What are you doing today hobbywise?

I don't think he can join another unit (besides his hounds) because he is unbreakable. I could be wrong though.

What about his ranged attacks? What is your opinion on them?

You are correct about unbreakable. The Hawks Talon is str 6 and like a bolt thrower with no -1 to hit when moving although no ignoring armour. That's decent and is fun to cut the target unit down a little. I seldom used it as I was marching so as to be able to get into CC and out of cannon etc shooting at me. It's really frustrating that he is so close to be something I'd like to take. It's like the Sisters, on the dragon they look cool but aren't good in the game due to so many laser guided cannons. Taken on an eagle they are awesome! I have them on an eagle but would have loved the dragon to be good. I love that model but don't own it.

No idea with Ole World but it's high in Fantasy. He's also weirdly fragile for such a tough creature, I really want to play him but I can bring so much more to my army for his cost. Drop him by 100pts and he'd be viable but possibly too strong. Trying to plan a game where it's mostly bring fun stuff and cost won't be the issue. No one seems to be biting, they don't game enough anymore and prefer better balanced games. New year sonwe will keep trying!

From what I remember from the Wood Elf Arcane Journal, he's around 450 some points and is still a glass cannon. M9, S and T5, 5 attacks and wounds, WS8 with Frenzy, d3 +2 stomp attacks, Strikes first but only a 5+ ward for defense.

I'm feeling rather dumb right now, he's a monster so he'd get stomp attacks in 8th as well. Just looked at his profile for 8th and the price is still high and his not being able to join units,other than his hounds, is what kills his usefulness. Let me buy more of those and he would have the ability to break Ranks and have the ablative wounds he needs to survive getting into cc. Still can't believe I overlooked stomps.

it's surprising how many forgotten things one can possess.
I was putting some order in my "spare parts", and i discovered an old Settra (metal) with chariot of the gods, still unbuilt! :p

I've not quite unearthed treasures like that, but I've been guilty of forgetting things I bought (usually with a specific purpose in mind) only to find them later one. Usually after I did something else to fit the purpose I had originally got them for.

the funny thing is: i have NO IDEA.
I've even purchased, assembled and painted Settra reprinted with the last "made to order" some years ago :p

That is hilarious! I am sorry for your wallet that being said. I found a Zacharius the everliving, complete with dragon in my extra box. I bought him when I was planning on playing VC in 7th edition but we had six guys playing Vampires so I shelved them and then sold them. I found him maybe four years ago and there was a bidding war at my local store for him. So many abandoned army ideas. Almost finished with my Slayer army just need to paint a few command squads and find two old special characters.
 
Does looking at my pile of shame and being ashamed counts? I have been getting my life together this year, and part of its a little bit of gaming. Looking at the pile of shame gives hope.
