Been thinking about how I would fix Hexeris. He still suffers from the classical skorne issue of being too focused vs. Hordes but he also really doesn't do anything to really buff or interact with his list. First he is an ex-Cataphract so he needs MAT7. Stryker got this, so should he. His feat needs to effect Cryx. "When a living enemy model or enemy warrior model...". As a whole the feat would still be sub-par but it...

I just picked up a bunch of Therians from FFG's holiday sale, so I'm going to need to know how to approach it. For reference purposes, here's what I have en route: Tiamat Nina Zero Sigma Urash Storm Golems + attachment Assault Golems + attachment Assault Goliaths Baal Golgoth Wraith Golgoth From what I've read, I'll be wanting Bane Goliaths and a Hekat. What else would I want/need? Is this enough for a complete army,...

Heh. OGRE is neat. HOW TO DESTROY AN OGRE Hit it directly with a groundbursting strategic nuclear missile. Not one of those piddly little Hiroshima jobs, either, I mean a big one. Hope that nobody you care about was in the same country. Or any of the adjacent countries, come to think. Also note that this is impossible, because any missile that shows its face to the heavens will get perforated by a dozen air defense lasers from the edge of the...

It looks like your Egyptian booster stuff is extra units, and the roman stuff was all upgrades. This is good, as it give the Egyptians more units, since they tend to be cheaper then the Romans. We did a 4...

This is a mistake they already made with 40K. Its sad to see it being repeated in Warhammer

BGG's staff so far has been studiously avoiding any comment on the issue. At the moment, it seems just as likely that BGG got a form letter and over-reacted than GW is being quite that ridiculous. BGG files include things like rulebooks for some games, and I could see GW being picky about that. Until we actually know the facts it's somewhat silly to demand that all GW games be deleted and the like.

It's obviously not as big as 40K or WFB, but I suspect it brings in as much as the Space Hulk re-release or Necromunda. Necromunda is in the same boat, but the rerealesed Space Hulk is quite another matter. Just look at how many stores are carrying the different lines - almost any game store (online or b&m) carries Space Hulk. The...
