I'm curious about something, what do you think is the least fun warcaster/warlock to play against? The guy who just shuts down your entire army and makes you wish you didn't even play. He doesn't have to be the best, just the most annoying.

I'm curious because I listened to a battle report with Grundback against epic Asphyxous. That went about as well as you'd expect. Apparently getting a bile thrall halfway across the board is a little bit annoying... At the end of the game both players discussed their experiences, and one of the comments was "yeah, it's not really fun to play against the lich, but there's worse casters to play against. At least you got to show up and make attack rolls and pretend you have a chance to win."

Just curious what you think. I'm certainly not going to go out and buy the majority recommendation or anything (although it might be kind of funny, it would probably a bad move from the "find a game" standpoint).

Like watching other people play video games (badly) while blathering about nothing in particular? Check out my Youtube channel: joemamaUSA!

the other player gets to decide your activation order, and you have to sacrifice action or attack, and her spell list is ball busting, and she can duplicate your spells.

Basically she feats, and your next turn takes like 3 times longer as the other player plays for you for a turn, its really obnoxious.

For me it's the Harbinger. Her mix of abilities has always struck me as terribly annoying. And she thinks she's so fething cool with her floating abilities... what she doesn't know is those guys with the chains have totally been looking up her dress/robe/thing. *grumble*

eHaley, nothing can stop that stupid feat. Heck, some of her spells are as good as some Feats.

I hope her character dies in fluff. No wait! She gets Wracked by eReznik

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.

It's a toss-up between Haley2, Harbinger and Skarre2 for me. None are especialy pleasant to say the least.

And stuff.

Don't hate eHaley now, wait until she comes back from this illness with a freaking vengeance, eStryker style, then you will hate her.

eHaley and eDenny, to a lesser extent pDenny. Their Feats basically make you skip a turn, and are no fun at all.
