What you've got is a general common tactic I find in getting rid of a nasty unit. Most often though, its not really worth sacrificing 200 points to buy yourself some time from getting eaten by a monster unit, especially when in the end you're not getting anything back for it. What's normally easier ...

Mobile gun lines work quite well (and don't forget the accompanying magic element - use lots of MMs). RBTs to be used as bait, DR, couple units of RXBmen, will generally be able to take away the support unit after which point you can easily take on the rest. Chariots work quite well as do march bloc...

I find that as long as you have Ld9 you're fine. So, I don't bother worrying about the knights. With the chariots, I tend to do one of 2 things. Get more, or have the general nearby. 3 of them testing on Ld8 gives you a good chance of making at least 2. You group them all together and you'll almost ...

I try not spend much at all these days. I'm much more patient these days to find good deals on eBay and the like to the point where I've barely spent any money in the last year or so on figs. Still likely $100 a year though on various stuff I suppose though.

Your army has 2 very expensive sorcereresses and another character in a very small army. Dropping a l2 sorceress sorceress would enable you to get another 10 crossbowmen. I wouldn't recommend this personally since I find the sorc to be more valuable than another unit against wood elves - chillwind ...

I bounce between death and dark depending on the opponent, though I find I tend to go with death more often. That being said, you can fairly reliably get a 5 casting magic phase (with useful spells) using 2 L2s and dark if you've also got the wand and if you end up rolling up a pair of doombolts and...

With 2 swords, you can attempt to parry two different attacks from 2 different sources (say if you had 2 models attacking you), which is still useful - at least that's how we've been playing. "Okay... this one attack is from the sword, the other two are from the axe"? Pretty much, yeah. Al...

I suppose I've likely used him more than most people, and I think he's worth it. Sure, you have to be careful when you use him and use him appropriately, but if you've got the proper strategy down, then he's practically unbeatable. In fact, I've only had him go down once and that was because the sce...

The first thing I noticed was that Shadowblade could kill his general in turn 1 Not necessarily as he could easily challenge with the champion or could refuse your own challenge, etc, meaning that you could always lose or get bogged down. Point being that its still risky and really, there's no need...

I don't bother to be too WYSIWYG with Mordheim, myself. I just try to be consistent. Henchmen with missile weapons really should have them just because its easy and they're not likely to gather up too much other equipment anyways. Heroes, on the other hand, are more difficult to make WYSIWYG so I ra...

Re: How to Fix High Elves

-archers 10pts Something to keep in mind when giving suggestions is not to make them too outlandish. Decreasing a unit by 2 points per model doesn't solve anything since it just means you can get more of them in an army. That's not to say that the cost shouldn't go down, but you need to compensate ...

I'm not so sure all that equipment or even the highborn is necessary for this kind of task. Also, no matter what, the unit of knights is going to be at +2 combat res (assuming they've bothered with a banner), which means you need to kill 3 of them to win that first round of combat. That's barely pos...

Do the corsairs work particularly well with this set-up or were you just desperate to use some sweet models?

I played in a tournament this weekend and had my army called a gun line because of all the shooting and such, but at the same time, it really isn't a static gun line since it actually quite, well, mobile. I thought about this some more and realised that my 2K list (the tournament was 1.5K) is very s...

Its pretty clear that the strength is reduced to 0. No matter how you cut it, that's the case. The question revolves around the result.
