Unless, of course, you interpret "standard piece of equipment" as something that's not an option to buy.<br /><br />Q: Can you take more than one Vermin Lord in an army? If you can,<br />will they both have a Doom Glaive magic weapon? (p40)<br />A: Yes to both questions. Whilst you can only opt to take each<br />magic item once, where it is a standard piece of equipment it<br />can be duplicatedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348569423367139831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350909421320911401.post-62656694306865516272014-05-06T21:09:03.161+12:002014-05-06T21:09:03.161+12:00I am glad you enjoyed the post.

In my upcoming game with my Wood Elves i am taking the same arrow mainly because there isn't a clear section in the book saying that you cant. And i do believe that you pay by the model rather than the unitRunicmadhamsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998940858801320118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350909421320911401.post-42660702566740801982014-05-06T20:45:44.126+12:002014-05-06T20:45:44.126+12:00Nice review I must say, but just 2 quick things I ...Nice review I must say, but just 2 quick things I was wondering; first one is, since the arrows are Arcane Items, the rulebook states you can only have one and cannot repeat that item, wouldn't that mean, we can only hace one arrow type in one unit and cannot choose the same one again for another unit? And the last thing, I'm not sure if it's a printong mistake but in the spanish wood elves book it says the magic arrow are paid per unit and not miniature.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12624486350126786359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350909421320911401.post-44736632521781356182014-05-05T15:59:49.126+12:002014-05-05T15:59:49.126+12:00This comment has been removed by the author.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699378740462531632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350909421320911401.post-91136282011989015352014-05-04T20:09:49.064+12:002014-05-04T20:09:49.064+12:00Ah i see it, cheers and thanks for the correctionAh i see it, cheers and thanks for the correctionRunicmadhamsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998940858801320118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350909421320911401.post-43711795788153097252014-05-04T19:58:25.932+12:002014-05-04T19:58:25.932+12:00A correction: The Armor Piercing on five of the si...A correction: The Armor Piercing on five of the six arrow types is not redundant, nor is it incorrect. The profiles given on the bottom of p.37 REPLACE the basic Asrai longbow profile, not augment it. Arcane Bodkins do NOT have Armor Piercing; their total save penalty is -3, not -4.<br /><br />See the paragraph under "Enchanted Arrows" on p. 37, third sentence.Straylighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12256093063139081832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350909421320911401.post-90224993016058260602014-05-03T07:16:24.687+12:002014-05-03T07:16:24.687+12:00What has happened to the forest spirits pains me. ...What has happened to the forest spirits pains me. They have lost combat effectiveness as well as durability. Mean while on the elf side of he aisle they only got better. My 8th ed list, for instance has 40 glade guard (in units of ten) with ether the starfire or moonfire arrow, 2X10 scouts with arcane bodkins, 2X6 waywatchers and 30 wildwood rangers. The idea is that the bow fire while seriously weaken then oncoming enemy and then the rangers will charge in and deliver the killing blow. Now i picked the rangers over Treekin/Treemen/Dryads because they are cheaper, have a greater strength value then both Dryads and Treekin and are on par with Treemen, They has ASF, They get +1 attack is fighting models that cause fear/terror and they get the forest stalker rule.<br /><br />If in a llist i had some points spare then i may well take some trees, but right now they will always loose out to the elves.
