http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net WHFB armies. I choose brets. What is a good point level for learning the game? Is 500 point armies decent to start with or should we shoot for something higher?

Thanks
Steve

I also have to be really honest with you.
You will have a really hard time brets are the oldest army that hasnt been updated you will have a really hard time.
That being said the whfb is a really fun game and you will eventually get a new book.
So dont get discouraged if you dont do too well.

Also check out oncebitten360 on youtube he knows how to play brets well. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3350975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3350975.page GMT 40k that i never beat him. So this would just continue that. Plus he is playing vamp counts with a spanking new book and the other player is playing wood elves.

I will tell everyone to put a 750 list together. I am going to do something very simple like 2 knights of the realm squads, some bowmen, a damsel, pali with banner and of course my lord. Hopefully i will put the actually number up here tonight.

Not for nothing i finished 1 unit of knights of the realm and wow they look awesome in a lance. I need to take photos of them. Its a shame that people around don't play fantasy as much as 40k. Each seem awesome we needed new models to paint.

But yes they are not a you cant win army by any means it just takes time practice patience and luck.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3351578.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3351578.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3351684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3351684.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3352040.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3352040.page GMT

With that said, a Damsel in a lance formation is quite good, as she can still cast her buffs and has the advantage of being protected in the second rank. It also helps ensure that her spells will always be in range of the forward units. With that said, putting her in the back with a bunker unit seems to be a pretty common choice.

The only other thing I can say is that, unless your Army Book says different, you can't have two of the same banner, so you wouldn't be able to put the Chalons on both your BSB and your KotR SB.

Ok, well, one more thing. I would be wary of putting all your characters in the same unit, as that makes them a very juicy target, and 11 models are not that durable.

Good Luck.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3368029.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398722/3368029.page GMT
