Though its an idea that fits the army very well, the same brutal fear could be instilled after almost any unit from any army wipes out another unit. Khorne comes to mind. Do you really think that a large unit of chosen knights of khorne is really less scary than a bunch of skelletons? I do like the ...

Oh my! A very serious post! I don't know if I can keep up. I'll try anyway. And welcome btw. I've personally never been a big fan of theme. The theme should really be the race/army that you're playing. Subdividing it into different factions like Khaine centred or raider based really defeats the conc...

Why give both sorceresses the same name? Instead of a scroll, give one the seal of ghrond. The noble doesn't need lifetaker. At BS 6 he can just take an RXB. Don't bother taking either if he's going to be on the move though. Once he's marching he can't fire, so why bother? You have 260 pts of warrio...

Fairness is a two way steeet. Being too nice to others and negelcting yourself is also not fair. Therefore, putting the hydra on the large monster base (what I'll do) is fair to both yourself and your opponent because it is what is expected per the rules. Remember, the model represents a moving thin...

If you want to play just for fun and care more about cost than winning, then your plan is good. Good armies (mostly) have lots of money spent on them (basic economics regarding supply and demand). In a 1K game I'd always include some monster. Mayber a manticore or a hydra. The army you have is so......

Hello. The sorceress is not going to be too effective without a supporting caster. If you don't want to include one, drop her to L1. A BSB in a dark rider unit is a new concept to me. I use DR to break the enemy and not to hold so I wouldn't do it. Definately drop the chillbalde in favour of a sword...

Great stuff. Not to burst your bubble but.. Why take BG if you're playing undead. Stubborn would have little effect since the enemy will likely outnumber your 15 strong BG unit and autobreak them. Black Guard are great. I've never used them myself but have seen and heard good things (like this). Not...

Smily faces are good!
Hello and welcome . Characters looks nice. I'd replace the scrol lwith the seal of ghrond and either get supporting sorceress or bump this one down a level. The common opinions are pretty evenly divided on that one though. The core looks very nice, but the COK look kind of uneven. Might drop one. I ...

I see here an army divided pretty much right in two. Defensive units of a relatively useless 12 RXBmen (maybe for cover fire but still kind of thin), a pair of chariots (slow, unrelaible, and truly defensive) and then some harpies, DR and Ex on the other side. Lord go with Corsairs? If you take bloo...

can you regenerate if you received a killing blow? Not that I know of. Only ward saves may be taken. As for the blood dagon lord, definately use RBTs to either knock him down or his winged nightmare. Should hit on 3+ or better and wound on 3+ and do D3 wounds. Sounds good to me. Skewer the thing an...

I must admit that I was dissapointed with the Malekith model myslef, but mostly because of the way I painted it. Got Malekith with nice green glowing eyes though . As for dragons, Rakarth's dragon was really nice (I have 2 ) and the Wood Elf Dragon is also nice. I'm working on making it a black drag...

I have purple in my army, but its mostly used to outline red and when its surrounded by black it looks really nice. I use the imperial purple and not lich (hate the 'Eavy Metal colour scheme) in a heavier tone when I apply it to spellcsaters. Something about that purple and dark magic that just fits.

I think your diagram is rather annoying, but I can deal with it. It looks like you think there will be some nice hill behind your lines so putting the RXBmen there is good. Though the hydra is nice, a good defensive weapon is the COC. Also note that this is not a great defensive army. Sure, its easy...

Taking a unit of DR is still a good idea even if they are getting slaughtered. They can still dice marauders up pretty good as well as daemons (many anyways) and can force panic tests when the unit is already fighting inthe front. True, a hydra, manticore, highborn and dragon, etc. will be better, b...

That's a nice but of troop selection. I prefer to have something a little more piercing for high S attacks (and no the highborn just isn't enough), but this is nice. Normally I'd also complain about the use of chariots, but seeing as ou can make this work as an aggressively defensive force, things a...

Hello. I've seen this same highborn somewhere else just a minute ago. Popular fellow I must admit. Never liked the mystic shield of light. Just doesn't sound right. That and the fact that we cannot seem to get just a plain 5+ ward. Why? That is quite a number of points spend on characters. I might c...

Its an interesting character selection. The mystic shield of light has always seemed wrong to me so I never use it. Someone needs to take the seal of ghrond though. The BSB is a large point sink so you might want ot re-evaluate him. I've always been more fond of DR with RXBs but its really a persona...
