Re: Using Medusae Solo?

I have yet to use my DE this edition, as I'm on a bit of a Bretonnian binge, but the last game I played was vs the new DE and my opponent was using a solo Medusae. He used it to babysit his Reapeter Bolt thrower. It was an interesting tactic, but one I couldn't ignore. I was sending my Peg Knights u...

GottaCon 2013 - 2500 Point Tournament

Hello fellow Druchii. I have returned from a tournament in Victoria BC at GottaCon 2013 and just got the rankings of how I did at the tournament. I played 5 games and won 3 of those games and placed 8th overall with only one win away from making first place pointswise. The tournament scored you ligh...

Great write up, The first army I ever magnetized has been my dark elves. I use a combination of strip magnets for plastics and neodyium for the metal models. I can honestly say I will never have a non magnetized Warhammer force ever. It is simply so much easier to move units around the battlefield o...

After some play testing I have more or less finalized this list. I have yet to be defeated with it, heck I have yet to have anything short of a landslide victory. This could definitely be because my friends are not used to tournament play, but they are bringing the cheesiest stuff they can. I recent...

That would depend on how big of a game you are playing. I never had too much trouble fitting in the COB a sorc and a manticore lord/hero at 2500-3K. All the aforementioned comments I strongly agree with (Ring of darkness especially) but one other key is to make sure you pick your battles. Never go i...

I'm going to have to back Red up on this one Setomidor, since the unit is in horde formation I find that my BSB is often not even part of the combat. Plus the executioners are one of those units where you NEED to pick your battles. I know a lot of people say "well they're slow, you can't pick w...

@Ghostface I started playing warmachine/hordes about 3 years ago as Skorne.

I did a similar one but I LOVE the belakor wings! For the rider I ended up having to carve off the saddle and sculpt my own using modified COK legs and I personally used the dark eldar lord body with the demon helm and a lot of greenstuffing. Can't wait to see how it all looks completed!!
