I liked the idea of a bigger shade unit, but the points cost is ridiculous for T3 no save wounds, and I have never ever been a fan of death stars or even characters in units, my characters tend to follow and auxiliary role in what ever army I play. Not too many eggs in one basket is my thing. Rather have lots of baskets.
So heres the list:
Code: Select all
+++ Druchii Dragon Mage List +++
+ Lords + (615pts)
* Supreme Sorceress (615pts)
Black Dragon, Level 4 (Dark)
DE - Pendant of Khaeleth
+ Heroes + (453pts)
* Master (177pts)
Dark Pegasus, Heavy Armor, Lance, Sea Dragon Cloak
Black Dragon Egg, Charmed Shield
* Master (139pts)

* Sorceress (137pts)

* 5 Dark Riders Unit (117pts)

* 5 Harpies Unit (55pts)
+ Special + (402pts)
* Cold One Chariot (100pts)
* 5 Cold One Knight Unit (159pts)
Musician, Standard Bearer
* 5 Cold One Knight Unit (143pts)
Musician
+ Rare + (350pts)
* War Hydra (XXXpts)
* War Hydra (XXXpts)
Total: (2476pts)
So I have 24pts to play with, which is nice, I guess.
I've not taken reapers, because well, at 30pts more than HE ones, I don't see the point. If they were cheaper I'd work two in, for sure. I'm already paying through the nose for my caster and dragon compared to a High elf one, I don't want to just piss points away.
I should think the battle plan is fairly obvious. The army has three main points:
1) Corsairs + Chariots
2) COK units + BSB
3) The away Team (Dragon + Master)
I then have the hydras which can be used to support either team one or two. The DR + Harpies can flit between all the other units doing there thing. The BSB works with the two COK units, whilst the lvl1 joins one DR unit, and that unit tried to stay away from trouble. She can't go on foot, because the corsairs would be an awful place to put her, and theres no other infantry.
Magic should be quite strong, and I've got a small amount of shoot + 3(4) Breath weapons to use. I see the army as an elite MSU list, rather durable (for elves) and with plenty of output. Supporting charges are the name of the game.
Very open to all thoughts and suggestions
