Now I'm surprised Assasin's Creed even runs on any PC out there as it has to be very harsh on any kind of hardware that can be bought for a reasonable price. With that said, just by looking at the screenshot, it says you need a better processor. You mentioned 2.6 GHz while you have a 2.2 GHz one (wh...

Your models look stunning. I particularly like how you used somewhat basic colors but used them in places not everyone does. For instance, the black armor on the Black Guards. The highlights on some of the purple cloth are a bit harsh for my taste, but when seen from a bit farther, such as when on t...

I would leave out CoKs for the time being as they're hard to field even at 1000 pts. In a 600 pts. game, The smallest CoK unit, with full command, would cost you 190 pts, nearly one third of your force. That might be okay for some other more basic units, but CoKs are stupid, and so unreliable. That ...

2 RBT = £24 I think you'll find that having two RBTs is more than twice as useful as having only one. If both are well positioned, the threat to your opponent is not only doubled, but you can combine them on some units, taking down what you want to take down fast, and it gives your opponent two tar...

I just bought some magnets from http://www.amazingmagnets.com/ . I liked how they have a very wide array of sizes you can choose from, and how, if you buy in bulk, it quickly gets cheaper. Shipping did cost me a bundle though but that's Canadian customs for you.

As they are now, I field Dark Riders in units five-strong, with a musician and rxbs. I use the rxbs to harass my opponent's weak units that come anywhere within the field of view of the Riders, which with them being fast cavalry means anywhere really. However, I never sacrifice movement in favor of ...

Very nice. I like the colors, dark but not too bland and very Druchii. The last photo shows how well you did the capes. I personally find it rather hard to shade (or rather highlight) large black areas well, often either giving them not any noticeable amount of depth, or having them turn out too gra...

When playing against Dwarves, which is like half the games I've played, I take all my sorceresses and put them aside... far from the gaming table. Magic is close to useless against them, and you'll probably miscast as often as you land spells. I also find that bolt throwers work well against them. A...

I like the colors and the overall feel of this quite original army. The paint job seems very clean and efficient, altough unfinished (correct me if I'm wrong, but seems like shading's missing). However, I have a little gripe about the riders (the only photo close enough to reveal much detail). I'm n...

The more recent titles in the Warcraft series of games has some manticores which, altough a bit cartoonish, have a look I really like. They tend to come in somewhat lighter colors than what we usually see in a Dark Elf army and have an impressive scorpion-like tail. Maybe you'd have more chances sea...

Well, I'm not the most veteran of players but, from my point of view, your friend is mostly right. Of course, I've played more than half my games against the Dwarves which, as an army, nullify Druchii magic, have more armour than most of our units can even hope to go through, and don't really care a...

To make my eyes, I start with black, of the shape of the eye I want to make. Then I paint the interior of that mark with white. Though I only leave a very thin border that I often trespass a bit on, the black edge really helps a lot to define the eye and make it distinct form the rest of the face, e...

I'll try not to repeat the very valid things others have said before me... Not only do I like all the models you put together, but I really like some tiny details of them. For instance, the blood in your cauldron, while not quite liquid enough for my taste, looks at least like it would be of a gel-l...

I've found the Manbane to work very well against heavy armour, but then only the hag has it and it, and the other witches, tends to get butchered quite fast even when flanking. So in effect, that's one or two kills from the manbane only. With the price of the models it kills, that normally makes it ...
