Could you develop how you got anihilated? Which opponent? By missile? Magic? HtH?

Any news?
Darluith has started efficiently his thread about magic.
But what about the rest of you?
Cheers

I don't know if I will ever play actually him, but I just bought one shadowblade model so that my usual playing partners know that I have got one. The main difference with the normal assassin is his ability to begin inside an enemy's unit: it kills one of the models (he replaces it) and immediately ...

Crossbowmen do the same job, for the same price, but a lot better. Not necessarily. Missile protection is better for corsairs, even if you buy shields for MXB. That makes corsairs a better babysitting unit for a sorceress, unless you want to stay static at long range and want to backup your spells ...

I honestly think their biggest disadvantage is their movement of 7... I wish they could move 8, that extra inch would give them the edge against most other heavy cav. That is a real problem when I am facing Bretonians and my CoK receive the charge, same with HE. My tactical skills are not sufficien...

CORE: I love the look of my new rhb corsairs . I don't know yet if they will fulfill their promises for funny taunting, move and shoot at 360° unit. Otherwise, I hesitate between DR (with and without mxb) and harpies but probably mxb DR are the most useful. SPECIAL: Chariot is the most beautiful. I ...

Yes I do.
However, I suggest we did it at the end of the relevant section, i.e. common weapons at the end of DE weapons, common arcane at the end of DE arcane...

Don't you count the lifetaker among the shooty units? It could be used by a sorc (although I'd rather give her some arcane items), or by a master on chariot, killing time (and opponents) until the chariot gets in charge range. Another shooty role is the Master with 2 rhb on a steed or a peggy. Good ...

Proud to serve in the French Navy! Another two hostages freed by the French Navy seals, six pirates captured, one killed. Participation of the (German) maritime patrol, possibly of the Malaysian Navy (hospital ship support, as far as I read) and the French Air Force for a lift of the paratroopers cl...

Did you have a look to these similar lists?
Full cavalry........................How to make an all cavalry list work...
........................................2250 Dark Elf Cavalry List. Will it hammer?
........................................The Kheitai Cavaliers 2250 (Cold Ones Knights)

Many similarities with the lists I am building.
What are your main opponents?

With 30 or 45 shades, you could well have both the sorceress and the ring of Hotek in the same unit, and 12" apart!

Good idea, very original, I haven't seen it anywhere previously.
Thank you for it.

September monthly review. Dear reader, 1. Where are we? This month, I wanted to learn from you reader in which way could the D.R.A.I.C.H. evolve best for your needs. I tried with a poll [Poll] Do you like the D.R.A.I.C.H.? How'd you like it to evolve? , that met limited success (less than 200 views...

I charged with my lone assassin in a block of 25 orcs (total) where I could be in base contact with only the Shaman and a normal orc. You are supposed to put the highest number of models in contact for HtH when you charge. Normally, that makes 3 models for a single charging one, unless very specifi...

something to remember is unless it's a big dragon, you can't negate ranks with a flank charge. Your general has to be at least unit strength 5. So while he's mobile, he's not as effective as a whole unit unless you're on something like a dragon that will boost your unit strength past 5. On a chario...

See
D.R.A.I.C.H Magic Phase Tactica
and give it a try.
Please send a comment after experimenting it.

even if some one-character combo are gone, there is still plenty of combinations of character+units or character+other character to consider.

Hi all responsible people, and, again, welcome in the debate. I see your frustration as a proof of your interest in the quality of the final product. Let me try to explain what I intend to be achieved with the D.R.A.I.C.H., and the strategy that I hope could lead to the desired end-state . The final...

Chariots became 1 per slot - but don't count if taken as mount for master.
Assassins do not take a hero slot anymore, except shadowblade.

I see a few minor reasons to field a master (BSB or not) on foot: - fluff - owning a nice model on foot - lacking the points to pay for a steed - in case the master was initially on chariot/manti but his mount was destroyed - use of a weapon only for footed characters - need to have a 360° line of s...

YES! More comments and suggestions! Thank you! the content could be of higher quality True. It is like Wikipedia: everybody is welcome to improve the content. If you’re unsatisfied, feel free to contribute and everyone will benefit from it. I am looking forward to read some of your D.R.A.I.C.H. arti...

it is quite clear to me that this post is close too heresy and some of the people more envolved in the D.R.A.I.C.H. will jump on this topic :-) Sure it is not heresy to state your opinion, especially in such a polite and proactive way! All the people involved in the project are probably open for di...

Let's talk about dwarfs They have a good natural resistance to magic (4 DD instead of 2) that they can easily boost with runes and runelords. However, druchii heavy magic can break through it. We have metal magic that is a great pain to them: two spells that work best against heavy armors, one cann...
