    If you look at dual-wielding now, what it does is allows you to re-roll 1's To Hit rather than granting an extra attack.

    For the Monks, yes. For everyone else, it's just the 1's.

    Ok, so I finally put a steg on the table with the sunfire towers on it. I must say, it's a horde killer! I played against Vampire Counts and his big units didn't have a chance. Zombies, skeletons, grave guard it didn't mater. Once the steg reached his units, I was rolling 15+ dice per shooting phase just for the towers. On a really lucky shot I rolled 18 dice to hit his grave guards and 15 of those die. Needless to say, he didn't like that to much!

    That's a very nice/lucky roll! Considering how grave guards hit hard. I assume his save roll sucked though lol
    Vamps are the toughest army imo in aos. I also play them and if taken advantage of all buffs and mods they can take down anything. So one counter are our beloved flame throwers :3

    Telling you, man. Sunfire Throwers are the way to go for a regular Steggy.

    I have 2 steggys, one is EOG and the other is Sunfire throwers, while the range of the bow is good the damage of the throwers just out performs it so much.

    You need to buy a Bastiladon then another steggy, the searing beam of the Bassy is mental damage and is much better than a bow option on the steggy, so EOG, Throwers and Beam = melted faces of your opponent.

    Tell you this, the Bastilladon is my main monster. Its 3+ save can be buffed to a 2+ with a mage, given rerolls with a priest, and has a total immunity to rend and a 50% immunity to mortal wounds, plus its Searing Beam can hit like a truck with the right rolls. And on top of it all, it's easy to summon back. It's one of the best monsters we have, the only other one that even comes close is Grymloq.

    I can imagine. Probably should start another thread for this but in the AoS app they changed all the names of the heros to generic names. Gor-rok is now just a Sunblood. Chak-ax is just an eternity warden and so on.

    Going to be honest, I love that change. As somebody who likes to RP my army and name my characters, I feel rather liberated by the fact that I can now name some of my Heroes when before they were named characters.

    I agree with it too! I like naming my generals as well haha. The whole Seraphon thing seems to be a nice change and the new book looks pretty snazzy. I feel like they might try to combine Fantasy with 40k.i mean we are space lizards now lol

    Eh, I don't think they'd do that 40k bit. To be frank, we're actually less like space lizards than we used to be. Rather than coming from space, we seem to come from a more mystical source now in High Azyr. Like, we're less from the stars and more from starlight, if that makes sense. (Which I like, I love what we've heard about our new nature and High Azyr.)
