8th DE Balanced List
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2018 1:16 pm
Hi everyone,
I play warhammer fantasy 8th for several years with the models of a friend of mine.
Now I have decided to build an army and I have chosen the dark elves (never played before). I studied the book a lot and sketched a list.
I was very inspired by the lists published on this link: 2014 ETC DE lists - opinions/analysis. {Buses, NETHERLANDS: Alexander Frenzel}
LORDS (315)
Supreme Sorceress (315) : 4 lvl , Ring of Hotek , Dispel Scroll , Dark Steed
HEROES (451)
Master - General (142) : Great weapon , Sea Dragon Cloak , Armour of Destiny , Cold One
Master - BSB (121) : BSB , Great weapon , Sea Dragon Cloak , Heavy Armour , Cold One
Master - Dark Pegasus (188) : Lance , Sea Dragon Cloak , Heavy Armour , Shield , Cloak of Twilight , Dark Pegasus
CORE (570)
10 Dark Riders (220) : Shields , Repeater Crossbows , Musician , Standard Bearer
5 Dark Riders (110) : Shields , Repeater Crossbows , Musician
20 Witch Elves (240) : Musician , Standard Bearer
SPECIAL (410)
8 Cold One Knights (270) : Full Command [Master - General and Master - BSB Here]
2 Repeater Bolt Thrower (140)
RARE (250)
5 Doomfire Warlocks (125) [Supreme Sorceress Here]
5 Doomfire Warlocks (125)
TOTAL (1996)
**TACTICS**
Supreme Sorceress : Magic threat and defence. I'm undecided between Death, Life, Shadow and Dark, any suggestions?
Master - General : More damage and I don't like a general wizard
Master - BSB : A must-have
Master - Dark Pegasus : War Machine-chaff counter
10 Dark Riders : Combat block, ranged threat
5 Dark Riders : Chaff, ranged threat
20 Witch Elves : Combat block , horde-monster counter
8 Cold One Knights : Combat block , armor counter
2 Repeater Bolt Thrower : Ranged threat , armor-monster-chaff counter
5 Doomfire Warlocks (Supreme Sorceress Here) : Bunker
5 Doomfire Warlocks : Chaff , magic threat
I find the list fairly balanced, but I have never played dark elves, so I would like to listen to your advice before buying the models.
would you make any changes? Does this list have any weaknesses?
Thanks in advance
