See these two parts on YouTube for another match of my Lizardmen against High Elves, this time with Teclis (ouch...) Scenario: Dawn Attack! Enjoy. part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQU0np-s3Tg part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by1rdjwYxC4
A well recorded and presented battle report, nice job, however considering those terrible miscasts in turn one I would definately advise you to cast Throne of Vines on your slann as early on as possible, or, if you were expecting Teclis, taking cupped hands of the old ones would have ruined his day.
Yes, you're right. however the first miscast I had was from the channeling bonus of the arcane ruin nearby my Slann (see special rules of arcane ruins on page 124; I rolled 3 sixes!). So, that was before I could get the Throne of Vines. Other times he disspelled my Throne of Vines, however I did get this spell on some other turns, and with the 2+ to ignore a miscast it is pretty good. The cupped hands is also good, however not a good combo with Throne of Vines I think and that's why I did not take it this time.
