Assassins Cons: squishy if hit. With no armor save and T3 they can die if they don't kill what they're attacking Assassins make a juicy target as soon as they travel alone. So be cautious with the cloak: flying 20" to kill characters is interesting, but - it is easily dispelled (so it is worth...

I also have got one question, do you have to tell your opponent that you have an assasin? not from the rules. Possibly from a tournament home rules. As a rule, see the cristal ball, arcane object from Empire army book: "The enemy must tell all his "secrets" within range: magic object...

I'm wondering if the mounted lv2 actually needs to be level 2, or if lv1 is enough.

lv1 is only to be a scroll caddy which side role is casting a single spell. If you intend to go heavy on magic, take only levels 2 and 4.

I can't see any good reason to cast PoD with a single dice: - it is much easier to dispell than a 2-die-PoD - you get 50% chance of loosing a dice, when usually you would love to have more die. - when you eventually get more die with your not-dispelled PoD (assuming it is cast by a sorceress level 2...

The third unit of corsair can be made a small shooting unit of corsairs: 105pts with only the muso. There you have the cheap baiting unit to harass the enemy, and fluff-wise it is outstanding. You still can put the assassin and the sorceress in it, as the sorceress is more a scroll caddy and she cou...

... which is a sound tactics: you cast all the spells from the Power of Darkness and from the private die, then at the end of the magic phase you cast the remaining common die with whoever has an uncast low level spell.

You could keep going and use the sac dagger and darkstar cloak for each one, as well as the black staff impact for lvl 3's and lvl 4's. Just did it! I edited my first post. You will see easily what's new: it is below the double-bar separation =============================================== D.R.A.I....

I tried only CoK so far and I don't like them because of stupidity, of course, but also because they cannot survive spells ignoring armor saves: when selecting Lores, my opponents selects armor-ignoring spells (Metal, Shadow, Death) just for the pleasure of removing them in turn 1. I just bought 10 ...

Minimum size is 5.
I want at least 7 for increasing the hitting power facing 5-wide units.
More than that is only for the ability to resist extra wounds.
I just bought 10, hoping it will suffice. I'll field them as soon as they are painted.

It was in the D.R.A.I.C.H. ToC as well.

See thread: Crazy RHB idea? Funny, I have the same journey in WHB: I inherited a starting DE army which I grew a little, I got disappointed by the difficulty to handle them, so I turned to Empire which is pretty much the opposite (warmachines, horde, cheap magic, powder weapons, no monster), and pre...

Impressive! Keep us informed about the results. You ask about what can hurt your army. Reading your thread, I was first thinking about template weapons as well. Also you seem vulnerable to heavy shooting. Another concern would be a tar pit such as flagellants in a big column, something like 3*10 or ...

If THIS is the objective, now I know why I enlisted as a corsair! Wow!

Corsairs love to loot in buildings . So let them plunder at will: A unit of handbow corsairs is 100pts. With their low value and their very short missile range, the opponent will not bother to destroy them, will they? Run them inside a building and forget about them until the end of the game, they ...

I just relayed your questions to my home expert: my son who got the box for his 17th birthday. Im sure we could get back into 40k with these two small armies, maybe expanding them or mayb just keeping it as a small game to play on the side from time to time. The two armies are too small in his opini...

I hope I did this right - I've wrote Calisson a PM ages ago saying I was very keen, got a great response and I never messaged the chap since as his message didnt register in my PM box until yesterday, even though it had been sent weeks ago - what klutz I've been!! If you read this, I'm sorry Caliss...

DDD+DDDD means a spell needing 3 die to cast and a spell needing 4 die. I try to adopt a simple, visual code rather than long sentences. If there is a better idea, I am glad to take it into account. In this thread, I don't mention dispels dice (which have DD as usual abbreviation). So here, DD means...

plastic only.
My son just got his box.

This thread aims at answering the following question: How can I best use PoD to provide the ideal number of power dice (PD) to each of my sorceresses, with the smallest chance to tap the 2 dice from the common pot (C)? Disclaimer: my posts below are based on theoryhammering. I will be considering ot...

Oh, by the way, if ever you feel in the mood of writing a good article on a specific tactics, and you are ready to modify it according to the comments you receive, then do not hesitate to do it and become a D.R.A.I.C.H. author.

Thank you.
