In my next game I'm planning to use some magic resist against my friends vampire counts so a couple of units get a ward save against curse of years and gaze of nagash. The aim is to force him to target my expendeple(ish) wood elf units.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085492666079449292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-44701178208121275942016-12-14T15:40:43.218-08:002016-12-14T15:40:43.218-08:00I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. ...I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Are you saying how good do I think it is, given that it only protects against damaging spells? Or whether I think it should affect other spells (like hexes) that directly affect the target?<br /><br />As a rule, magic resistance varies in its usefulness. The more likely a unit is to be targeted by damage magic, the better the mileage you will get from it. So units like heavily armoured knights and creatures with regeneration are good choices because magic is often the most efficient way to ignore armour or negate regeneration - so the extra protection becomes worthwhile. For a regular unit which can just be shot to death with arrows, it's probably not worth getting magic resistance - because your enemy will just throw their spells somewhere else (and shoot that unit to death with arrows).Hoodlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507134198601519253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-82033908907874091982016-12-13T09:18:10.190-08:002016-12-13T09:18:10.190-08:00I still play 8th edition rather than 9th.

I've been looking at it and it seems that there are a lot of spells that would be countered by magic resistance. What are your thoughts on the subject?Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085492666079449292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-59217040851438510342014-08-06T15:58:52.035-07:002014-08-06T15:58:52.035-07:00You're right, the Skaven lores somehow never q...You're right, the Skaven lores somehow never quite made it. No doubt if I review their lores now, they will immediately get a new army book and make all my efforts pointless. On the bright side, that would mean you got a new book!<br /><br />And yes, why did you sell your Empire? Can't have been the right thing to do...<br /><br />Cheers!Hoodlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507134198601519253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-75899920616404472632014-08-06T09:04:11.732-07:002014-08-06T09:04:11.732-07:00Hello there!

The battle reports are great, you and your friends put a lot energy and enthusiasm into this hobby.<br />The reviews of the magic lores is also very useful for planning games, building armies and try to get something what ist worth to be called a plan.<br />But at the moment I´m playing the real might in the warhammer world - Skaven.<br />It would help the council of the thirteen a lot when you could show them (me) how to get the most of the two magic lores.<br />Be sure, I won´t stop reading this blog (and being happily entertained at the same time) when you don´t have the time (or if you don´t plan to support Skaven to rule the world).<br />While reading your reports I wonder why the heck did I sell my Empire army?<br />Cheers from cologne!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
