No, a (mounted) master will normally have 2+ armour (2 "points" better save for heavy armour, 1 for scaly skin, 1 for shield, 1 for mounted = 2+ armour save). But still not a very good protection. Could I propose a dreadlord build with cloak, dusk stone, lance and holy icon on a manticore?...

Nice to see 9th games being played! Two mistakes in your game/list I spotted:

1. Tower guards cannot flee from a charge as they are immune to psychology
2. Wizard cannot take midnight cloak as it is now magic armour, not enchanted item (forcing us to take a sorceress on foot)

Happy hunting!

Thanks! But any tips on how to get past the birthday obstacle? I have tried to type August 13th in ten different ways without getting accepted...

I'd like to join DE discussions on the 9th age page, but I struggle to find where I can register. When I try to browse subforums, all I Get is access denied...

As title say, will an assassin with dark venom upgrade and popping the egg have killing blow on the breath weapon?

I think empire witch hunters using ruby ring of ruin have killing blow on their attacks, which could a similar comparisation

Anyone have an overview of how Druchii performed at ETC overall? And which of the druchii lists scored highest (it is a team event, I know, but it still says SOMETHING about what works and not)

@Calisson Reason for taking death on sorceress on foot is because of comp: mounted level 4 death limits warlocks to 5 models (and thus making it difficult to protect her). @Thraundil thanks, being a father is great, but I hope to make to the ETC next year:) good analysis of the peggy characters. I t...

Tired of your whining about identical lists, Dalamar. It is simply not true. Yes, the pegasus builds dominate, because of the comp it is very solid. But you also have dragon lists, aggressive infantry builds with witches + executioners, Cold one bus lists. Heck, you Even have a shade star! Actuallly...

I think black guards really shine with metal magic. They kill most things but high armour save, so plague of rust or simply searing doom is a good solution. And final transmutation is a threat to all armies. What about: Level 4 metal, steed, Dispel scroll, cloak of twilight, obsidian trinket Hag, bs...

What about 2+? Give your life sorceress dragonbane gem, and but the banner of eternal flame on withes. If you take a wound now and then, heal with magic

I am following your progress as I am building a similar DE list. But I dont Get your character set up. They must join the witch elves. You never write about withches backstabbing general/BSB. They are bound to Get hurt every other game, and with two wounds, your BSB is in jeopardy of getting killed....

@Thraundil: Yes. But because of the comp on DE shooting, I also have to add some units of harpies.

Yes, this tactic is used very rarely, and only to protect characters from getting killed. For example if a killy unit come along, and you haven't already shot/redirected it. You dont want to fight other Dark Elves such as witch Elves or executioners, for example, as they murder your characters. Also...

Execs + witchbrew is very good going on an attacking route. But it can also be very good for defensive play. In my current ETC list, I run hag BSB with witchbrew + standard of dicipline together with 35 executioners and level 4 death + level 4 heavens with Arcane items + crown of command, the rest o...

Agree with @Gidean.

@Vietnow what do you mean shroud was up? You must declare charge before magic phase, with the risk you wont Get it through...

I like the idea of placing a cauldron inside a unit of Cold one knights. But how would they rank up? According to the rules, the cauldron must be place centrally in the front rank. But because the cauldron and CoKs have colliding footprints, I assume the cauldron should be placed in the front rank, ...

Hopefully I will find the time to write battle reports, but not in a few weeks yet. Alexander Frenzel from netherlands who I played will hopefully also write a few words, will be interesting to compare our two reports

12-14 CoK with AP-banner slaughters monstrous cavalry, as their high I mean they strike first. Make sure you Get the charge, for example by use of harpies, or use the peggymaster with pendant to tie them up until CoKs Get in there

Hi there, here is a very short recap of my results for team Norway. Sweden, lizards: small negative for me. Playing defensively and hoping for the smallest loss possible. Very good player who also rolls crazy well for spirit leech on one of my hydras. Loss 7-13. France, skaven: a zero match up, beca...

Interesting analyze, Scyloc. Last year dragonlists scored best for DE, and in points better than the death/assassin lists. This year is seems most players - and most from the stongest nations - run double assassins and either 5 null talismans or 3 + cauldron. Did we ever see 5 null talismans last ye...

Some good points here, Dalamar. RBT are definitely situational. However, against warriors demon prince, they are rather good. T5, W4 and only 5+ ward means you have a good chance of killing it with a few boltthrowers, and 4 coulddo wonders. I agree they can not be so useful against pendant heroes an...

pegasus characters. Can they be fielded as a unit? A character (whatever his mount) cannot join a unit of flyers (including another character). But nothing precludes a pagasus joining a unit of non-flyers or even a mixed unit. So the solution, if you really want to have several pegasi in a single u...

Yes, we follow all the rules in the rulebook.

Played 2 training games yesterday, first against chaos dwarves with the list above. Then against ogres with a smal change: 2 x 7 shades with add. wpns + gleaming pennant on the spearmen instead of 3 x 5 shades.

Lost both games with small margin....

You are of course right.

Then I think 18 spearmen with shields and FC with level 1 dark with extra spell + 3 x 5 shades could work well

Any suggestions on other builds?

So, my local club is doing at 500 p mini-tournament. Most races will be present. What kind of DE builds would be good at this small size? I am thinking level 1 with dark and tome for extra spell with 12 x-bowmen, and 18 black guards with muso could work, shooting and magic are important i small game...
