Do I even have to say "cheese" :D

however it would be cool to look at your opponents face when you say:
"And now I fire multiple S4 shots with -2 AS on your Dragon princes that hits on a 4+"
And picks up 48 Dice :twisted:

Damnit I only have 5 RBT's I gotta get some more when the annual arrives :D

Just a small thing....

How frightened would you be if your opponent fielded 5 units of 4 chaos knights in a 2k battle (remember that that ain't even 800points as 8 RBT is).

the only small difference is that the Chaos are legal and core.....
However they would get slaughtered against the RBT :twisted:

This is a City Guard list! It'll be in the Annual 2003. Reaper Bolt Throwers are 2:1 Special choices there!

Sigh, if only those 8 reapers didn't come at the cost of no Dark Riders or Chariots...

Oh, and at being incredibly boring. I almost forgot.

RBTs are like banks. I have to use them. I don't have to like them, and I think people are entirely too dependent upon them.

Hmmmm...two cold ones in a chariot drawn by dark elves. That's never a good sign...

I'm very sorry if my post above seemed a little ill-tempered.

It's largely because I've always found RBTs to be worth their points and no more. Maybe because most of the armies I've faced have been heavy on tough core infantry and light on elite cavalry.

Get the Annual 2003, when it is available and you'll find out! ;)

It's something like an Appendix list for the Dark Elves.
