The best defense is a well planned offense. Elves are fast, mobile and hard hitting. This makes them ideal for the offensive game. But Elves are weak and few in number, which is not good for the defensive, attritional warfare. I find it best to hit hard, hit fast and take the other guy down quickly ...

My army has 11 shades and they have two main uses. 1: warmachine hunters. 22 shots, bound to frag the crew hiding behind their guns. 2: Bodyguard. I never hide my assassin inside a unit of troops. I'm paying 179 points for this guy! I'm not wasting that investment, I'm bloody well using it. I never ...

You will most likely outnumber Knornate forces, they are hideously expensive. Don't take a sorceress, it's doubtful you'll get past his fast number od dispelss dice and you don't need to counter any magic. Dark riders and shades are the key to success, run him around then flank or rear charge. May t...

We need to take into account the main aspects of Druchii pyschology and culture. Pride: The Druchii are an extremely proud people, to admit one is the victim of crime would be to show weakness, it would be a public admittance that the Druchii in question was not strong enough to prevent the crime or...

The US national guard and British territorial army are essentialy state-supported militias. They are uniform in equipment and battle dress. Druchii are very professional, very organised and have been doing this a very long time. Their tactics rely on a uniform approach to combat, blocks of spearmen,...

although i don't really know anything about psychology in a scientific sense, it has occurred to me in games that specific units in each army tend to cause fear or terror not in a warhammer but a very real sense by making opponents avoid these units or try to take them out with shooting, magic. mon...

Why come p with fancy rules for the Draich? In effect it's a big, bloody sword and the rules already cover great weapons. Executioners have the killing blow skill, Swordmasters ahve their own special rules. Essentialy both units use the same weapon which is little different from the Empire greatswor...

A good trick i have found is to deploy an assassin using the scout rule in a unit of Shades. It's amazing how paranoid people are about assassins when they are in full sight. The Shade bodyguard protects him from shooting and your opponent suddenly gets very worried about a Pyscho with a 12 inch cha...

I go for warriors. My army has two solid blocks of 20 spearmen. They can be useful on the charge and just as useful on defence with their two ranks. It's a flexible force. My army is themed around an independent privateer. His army is raised from his Clan's family troops and are all warriors, with t...

The host of the Crimson Blade
Ok, first I need to point out this is a theme army. Kezef is a privateer raidng for slaves in the name of the Lords of Har Ganeth. He has a small raiding fleet, but is not from a Black Ark. So his crew and warriors are from the Crimson Blade clan, not corsairs. It's themed around a force of raiders ...

A full revision done by asking PLAYERS, players from this very forum no less. I think GW has shown the Druchii MORE favour than they have any other army, not less....

My first impression is of an army with a little bit of everything, I dare say it'll look bloody good on the field. But it lacks any clear direction. When building a force it's best to pick a tactic and build an army to fit it, as opposed to throwing in a bit of whatever looks good. I believe in 3 ma...
