We have it on French official GW website, I cannot find any equivalent in the English-speaking world.

Hydra: 50*100mm

@Irtehdar You'd need to keep it in combat with at least 38 harpies all the time to lock it down How possibly could you do that, with harpies units limited to 5-10? You would need 4 units of 10, each of them assaulting on one side... and more units waiting to fill the gaps... But would you convince t...

with DR, of you assume they do one wound on the charge they will win through outnumber and muso even if the gyro does 2 wounds. With strong Ld, the gyro should stay another round, when the DR loose hatred and lance bonus. a good smack with a spell or two does the job I forgot about magic. No penalt...

Gyrocopter is a very good machine. T5, 3wounds, 4+save, not that easy to kill. 2 S4 attacks, it can be painful. But my biggest difficulty against it is its agility: it always moves away from charging /shooting angles. And it breathe-toasts the fragile elves with its S3 AP breath. - cannot charge wit...

With Power of Darkness spell, the dagger, your 4 power dice and the 2 common dice, you can be guaranteed (almost) to have 11 dice available each turn if you can cast your 4 spells (PoD not included). Count to spread your dice in the following way: 4D, 3D, 2D and 2D, total=11D. If the spells are too ...

a. Defensive Casters (...) you may want your caster to show her face and try some spells even if all you have is a single level 1. Due to the Druchii Sorcery Rule, the ability of a level 1 to roll three dice even if alone means that you have a at 7.41% chance of getting Irresistible Force. So long ...

So, Khel, did you play your game?

As for casting the spell with how many dice... that depends on your magic offense and your opponent's magic defense. There is no general best way. Sometimes it's better to use just one and hope for a 4+ and sometimes it's better with two dice. When you have the dagger, it's always one dice, though,...

What you can do, however, is take 1000 points of chaos in a separate list and 1000 points of Dark Elves in a separate list and then use both lists together against a 2000points army. ... and only with your opponent prior approval. Officially, you take your army only from a single army book, with fe...

On 2 dice, I consider it a waste as it will most likely go through but you only benefit if you roll a 5 or 6. roll 1 or 2 => get back your 2 dice. Roll 3 or 4, get back the 2 dice plus one more. Roll 5-6, get back the 2 dice plus 2 more. EDIT: Nope, you get D3+1 powerdice I was slightly quicker to ...

Killing power. Harpies have 360° LOS but are quite poor in HtH. The lonely human magician is the target of choice, but you won't see it often. They can also charge and concentrate 3x2 attacks on a single magician hiding inside a babysitting unit, unless they are HE and strike first. Against dwarven...

The new sorceress on CO model is real nice. But... Playing a sorceress on a cold one must be avoided: if the CO gets stupid, you loose the ability to cast, you move forward 3"1/2 and you stay very, very vulnerable. The only time when you can afford that is if you want your sorceress inside a co...

I think we can get another kind of gunline , hide and seek. Combine magic and shooting and mobility , like highsorceress/DP , shades , hydra , assassin with S7 shooting. - The high sorc can go on a dragon, you would get the breath and one more source of terror. - Add a few more sorceresses either o...

Background I'm playing only family/friend games at home. Terrain available .

Dark Elves can get 13 with magic items, and an additional 5-16 (black staff) more from Power of Darkness. Plus pseudo PD from the sac dagger or Powerstones. So mid 20's without too much trouble. Be prepared for the hate though. The magic tsunami (everyone using 2-dice PoD as much as possible - not ...

NOTE: I am not entirely sure if a non-Scouting character can join a scouting unit and then have them deploy as scouts. (...) if the master couldn't join the shades that would put a bit of a hole in this set up. Also, what does everyone else think of the original manhides. Good? Bad? Worthwhile? And...

I was trying yesterday to dowload the rules for Dogs of War. I can do it in French from the French site, but I wanted it in English.

October monthly review. Hi, all druchii fans. Slow progression. This month's review of the D.R.A.I.C.H. is somehow disappointing. I'm afraid that the D.R.A.I.C.H. project has lost its initial momentum. Nine D.R.A.I.C.H. big topics were created initially in addition to the ToC. Five more threads wer...

The new army book is too recent for having many analysis.
I try to maintain what can be roughly related to a temporary hall of fame:
