8th Ed. Overcoming the Odds... My Force to take on Warriors of Chaos

Great praise from the esteemed keeper of the indexes, thanks Scaly

 

I thought that you couldn't use power dice to dispel? I didn't see that anywhere in the BRB... Or am I blind?

(I thought that was the benefit of Drain Magic spell from HM?)

 

You use power dice to dispell Remains in Play spells like the Transformation, it should be under Remains in Play spells in the Magic section.

 

The hellcannon is a great unit, but it can be a little hit or miss. Most people would not list it as the best unit in the WoC roster. IMHO

 

Right, so LOL, LMFAO, etc.

My friend says we agreed Orcs & Gobbos for next game......

I told him fine, but as want a WoC rematch afterwards so I’ll use everything you guys have given in the game after that.

Time to start a new thread...

 

Oh right, i was thinking about the Magma Cannon of the Chaos Dwarfs. the DP is of course their best unit. It is still among the better ones though imho, especially as cannons are good against us. It certainly is high variance, but if it does not explode in on itself, it is bound to do some damage.

Orcs and Goblins is a MUCH easier mattchup though, they really are one of the weaker armies

 

Yeah, the Magma Cannon is bloody accurate and highly effective. Even the Hellcannon is far superior in a Chaos Dwarf list due to the Daemonsmith's ability to re-roll the artillery dice or scatter dice.

In a WoC army I'd say the best unit is either the DP or a Hortennse character (Lord, Sorcerer or BSB) depending on the presence or absence of opposing cannons. After that I'd probably go with Skullcrushers, Chimeras and Throgg. Then I'd say it would come down to Warriors, Hellcannons, Gorebeast chariots and Chaos Trolls. To your point though, the Hellcannon is a solid unit!!
