Once!
It was a unit of 10 high elven archers that became untrustworthy clanrat warriors instead.
If I only had cast it the round before, when my enemies archmage hid in the unit! :rolleyes:

Up to 24, kinda makes you wonder how often people take a Dispel Scroll eh? I know I'd be scrolling it if it ever got off!

This shouldn't count for the tally, but i'll post it anyway.
I managed to get it off against a unit of 24 saurus warriors with irresistable force.
I rolled 19 wounds on the unit.
Then we remembered the seer had lost the spell due to an earlier miscast.

I cast it on a unit of Dark Elf repeater crossbows with two casters in it. I used 3-4 dice and a power stone. I rolled 4 6's on my casting roll... and a 5...

Sadly, I was just short in range! :(
Twisted, evil, treacherous, and diabolical rats wielding arcane technologies that are dangerous to foe and friend, that care not for their kin and are constantly plotting against each other. What more need I say about what makes Skaven cool?

Have spare little rats from the old clanrats, current plague monks, corpse cart, or individual rats from the doom wheel? PM me. I want them. 30 more needed.

Not exactly something that maybe should be here but related in some way...

Played against Empire the other day and he had first turn and flew with a hero close to the Seer and told me he had an item that took a random spell from a caster within 12" on 4+.

He rolled a 5 and then of course rolled exactly the number needed for 13th Spell. Now it was one use bound spell power level 25!!! for him....

Luckily he rolled 6" on his flee distance when my block of Stormvermins and 5 giant rats charged him and the giant rats caught him before he had time to use the spell, PHEW!

Hope you never get the nightmarish visions that I got when he took the spell and I saw the block of clanrats and seer in it turn to enemy clanrats...=)

you guys realize that any smart lizardmen player is now going to take the 50 point upgrade on the slaan and say "Your 6's to cast dont count" and it will be worth it every time for a unit of 700-1000 pts!

Have yet to play any games with a Seer (or at all, for that matter), but in regards to casting it on an enemies Clanrats, wouldn't it just mean they were magically persuaded to change sides? Brainwash in a way?

So don't take it against Lizardmen? That's the beauty of a spell you cannot possibly roll. You make the decision at game time concerning the spell.

My opponent had the miscast that let me cast a spell yesterday. He was out of scrolls and dice so I tossed the spell at my opponent's black guard. He had, I think 13 black guard left and I rolled a 15. It was pretty awesome.

I really don't mess with the spell but I do often default to it pretty often in the off chance of getting that miscast result. There are certain armies I don't bother with though. Mortal Chaos(all knights mostly + black tongue), Demons(tourney standard list), Bretonnians (not enough casting + all knights), and certain HE and DE armies(the monster based ones).

So far though I've had a few successes with it against my empire, dwarf, and certain HE and DE opponents.

So on about turn 5 (might have been 4), I have seen my priest killed by a witch elf champ with the ASF BSB, and my level 2 warlock reduced to level 1 and sans warp lightning due to miscast. His remaining spell: Skitterleap, yay. So my Seer had become my sole remaining magic phase.

I had my Dark Elf opponent on his heels, with his only remaining army being a hydra with 1 wound left, 7 xbows, a sorc lord hiding behind a forest, and a lone level 2 sorc on foot. I thought to myself, well, Plague will only do 1 wound to the level 2, or I could go the safe route and plague his xbows... but the 25th spell would just eat the sorc if it got off. I was out of power stones from previous failed attempts, but whatever, game's almost over anyway.

Toss 5 dice: 2 4 4 6 6.

Level 2 lone sorc = (skaven) x1


PS On a side note, on his turn six his single-wound hydra charged my single remaining block of slaves. 8 hydra swings (frenzy) promptly became 8 kills. Then I broke... D3+1 = 4 S3 hits, I roll one 6 to wound, he rolls a 3 for his armor and 2 for his regen. Dead hydra. Best warhammer moment EVER.
