Hey dread I too had a tough time at the 'Ard Boyz mainly due to low rolls. But I am glad to say that a druchii army did place running 4 hydras and witch spam. I think the scenario played a big part in the druchii demise as magic for us is still an important part of the phase but ohh well its like yo...

I too have found great success in the lore of metal. All the spells have thier uses as i found that out during my 2nd run at the 'Ard Boyz unfortunately my lvl. 4 somehow always miscast and get that darn roll of one then just die.

Well the 'Ard Boyz is next week and im putting the final touches in my list and I just learned that ill be facing 3 lizardmen, 2 other Dark elves, a WoC, a DoC, HE, and a VC armies so i wanted to ajust my list to be able to take on these armies. One thing I can conclude is that there is not heavy sh...

You know dread ill admit im alil skeptic when it comes to cosairs but at the moment I have an opportunity to switch a horde of RXB's and try this unit out your arguements on the benifits have intrigued me so im going to give it a try. The opportunity im referring to is the 2nd round of the 'Ard Boyz...

See the problem is N'kari is that your up against caderayn, a fixed up bsb and teclis in the back with phoenix guards so shadow blade will never touch teclis and killing caderayn means one dead BsB since our BsB of doom has no save against his blowing up ability. So its gonna take more then characte...

How well did those bolt throwers work for you Dyvim? I find that they never really do enough damage nor put enough scare into my opponents. Maybe add calvery.

Well the problem I see is that the Phoenix guards are 20 strong with 3 character in the unit being only 5 wide means only two of the three characters will be in the front. That means teclis is in the back and will still be able to cast spells. So shadow blade is not a good option cause he will never...

Yeah your rite masamune, I just added it up and I was short in my core pts so I made changes by changing the dreadlord equipment around with the BsB and added the pts to the core. Thanks again for pointing it out

Yeah masamune, I would do the same but it would drop me down the minimum require pts for the core and also playing in the 'Ard Boyz they really enourage you to bring a horde unit by adding in battle pts for having one and killing one although I dont know round 2's scenario, its better to be prepared...

Well the only success ive had with the unit is ASF CoK's which do damage but then teclis will bring back all the models that I just killed but the knights do tie up the unit long enough to aloow me to flank charge it. I was thinking what N'kari said so I made a dragonlord with WoA, Talisman of Prese...

Hey let me know how well it performes and who u went up against? I am leaning towards dropping the PoK and dragonhelm for the talisman of preservation for an actual ward save of 4+. what do you think of that idea? Edit: I decided to go ahead and change PoK to talisman of preservation and also add in...

I was tinkering with the idea of bringing 3 hydras and wanted to make a take no prisoners list. Here is what I have so far: Dreadlord-Whip of Agony, Armor of Eternal Servitude, Dragonbane Gem, other trickster's shard, Sea dragon cloak, Shield, Black dragon LvL.2-Sacrificial Dagger LvL.2-Tome of Furi...

Im getting ready for round 2 of the 'Ard boyz and the delimma I have is how do i stop teclis? Mainly when he is deployed with the phoenix guards, a bsb, and caderyan with the banner of sorcery? The lore he usually uses is life but i have seen him use death. Either way usuing characters is not a good...

nothing huh?

So I just got back from the tourny and im Happy to say I places third overall out of 16 players. So now I need your help D-Net to represent the D. Elves in round two. Here is the final list that I brought to the tourny. Supreme Sorceress-Sacrificial Dagger, Talisman of Preservation BsB-SoM, PoK, HA,...

Ahh thanks I remember reading somewhere that was the case, well im glad that is clarified thanks again this topic can be closed now

So I was reading the rule book mainly about movement and I couldnt find the new movement rule that states during the movement phase units now move 2D6 plus thier M value. Now I browed through the book several times and couldnt find it I know the 2D6 is what you roll for charges and fleeing plus ther...

I think I might just do that thanee. Thanks for the advice

EDIT: I just realized you have two talismans on the supreme. I would move the seal elsewhere and upgrade the opal amulet to talisman of preservation. Can just drop the healing potion and put the seal on the L2, even though I really liked the idea there. Just saw the comment, yeah im glad you caught ...

So after realizing the 'Ard Boyz is this weekend I hurried and made this list after reading a few on here. Dreadlord-Whip of Agony, Crown of Cmd, PoK, Potion of Foolhardiness, HA, SDC, SH, CO [I wanted to bring the dreadlord for his leadership so I made him really offensive while having a good save ...

Hey D-net back again with my first 8th ed list although im having trouble finishing it, I have about 260 pts left and im asking the good ppl here to help me finish the list. Here is what I have so far: Kuroth (BSB)-Halberd, Blood Arm, PoK, SDC [I wanted to change it up from the standard BSB of Doom ...

Yeah Dalamar, thats what I have been thinking too and running the RXB so big i think its safe to keep my sorceress outside of the unit maybe on a peggy for mobility.

I have a question those 30 man RXB, are you runing them with a full command, Standard/Muso, or without a command? I plan on running two blocks of them and was wondering are the benifits of having them with command worth the pts to pay for them?

Just want to throw in my two cents, I believe when taking lore of dark, Shadow should also be taken with spells that reduce a units T by D3 Black Horror Just got more interesting and its a great way to Hurt WOC without taking the lore of metal. Just something to think about

I honestly dont see the difference between the new rules and the old, Sure the cauldron lost MR and terror but if you think about it it really doesnt need them. Terror is downed played and since its classed as a war machine its never gonna charge anyone anyways so why bother to have that rule as for...
