Har Ganeth Executioners Synergies & Tactics 8th/9th edition
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2015 11:47 am
Hi,
New dark elf player,
Just had a 8th edition Battle against dwarves, my 15x Executioners with dreadlord performed rather lackluster and were barely able to defeat 10 miners and 10 handgunners (they were 3 left With the dreadlord). Though to be honest I did forget about eternal hatred and murderous prowess which could potentially have made a big difference. (used to playing Empire so all these DE special rules went over my head lol)
That aside I just bought 20 more executioners on Ebay because the price was so good and the models are so great (my current executioners are dreadspears with polearm Conversion Proxy) and I'm wondering if there are any good synergies for Executioners with any Magic or other units? How do you use them? Is it worth going horde? is it best to have them MSU or in bigger Groups?
Thanks.

Executioners are considered the bread and butter troop of the Dark Elf infantry. They come fairly cheap, making them popular for both small support units as well as large infantry blocks. They need little support to be effective, but don't make too bad a host for a combat character or shrine.
