8th Ed. Rule issues and bias

[GreenMachine]

Fair enough. I didn't mean to assume as I don't know the person your playing against and rely on other people I have and I tend to see people that argue things like this will do it with multiple avenues during a game and it really brings the whole game to a crawl when you need to stop and check the book everytime they pick up the dice. I begrudge people who do this.

Maybe I'm missing something, did he show you the rune in the book that allowed him to do this or just say "The dwarf forum said so" ?

I can imagine that being very annoying, but not everybody is the kind of guy to use that to their own advantage, or people do not even seem to try that with me. I am, even though i say it myself, on quite a high level with the rules due to the fact i frequent tournaments, i generally know when things are not how they are supposed to be. It is however never fun when someone with a better grasp of the rules then you tries to use that to bend rules to their favour.

I imagine he overstated that the "Entire Dwarf Army Agrees". I actively look for the bias in this forum to make the LM fight a little dirtier (after all I can tell my opponent "that's what LO said!"). However, I have never really found much, I have only learned things that make the LM play less effectively than my usual opponent and I had previously understood (such as PF, and targeting with deliverance).
Regardless, that is an interesting point you bring up OP. Are Dwarves his only army?

You should use the ECT Lizardmen rulings then. (better for us)
