretty sure I saw it done in the way I've described in the YouTube skirmish video of Ysians vs Anglecynn with a pair of Guthwulfs that's why I was asking if it is a legal activation move or not

Brightblade

I will have to read up in the manual and on the muster..

Think I saw it done on one of the YouTube video gameplay with Rob, Ysian vs Anglecynn..

Brightblade

Question.. With a group of Guthwulths on scout orders, when they enter the battlefield from a forest can they perform an Emerge Action, a Howl, and an Ambush Action all in the same activation? Also, can they perform an Emerge Action, Howl, and Ambush Action from anywhere on the battlefield or is it ...

Brightblade

Do your mini's have to be painted to play? I'm also not completely up to speed on all the Gameplay, such as Positioning, Terrain Placing, and Orders, but most of the other Apprentice Rules and some of the Journeyman rules im ok at, would it be worthwhile me coming? Also, I can't seem to access the D...

Hammerwich, near to Lichfield

Hammerwich is where they found the huge Saxon Gold hoard back in 2009, so it's a fitting place to play a Dark Ages themed game..

Brightblade

We are still in the learning stage of the Game, and have just started using Orders and some Journeyman rules migrated up from Quick Play rules, we haven't started using Terrain or Host Positioning Rules yet, would these negate his ability to avoid forested areas?

Brightblade

What's your view on the Volley Shoot rule? Playing and decided that it's not worth just using a Shoot Action with Bowman units as the probability of getting hits is far higher with Volley Shoot Action as using 3 times as many dice even with a +1 to hit penalty modifier. Perhaps there should be more ...

Brightblade

I've found that when playing my Anglecynn army with Flankers and Scouts that my opponent brings his armies to the centre of the table and keeps well clear of any tree areas thus negating my advantage of making an Emerge and Ambush action.. Is my opponent playing fair by doing that? I say that he sho...
