Drain Magic.

@Micky-I was on the receiving end of some of that buff stacking with Wissan's Wildform. It was rough, when he got it off. What I found was difficult was that I would dispel it once and then he would cast it again. Grr.

It didn't make me mad, though. I just went and did it right back to him with my own buffs or by stacking hexes on him.

I'm disappointed you didn't use the High Magic End Times spell.

Agreed... honestly, the d6 casting limit kept me from using it. Had he had less casters i probably would have been a lot more tempted to use it.... but as i mentioned he had a level 4, a plague level 2 on the censor, and i think 2 voidlock engineers.

There was a slowed amount of magic going on.


The High Elf magic spell is absolutely disgusting against someone that takes only 1 magic user. Doing that against elves now means you are taking a chance of handing an all but unopposed magic phase to your opponent, which is terrifying. Sure the army can dispel, but straight dice dispelling vs. 4-5 + dice (and maybe more with elves!) is not a fun prospect.

I'll try to get that going next game, although oblivion is tempting too from Dark magic. If someone has the balls to use an arcane fulcrum against an elf list that is rockin' dark magic, they have some serious sack.

So how do we all feel about stacking identical buffs and debuffs?

Non time limited ones should stack ; time limited ones should not.

It can get a little nutty in certain builds.

Played my first end times list the other day,

Chaos Dwarfs vs Legion of Chaos.

Magic was pretty balanced both ways, the rolling for how many dice you can use adds lots of randomness to it.

LoC was using Kairos, with an ungodly amount of spells.

My lammasu ended using pit of shades on turn 5 and killing kairos. However my buddy was using a chaos sorcerer on manticore and decided to cast Great grandfather nurgle and blew up my poor lvl 1 daemonsmith and generated a free lvl 3 daemon price, who then had death magic and in that same phase purple sunned my bale Taurus, Lammasu, 20 infernal guard and 12 fireglaives, wiping me out.

I love the new magic and really enjoy the magic phase.

I can spam power of darkness, gaining power dice and strength. Now that warlocks know it, it's even better!
