As many shooting units, as needed and not more.
You are certainly right, in not playing his game.
But should he advance, then you suddenly need to change plans. A unit witch elves or black guard, will do.

The ethereal fast cav, hurt me alot.
We dont have an option for magical attack troops.

For a question like this, you need something more then just a mere magical spell solution. Because magic can backfire/stopped If the hellcannon doenst blow itself up, you need the following: -Dreadlord on Pegasus, giantblade, OTS and some protecion. You deploy him on the flank of your army, and fly ...

Nooooo!!!

I always said that the Druchii needed to unthrone Wacko Malky.

But now,. im not so sure anymore

Fight fire with an CO 2 extinguisher!

Big ol' unit of flaming witchies with hellebron.
Since hellebrons attacks are magical, therefore they arent flaming.

all problems solved.
Once the trolls are dead, this unit will carve like a hot knife through the rest of his army.

Evening fellow druchii scum, Im trying to field a lists that would benefit greatly from the lore of alternative lores. I need your help with this. Lore of light, Good for troops I think -------------------------------- Lore of Beasts Better for fast moving charackters. But while doing so, the wizard...

Simple answer on your question VS vampire's take BG i'd say. VS chaos, executioners. But if your WOC opponent is taking only the cheese builds. Then so should you. Dreadlord on peg . (for hellcanons and/or intercepting his 3++ builds) Supreme sorceress with metal , (good for taking out chymera's, ch...

I've had more succes with doombolting a chymera, or sending COT pegasus master in. Also shadow can pit of shades it, quite good. If you want to take it out by missile fire, just use the 14 flaming crossbows followed up by your bolt throwers. Hydra won't do anything, because its flaming attacks from ...

Hi, A question here. (situation 1.) A lone Nagash is boxed up by harpies, Nasgash can only move out of the way, or charge the nearest thing 5 harpies, line up in front of him. ......(N) Nagash H H H H H .................(D) Dreadlord Say Nagash charges the most left harpy, does my unit of skirmisher...

Against Lizardmen I want to combat the hunting packs and fire salamander asap. Also skinks blowpipes must be dealt with. Warlocks versus fire lizard and the cloack master against the razordon hunting pack. a unit of 9 warlocks and a master, can go very deep. Executioners won't serve you good against...

I've used much of the advise given here so succesfully repel the combined foes. The dreadlord with giant blade was really good, dark riders to block enemy units Silvejirs hex to transform Manfred the vampire into a toad and squish it. Magic not so,. a fickle thing I first picked out the vampire unit...

Silvejirs Hex

-Now that would be funny, beiing turned from one cold blooded ghoul to an prettier amphibian.
- Condsering the sisters, how about the size of that unit?

Mobility and strengt, always the debate between knights and executioners.

My dear druchii minions, I've come to seek your advise. My Shades told me that within two days, an army of chaos warriors and vampires will try to lay siege. I've two days to muster my forces. I'm expecting trolls, chymerias, chariots, 2/3+ ward save chaos heroes and hellcanon and skullcruchers. My ...

4) Lone Medusa. As has been pointed out, they will wreck any chaff they engage, and by being baited out of place they are actually helping you. How does this help? I see my battle plan in ruins. 5) Warlocks. Okay, these guys are more expensive than the other choices by double and more. But 2 S4 att...

Hi Guys and few girls, Yesterday we played a local tourny. Very fun mostly. I fielded this: Heroes: CoB, Death hag, BSB. Noble on pegasus, mundane kit, lance, cloack of twilight. 25 Witch elves, full comm, Razor standard. 5 dark riders, rpx, shields. 5 shades, 30 executioners, full comm, banner of s...

Can never have cover modifiers... from obstacles. Obstacles are a specific type of terrain (walls and fences) Even example photo shows a giant taking cover behind a building. Allright., we can even say that the house in the photo consist of 4 walls. But we won't go on that tour. Say, I have an exam...

Dalamar wrote:Depending ob positioning, large targets can often claim cover from bolt throweres too due to reaper's low profile.
Remember you check LoS from a firing point which on reapers is about chest high for infantry.

What., But the rulebook says., Large target, can never have cover modifiers.

Hi, I usually field two Bolts. If I see large targets, then I deploy mine back behind my own troopts. They can shoot the large targets anyway, without penalties. Here the strange part comes. I do not expect them, to hit and kill stuff in the first round. They usually kill later in the game. Wounding...

My main Problem is the Hellblaster, Steam Tank and the Demis. It feels like Empire is so much more flexible then dark elfes. They use warmachines to cover space and cheap 1+ AS Knights for redirection. Steam Tank is the most powerful model in WHFB i feel... They channel with 5 dice... The hellblast...

I've adapted the basis of my list. I choose to hold the lvl 4 sorceress, If I swapped her for a lvl 1 sorceress, I didn't enough points for something relatively worth it. - Supreme sorceress. Death lore, dark steed, scroll and preservation in warlocks. - Pegasus master, cloack of twilight. Lance, fu...

Shades with 2 hand weapons can deal with the warmachines. A second sorceress using lore of metal can also be effective against the steam tank and the demigriffs. Saintofm has it at the right end. My first question. What exactly are the problem area's you face against this list? (general advise) Met...

Let me look at this, with just common sense.

The shriek is an attack done in the shooting fase.
So it would be a shooting attack.

!!

Hi., Thanks for feedback. I always thought the regen, Toughness increase and ofcourse dwellers below was serious threat on its own. But maybe I should take Dark or death instead. Should I put her on a horse then? What would be the most optimal core filler: 2 x 14 witch elves? 1 x 10 RPX men / 5 dark...

For an 1800 points local tourney, I need your feedback. It will be three matches, one pitched battle, one battle for the pass and finally a scenario where we will be only 12 inch apart and that troops can be held in reserves. I was thinking along the following lines: lvl 4 supreme sorceress, joining...

Death magic vagueness. What happens if a Supreme sorceress, casts the default spell of the death lore. Targets an enemy (insert random target) And the target is within a 12 ich radius of their general. Who's LD is being used? Its in the FAQ, and yes they get to use Inspiring Presence. But that FAQ ...
