I understand that you intend to present all 20 shooting DR in a single line, then reform if needed. Note that even a fast cav unit is cumbersome to move around when 20 strong (24 including heroes). Fortunately, it can reform and move and shoot. However, with mxb fast cav , I notice that: - you canno...

The best is to give a try. CoB does not fit the guerilla theme and is desperately slow (no double march). BSB - could be rewarding in the 20 DR unit!. With BSB, I believe your 3rd list should be the closest to the theme, and should be playable as well. Very, very quick, with 3 strong melee units. Th...

Thanks for the report! The problem of getting magic-heavy is that some armies have strong anti-magic. I know well Dwarves and High Elves who are very good for that (and RoH Druchii!). In order to overcome their natural magic resistance, you need to litterally submerge them with magic (I call that th...

Banner of Nagarythe: 3/10. although interesting, it is waaaaaay too expensive for me to consider it ever. Hydra Banner: 10/10. I just tried it inside a unit of 7 CoK (plus BSB). It made 16 more attacks, all attacks with hatred (including mounts), all S4 or S6 with lance's +2 charging strenght. Poor ...

Both lists look interesting, especially fluff-wise. They are obviously designed for a high maneuvrability. Both list can work only with a really heavy cover, lots of forests in order to hide your many shades and let your hydra advance. An alternative is to shelter your shades inside buildings, they'...

Interesting thread. Interesting concept. As Dalamar mentions, victory is far from granted if the opponent crates a list specifically designed to counter it. But against an all-around oopponent, it should provide him a headache. I suggest letting Agelmar give a real try to the concept instead of disc...

November monthly review. Hi. D.R.A.I.C.H. needs you. For most of the D.R.A.I.C.H., nothing has been written this month. It is unfortunate, as there is a lot of material available for would-be authors, either from stalled threads or from the many threads I am still collecting. Of course, painting an...

True! At least it is my interpretation as well. Thank you. But, in the other interpretation, the whip was loosing its "magical" status, didn't it? Therefore, it did not count anymore against this limitation either. Therefore, you would be able to combine. Again, I do not defend this interp...

CoB + DR & sh is a great idea. Why do you say "loss of fire"? Of course, it would be very strange to mix up the shield (useful in melee, especially along with the rank bonus benefits) with mxb (loosing the march and shoot and more difficult to orientate). But "naked" DR are a...

Having neither DR nor harpies would be very strange, nearly un-druchii.
I doubt there is any such list in the "Army List" forum since 7th ed AB was released.
Definitely get either or both.

Whip of Agony IS A BEASTMASTER'S SCOURGE!!! a beastmasters scourge CAN be combined with another mundane weapon. Therefore, it can be combined with a mundane weapon, end of story. - I would apreciate an FAQ on that topic. - Unless FAQ'ed, RAW abides. Unfortunately, it is subject to interpretation wh...

See D.R.A.I.C.H. Best use of Power of Darkness for getting 13 powerdice in average each turn with your 3 sorc.
It should help greatly to overcome the magic resistance of your opponents.


Then Game-Winning Magic in 7th Edition Warhammer for a broader approach of effective magic.

Instead of having the corsairs "count as" spearmen or CO "count as" DS, wouldn't it be better to mix up things a little bit? As long as the front row consists in real spearmen, the other rows could be whatever infantry you have (even not Dark Elves), that would not alter much the...

Well, that's what D.R.A.I.C.H. is for. Check on top of the tactics forum. The beauty of Dark Elves is that they are very balanced, offering game-playable units for mass combats, elite combats, monsters, mobility, shooting, magic. On the weak side, we have little or none of the following: warmachines...

Interesting battle reports.

missing all the usual suspects such as ASF BG, assasins, dragons, double hydrae, harpy spam etc etc, but i still feel it can do well

Indeed!

As a general rule, when a GW model is sold with a base, the base is legal, and remains so even if a new model with a different base is replacing the old one. For a complete reference about model sizes, see below, from an official GW website (unfortunately for many D.net readers, it is written in Fre...

First of all, thank you guys for reminding me long forgotten basis of stats. [quote simplified] using the following abbreviation: H : Chance to hit (including hatred effect); W : Chance to wound (including poison effect); F : Ward/Armour Save/Regeneration failed p = H*W*F : probability of Causing a ...

Currently, I have: 1 old commander + 2 sorceress on foot 1 old hydra 8 of the old cold ones 60 new warriors Old Black Guards, old witches, old harpies, old bolt throwers 1 old Cauldron of Blood 3 Darkriders + 3 horses HEROES Sorceress are as useful as ever. With 2 lev 2, you already get a very dece...

Done!
Thank you for telling me by PM.

Sure!
The % is an indication for the reader, not a jugement on the author.
Usually I try to guess, from what I can read, what is the completion, but if the author can provide it, it is much better.

Just let me know what you would like to read.

And many thanks for your efforts, of course.

can you really breathe fire on/into buildings? => yes, nothing prevents it . what are the rules for that on what page? => among the specific rules for buildings, at the end of the rulebook me and my friend are using buildings more and more and this would greatly benefit my DE army against his HE ar...

There is no rule to destroy buildings (we're not playing WH40k). The trick with buildings (which I play every game) is template weapons. We don't have warmachines as druchii, but we sure have breath weapons. One dragon, one dragon egg, two hydraes. Set up a forest so that all beasts can hide at 19&q...

Not necessarily. Not all FAQ have been included in the 7th edition rulebook, were they? And if it was not relevant anymore under 7th edition, it would have been removed from the website, wouldn't it?
