Just won the Dwarf Long campaign.  199 turns.  Exciting 'til the last turn.

Congrats on the win Jomni. That's the way to show those Non-Dwarves who's really the biggest guy around.

Nicely done! I take great joy in TW victories!

When the High Elves, Dark Elves, Skaven, and Wood Elves join the party, I'm in like Flynn. Hell, I may even hold out for the Chaos Dwarves! The CD's were the only WFB army that I ever painted to completion. Perhaps the crowning painting achievement of my life.

looking forward to elves and skaven - with the elves strategy of turning everything into a pin cushion and the games nod to the power of the projectile it should be fun watching an army disappear before your archers

I thought the High Elves were supposed to have some bitchin' Sorcerers and scale-armored Swordmasters in WHF, as their notable elites?  Or were you only speaking of the wood elves?

No no you're right - there's some awesome melee troops too but they're renowned for their archery

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Are Lizardmen represented in the game? I have a minis Lizardmen army and they were a lot of fun.

Has anyone done an analysis of the relative power of WFB TT magic versus the TW implementation?  It was a standard, and I daresay valid, critique of all the iterations of WFB that, eventually, the magic system unbalanced the whole business.  As far back as the legendary ruleset "A Fistful of Miniatures" the, regrettably now deceased, author was musing rhetorically as to why one would bother raising a unit of swordsmen with Forelock the Mighty could undo them with a gesture.

CA seems to have done a nice job of making the squishies powerful but not overpowering.

In my bit of experience with TW:W, the battle magic doesn't seem to be too overwhelming.  More like... supportive.

The direct damage stuff seems to be more effective for the single target spells meant for enemy heroes.  Which is good because they take awhile to whittle down.

The AoE damage spells have been a bit Meh thus far, which is probably a good thing.  Due to that, I've leaned more towards the unit buffing spells, which are helpful but not Murder Rampage levels of OP.

The Dwarves as a faction shun magic in general.
