Using Magic Blast is to counter the stratigy of using Stealth. If nobody uses Stealth Characters, Magic Blast would be useless. Therefore, I dont think there will be many armies based on Magic Blast, and Stealth will still be a very useful ability in this Sceanario.

The Sprites are better figures against Magic Blast, but what if he faces armies with Nightstalkers, Fell Reapers and Wind Minions? Most figures have 8 inch movement, which allows them to base the Sprite without being shot at. The Nightstalkers 10 inch range will be useful aginst figures without Stealth or Limited Invisibulity.

*** Night Stalkers also have that 12 attack with WM for people hellbent on playing pesky Fell Reapers.

Magic Blast is not useless! WTF is up with that. Just becaus it doesnt make something else useless doesnt make it useless. It can still hit figures without stealth. Stealth isnt useless because it limits what can hit u if it doesnt shut out range all together.


First off the sprites are ment to block for the magus draconum. If The figs wont get near the thing without being blasted unless they have LI. The wind Minion will hurt the sprites baddly but thats what the wraith is for.

Secondly most figures dont have flight so the 8 inch speed is reduced to 4.

How about your enemy is **nightwitch (41), Zombie baron(82), ***screeching terror(36), 2*technomancers(50) , wind minion(85) and * imp ----3ML,2 SHOCKWAVE,3 LI,2 necromancy,2 w/vampirism(storyline flavor),3 fliers and a command roll----when windy gets ML into sprites area they lose

LoL ok, lets just call it less effective. I dont think anyone will use Magic Blast instead of the printed 4 dammage. My point from that post is to state that Stealth would still be a very useful ability.

An Imp can block for the Magus Draconum. Granted that the Imp wont last.... Nightstalkers can also block for the Magus Draconum, it will also provide good firepower... Although it wont work good against MB. What if the opponent uses Fell Reapers or other characters with flight like the Striker?

In this sceanario, a lot if not most figures WILL have flight. Atleast the experianced players.
