You might be right on that one Red. But the reason I'm doing this is beacuse I've got stuck in a pattern of builds and I need to kinda... widen my view of the army. I've been lookin' around the forum for unrestricted lists, but there aren't too many. Thanks for the tip tmarichards, I'll check it out!

Ayt, all you Druchii-players! I need your help! There's an upcoming tournament with no restrictions what so ever. 2500 pts. And since I've only been playing with ETC-restrictions and national comp for the past 2 years, I'm having a hard time to figure out what to bring. ^^ Here's a list of the model...

If you manage to get all those buffs off AND roll a 10+ for your charge, well, it's nice. But, it's VERY unlikely to happen, allmost as unlikely as the unit you are charging is 30 Witch Elves in hoard formation with mindrazor cast on them and +1 attack from the cauldron. Do some maths and you'll fin...

Get a Level 4 mage. Select Lore of Death. Cast Purple Sun in every phase with all your dice. = Win. If you fear sniper-poison maneaters - Get a wardsave and/or deploy her in a forest and/or get the ring of darkness and just smile when he tries to snipe her. Then smile even wider when Your magic phas...

The dagger is probably the best arcane item in the game.
If you want your list to be as tough as possiblem, there is NO question about what item to take...

I don't wanna offend anyone now, but I have to doubt your enemys skill somewhat. Or you might be a pretty good player? =) But I have a Really hard time beliving that your list would work in my environment... The main problem though, is that about 90% of the hittingpower is frenzied. It's easily draw...

The thing is here - Kill your mage and it's game over.

It's a fun list indeed, but it's Way to fragile to Really be competative I belive.

But if you're not gonna play super competative, I suggest you try it out! =)

We take it down the same way we take all those T5+ things down

1. Massed x-bow fire. Enough shots Will bring it down.
2. Magic - mindrazor, pit, purple sun

I just played a tourney a few weeks ago. 1200x2 pts, I was playing Dark Elves and my mate were playing High Elves We lost less than 1000 pts during the whole 5-game tournament and finnished second, 1 point below the winners. This is what we took: Dreadlord - General. Heavy Armour, Sea dragon cloak, ...

I can see no real reason to have two Pegas-mounted DLs.

The first is for the PoK, CoC combo. But the second one might as well be a Master.
Cheaper, and will do the same job for less points.

It allso allows you to keep your level 4 caster, which is important in competative play.

The Dreadlord is not stubborn by default, nor do you have the crown of command. So he is not stubborn. The first sorceress is illegal since she has two arcane items. And now aside from pure rules. I'm bot sure a Dragon is the most competative choice, but you clearly want one, so here we go: With a p...

I'm a little confused here. I've allays assumed that the Hydra tests at its own initiative when being targeted by Pit of Shades and the like. But, at page 10, "Characteristic tests" it says: "Where a model (or a unit) has more than one value for the same characteristic, as in the case...

So what is your point there Tethlis?

That it's easy to just get him stuck in without any real mind behind it and hope for it to work?
While it's much more difficult to use him effectively, especially if you get a bad matchup.

Pit of shades, harpies, Purple sun, Dark Riders and Shades can all handle those catapults pretty well...

I've never had too much trouble getting my Hydras in to CC against TK beacuse of the troops mentioned above.

The solluton is simple: Bring a Hydra. If that doesn't work - bring another one! Appart from that it's pretty much the same as vs VC: Make them suffer in CC. Win the combat by a ton and he will suffer for it twice. Corsairs with SSS, BG, and witches all shred pretty much everything the TK player can...

I've played A LOT with the Blocking Lord. At a few tournaments as well and have been really successfull. And yes, he can, and often will die unless you help him out. Don't expect him to last the entire game vs a Really tough unit, cuz he won't. Though, there are two things I've found that helps a to...

Actually, the Master isn't easy prey for bolt throwers. They need to hit him first which is often a 4+ or a 5+. Then they need to wound him with str 6/2 = 3, so another 4+. Then they need to roll 5+ to make 3 wounds and thus killing him. That's about 8.33% chance to do it with one bolt thrower, if y...

Hydra was 0-1, they were worth points, sniping them is still on 4+ to wound, and if cannon kills them, hero on DP kills cannon so 1 for 1 ain't bad, also hydra and chariot and other stuff are free from cannons that way. if they live they do give points back. Having anything else besides them would ...

Seriously the best battle reports on youtube! It is a Bretonnia player, but he goes up against dark elves fairly frequently. Much to learn from!

QFT!

Love his reports! Best there is!

Let's just get this clear: The Hydra is one of the strongest units in the game for it's points. It Can be killed, sure, if you know how to do it and have the tools. Ie, high str flaming attacks. But to all of you who says that the Hydra is Not too good or something like that - try to play Against a ...

@ OP: Lolololol

Sry, I had to...

I'm not going to argue any further about why Black Guards are superior to execs in allmost every way.

It's obvious...

Sure, whatever, but not everybody plays the way you do, and so doesn't need BG or an unkillable lord.

If the goal is to play as competative as possible, I'm merely suggesting changes to get closer to that goal. =)

Black guard does not perform as well vs armour as execs do (the first round...) - but with the AP banner (which is pretty much the only useful one), the difference is very small. Mathhammer it and you'll see what I mean... And allso do the second round! You'll see that you need units like Chaos Knig...

No Harpies?

No Roadblock Dreadlord?

No Black Guards?

It can definitely be stronger....
