Unfortunately, the city garrison list, if I remember correctly, will allow only a single sorceress of no higher than level 2. True, but she does have three attacks. If you are looking for a 1500pt magic list you may as well just bang Morathi in and make a 2k list. She is the bomb when it comes to d...

Best way I have found, as a man who has a snow based Druchii army is to mix Baking Soda with water and PVA. Its damned cheap, the texture is ace and it just loooks fab. For sxtra goodness paint the area beneath the snow white and apply multiple thick layers. The problem with the GW snow is its a com...

I remember writing a rather long article on why dark riders are crapola, admitidly I came to some wrong conclusions, but I remain adamant that Dark Riders are weak. But that was a slightly different idea. They are poor in combat and high in cost and easy to kill. I want silverhelms. Whats the best f...

Ant: Good to see you buddy. I know what you are saying. It was a problem you had, and one I am quite aware of. It is small, and if the enemy has enough magic or shooting they can really whittle it down till it doesn't show up on the table. But when you have a 1000pts in characters and are playing wi...

The BSB is an interesting little character. He divides opinion too, when and if discussion about him pops up. The thing is that because most druchii armies do not fight a straightforward bash it out in lines type of battle, and frequently only use infantry to limited roles the need for the BSB re-ro...

First thing to be said is why 12 warriors? they can't claim two ranks and they can't kill anything. So why the investment in the two extra models for each of the three units?

Amarel: With your Combo you would have had a 6+ save and 4+ Ward as opposed to just a 4+ Save, which isn't a big deal, but would have been wounding on 3s not 2s which does make a difference. Which statistically means you are going to take 3 rounds on average to kill the big tree, where as the gauntl...

Does that give me any form of golden star or bonus point?
I reckon it does.

But see, thats what I mean. I completely forgot about the usefulness of magic attacks too. It sure helps against woodies, and with so many woodies around taking magic attacks is a seriously wise idea.

Ras does something VERY different with Vampires!! (2250pts)

Hi all! So, following on from some cross-site snooping I discovered a woody army comprised solely of Eternal guard. It was meant to be a massive Phalanx thingy. And I really liked it. And it got me thinking about massive units. I made a few lists. Made a Druchii one that was quite good, but then I s...

Albion is based on England to some extent, but so is Ulthuan - originally. The whole elf thing is a bit British Empirey and very much ties in with the two Warhammer inventor's own patriotism.
