Ironcurse can't be put on Witches since Hags cannot take common magic items and sorcs can't deploy with witches. I'd definitely put a champ in the WE unit. That's 1 more attack and most importantly: The champ can challenge any killy enemies who would otherwise slaughter your Death Hag. Otherwise an ...

Agree on Black lotus for Assassin. Shadow has high casting values for a lvl 2. It's doable but you'll prolly miscast often. On the other hand shadow might be the best choice for an army which focuses so heavy on closecombat. However I do not think you need an ASF-hag in the exec unit. The reason is...

Hi Sepulveda! For a normal BSB I use the standard bearer from Mengil Manhides Manflayers. The other manflayers also look nice as scouts, and the champ (Mengil) makes for a cool assassin . m For a Death Hag BSB I use this model: m The wardancer hero looks nice IMO with a DE color scheme. Cheers! /Ro...

I think you'll do very well against armies with little shooting but you'll be crushed by gunlines. These are the changes I'd do to get the list a bit more effective: * Drop a few BGs and the standards on RxBs to add a unit of harpies. * Exchange focus familiar for Sacrificial Dagger, Tome of Furion...

If you have the model for it I'd exchange one RBT for a chariot. They pack a nice punch in closecombat and often turn the tide in a fight. Since you already have 10 DRs with rxbs, 20 RxBs, hydra, lvl4, RBT and maybe now 3x5 shades I'd say you have enough shooting and a chariot would act in nice syn...

I actually vote Death lore. With no assassins or fighty characters of your own, enemy char's could become a problem. Also the lore bonus of Shadow is that you can swap places of characters after succesful casts. But your army has no other characters to swap with, and thus you would be missing out o...

I see you have 2 sorcs and 2 dreadlords + assasin? IMO that's to many characters to bring vs a gunline. You have to few troops to take a beating from his cannons and shooters. There is not much you can do to prevent yourself from taking casualties when he opens fire. You simply have to make sure yo...

I run a lvl4 with exactly the same items. I always bring her into combat with my spearmen, and challenge with her asap. The PoK means my opponents high-strenght-uber-hitting character is almost taken out of action. (unless champ accept challenge which isn't a big threat to her anyway). That way it'...

About this "DE mounts get hatred???" discussion... 1) Unless otherwise noted, Special rules that apply to the mount do not normally also apply to the rider and vice versa. - BRB pg82 2) FAQ About Eternal Hatred: Ignore the last sentence: "Remember that hatred also applies to mounts a...

The FAQs are updated in german. It will probably only be a matter of time before they release in english. To view them just go to www.warhammer.com and switch language to german. I have tried to translate the new rules for the cauldron (with what I remember of german from school many years ago and a...

After having re-read the FAQ, I think our mounts do get hatred after all, since Eternal Hatred now affects the "modell", not the "Dark Elf". But why then remove the "Remember that hatred also applies to mounts as long as their riders are alive"? It makes no sense to re...

But...no response to if our mounts still get Hatred? HE got their SoA FAQed, why didn't we get our EH FAQed? :S Page 43 - Eternal hatred - Change "[...] dark elves may [...]" to "[...] models with this rule [...]" Ignore the last sentence That last sentence to be ignored reads: ...

Witchbrew does not remove bonuses for outranking. Only for flank/rear attacks and higher ground.

Hello wise druchii generals! I've decided to really start playing WFB more often and I need your vile cunning to strenghten my Dark Elves. So, how would you improve this army with the 130:ish points I have left to distribute? The poll options are based on the additionals models I own, so no extra hy...

Tbh I'm leaning more and more towards ditching the ASF-BSB and only having a cauldron instead (upgraded to BSB). I'd have to make my lvl4 the general then instead of the cauldron hag, but it gives me 170 free points for troops. If I just buy some 5 more exec's then the first two ranks get to strike...

interesting, sounds like a fun battle. Scenarios seem to add some most welcome diversity to the game instead of spamming pitched battles all the time. Btw I'm just in the decision about fielding 2 units of 10 RxB's or 1 unit of 20 RxB's. What made you come to conclusion that 1x20 with FC works bette...

Looks like a good list vs warriors. I'd advice on taking musician on rxb-warriors though, so that you can reform-n-shoot at units which are being annoying

Hmm, I'd actually make the warriors into one unit of 30 instead of 2 units of 15 models. That way they can act as an anvil (stalwarth from many ranks) so that your hitty units can be the hammer. Sacrificial dagger could also be nice to grant extra power dice since the lvl4 + lvl2 need alot of dice t...

So, our fragile Death Hags will be very vulnerable in 8th edition and many people might leave them on the shelf. However, for those of us who still plan to field them becouse they like the model, thinks they are still potent or other personal reasons... How will you equip and field your Death Hags t...
