You know you can get a cream that'll clear that right up. :lol:

Now on the something more serious. Get some more warriors to complete the unit, you'll want at least 20. I would probably increase the RXB unit to around 10 as well. Get at least one more RBT because 2 count as one rare choice. You could use some Dark Riders and some COKs but Iw oudl suggest going for what you want to use the most.

I agree that u should fill out your units that u allready have first. and 10 is a good number
for Xbowmen. But after that I would go straight for Dark Riders. They r the most useful
unit we have, especialy in the low point engagements u'll be having for a while. That 100
pts on a RBT will not come in as handy as 5 DR. It may seem like u r wasting your rare choice
but rares are allways expensive and usualy not worth it in smaller battles.

Just my oppion.

I'll get it for you...


Anyway get some corsairs, that and DR are the best unit I've bought for 1k games. You've got a nice hard hitting hydra, if you want to get started right away thats what I'd do.

But of course in the long run the other RBT is a must.

Another box of Warriors to complete two units (20 spears, 12 RXB) would be good.

Then you should think about 5 Dark Riders (including 1 command for the Musician), a box of 4 Cold One Knights and a blister of COK command (for full command), and another RBT, as well as either some Shades (2 blisters) or Harpies (3 blisters).

You won't get all that for $20-40, of course, but eventually - with all that - you should be able to build a nice army, probably 1500+ points worth.

My views

I would recommend getting some more core troops as you already have two rare choices. I would say it's best to get a box of dark elf warriors to expand your units of spearmen and RXBmen then some dark riders including the all important musician.
