I was thinking of starting my younger brother (8 yrs) on Warhammer Fantasy. After showing him the possible armies, he said he liked the Skaven, Tomb Kings, and High Elves, but the Skaven was his favourite. Which of these doyou think would be the best beginner army for a kid? I think Skaven or HE, as...

wow. i really like the CoB with the female high eklf sacrificial slaves and the noble chariot with the malus spite heads. amazing.

I've done a lot of thinking and decided that my final list will either be one of these two lists, small changes could be made (no mus, etc.). ALL EQUIPMENT CAN BE SWAPPED. VARIANT 1 - BLACK GUARD LIST LIST High Sorceress -Lv.4 -DarkStar Cloak -2 Powerstones -Soulstone TOTAL: 350 Sorcie -Caddy TOTAL:...

um it actually is 5, there are 2 groups of rxb's first of all, big list. I hope you've won the lottery or something because thats gonna be one helluvan expensive list. anyway... agree completely with the first comment. if you cut down the DR and CO groups a bit and make the other cheges (no CO for s...

If that Evil of Naggaroth thing is true, it would be really sweet, but then they'd need to find some alternative for the Black Guard Eternal Hatred. Maybe +1 Strength? after all, they are elite soldiers and for their price I would have liked a little more. we should get DR boxed sets. if we dont im ...

Shades OR Harpies. Harpies, BTW, work better.
For the Assassins: Extra hand weapon, Manbane, and Rune of Khaine (4 attacks each 'aint bad)

put the Noble in a Warriors unit and add another warrior to even the groups to 20 each.

BTW I dont think u can have the Ring of darkness on a BSB as it is a magic item.

Malice is the only true emotion. Pain is the only true reality.

I would lose the banner on the RxB unit, and give the spearelf units a champion each. You may want to replace Crimson Death with a Lance, but I'n not sure.

Get rid of the standard on the Dark Riders, it'll get caught and you'll be in deep ****.

other than that though, looks good to me!

Now I know how I can round this ip to the full 2500! so according to you: get rid of the Tome for one dispel, and the stones for a wand get rid of the Hydra Blade for the Assassin and give it to the Noble get rid of the champs in the RxB units Give Black Lotus or Manbane and Rune of Khaine to the As...

after a short inactivity, I'm back! here's my latest list: CORE 20 Warriors -Shields -Full Command 12 RxB's -Shields -Champion -Musician -bows TOTAL: 344 20 Warriors -Shields -Full Command 12 RxB's -Shields -Champion -Musician -bows TOTAL: 344 5 Dark Riders -bows -Musican -Champion TOTAL: 141 SPECIA...

That's very, very well done. I like how you painted the water on the base. exquisite.

thanks. I think I'll take the other Sorceress, another whole group of Dark Riders is a little too much costwise...

I voted 'average' because the list lacks focus, it won't really dominate any phase. However, I think you can get by quite reasonably as long as you set fresh priorities each battle. Take the lance on the COCNoble Be sure to give a Muso to the DR unit for bait-and-fleeing. And as a final note (but t...

The RxB unit has no champion, only the spearelf regiment.
So keep the CoK unit but replace the Corsairs with Dark Riders? I guess that's do-able...

Sword of Might then, for +1 Strength?

And you suggest doing the switch with the Corsairs and Knights for another 32 Warriors?

Okay, I took EVERYTHING you guys said into account and made this new list: CORE 20 Warriors -Shields -Full Command 12 RxB's -Shields -Musician -bows TOTAL: 334 10 Corsairs - 100 5 Dark Riders -bows TOTAL: 120 SPECIAL 13 Witch Elves -Full Command -War Banner -Manbane for the Hag TOTAL: 249 Cold One C...

um, the point of having 5 heads is that they get 5 attacks plus the fire breath weapon.

So...I'll drop the second Chariot for an RBT. My plan would be to have the HS, the RxB's and the RBT on High ground to provide maximum sight while my warriors act as an anvil unit and my Witch Elves, Hydra, and chariot do some charging. If I'm lucky, the chariot would do some breaking (enemy units, ...

Well, the 2+ Armour save against all attacks is better than a 5+, improved by +1 for CC and +2 for long range pluis a shield, isn't it? I'll see what I can use to fill in the points gap for the extra chariot and the points for the mus and champ, but I'll await to see what others think before I make ...

Here's my new army list: CORE UNITS 20 Warriors -Shields -Full Command 12 RxB's -Shields (for CC just in case) -Mus. -Champ TOTAL: 344 5 Dark Riders -Rxb's -Mus. -Champ TOTAL: 141 SPECIAL UNITS 13 Witch Elves -Full Command -War Banner -Hag has Manbane TOTAL: 249 2 Chariots -Equipment for each TOTAL:...

against WE i´ll recommend, as others, corsairs. @shadowcorsair: 9 attacks at strength 6 isn´t that bad, is it? and this is the HB only with the lance, (well, AND the dragon) non magic items. so, yes, the HB in dragon is allright against the treeman... but if you support it with an hydra, you got it...

RBT's and a HB on Black Dragon. If he uses Tree kin oir multiple Treemen a War Hydra with its fire breath could prove useful. I'd suggest some Corsairs as a screen, to absorb ur fire while you move up chariots or Dark Riders. Chariots absolutely own Wood Elves with their impact rules and all that. I...
