Andy's Hard WFB comp

[The Trampoline]

I've been working on a set of comp rules for Fantasy at 2400points.

Its laid out in a thread at the spiky forum.

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers, Andy

Nah thats gone buddy,

Dark Elf Army Book Changes

Ignore the Druchii Sorcery Rule

[The Trampoline]

Yeah no serious comp would miss that.

I was thinking maybe amend the Druchii Sorcery rule to be the Lore Attribute of Dark Magic. No-one really minds 10 dice being thrown at anything from that Lore really :)

, you wouldn't say that if a Black Horror was cast on your units.

Maybe, but the lore attribute is supposed to be something that you gin after successfully casting a spell, not before so not sure how you could make it work. Easier just to bring it into line with everyone else.

Lore Attribute is entirely variable, sometimes it's additional effects, other times it affects casting values. Being able to use as many power dice as you like with a Lore would fit in very well as a Lore Attribute. I don't think many people would actually throw 7+ dice at Black Horror in practice, and even if they did I don't think it would be that bad- it's a template that wounds half a unit at best. Word of Pain is actually much scarier IMO, but even then it's not gamebreaking. If GW had our desire for army book lores to match 8th edition with a small errata, they'd most likely done what you've suggested here, with High Magic getting the Lore Attribute of +1 to dispel, Dark Magic getting Druchii Sorcery and Vampire Counts being allowed to re-cast spells. In practice, no real difference

Anyway the suggestion is only because people love to moan about rules being removed, and this would be a mere compromise. It would be so minor as to be basically irrelevant

Slightly confused by the Rune of Preservation thing for Dwarfs. Is immunity to poison and killing blow really that game breaking? Generally however the Dwarf comp looks quite decent, although I am sure someone would complain that a Dwarf player can generate 3 DD and still have 2 destroy spell runes.

I don't get the change to the death magic lore attribute? Why is that necessary when you already have the cap on dice used per phase?

TBH it actually makes death more broken, rather than less. Soulblight spam ftw!

Not on its own but in runic combos yes. Its to try and stop points denial un-killiable dwarf lords, immunity to killing blow and having re-rolls, only wounding on a 3/4 etc.

A change to the attribute was suggested as due to the 12 dice cap you don't really get to make use of the actual attribute. I thought this was something more fitting, and might help people not auto take shadow all the time.
