Ok, cheers Ash - glad to hear the mini bat reps and battle sinopsis will still keep comming. Apparently Pegasus knights have 2 wounds, a lance, a 3+ save and the option for full command. Which makes them just that little bit deadly. They worry me alot as well. Aso, being skirmishers we are at -1 to ...

Hiya Hinzunzi, its RasputinII here (From Rezephua). Go for malus, the best master would look crap. The cloak would be easy to sculpt if you a good sculpter, but most aren't so I suggest just you go mail order it again, it is nice and thin after all. As for the claw Personally I think that the Archao...

Ash, I have been reading this thread for a long while, since you started it infact, and do you to a screwy computer have not replied. I must say that this thread could be published in a WD. its very fun to read, perhaps more so then thelure of the god article in the UK WD, especially the last bit wh...

I was thinking how, apart from COKs, we lack units with a decent armour save. So this got me thinking. I got on to the idea of Corsairs, and started to invisage them as Vikings for some reason. I began to see them boarding another ship, but instead of a 2nd hand wepaon I could see them using sheilds...

What colours should I use for the ink, basecoat, highlight and shading should I use to make some good looking orange robes?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

So basically, you think that more magic items for the HB and a RBT instead of the black guard is a good idea.

Well I think if DE vets want to try my humble list then it must be good I will give it a try, And if I feel i need the BG then Im sure I can ind some space for them.

Igor: That is a clever idea, does it actually work at all at all?

I lik how he has painted the body of the manticore, but the wings look odd as does what thing that the beast master is holding.

No, I am having to buy all the models due to the fact I left my original DE army on the train. So it might be a while. But I appreciate you very positive view - alot. My problem with the new list is the loss of the BG. I have a feeling that they could be very useful and I would rather not right them...

Thank you every one.

I will try all your ideas out. That way I will know which is the shinniest. Thanks you again.

How do I go about painting really really glossey or shinny black armour. So far I have tried chaos black with a few coats of gloss varnish. It looks shiny, but not shinny enough, well not really shinny enough. I need just a bit more shine from my black

If you can help me, please do.

Would this list work better do you think? Basically I have dropped one Sorceress and the black guard, re-equiped my noble, put in a second RBT and a HB. Do you think this list will work better or worse? Characters -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dark ...

Well give your self a pat of the back. That is one awsome conversion. Did you use the non metalic metal sceme on the sword?

My old HB was on a rearing up cold one, he was cOK command legs with malus dark blades claok and executioner 4 for the torso, head and weapon. After a bit of conversion I had one sweet looking HB with a great weapon.

I have always had this image about a high born on Dark steed. My idea looks much like archaos horse with the witch king from return of the king in proper armour on it. I particularly like how huge Archaons steed is, its one mother of a horse. The spikes pertruding through the skin also feel very dar...

Its seems like the making of a good list, and like others have said you wont really know untill you get playtesting. Although I must ask where does the highborn go, and in which unit does the assassin go?

Lastly, you might find harpies a big use in this army.

Does one not have to specialise if they are to have a disinct theme? For example the afor mentioned beast idea. Well that is quite a specialised list but due to the theme above the tactical supremacy of one type of army over another. And I am a big fan of themed list. They have a chaarcter about the...

It cetainly could be an interesting idea. I will have a ponder about it.

Thats kool, but do you think (using your expereince) that having infantry would work with ths style of army? Although It would be slower you would have more units.

Do you like the army though? I mean the style of army? I guess it works fairly well. Would it work with a infantry core (A few units of DR - but units like EXEs and corsairs and stuff like that). Have you tried this sort of thing? I'm sorry if this sounds like the spanish Inquisiton. I don't mean it...

I can't decided wether to do a 2 manticore army with a HS on manticore as well as a beast master on Manticore or whether to go for a MSU/E list. Could you combine both? Having two manticores, but having a MSU/E list for the rest of it? - although you would only have a bout 1000 (out of a 2k army) to...

Personally I think it is a sound tactic to put a noble in a unit of DR. Provided you have more then one unit of Dr though, just incase he neads to swap units during the game. It is also quite useful for luring firpower, if you want other things to survive.

@Maraith Tuerl: I can't decided wether to do a 2 manticore army, based on what I have above, with some changes, or whether to go for a MSU/E list (which I have posted on this board). I was wondering, could you combine both? Having two manticores, but having a MSU/E list? Also, I was wondering if you...

Perhaps, but that give same just 4 dispel dice, and no chance of ever getting any spells off.

Perhaps another flying beast master. Hmmmmm They are cheaper then a sorceress, although two might be exesive. Where would you recormend that I put the second noble? In which unit?

They are great, and rember you can use them on single shot, which I have done a few times due to the multiple shot giving -1 which combines with a few other modifiers can put you on 7+, so I changed to single shot. Its not very useful, but sometimes it is.

Cheers guys. This is why I love this site. People actaually care about others. Which is something you don't see on the GW boards. That is what I was thinking though, I plan to test the army to death and see how it performs. As for the Witch Elves, I dislike frenzied troop, sorry I mean hate them. I...
