Re: New DE armybook RULES RUMOURS

The only thing which I feel has not been fully explained is what the Bloodwrack Shrine does. So, you can have the Medusa for 90 pts on foot and she gets 4 S4 KB shots (what range?). So far so mediocre. So apparently the Shrine gives +1 ld to DE within 6" and -1 ld to the enemy. So.... is that ...

Re: New DE armybook RULES RUMOURS

The new lore is the most exciting thing in the whole release Word of pain (wounding us on 6s? hell yeh), power of darkness and the Ld Hex all look amazing. I'm not all impressed, it's a really good lore against some armies (other Elves, specifically), but it's quite bad against WoC/Daemons and thes...

Re: on request, pics of new release

I do not play this game anymore (you should join me in playing warmachine instead ) and i doubt i will ever go back, but you cant argue with the fact that these minis are just pure awesome. GW are good as SOME things at least I would argue against that “fact” quite vehemently. The CoK models were i...

To not use Olympias as a mage would be ridiculous. MASSIVE ancient rumours about her and magic, possibly poisoned Philip, and practiced orgiastic snake worship. She fits a DE theme perfectly. Then if you wanted more mages, an oracle would be a great idea too. Alexander thinks/cultivated the idea tha...

To be honest I'd be perfectly happy if steamtank followed all warmachine rules and be affected by all spells like any other unit.

epic druchii fail. Absoultely laughable, considering you have the 3rd best army, with 2 of the most hated/undepriced units (Hydra, BG) and magic items (PoK, RoH). Just shoot some boltthrower bolts into it, after causing 3 wounds it is near useless. The ONLY rule change needed is to allow half points...

Well without going into lists, I think the best way to play DR is to realise they will probably die everybattle, but their loss is ok if it fits into the battle plan!

LOVE the army. The CoB is sweet, as is the dragon
The only criticism though, you seem to have good modelling and painting skills, but the basing looks very basic, and imo, slightly detracts from the overall effect.

I disagree. Magic and shooting are nice, but not a reliable way to win lots of matches. And the only elements he has rushing forward aggresively are the Hydra and CoK (I'd say DR are harassing units), neither of which are excessively fast, and with the worry about CoK stupidity...

I don't think the list is disjointed, druchi 77 says you need to take another block, has he not noticed that you do have spearmen? you have enough shooting/magic to force the enemy to come to you if needed, 2 solid infantry blocks which can be backed by the hard hitting elements, and enough disrupti...

I like how Desert Icon suggests adding tons but taking nothing out. I'd drop 5 warriors to add the level 2 upgrade to the sorceress. Then if you want to add command to the warriors, CoK, shields to RXB or RXB to the DR I would consider dropping one of the DR or RXB unit. Dropping one RXB unit could ...

MAgic is tough- you have to go all or nothing. And it is quite hard to go for nothing and still maintain a reasonable magic defense. I am lucky playing Empire, because due to Arch Lectors, Warrior Priests, and the RoP to transfer power to dispell dice, it is pretty easy to get decent magic defense. ...

The biggest issue, in my mind, is internal balance. It is annoying that there are some units which you just don't take, unless you have a specifically themed army, or built your army around using them. IE, Empire you will never normally see Halberdiers or a Master Engineer. Dark elves, unless you ta...
