| FEAR ME, I'M A WARLOCK |
I: Not just a dark rider
Where to start with this one. S4 base, 2 attacks base, poison BASE. Just in their profile they are so much more than a basic Dark Rider.
II: Miscasts be DAMNED!
Feel free to 6 dice the 4D6 S5 shots, as a miscast, rather than roll on the table and lose dice, causes D3 wounds on the unit that you still get to ward save. Classy, a unit with next to zero drawbacks for smashing out what might be the most abusive spell in the dark elf's arsenal, and no fear of sucking your general down the hole like the Grey Seers, Daemon Princes or Wood Elves do or losing any extra die from the casting pool.
III: Channel, the name of the game
Rex, four wizards means four channels. I'm not going to try and cast with every wizard every turn but they all grant me a modicum of additional power and allow me to pick and choose whats right for the job at hand that turn. Do i need protection? Come forth the metal sorceress. Do i need to drop stats? Come forth the Hag. Do i need to melt a face? Hello WARLOCKS.
So worth the 25. Just as their fluff dictates, they are a suicide unit of the highest caliber. A Tool to be used and thrown away. This is the Dark Elf creed. the week wither and only the strong shall survive. Thus will it be Thursday Rex. Thus shall it be...
P.S: If i lose on Thursday i will blame anything but the warlocks, Rex's list seems to be a good counter to mine...
Well i have been blasted, in a counter fashion. Quite the multi tool those warlocks.
ReplyDeleteOne question about warlocks.
ReplyDeleteIf you fail to roll the power required to cast one of their spells, do they just nominate another warlock and cast the other spell or is thier magic phase over?

In my readings, Because the unit is considered to be a single Lvl 2 for the purpose of channeling, I would expect them to rule that they count as a single wizard for everything else. This would mean yes they would be unable to cast further.
