Don't you think Priest rolls unbalance the game somewhat?

[b]The Kick in the Bollocks Rule.[/b]
Any player can call this rule if s/he thinks another player is cheating, power gaming with the rules (Hero at the front of a single file of Berserkers etc) or just generally ?[b]Acting the Cunt?[/b]. If found to be justified, the accused player must modify their gaming style/tactics or receive the ?[b]Kick to the Bollocks[/b]?. If the accuser is in fact found to be the one being a ?[b]Twat[/b]? then they run the risk of receiving the ?[b]Kick[/b]? instead. As a general rule anything that smacks of Rules Lawyering counts as ?[b]Acting the Cunt?[/b].

Please feel free to throw in your tuppence worth, just don't expect me to care. :D

[b]Priest Rolls...Priest it![/b]

I think that priest rolls should only be allowed a limited number during battles.

When we played the game at Salute this year it definately slowed the games down.

After numerous dice rolls and several consulting of charts you score a hit and someone shouts "Priest it!" the priest roll suceeds...all well and good except that all that dice rolling was for nothing.

Maybe half a dozen Preist rolls allowed per battle?

Maybe a point for the sixth international frothers congress.

Nah, that's Prince August.

I meant Prince August.

Or maybe Prince August.

One of them, anyway.

[quote="Rev Nice"]that Irish company that do Prince August stuff (I think).[/quote]

You mean Prince August?

They may be a little over large, but Westwind's Dwarf Wars range has a couple of different mounted units:

They do some on ponys too, but I don't recon them too much.

[quote="UnclEvl"]Far as Dwarves go I'd agree - they are hard little bastards if you take em on in a squared up toe-to-toe 'fair' fight.
Especially if you do it with lightly armed troops.
But considering their army as a whole, over-costed - especially if they can't field any of their Ursine Cavalry options and whose got many of them.[/quote]

Err...I have 10 Dwarf cavalry and I've only just started collecting an army :? . I have been impressed enough both playing and playing against dwarves to start a dwarf army myself.[/quote]

There aren't many options for Dwarf cav (probably due to the fact that Warhammer refuses to let stunties 'ave 'em.).
Old Glory do various boar riders (I like the idea of the blunderbuss riders, but buying them in the UK is still not as cheap as I'd like for castings of this 'quality'.)
Reaper do a leader atop a bear and Mirliton do the old Grenadier bear rider sculpts.
Westwind do nice (but large) cav in a selection that runs from ram riders to pig riders.
Also large (and rather more pricey) is Rackham's Tir na Bor (or whatever) monstrous boar type creature with rider.
Ral Partha Europe sell old Chronopia beast riders and others turn up on ebay from that Irish company that do Prince August stuff (I think).
Despite all this though, I was stupid enough to want the dwarf cav for Salute fit in with my barbarian dwarf theme and so it's conversions all the way. The riders are BTD slayers (with an exception) and the beasts are...hopefully going to be finished by the deadline. Mounted battle leader and hero are also atop conversions...if the buggers work out!
