Ive touched on the subject of Harpies many times in this forum over the last few years last time in a topic about ''mammoth units'' m The Harpies are incredibly versatile in regards to control but should never really be put into combat unless your certain they can make a sufficuent dent in the oppon...

it was actually a pretty commonly used tactic by alot of DE players back when we still had the 6th ed book. When the 7th ed book came out all the tactical stuff vanished and the ''Tactics'' forum became a ASF BG discussion board. Alot of very good tactics that were perfectly viable in 7th and now in...

You could model up an Ogre Bull to wear somewhat more Druchii'ish equipment. Or alternatively You could model it as a slave.


Or you could go with a Palanquin carried by either slaves or Dark Elf Warriors.

It depends what your list aswell as your playstyle looks like. I think that now with the new edition My assassins will probably get to spend a game or two on the shelf. Do love the little nasties though. If you have something in your army that could need the support by a character that does not chew...

For CoC pulled by Dark Steeds: Slower Movement=Its a heavy wagon. Stupidity=The wheel hits a bump or hole and the crew has to whip the animals forward to get free. For CoK riding Dark Steeds: Slower Movement=The Knight is wearing a bigger heavier armour. Stupidity=While Dark Riders can retain a good...

If you ask me quite honestly its too early to label something as being cheesy. While some of us have probably played afew matches in 8ed while others are yet to play their first match under the new ruleset we cant really label things as cheese before not just ourselves but also our opponents have fo...

Maybe... Maybe they can be converted to look abit more GW'ish...
I can imagine a kind and warm hearted society such as the Druchii would allow children to earn a living by serving in the military.

Holy ****! Those Spearelves looks amazing!

On both RxB's and on Spearelves Im going with shields for the sole reason it looks better. Besides that in my group theres alot of base units with STR4 or AP so a 6+ save means nothing. Technically giving Spearelves shields pretty much translates into the unit having 1 less rank in total and on aver...

This weekend Im going to a friendly tournament for 7th edition (sort of us comming together and saying goodbye to the old edition together) And Ill be bringing 2 Hydras there. I never got to do dual Hydra but I want to see what the big fuss about it actually is before the edition is completely gone....

The art of derailing a topic...

It really depends on the people you play with. Theres are all sorts of player groups out there. In some groups Ive been part of the most important thing (apart from having fun) was that lists should be balanced while in others the most important thing (again apart from having fun) was to bring out t...

The main problem I see with this is that your opponent only has to use 6 inches to get outside of your box. The remaining 2-4 inches can allow them to slowly turn towards your army. On top of this, if they charge and roll a 7 that is average of 11 inches giving them 6 inches of wheeled movement out...

Im beginning to enjoy he new rules more and more as I get into them! Obviously with us not having the cheapest rank fillers out there it seems that we may be fighting a somewhat uphill battle on that account but again DE's have never been about sustainted combat and sustained combat is really what t...

The Death Star does however have one weakness regardless which army have built it. It is very vulnerable to MSU armies. Not that the MSU army can usually effectively kill it but more that the MSU army has plenty of expendable cheap stuff to keep the Death Star from killing anything of value while th...

Well my idea was that my army would be basically played like any other MSU army as it is essentially 15 small units. The 3 crossbow units camp my deployment zone and hold those 2 table quarters meaning the enemy has to send something after them. The witches gets shot to pieces and I attempt to get t...

Firstly yes Im aware that Im crazy. Im going to attend an Indy tournament in the near future and well... Time for my Druchii to march into battle. Ive done 2-3 Assassins running around like individual models and teamworking quite afew times and they got potential. But Now I wanna take it up a notch....

Its this one your talking about right?

I picked Guerilia because its the closest to what I actually play. I have lots and lots of Shades, DR's, Harpies and all my chars(mostly Sorcs) are on DP's. I only very rarely use my rare choices. So basically what I play is Skirmish-Guerilia warfare. This is IMO what the DE's does best and this uni...

Any character riding a dark steed/pegasus/manticore/dragon to hunt him down. This is where you as a druchii player know how important it is to get the charge in. Other than that just shooting in general is still gonna get him down. A combi charge with multiple harpie units is gonna do it too. All of...

Heres a sample MSU list I played at a recent indy tournament. ---Heroes--- Lvl 2 Sorc - 197 - Steed, Scroll, darkstar cloak Master - 116 - Steed, SDC, HA, Shield, Lance, RxB Lvl 2 Sorc - 197 - Steed, Scroll, Focus Familiar Lvl 1 Sorc - 127 - Steed, ToF ---Core--- 5 DR's - 92 - mus 5 DR's - 92 - mus ...

Shield improves your armour by +1. Theres no additional effects of any kind.
Hand weapons however have a special bonus of +1 armor if the wielder is on foot and also using a shield.
Its not the shield that has the added benefit its the hand weapon that has it.
