Fun event fancy dress big armies a doubles games new special characters and I've heard possible allowence of scroll of binding who's joining me at this my bearded friends

[elspedo]

I'll most likely be there, Tim confirmed scrolls of binding on twitter going to see how that pans out before commiting

[jim1284]

Yes was thinkin of running papa for a laugh but a death or shadow wizard might be really good, that or cockatrice

[jim1284]

Thread and rules pack now up on wtf 1 dispel rune? What's peoples thoughts on this ?

[elspedo]

Mentioned it before to you on twitter but will put here so other people can chip in, one scroll and the 50 shots cap screws us imo its made my mind up to go to halloween mayhem at NWGC instead plus £14 cheaper

[jim1284]

50 shot cap doesnt bother me but the 1 dispel rune is "I Swear too much", going to be taking the truthsayer to dispel at 4+ and an anvil for max dispel dice otherwise i think they will sit back and magic us to death with pit dwellers gateway purplesun and all the other nastys they claim arent as bent as grudgethrowers, however might take empire or elves instead

[Griegsson]

Was just looking at this. One dispel is a bit pants, but anvil+balance+spelleater is OK. Truthsayer feels wrong to me, but a L4 life would be nice - though vulnerable to the Alien, as he can't join units.

Otherwise, I'd look at taking a fairly standard list with a few toy.

im defo going this,bit gutted on the max 315 points on scroll of binding was hoping to take "stampy"the war mammoth!i think ill take a taurus n bugman to this,yep one rune of dispel is a kick in the spuds!

[elspedo]

Was just looking at this. One dispel is a bit pants, but anvil+balance+spelleater is OK.

Only allowed 3 DD so your throwing the one you get from balance away, is that worth 50pts?

I do think the anvil is a good shout for this though, Anvil and two big blocks of hammerers with no unit caps could wreck face.

[jim1284]

looks like a 450 unit cap is going to be introduced to it which is a pain, was going to take 40 gwlongbeard core with 20 gw quarrellerss but might have to put that plan on the back burners

[Griegsson]

Jim, if I can get a pass for this would you like some double-anvil fun?

[jim1284]

if you mean the doubles ive agreed to partner with ian sturgess, hes loving the idea of anvil charging white lions sorry bud

[Griegsson]

That's cool. Anvil doesn't work on non-dwarfs though as far as I'm aware.

[jim1284]

Comp pack mentions magic working for your allies in the doubles games do I don't see why anvil can't we share general and bsb too

RAW:

page 31.

A single, friendly Dwarf unit (but not Gyrocopter) may make a normal move (which may be a March or Charge) in the Shooting phase.

RAI:
Before the quoted sentence it explicitly describes how and why Dwarf unit moves, from the "fluff" side of the things.
Unless resonating sound of anvils could somehow remind those Lions of what they owe to the Dawi, I see no way they'd move or feel any effect of the Anvil, save for the odd dieing due to Wrath and Ruin.

[jim1284]

Thats for a normal game this is a doubles game and it's in the. Comp pack he's a on my side and b casting speed of light and bironas on my hammerers to return the favour

[Griegsson]

I think it's worth you checking with Tim. Although allied armies can be buffed, it does say that normal race restrictions apply.

Magic – both players roll 2d6 for the winds of magic separately – Spells may be cast

on either friendly army as if they were from the same army but race specific rules

still apply.

so last week to get lists in, as far as ive seen only 2 dwarfs at this event, say it aint so

[Snake1311]

Anvil does not work on non-dwarf units.

By RAW, its very straightforward.
By RAI, its completely OTT (mind you, my regular boudles partner plays Brets).

[jim1284]

yes in normal games and at the maul but was worth a shot still he gets to cast speed of light and timewarp on my hammers so filth is settled but anvil charging white lions would have been nice was just how the pack was worded and seein as we are only allowed 1 spell eater or spellbreaker dwarfsgoing to have a rough time vs l4,s
