I have to agree with Linda on her points, I have found that WS and I is actually quite useful against a front line of enemy that cannot fight in ranks. I usually manage to kill at least 1 or 2 enemy before he gets to hit back. Then if the DE WS is higher I benefit again. It works out, you should tr...

Personally, I find that for the same points a Knights is far superior to a unit of executioners, more speed, more armour, more attacks, fear.... overall a better deal. The downside ofcourse being stupidity, but I can live with that. Fallen Angel Yes but not quite the same cost for 10 execs, unless ...

Yes it does, as you will not always break a unit on the charge. Witch Elves still keep up a good fight, when they do not break the enemy. Executioners just die in that case.

As my name implies, I'm a big fan of them too. When you are building an army around them consider taking an assassin inside the unit (large block of 20+) and screening them with harpies and terrain. Dark riders and shades help them quite a bit too. How can you resist the models? A sorceress you can...

They are great for flank attacks, always taken them in units of 10. When they are a unit of 20 my opponents targets them with artillery or missile fire. I guess they look scary, or perhaps they know the exec's weak save. Remember against serious artillery, everything dies, no matter what armour they...

Like every unit they have their place. I use them against T3 troops where they function quite nicely.

For example against goblins I have killed more then 30 with 10 rxb before they moved close enough for an attack.

There are some armies they are no good against, obviously. Know your enemy.

I get your point, Baron. Some armies like the Chaos I can stand because they have certain weaknesses, and at least I can usually outnumber them. I don't know, when I see a Steamtank I get nervous.

Sorcerors are an example of a character that doesn't fight well in HtH, but has other obvious uses. I don't necessarily think that the BM not actually getting into HtH is not classed as fighting, he fights, as I said, using the animals as his weapons and armour. I like the idea of a magic whip.

While I agree with druchii being made better and more detailed, slaves for some reason do not make sense to me. The druchii are supposed to be a fast overland raiding army.
