Hi Calisson,

The tournament's comp actually offers a very interesting approach to unit value calculation (i.e. "points").

Hi KillerK, I understand that you are frustrated so far. So was I when I first read the 4 pages of rules However, it's the game we all have loved for years.. so let's give it a chance. The rules leave ample room for interpretation, so maybe we'll discover possibilities for strategy along the way!? I...

Hi there, I'm getting into AoS after I had to take off several months of WHF due to baby-break. Immediatelly, I realized that there were no rules on how to pick an army and how army sizes are agreed upon. In this forum, I stumbled over the approach of counting wounds. I'm not sure that this will be ...

I just realized that there is already a place for this. I apologize. Close plz.

Moderator's reply.
The other thread you had spotted was more about points for units.
In addition, it has been hijacked by nay-sayers.
I'd rather let this thread live on, with discussions about comp system.

Hi! It's been a while since I last posted a list. Indeed, my last tournament I played in january - with Chaos Dwarves. Now I'll return to the battlegrounds once more, in order to lead my elven brethren into battle one last time. And because of that, I'm not going to play one of those typical ETC lis...

Hi there! Once again I have come up with lists to build around very tough restricitions here in Germany. Short summary: Max 3 any choice Max 2: Supreme Sorc and Mounted Lord (Dragon counts as 2) Max 3: Pegasus, each mounted character on Steed or CoK count as 0,5; more than 6 Warlocks counts as 1,5 A...

Top WoC armies usually rely on lots of fast flying stuff with good armour. E.g. Lord on disc + 2 chimeras and lots of chariots. Against those kind of armies our infantry based lists dont do too well and I suggest more characters on pegasus. However if your opponent likes the more traditional infantr...

I like your list and I'm ok with metal if you're comfortable with it. However, I dont understand corsairs. You already have 2 great blocks of combat units.. And witches do a better job than corsairs! Is it because of comp reasons that you use corsairs? Darkshards might prove to be a better solution ...

Hi! I must say I love the manticore. He's fluffy but still furnishes your army with a thunderstomping monster which is flying. On the downside it is rather vulnerable. Therefore I'm not sure if the BSB on a manticore is the right choice. You'll want your bsb with your troups and I'm not sure if this...

Thank you for your reply. The idea of conga is to give minimal frontage to superior combat units. Thus, monstrous units like mournfang or even worse scullcrushers will have 2 models to attack with and it will be near impossible or only if rolled perfectly that they will do more than 10 wounds in one...

Hi! Coming back from a baby break and not having played Dark Elves for a good 10 months I have my eyes on a 2000 points 3 game tournament in two weeks. The comp is horendous, even tougher than is usually the case in German tournaments: Great Horus. It basically minimzes magic (only 3 levels of magic...

I generaly like the list but your magic defense and offense is very weak. 5 warlocks is just not enough as you have only one range and one close combat spell. Unless your planning on IR your opponent will dispell! Also, 5 warlocks are shot down pretty easily despite 4++. i'd sqepueeze in at least a ...

Hi! Sorry if my post wasn't clear enough. I'd use at least two possoble bunker units, better 3. 2 units of 8-10 dark riders + 1 unit of 10 warlocks should be perfect. Then use the appropriate bunker depending on situative context. Your council may jump between bunkers in order to be safe or get in r...

I love the council + CoB and have used it to great effect My 2 cents - your BSB is safer on the pegasus - squeeze in 2 units of dark riders with shields and rxb with size 8-10 - put your council om horses to use warlocks and said dark rider units as bunkers. - use Executiners as horde for maximum hi...

Something needs to be added to the Hand of Glory spell! It can be very deadly if cast on a unit of Waywatchers containing 3 Waystalkers! It makes them hit your casters within units on a 2+/3+ even in hard cover and depending on the situation. This spell spells death for elven casters. It's even very...

Switch 2nd Cauldron for something to fight with.

What has been neglected so far is that this Errata makes it a lot easier for beginners to play competitively and in tournaments! And I think that's one of the main reasons for GW to do these changes! Hordes and WM have benefited too long from being playable with few models. You now can play with 25%...

Regensburg. I actually disagree about the banishment. If dispelled, there are usually 2-3 signatures and the timewarp + Doombolt.. So lots of choices. Also, the bbanishment pairs nicely with the bolt. Moreover, the redirection with level 1s should not be discounted. It usually is quite a suprise and...

I understand that you want to buff Strenght with PoD. But consider this: you'll rarely get both PoDs off. And S5 AP doesn't cut through armour or wound relyably enough. The Ogre Blade will render him with base S6.. if you get a PoD off, S7 is even better.

Thanks! Well, at 2500 everything except Pegmasters is at a bare minimum. Nearly no Equipment for the Council, very small units, no real breaker.

The additional 1k bring the much needed close combat punch! So I think at 2500 this list needs much more skills than at 3500.

Hi! In three weeks I'll attend a 2Day event using an updated version of Combat 8.0. I'll give you some insights in some of the most important restrictions for us Druchii: Max. 3 each choice max 4 PD/spell max 2 PD generated --> Warlocks counts as 1, 1st and 3rd level of lore of death count as 1 Pool...

Seems good to me. I presume pegmasters would put you out of comp score? One option might be droping the Shardes for a Hydra with flaming breath. I think Witches + DR should be enough for core and you're not going for heavy shooting anyways. As for the sorceres, does putting her on a mount mess with ...
