Speaking of John, any word if he is coming? He's like a mysterious gaming ninja that you don't see for a year and then appears at random

I'm looking forward to this! As for Jack's fears... I think that if he doesn't have ANY monsters, I don't think anyone would fault him for having an extra cannon or three. I'm thinking... Treeman ancient on an Emperor Dragon!! Now how will I sculpt it...

Team Calgary has sneaky code names that hurt my simple Edmonton brain But as long as both of you are on the list that's all I need to know.

PS - I had a WHOLE list worked out and ready to go until I read the first scenario and decided that my squishy shooty-general would last about... 22 seconds. Had to re-vamp my whole list, and as much as I don't like writing a list for ONE scenario, I would hate to go up to a table KNOWING I was about to lose! Ha ha

22 Seconds? That's pretty generous there James. You must be assuming that we wouldn't pick up on the fact that he's a squishy character for at least 20 seconds eh?

Remember that not only is the general safe in the second rank like a slann, but you can also leave the unit. So you might have to wait a turn or two until there is a unit to run into, but assuming your honor guard can hold out that long then your squishy general will be safe.

I assumed that if he's on a monster (he was) then he couldn't join the unit?
Are you saying that the general can join the "honor guard" unit no matter what beast he's riding?

Not only 'can' he, he MUST!
A bloodthirster on a stegadon? You bet he has to join that block of daemonettes!

yep, i have a feeling that alot of characters might be "squishy" when put against certain lists and the best place for a bloodthirster on a steggy is in the second rank!!! I am going to laugh at all of you that builds a list based on one scenario. if i know Brian, you will hamper yourself for the other 2 Remember that not only is the general safe in the second rank like a slann, but you can also leave the unit. So you might have to wait a turn or two until there is a unit to run into, but assuming your honor guard can hold out that long then your squishy general will be safe. unless there are gnoblars involved, then no where is safe. can you imagine 500 unbreakable gnobs!!! I need to change my pants brb

I dislike that GW decided to put this in a WD rather than the FAQ section, but this game is a living rule set and GW has changed the rules.

Brian just a quick question and sorry to bombard you a little here... considering that a lot of us won't HAVE big nasties that are designed to take a rider, is it going to be ok to have "counts as" models, as long as they are reasonably close to what they are supposed to be? I'm thinking about putting in a Lammasu and I can't FIND one to use, and nobody is stepping up with a loaner... would it be ok to just use a dragon with a nametag that says, "HELLO! MY NAME IS... Lammasu"?
