About the Other Druchii Spec. Characters
I just wanted to know if anyone has used the additional DE special characters from the GW website. If so how are they? Hellebron looks like an incredible wrecking machine with a potential 6 attacks (5 at S10) and then a manticore on top of that. The extra pts for hags and assassins also looks neat. ...

I don't see why I can't give a fixed value to T and W. Well actually I do I just think its rediculous when you can get a sword of might (+1S) for the same price (almost) whatever army you play. +1S for chaos lord or some puny HE mage costs the same so why shouldn't W or T? I do like your modificatio...

Two assassins in one unit is a large point sink. Not as bad as a dragon but still significant (and costly to the ego). The only time I've ever seen someone do it, it ended badly for him. He went up against a bunch of swormasters and had them both wiped out rather quikly. Not exactly sure how, but st...

Hello. An assassin, in this case, would be revealed at the beginning of the close combat phase. A challenge is issued before the combat is fought. In terms of this timeline, the newly revealed assassin would be able to issue or receive a challenge. If he doesn't callenge you then simply place the as...

I liked the first list better than the second, but see merits in both. The highborn is good in any case, but I would have kept it to deal with the steam tank and to cause general unrest with the VC player. With nothing to hit it, it can run around and make full use of breath weapon and mobility, not...

Like many others I'd like to see more fluff, but first I'd like to see them build a list around the fluff they've got. Malekith without the curse of Aenarion just doesn't make sense. Others include a hydra with WS4. WS in monsters is supposed to simulate how vicious they are. Being masters of beasts...

It is a big bunch of points. Not that it isn't worth them, but still. You'd almost have to put him on a cold one to get a good armour save and that limits its use. I wouldn't use it myself since the last few times my general has been run down and slaughtered without mercy. Not much an extra wound an...

About the Ring of Hotek. A good point has been brought up about the wizard simply moving away. This is also good I should think. It either causes him to leave the unit where the harpies or the beastmaster or someone can get him, or it might cause the unit to move to a less favourable position. It wo...

Thanks for the feedback, makes me feel better. As for the lone RBT, I really hope it will draw the enemy long range fire in the first and/or second round. By that time the DR (and maybe the sorceress) should have gotten the opportunity to take out the opposing war machines. The assassin in the witch...

Hello. I like the beast theme, great stuff. As for the list, I'd prefer to give one of the characcters on wings the ring of hotek. It would provide great magic defense especially with the maneouvreability you have. To cut down on pts, I might also drop 1 DR from each of the 3 units and/or maybe 2 CO...

1) Strengths of your army: As already said, the RBTs are a strength and are useful against almost anything. You also have a good mix of troops. 2) Weaknesses: This will be longer not because of your army but rather due to the fact that I'm pessimistic. The sorceress should have the seal instead of t...

There is really no point in even giving lifetaker to a character that can use an RXB. With such great BS (6) you never need it. Give it to your sorceresses instead. It would be nice if you could fire both though. Death would rain down from the sky (as well it should when faced by an army of death wi...

To be more specific, the charging enemy would only have to take the test if one of their models were to come in contact with the fear causing model. So if you're charging the flank, no test is needed. By the same token, if in a subsequent round of combat the fear causing creature is moved into comba...

I've never been a big fan of the purple myself, but I do use it to highlight some important features in my army, mostly magic users. I use red gore for for the robes and the armour is black. The highlight I give to the armour is gold, so needless to say my army looks very rich. The gold really stand...

Those two types of models are some of the most fun to paint. I like to make both of them more reptilian in colour so they end up green to a certain extent. The COs are done with a dark angels green and then some black ink. The top scales are made black with a green highlight on the edge. The scales ...

Hello. I like how you've gone light on the characters. Since yours are indeed better than his there is no real need, but instead of the second noble I might have gone with an assassin. Both heartseeker and chill blade are nice weapons, a sword of might for one of them might be better to get over arm...

I'd like to set this assassin thing to rest. Assassins displace, I say again, DISPLACE, a normal trooper. This is not replace in any shape or form. They move along with the unit, along not as part of it. You also PLACE the model in the unit. The rules say nothing about taking anohter model out. You ...

Hydras are great. They can just be mounted on a large monster base, but if you have trouble just add a trooper base to take the back foot. Chariot bases are too large. Favorite hydra moment: took the hydra and moved it next to a unit of 30 or so goblin archers, declining a possible charge (does anyo...
