Blondshade, if you want to read some fluff about really badass DE, I would highly recommend the Malus Darkblade novels. It's pretty much six novels of watching the guy take out armies by himself. Anyway, the reason that DE are portrayed as getting their asses kicked all the time is because the major...

As a whole, I like the article. The only comment, I had was concerning the wizarding hat. I am by no means advocating the use of this item, and I understand the reasoning behind your comments. However, I think that saying it's completely worthless, may be a bit too harsh. With 8th edition magic, the...

Welcome to druchii.net, Zanthorn Mist Walker! I too have been known to make forays into the forest.(my second army is wood elves) Since you are going with the samurai theme, I would highly suggest dropping one unit of ninjas, dropping 5 RXBs off of a random unit and taking the ninja master to lead y...

The list seems to be looking pretty good. I would, however, recommend a few tweaks: If you like the COB BSB, I would highly recommend switching out your death hag for her. Your current death hag can essentially be killed by rank and file soldiers, since they can direct all their supporting attacks i...

Put shields on the 16 RXBs, since you're going to need that if you win the roll off in hold the tower scenario. You can get these points from dropping the 2+ Ward item off the BG unit champion, since I honestly doubt people are going to be attacking a unit champion with a flaming sniper spell. What ...

Welcome to druchii.net Ezu!! That is a nasty list of comp restrictions. A Pegasus is a monstrous beast, not a monstrous creature, so it's only -17 to comp. The first thing I would do is to go and look at a typical list that gets fielded in events. -17 may not be so bad if everyone else is fielding a...

I'd pick the lv 2 and the master setup. Make the lv 2 a scholar(tome of furion, seal of ghrond) and put her in the crossbows, and you'll have a fairly good casting phase. I find that Metal and shadow are great lores against WOC. I would go with the executioners instead of WEs, since they will more l...

Ok, I just read this awesome fluff about Lord Nevarc, and I don't get to see him in the list?!?! lol My biggest worry about your list is that it lacks warmachine hunting with only that one unit of DR, so I would move some points around to add in harpies and /or shades. I'm not sure if the sorceress ...

I would keep crown of command, since that way you can use the guy as offensive support and as a wall. If you play in a more competitive gaming group that will not cry cheese, you may want to spend those extra points by switching out the tome with a power scroll and making the sorc lv 4. Do you play ...

Concerning the original topic, there are many tools that can be used to accomplish the same things your Hydra does.

Vaul is often represented in fantasy and 40k fluff as the god of the smithies. Generally, we read stories about how he forged the ultimate sword or ultimate bow or something like that. As a result of this, I think it would be reasonable to conclude that priests of vaul were smiths who forged magic i...

Your issue is that you're trying to play on their terms. They want you to rush him with infantry so that he can kill 15 squishy elves per turn and then mop up with cavalry. We're not OnG or skaven; we don't have the numbers to do this. Maybe if you take mass warrior blocks, you MIGHT be able to get ...

What is Imp? Empire? DR, Harpies, shades, assassins with manbane/rending stars inside that unit of shades, and dark magic are, generally, great things to take down war machines.

I'd give the spearmen unit either banner of eternal flame or the warbanner instead of licheborne pennant. I'd also give the blackguard banner of murder instead, as this makes them more versatile since they can now fight high armour opponents As others have said, warmachine hunters(DR/Shades/Harpies)...

The OCD part of me really likes this list as each unit has a points value divisible by 5 (I know...) and the list is 3000 exactly. I must admit that I am highly amused. Also, I do expect a high percentage of WoC who are not particularly vulerable to Life, Death or Shadow. I may be over thinking it,...
