Re: Skill to play Dark elves
Your friend's list has no finesse. He needs some fast cav badly. Assuming he cant go buy a bunch of models I would suggest he split the trolls into three units. The single trolls can park in front of your witches in such a way that they turn 90 degrees or more if they charge and then must over-run d...

Re: Scylocs deeper look into the use of the Bloodwrack Shrin
I stayed in the second rank and issued a challenge, he had to accept with BSB if he didnt accept with unit champ.

Re: Scylocs deeper look into the use of the Bloodwrack Shrin
Last night I took a bloodwrack shrine in 34 corsairs with 2 level 2 casters in it (in 2nd rank).. VS WoC, threw it in front of 9 chaos knights with BSB. I took little damage first round of combat, cast Miasma on the knights and used smoke and mirrors to swap in my dreadlord for challenges. They slow...

Re: Scylocs deeper look into the use of the Bloodwrack Shrin
I have a game soon vs chariot heavy WOC.. it just occurred to me that I can always charge my shrine out of my unit and it should be able to take on about any warrior chariot. They may fail the fear test and regardless are unlikely to do more wounds on T6 than they take, and will be testing with an a...

Re: Success/Failure with CoB..progress report.
I was thinking the Obsidian Blade would be a good idea for the COB hag.. the S4 doesn't matter as much with the re-rolls to wound, and it adds anti-armor. Anyone run this?

The 100 VP per comp is what the US masters is using, with a 800pt cap and +1500 being a 20.

Re: 2000 all comers dagger horde
If a master with hand bow is in the crossbows it makes them stand at shoot at 12".. Could be a side role for one of the masters.

Re: 2.5k regulatet tournament list . WHAT KINDA MAGIC?
Shadow is fun with the dragon for Steed of Shadows. There are almost no shadow spells you don't need. Miasma is low casting and helps the shrine.

Re: Swedish comp list, scoring 14.0
I think this list may get ran over by combat armies that can weather the shooting, and outshot by empire and dwarfs.
For starters I would drop the Book of Ashur and replace spearmen with corsairs as the armor is sweet.

Re: Bloodwrack Shrine useless?
Perhaps not worth its points but far from useless. In a recent game I had mine (in a unit) move up and shoot a steggadon for 2 wounds, then kill it on the stand and shoot. Against Low init it can rock.. so miasma some fools!

Re: Executioners vs. CoKs
They serve much different roles unless you play warhammer without subtlety and maneuvering.. but then still.. if you see a hoard of witch elves across the table you will wish you had the CoK instead of the executioners. You could even run the CoK 10 wide into those witches. A unit of even 5 naked Co...

You wouldn't think it evil to kill a million termites eating your house.. wood elves don't think they are evil for killing the pests destroying the forest.

Keep an eye out for forests or buildings that you can get into near the fanatics.. shades or harpies jump in there and are are safe from the fanatics they release.

Re: Witch Elves: are they a trap, okay, or our best core by
I feel like if you are going to take the cauldron (maybe you just love the model) you must take 25+ witches. If you are going to take shadow you should take at least one min sized unit of witches if not 2 just for the mindrazor opportunity or taking out monsters. I think witches are great, the cauld...

Orcs can be very powerful in the shooting and magic phase, but I think they were written poorly as orc players really want to bash 'eads like warriors. If deployed on a refused flank they can castle as well as dwarfs and are more well rounded. 2 doom divers should clear out our dark riders pretty qu...

Re: Creative uses for Bloodwrack units...
I plan to run my bloodwrack in 25 spears, 5 wide with full command so my L2 of dark can sit in the 2nd rank always. If I get a charge off I will throw a PoD so my impact hits will be S6. Should do surprising amounts of damage and be a decent anvil.

Re: Hashishin loadouts
FYI regarding armor.. Pg500 brb states Wizards cannot have armor unless they can take mundane armor. No restriction that would apply to assassins. Unfortunately potions don't work well with assassins as you have to use them at the beginning of a turn.. not too sneaky if you reveal at the beginning o...

Re: Biggest threats to our existence
Remember sometimes the answer isn't just a unit, its being willing to change your play.. If i'm facing bretts with 2 trebs, my hoardes of infantry are likely to deploy in 2 ranks super wide until my peggy master or fast cav can silence their warmachines. Same is likely true with Chaos Dwarfs or liza...

Re: Arnzipal's Black Horror and Steam Tanks
Some single shots from bolt throwers might slow it down. The K-rib might do ok if it gets the charge. I usually run shadow, so mindrazor or pit of shades would be obvious.

Re: 2.5K Dreadlord on Dragon list, need tips for tournament
In my games using a dragon, a master on pegasus has been a great addition.. they can both charge the same unit and the master can take the challenge. I would throw the BSB on a cold one and drop the chariots for a hydra.
