I was re...Hi Mark,<br /><br />Ben from Leicester SQUIG here.<br /><br />I was reading your pondering on the Spangleshard and noticed that you have misunderstood how it works.<br /><br />The Ward save that you get isn't dependant on the strength of the attack, it is on what the opponent physically rolls to wound.<br /><br />I.E. I fire my cannon which is S10, I need a 2 to wound your Tyrant, you do not need a 3+ to nulify the wound.<br />You wait to see what I roll to wound *rolls dice* I roll a 5, you need to roll a 6.<br /><br />Just thought this might helpin decision making.<br /><br />Here's an interesting thread on it too;<br /><br />http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=14619.msg212404#msg212404Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192831106875466401.post-69457846295754831022010-05-15T20:03:06.574+01:002010-05-15T20:03:06.574+01:00For A Tyrant I would generally prefer the Wyrdston...For A Tyrant I would generally prefer the Wyrdstone necklace which covers all eventualities. <br /><br />Having said that, since the army book was released back in 2005 I've noticed a general, if modest, increase in all the new army's attack strength. So, with this in mind, you might find that the Spangleshard is actually quite good value for money if you can keep the wearer safe from missile fire.<br /><br />In a tournament I think I'd stick with the necklace because I think you'll find it to be more reliable.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Sigmar<br /><br />PS. I quite like your idea of giving the Spangleshard to a Hunter. I'll need to dig out my book to remind myself of the Hunter's strengths and weaknesses.Sigmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642441201859816835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192831106875466401.post-50548694824867945452010-05-15T16:00:00.096+01:002010-05-15T16:00:00.096+01:00I think you only have this partly correct:

Since the Screamer can only Wound on a 6 then you're Spangleshard would only kick in...Never. (This you got right.)<br /><br />If wounded by a S6 Slavegiant, and they roll their 3 to wound, then you have a 4+ chance to nullify the wound. If they roll a 6 to wound though, you're in the same boat as the example above, and you're Spangleshard is junk.<br /><br />The potential to save is great, but do you feel ok relying on your opponent to roll high so that you can always have that save? Thats pretty much what this comes down to in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192831106875466401.post-6556466461900872342010-04-24T13:40:29.683+01:002010-04-24T13:40:29.683+01:00Ogres!

I would recommend using those points on a Fistful of Laurels since you don't have a BSB. That one Stubborn reroll could mean the difference in a game.Randroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503450031323443990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192831106875466401.post-63939059053329229062010-03-30T20:19:45.193+01:002010-03-30T20:19:45.193+01:00Nice write up, sounds like a slightly frustrating ...Nice write up, sounds like a slightly frustrating weekend, particularly the scenarios didn't really do a lot to help your army out.<br /><br />Hope you find a way of getting the army to work as hate to think of WoC as a one trick magic pony.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1192831106875466401.post-51074449083189332912010-03-27T19:05:28.515+00:002010-03-27T19:05:28.515+00:00Cheers Randriod
