this is great input i've been away from DE for a couple of years and I'm trying to build a base list that includes the SoS. I think teamed with WE this could be devastating to any unit in WHF

any suggestions on how to protect a SoS unit from shooting long enough to get it into combat?

thanks

indeed - took two years off and played VC... now I'm back with a vengeance. Good to see you're still around. I need to get caught up on all things DE. -tom

Has anyone tried using the CoB with executioners and how did it go?

Dark Elf Dreadlord: 4 Dark Elf Supreme Sorceress: 4 Dark Elf Sorceress: 4 Dark Elf Master: 4 Dark Elf Death Hag: 2 Cauldron of Blood: 4 Manticore (DE): 1 Dark Steed: 3 Dark Pegasus: 3 Black Dragon: 1 Cold One (DE): 3 Cold One Chariot: 1 Dark Elf Warriors: 3 Dark Elf Crossbowmen: 4 Dark Elf Assassins...

All good points... while between leagues I will give this a try. I really like the idea of using them against skinks and vermin

thanks

Yes however the WE crew does have a character option.. the Death Hag BSB i actaully like to run her in a big block of executioners to give them ASF. Now buff with a COB that could be 21 Str 6 KB opportunties... one reason like i like the DE so much is there is so much we can do... Having said that i...

great point, so let take a qty 10 small unit size 105 pts (only adding muc) but WE (2x5) have base 3 poison attacks you get 20 poison attacks base - down side no save and no ap. Corsairs - same 2x5 formation 15 attacks, no poison, no ap, you of course get a +5 save. starting adding buff from the COB...

Personnally I've started running a Hellborne list with 2x 28 WE Banner/Mus one with murder the other with flame banner 2x COB 1x hag with ASF banner Lvl 4 with shadow either 20 Blk Guard full command and 26 warriors full command or 20 Exe with full command and 20 warriors full command 2x Hydra wards...

This really works - just tried this today and but i also had to charge my Blk Grd got the Mindrazor off in the second round of combat. lost all the Blk Grd but tied up his big unit. Killed his general in a challenge. cleaned up the rest of his army with shooting and a Hydra. eventually work over the...

So I’m a big/huge WE fan as well would not go anywhere without them. So to make them potent against the Lizards. I take shadow and hope that I get mindrazor. there is nothing more potent in this game like a unit of 6 wide WE with two rank at str 8. that is 24 attacks with re-roll to hit - str 8 add ...

So i thought the TK always hit on 5+ no matter what... but i guess it does not matter... i'm thinking i like the crown now Terrorgeist can (and should always) be taken as rare choices. Whats the pros and cons? The obvious pro is you have to kill both rider and gheist to get any VPs, but right now i ...

so what is better being stubbron using the crown or harder to hit using something like the ring of drakness. which then leads to another question does the ring affect the tomb kings archers?

So we have a new enemy the Tomb Kings and one of their capabilities that drives me nuts is the Scorpions and Sepulchral Stalker with the ability to pop up anywhere on the board. Any suggests on how to defend against this?

Also Hydra is now 220 Pt plus it gets a couple of buffs for 20pt you get poisoned chomp attacks and/or 15pts spit - auto hit shooting attacks at strength "how many wounds are left" range 18". haven't read the fine print yet but it looks meh

This came up on the local warhammer board and i thought I'd post the question here as well. **************************** This discussion on the 2 character units, got me wondering about minimum unit widths. Never really thought about it before, but are there actual minimums to the width of the unit?...

So in the section called the "the general" is says that "all friendly units within 12" use his leadership instead of their own". So a basic question comes to mind - does that mean that if my general's leadership is reduce to say a LD 4 due to some spell or other reason. Do a...

I've been update the comp section and trying to make it 8th edition friendly. I've decided to continue to keep some of the 7th edition material available. I'm concentrating in infrastructure material items like Army builder updates, peoples who have created their own spreadsheets. You’ll see that I ...

No worries... I just could not find where someone had posted there was a version 11 FAQs since these changes will affect tactics. tr Thanks for the summary, but theres a discussion already over in general here . unless this is purely for the tactics that might arise from the changes, then i apolagis...

Looks better than the initial one. Each new change is conveniently highlighted in a different color. m -Cauldron of Blood gets Terror, Frenzy, Eternal Hatred and MR back. -Looks like they changed the Ring of Hotek to only work on Wizards trying to cast in 12". Can't find the old FAQ question th...

I recieved by gamers pack pulled out the ruler and calipers and said this looks cool. then like any good engineer I pulled out my tape measure - and the calipers and ruler are off in some cases up to a 1/4 of an inch - WTF. has anyone had the same problem?

Started the update... any links or subjects would be welcomed

Not sure but against lizardmen scar-vet its pretty useless...

So a poorly written rule... ok I can live with that. it was the addition of "hits" that threw me. You would think that... aw what the heck - thanks tr A weapon only wounds automatically if its rules say that is the case - it's best not to 'interpret' what they might say. It's a no armour s...

I was considering taking this weapon but the wording leads one to scratch ones head. “No armor saves may be taken against hits.” So you still need to wound or is this a poorly written rule that I should assume a auto-wound. You hit, then wound so if you hit you wound and no armor saves. Help me obe-...
