Trying to wrap my brain around what you are saying. E = Enemy models H = Hydra B = Beastmaster You arrange your hydra unit like this: ----H ----H --BB- Move unit into range like this: EEEE-H EEEE-H ---BB- Assuming a one inch gap between everything so its not technically a charge. Now the enemy canno...

I would suggest the Pendant of Khaeleth before Amulet of Darkness. 4+ ward save is good but for 70 points its pretty expensive. Reflecting wounds is nice but unlikely to be all that effective against enemy heroes who are usually also packing ward saves and against Daemons who are all packing ward sa...

RBTs, Hydras or both?

Keeping individual notions of cheapness aside, which do you folks prefer in your 2000-2250 point armies? I go up against some pretty brutal lists so I'm not particularly concerned with being nice about my list either. 4 RBTs or 2 RBTs + 1 Hydra or 2 Hydras? Myself I've been fielding 2 RBTs + 1 Hydra...

Am I missing something with Shadowblade's placement rules? They state: "In either case, when Shadowblade is revealed, remove a normal rank-and-file memeber of the unit (he was killed before battle), and place Shadowblade anywhere in contact with the unit . Both are now in close combat." As...

I think the performance of Witch Elves vs low toughness foes is a bit exaggerated in relation to Black Guard. Some numbers, assuming 5 models in base contact with champions but no banners or COB. --------- Vs WS2 T3 5+ armor save (Gobblin Spears + Shield) WE: 5.83 BG: 5.43 Vs WS4 T3 5+ armor save (E...

I field the Cauldron in my 2000 pt games, without any khainite units. To each their own but I find Witch Elves and Executioners generally too situational to be useful in an all comers army. The Cauldron on the other hand adds a lot of versatility to an army. Killing Blow for when units are in contac...

Ah my mistake. Mixed up Hand of Khaine and Rune of Khaine. Still though I think he's your best bet of taking Teclis out before he can get much magic off. Assassins still have to get in position. According to my math Shadowblade will do on average 2.96 wounds to Teclis. Not counting killing blow or t...

Fear causing units have to outnumber the enemy units for an autobreak. Lokhir will cause terror but none of the Black Guard cause terror or fear so you won't get an autobreak. Having a fear/terror causing character in your unit just prevents you from having to take fear/terror tests and causes fear/...

If you're worried about ASF, use units that can beat it. Your ASF Black Guard will go before pretty much anything in the HE army as you've pointed out. Also consider using Shades and an Assassin to take out his Bolt Throwers and maybe Teclis early. Assassins will also go before anything in the HE ar...

It'll depend a bit on how well you protect them until they get into combat. I prefer 10 actually for a couple of reasons: The standard 5+1 BSB (Hydra Banner, Banner of Cold Blood) combo costs 404 points with full command. They'll do a lot of damage if they get into combat intact. Their hitting power...

Just to interject a quick rules question here... Someone mentioned Cold Ones benefit from Hatred? Is this actually true? Reason I ask is, yes the Cold One Knights entry in the book says Eternal Hatred but the entry for the Cold Ones themselves does not list Eternal Hatred. I'm torn on Cold Ones. The...

I'm not a big fan of using lots of magic. As others have mentioned it can be extremely dicey. Don't get me wrong. DE's have great magic in my opinion and Power of Darkness combined with the ability to throw as many dice as they want make them very good at magic. Problem is magic itself in my opinion...

I don't have a whole lot of experience against gunlines and I've never played against the anvil but generally speaking I'd suggest a few things. 1) You need things that can clear the board quickly. Shades with an Assassin in the unit would probably be best. With Great Weapons and RXBs the Shades wil...

Is COK stupidity worth neutralizing?

This is my first post, so hello to everyone. I've just recently gotten into WFB and picked up a DE army. My roomate is a longtime player and after the two of us picked up WAR he got back into the habit and took me with him. I've got a few games under my belt now. Against Chaos Mortals, Daemons and D...

Naggaroth's newest general. First 2000 pt All Comers List

My roomate just got me into Warhammer Fantasy a couple weeks ago and I've been working my way up to my first 2000 point game. After much playing around with army builder I think I've got a solid list set up but would love some feedback as I'm sure improvements can be made. Lord: Dreadlord - 334 Moun...
