Thank you for the fast reply Rork. I have altered the list according to your advice. The firedragons/ Wraithlord BL are replaced by a viper jetbike with a brightlance, that is now my primary anti-tank weapon. As I removed the firedragons the falcon is not going to be used as a transport anyway, and ...

For my 3. game I am going to field 1000 points of eldars versus the orcs of my experienced friend. I need advice on what to take against the greenskins. After winning a great victory with lots of jetbikes in my first game, my second game became a humiliating defeat as my wraithlord was cut down by m...

Which ones? Do you know of a title or front page picture?

I have 3 armybooks in my drawer; The "Warhammer armies" from 3. edition and the two most recent editions of the "dark elves army list" as used in 6. and 7. edition of the game. But what army list was used for the druchii in 4. and 5. edition? And where can I find said army list? ...

Well - I got to play my 4*2500 pts battle this sunday. It was an amazing display of painted miniatures, but the tactical part of the game lacked a bit. We played Druchii & Vampires versus Highelves and Lizardmen. That specific setup worked like a charm for the Medium and long range shooting team...

Hydra Banner solves this. With a BSB with Hydra Banner a unit of CoK becomes quite dangerous. I prefer either that unit or 2 naked units - one on each flank. 135 pts is not far from the price of a dark rider unit - but the CoK has a better chance to anchor the flank than dark riders. I currently exp...

Yes please.
That would be very helpful.
What rules du you use on deployment, magic, generals, BSB, common scaling, etc. etc?

Great article!
I missed one tactic I use myself;
Chariots are very cost-efficient to send against lone units of archers.
Be it high elves, druchii, bretonian or even empire - a chariot is perfect to take out archers.

Hmmm... Next week I pass 5000 pts. painted druchii models - and I would like to celebrate it with a 5000 pts. game. But I can not find any reasonable rules to cover a battle of that size. Do any of you have experience with it? How large should the board be? How about general and BSB - should there b...

Some quality infantry?
Witchelves, Black Guars or executioners.
Perrhaps a chariot?

But what you have is a great starting force!

I am playing my ETC-playing friend. Being a mere novice with <10 games played I will face a known skaven horde consisting of 2500 pts including : A Gray Seer, a warlock and a plaguepriest on a Furnace. Abomination, Warp-cannon. Plaguemonks and 2*plague-censers 25 Stormvermin, 2*20 slaves and 2*25 cl...

Well - how DO you deal with the plague-monks, the furnace and the abominations?

Allow me to rebuild your army, just to show what I would do with it: Dreadlord /w, Manticore, Armour of Darkness, Hydra Blade, Potion of Strenght - 430 pts BSB /w Soulrender, Pendant of Khaeleth, ha, sdc - 163 pts Sorceress /w lvl 2, Dispell Scroll, Darkstar Cloak (Or Focus Familiar, you choose) - ...

You seem abit low on the magic defense side, I would probably try add a second sorceress with a scroll and darkstar cloak. I also don't like the sacrificial dagger on the sorceress, she got no viable modells to slay, so I'd probably remove that in favour of something else. Well - the magic restrict...

I have posted a sketch for the armylist here:
http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?p=757646#757646

I have sketched this army based on the feedback given here: m I am facing one of the ETC-players who fields an Ogre army. The battle we will play will be under high restrictions - so a magic-heavy army is impossible. As is flying heroes on Dragons. I need some help from players, that have played ver...

Thank you for the help ! Im getting a good idea of what to expect. It sounds like Movement is the most important thing - flexibility comes first. It sounds like close combat is dangerous, and being charged should be avoided. What about Chariots? Are they any good? They can shoot and are immune to fe...

I recently begun playing Warhammer (again) and bought an army. I have played only one game with my elves (versus empire - and I won). I have, however, read lots and lots about druchii strategy and tactics in general - and I played Warhammer from '89 - '98. So I am not a total novice. I am now facing...
