against lizardmen there is still a chance to cast it with lots of dice and no 6's, i wouldn't ever attempt to cast it against DE, ring of hotek makes my GS go
:KA-BOOM: .

<snip>...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...</snip>

This is why you always buy them a pistol ;) Skitterleap after some enemy character and just plink shots at them.

Unless your playing points denial ;)

Yesterday I made 12 Temple Guards and a Slann into 13 Clanrats Dev

I used it on 4 dice, was getting desperate, and got double sixes and double fours.


Previously I've used it on great swords on 7 dice for fun and killed 14 models. Great fun!

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+.

Dude, Empire is so crazy strong now! Buddy of mine has literally come up with an unstoppable 2250 list. He's massacred everyone who's ever fought it except for one time when he tied with Daemons; and that was only because he was flubbing every roll that day!

Irresistible Force can be obtained on ANY roll of double sixes; same as "Irresistible Dispel."

However, if you have a rule which enables IF on any double (like Teclis) then you would need an amount sufficient to cast the spell (so far.)

That said, I think the best use of this spell is frightening the opponent into never miscasting. Players are already terrified of rolling a 5-6 on the table when playing against Gateway. Now Skaven have an even better version since we get a new unit in the process.

Since we can always take the 13th spell with a Grey Seer, you can play mind tricks on your foe. Miscast followed by 5-6 equals a 25-level spell..."Hope you brought dispel scrolls or :KA-BOOM: "

I got my first cast today. I was playing Dark Elves and on the first turn they miscast and i got to cast any spell of mine. I chose 13 of course. But he dispelled it v.v.
BUT
On the 2nd turn the exact same thing happened and i killed 11 dark elf warriors with it.

I had a great 5000 point game the other day against dwarfs and dogs of war! I was pretty dirty and took 2 grey seers and a verminlord :) all three took the thirteenth spell.

on turn three i got it off on a unit of ten quarrelers with the dark emissary hiding in it! then on turn 4 i got it off again and finished off a unit of 14 dwarf iron breakers with his lord in it. both of them were cast on irresistable force and caused a great deal of upset to both of my opponents snicker-snicker!

Well I can't get into the specifics, but some of the general themes are a Warrior Priest on the Alter with that thing that swaps all stats, multiple artillery guarded by swordsmen, calvary with battle wizards who separate to harass the flanks and liberal use of Pistoliers and Detachments.
That and he's just a damn good general :P

Its called Von Horstmanns Speculum and it's the most irritating magic item in the history of the Empire <_<

Is the stat swap automatic or voluntary?

i wouldn't have a problem with that item... our characters don't have hat good stats to be worth exchanging... maybe the PP and the WL
