It`s great to be back in the GW genre, I have forgotten just how much fun it is. My friends play in the main tournaments in the UK (they never stopped playing) so I need a bit of help guys/girls. Just finished watching The last samurai (tom cruise) and just realised how much the samurai code and HE genre are similar.

Against khorne and beastmen, try to shoot most of their units away. If it is one large tournament, try to concentrate you RBT on cavalry units the chaos player may have. Also try to situate your self on good ground. Also this will depend on what units that you currently have, as well as what you prefer in an army like a strong magic force of a more hard hitting army or a defensive one. I would suggest to go on the defensive, and let the other armies slaughter each other, the other two will definately consider Khorne as the greatest threat. Take care of the tomb kings leaders and the army will crumble. Beastmen.... well just don't let their magic get units behind your lines. -------------------- "To die without Honor is a worse sin than to die at the hands of a coward."

One thing though, putting a magic bow on a prince seems a waste to me. He has the same BS skill as a commander but he can fight better, why sink points on a bow when you could be supped up for combat? Take the reaver bow on a commander, and consider putting him on an eagle, a chariot or even a horse so he can move fast. For 2000 points two bolt throwers should be enough, no more or no less though. A couple of eagles are also extremely good. Then a base of spearmen and one (maximum) unit of archers. Swordmasters are also very good. I would also suggest going with magic for defensive purposes only. Have a scroll cady or two and the item that allows you to take a power dice from your opponent for your dispel pool. You won't get any magic working against Khorne, and if you can shut down most of the TK magic you are in a very good position. Other units, 5 strong silver helms are good for flanking and 6 dragon princes work well.
