Well.. the dark elves list did not look that frightening so my guess is thst you won. 15-5 perhaps? You should buy your son some warlocks, bolt throwers, a peg for his master and stuff
I just want to point out that your Slann build is illegal. It cannot have both a Dispel Scroll and Channeling Staff
Minigiant - Have to ask why not? As a noob, I'm not sure of these things, I thought that it was fine as within the points for magic items. Sunchax, oh he's got some of those, he just wanted to use a list with the big characters in it. Yes, I won, but not 15 - 5. In the past when he's used things like bolt throwers, warlocks etc, he's usually won. Prior to this game I think the scores were about 4 - 2 to him. My two prior wins coming when he'd only just got some DE and was getting used to them so don't really count! Other than those, the Dark Elves have gone home with new snakeskin shoes etc!
You are not allowed 2 arcane items. You have to pick Dispel scroll or channeling staff. Personally i would drop the cube from the skink and move the scroll there
OK. Thanks. I'll have to remember that. Thankfully it didn't matter in the game - While I did use the Cube, I rolled a 1 so it was ineffectual. Thanks for the advice.
Just to elaborate, you can only take 1 of each type of magic item (Weapon, Armor, Talisman, Arcane Item, Enchanted Item). It's a rule from the very beginning of the Magic Items page in the BRB. So, just like you can't take the Channeling Staff and Dispel Scroll, you also can't take Armor of Destiny and Charmed Shield or Dawnstone and Dragonbane Gem.
Thanks for the advice. Didn't realise that. Thankfully never been an issue (apart from this last game)
