Sand

Hey Noel. When are you available to play with me....

Nipponb

Can you play on Monday? I work till 4:30, but should be able to be there around 5pm. Otherwise, I am really not sure. What days do you have free?

Sand

I have to work this Monday. I will have Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, and the next Monday off.

Nipponb

Looks like we need to try for next Monday maybe. I am not sure what my schedule will be, but I will plan to play you around 5pm then. If it changes I will let you know.

Sand

Monday the 27th it is. How many points? 2000 is probably as high as I can go as long as you don't mind proxies.

Nipponb

2000 works for me.

drop?

me and ponce played and i massacred him. i used 250 gold.

btw nate i looked around and the GW folks on the UK site updated the rules to this slight change, oh and theres no clarification on the transmutation of lead thing either. oh also i found out in an FAQ a treeman can stand and shoot with his strangling root attack.

Durthu, Treeman Ancient

Durthu counts as a Lord and two Hero choices in a Wood Elves army. He must be used as presented here and may not be given any additional equipment, magic items, or Spites.

Durthu resembles a wizened and gnarled old oak tree. He is immensely old and has endured in the depths of the forest for untold ages. On rare occasions he is glimpsed among the shadowy glades or even found by wandering mages. If the Forest of Loren is invaded, Durthu will become disturbed by shouts and wanton destruction of the invaders. Enraged, he will lurch through the forest seeking out the intruders and attack them with savage fury that defies description.

SPECIAL RULES
Treeman Ancient: As an incredibly old and powerful Forest Spirit, Durthu has no need of weapons to crush his foes- though he is infested with an Unburden of Thieflings (see below). He follows the normal rules for Forest Spirits (ie; has a 5+ Ward Save that is negated by magical attacks, is Immune to Psychology and may not join non Forest Spirit units). Durthu also causes Terror.

Tough Hide: Durthu's 'skin' is gnarled and dense, even by the standards of Treemen - he has a scaly skin save of 3+, whenever Durthu is wounded, he treats the armour save modifier of the attack as one less then it would normally be ( ie; , a Strength 5 attack would only confer a -1 save modifier).

One Tree Short of a Forest: Durthu has seen incursion after incursion lay waste to his beloved groves. He is stubborn and may re-roll any missed rolls to hit in close combat. Unfortunately his eagerness to exact revenge upon particularly vile forest-despoilers often leads Durthu to fixate upon one particular enemy who he judges to be the one most responsible. After the start of the game, the opposing player may nominate one of his own units as a group of ruthless, tree-killing individuals who have been guilty of earning Durthu's ire. At the start of each Wood Elf Compulsory Moves Phase, Durthu must pass a Leadership test or move towards the chosen unit if it is visible, charging it if he can. If unable to charge the unit he may charge a different enemy, provided that it brings him closer to the chosen unit.

Strangle Roots: Durthu can plunge his roots into the ground, only to have them re-emerge from the soil many feet away, clutching and tearing at the foe. He may use this ability during the Shooting Phase. This attack may be used even if Durthu has marched. Pick one unit within 6"- the target does not have to be in Durthu’s line of sight though otherwise follows normal targeting rules. That unit takes an artillery dice worth of Strength 4 hits, Strength 5 if the target is at least partially within a wood. On a misfire, nothing happens.

Tree Singing: Durthu may cast Tree singing twice each Magic Phase. This is a bound spell with a Power Level of 3.

Unburden of Thieflings: Durthu is infested with spites possessed not only of seemingly inexhaustible energy but also a kleptomaniac streak a league or so wide. When these spites swarm over the target they use their razor sharp claws to filch anything that takes their fancy (peculiarly, these tend to be all manner of clasps, buckles and pins, although it has been known for several to work together in acquiring a particularly shiny helmet). These spites act as a missile weapon with a range of 12" that always hits on a 4+ and inflict D6 Strength 2 hits (this may target a different unit to his Strangle Roots attack). In close combat, these spites give an additional D6 Strength 2 attacks. Any enemy units that suffer wounds from these either of these is counted as being subject to the effects of the spell Transmutation of Lead for the rest of the game.

Treewhack: Durthu is an unstoppable force, able to smash things that would be proof against other weapons with a single, well chosen, strike. Rather than making his normal attacks, Durthu may choose to make a single Strength 10 attack that causes D6 wounds.

wrekka

Jason - I'd still like to play our game. I'm no longer feeling like bleh and can play any time. I'm free all week after 4:30 (i can be there AT 4:30), or this weekend.

Pick your poison.

Drop won via the big M

vegeta7913

If by big M you mean, "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM that's an illegal list according to MMMMMMMMMMY army builder." Then Yes, it was a big M.

Blood Bowl Wizard

Chris,
What were you doing posting on this forum at 2:49 AM? You should be resting up for our big game.

drop?

your just jealous i didn't massacre you, don't worry you'll have your chance....

wrekka

I actually posted that at like 6pm. I don't know what's going on. TWILIGHT ZONE!

vegeta7913

oh Droppie, you can dream your little dreams, but, i require all my opponents to have more than just bases to play me.

wrekka

drop?

well drew buy me some figures then and i wont have just bases.

wrekka

Drop you could just play smaller point valued games.

vegeta7913

Oh Droppie, I'm not gonna be your sugar bear, so stop asking.

Pete

Everyone should be interested in promoting more sales for CHG since they are kind enough to host most of our league matches on their gaming tables.

Promoting sales should include playing with actual Warhammer Fantasy models and not just bases.

If you lack the miniatures, play smaller scale games as you build up your army.

my 2 cents,
Peter

wrekka

This is it!

Tonight at 5:30ish... the final match.

Undead vs.... Un...dead?

Scratch that.

Tomb Kings vs. Vampire Counts.

One of the worst armies vs. One of the best armies.

Who shall prevail?! LET'S GO DEAD THINGS!

drop?

well then i shall only be playing 500 point games from here on out

Blood Bowl Wizard

Chris and I played to a draw. That will give me just enough points to claim overall victory.

Jason

vegeta7913

nice.

Pete

drop?

I was being facetious Pete. i really dont care if i have the modles as long as i have something to acuratly represent the model in question. if you dont like this then dont play me.

wrekka

vegeta7913

KNNOOOOXXXXX!!!!!!!!

Blood Bowl Wizard

This league has never required that we always own completely accurate or painted models. Doing so now only seems to be poor sportsmanship. However it is also against the spirit of sportsmanship to take advantage of the latitude this league has shown for proxied models. There is a large grey area here, and all I ask is that we all try to have fun with our games. Using a few proxied models here or there should be fine, but if you are using them, please use moderation.

Also, if you are using rules that are not from a printed rulebook or the Dogs of War .pdf (ie. White Dwarf, or GW online) you should get the consent from your opponent. Also make sure that you have a copy of the official rules for those units at the game.
