Re: How do you deal with the Slaanesh lore

I bring two units of Doomfire Warlocks & two Sorceresses for plenty of magical goodness. The Death Sorceress carries Sivjar's Hex Scroll - a nasty combination that has netted me three Demon Princes (a couple of Vampires, and a Slann) so far. Step 1 - turn wizard into a Frog with Leadership 1. S...

Re: Who's playing proper MSU?

I wrote a piece along time a go about why fleeing isn't all that. I stand by it. Fast cav are good at fleeing, but that's it. Too many dice. Much better the certainty of death. My main army these days is beastmen. I have more chaff than this army. I almost never flee a charge. Too much panic, chance...

Re: Who's playing proper MSU?

I can see why MSU isn't as popular as it used to be. Step up attacks and not getting half points for units are the main reasons in my mind. But I think it must be viable. Although I can concede that it may be dependent on running multiple masters to get the punch and resilience. I'm looking at testi...

Re: The School of the Arcane - Know your enemy

This is a really good thread. Nice work Dalamar! You're a champion! Can I suggest an addition to hysterical frenzy: Savvy chaos players will use Hysterical frenzy to control the movement phase, in a way that initially seems innocent. The thing to remember is Frenzied units cannot declare a flee reac...

Re: How do you deal with the Slaanesh lore

I think the strength of the lore is not choir bombing. Even on 6 dice its not a dead cert. Sure it can win you games, but if it fails it can tip you real close to losing them. The real problem is when the slaaneshi player splits his dice between the two random movement spells, so that its impossible...

Re: Black Amulet : An idea so daft it has to work.

Lot of loving for PoD here. But you could just go beasts and then cast wild form. Means you can keep the sorceress out of the unit. But if you wanted to leave her in the unit with the BA then she'd benefit from the other beasts spells too. Savage beasts, transformation, pelt. All would work better t...

Re: Damned restrictions in Germany for Dark Elves in Tournam

I like comp. these restrictions aren't bad. They stop you going overboard. If comp makes you change your list that's not a bad thing. As to the comp, They don't limit the number of masters, which I think is probably the one thing DE comp probably needs to do. My go to comp for DE would be something ...

Re: US Masters List discussion

They went (most, I think one list skipped it) for a warlock bus which I think is a faulty approach for an all comers as a single gunline can spoil your tournament. My reapers would love to face a unit where its entire rank is composed of characters with no ward saves! This forum surprises me that t...

Re: Fast Cav List of Doom!

I know you say your playing it for fun and don't think it's that competative. But I would say it's maybe the strongest list (with death or beasts, not light). It's meta changing. Very hard to get points from, safe from death magic. Very fast. Very very fast. Full on punch. Very dangerous magic. I pe...

This is a great thread. Thanks to everyone for sharing and for their write ups. A great read. I feel like this fast cav bus type list is going to rapidly become the IT list. It's very strong. Offering a powerhouse unit with far more flexibility than most Death Stars. Being able to split the characte...

Re: Ras's return to the Druchii.... trying to be nasty!

Welcome back Ras! I like your list, but if you explicitly want to be nasty I'm afraid you can't have the Sorceress riding a dragon. Even though I agree with your sentiment that a unit should be able to perform multiple roles, the combination of Sorceress and Dragon actually means they will perform ...

Re: Ras's return to the Druchii.... trying to be nasty!

Beasts is definitely one of the options up there. But I also really like the idea of shadow. Whilst I agree datalink that the Sorceress is fragile, and not a big fan of combat, she is also expensive and a a disaster if your magic gets shut down, or she forgets her spells, or miscasts and dies. I'm a...

Keep in mind, putting sorceress in the unit will make them no longer Fast Cavalry Part of me hopes that darksteeds will get the fast cav rule seeing as they can't take barding.

She will also have a 4+ ward and some magic resistance. the MR boosts the units save and makes them q...

I don't mean to go on. But I'd say its rude not to cite your sources or name the person who you quote. One might think you were trying to appear the hero of the hour if one hadn't already seen the material in its original context.
