Re: Pegasus Dreadlord
CoT + Ogre Blade + Luckstone (one time re-roll of 1+ AS). I really want S6 to wound something and cut through armour more reliably, like when charging an Ironblaster. I am counting on the re-roll to hit and D3 wounds and KB on the charge to do in my target and the 3++ to waste a lot of energy and ti...

Re: 2500 - "Pegwitch" No Comp Tourney list (all comers)
One note Ring of Hotek MR3 does not protect the lvl 4 against wounds from miscasts. (FAQ for the BRB discusses this.) Also, the witches attack a non-Khainite character at the end of your turn if you roll a 1-3 on a D6 and cause D6 S3 hits on the lvl 4 if in that unit. There is always a risk that a l...

Re: 2200 turny list
This is for Rock Wars I assume. I went a very different route because of the premium on fortitude in controlling table quarters, What I struggle with is lvl 4 and dreadllord v. Beastmaster on Manit. If you go with the BM, I think with the amount of dwarfs and wood elf armies you will see that the cl...

Suggestions are welcome. I'm consider take DE to a 2200 point, closed list, GT event (Rock Wars GT) that has an odd comp system where you gain bonus battle/comp points for taking certain models/units in character, core, special, and rare slots deemed less powerful.

Re: 2500 vs Skaven. Which Lore to take?
Dark magic kills skaven. With a mounted lvl 4, you can get just in range and out of charge arcs and cast away. Skaven relies on leadership bubbles and ranked up large units. That makes it ideal for dark magic where black horror can roll through multiple blocks of units (forcing panic tests that will...

Rather than complaining about each spell, why not objectively evaluate it. I have and continue to have reservations about the lore but you can't evaluate it without looking at the +1 to cast and lore attribute (which is actually under-rated when you throw 3 or mroe dice at something). POD: Agreed. i...

Re: Lv 4 with book of ashu
I have considered running Book of Ashur on my lvl 4 with a one-time 4+ ward or a 5+ ward and then Ring of Hotek on my BSB in a mounted mobile bunker unit. The points cost of this item, combined with the limit on magic points limiting the ward save, is such that is is probably just barely worth worth...

Re: Surviving the wood elf slaughter
The sniper rule has been threshed out on the Asrai forums. The use of the singular in the sniper rule does not deny the ability to multishot. Lizardmen special character has multishot and sniper and that is allowed. It is pretty well understand (in English) that taking Bow of Loren on a waystalker a...

Re: Shades in the meta
With all the vanguard and scouts out there in the current game and with a fast cav army (Warllocks and dark riders), I believe a small unit of shades becomes necessary to fence off and limit the space for the opposing player to place scouts and vanguard units in the deployment phase. I often go chea...

Re: Another try to be competitive with Woodys around
OK. Which comp system are you using in Germany, or is in tournament specific? If ETC, ETC really limits the number of waystalkers, waywatchers and enchanted arrows a WE army can take and some of the extreme avoidance builds. If ETC, the peg lord and peg master seem to be in vogue (as noted by the ET...

Re: Another try to be competitive with Woodys around
Not sure why the fixation on WE, as opposed to an all-comers list. Some ideas having played WE. 1. You really do not need light council against them. Light council is really for dealing with armies with high T and especially ward saves (banishment). The banishment spell is good against Daemons and D...

Re: 2500 Tournament List-Fast and shooty
Thanks. Much appreciated. I've thought about dropping two RBts but it leaves me too vulnerable to the DP and high AS armies. Putting flaming on one RXB unit is useful and I had not considered.

I had not played DE since August last year. Our region plays with no comp, but soft scores matter a lot (some people grade hard on whether army is "fun" and painting). I submitted at the last minute and then played a list similar to the below in late June at a GT and went 3-2 (but two majo...

Re: Corsairs v.s. Witches, who to take?
In my group I have three wood elf players. So a corsair unit lasts longer. But I am seriously looking at 10 rhb corsairs as a screen for some of my other more fragile units. This is where I am at. Execs take a lot of damage from shooting, as do witches; so a screen of corsairs really pays off. I've...

Re: Ethical Question
In a tournament environment, sports should be part of the scoring. It is still a game; so letting your opponent misplay a rule and then waiting until later to call it is totally wrong. You owe it to your opponent to point it out in a timely manner. Even in tournaments, with so many rules to remember...

Re: Witch Elves: are they a trap, okay, or our best core by
Dalamar. I obviously fully understood that you have to take either AHW or RHB on corsairs. If you did not have to take them then they would cost the same as spear and shield warriors and sword and board warriors, correct? So, the point I was making was the you might pay the extra cost for corsairs j...

Re: New DE armybook RULES analysis
Interesting, I see your point on the crew doing the shooting with the RBT, kind of a technicality really. I don't really care, I just think that the murderous prowess rule itself makes clear the mounts do not get it and it is limited to close combat so I would simply argue it is ambigoous and sloppy...

Re: Witch Elves: are they a trap, okay, or our best core by
I really like corsairs and dark riders for base core units if I do not run a cauldron. Raising the point costs of warriors really puts them out of favor relative to corsairs and witches and the extra AS and lower cost of dark riders is huge in terms of value and use. RXBs are still worth taking for ...

Re: New DE armybook RULES analysis
ON the RBT, it is my understanding and the RAI that only the crew (not the RBT) get ASF, hatred (HE), and murderous prowess, not the war machine. The unit has a split profile and the profile for the RBT does not include MP. This is very clear on page 94 of the army book where the special rules for t...

Re: Warlocks and lore attributes
Except that the death lore attribute generates dice with direct damage but not hexes. They certianly get the doombolt attribute (2D6 S1 AP hits won't do much most of the time but is better than nothing).
