Havn't used them in an age! A decent sized unit of RXB and corsairs with Dark Riders always win in my eyes. But ive always preffered using small manuverable units and every time ive used a massive block of spears it just seems to plod up the field and get eaten. Altho i like the sound of Meteors tat...

What about putting the lvl 4 on a dark pegasus? I tend to find it very useful (and it really winds my opponant up haha) when u can get her behind enemy units and cause some real disruption, i also give her lifetaker which is always a wee added extra shooting.

I always imagined him a bit like Sauron,with him being stuck in his armor. Im not sure about the scale issues but i think the LOTR Sauron model with maybe a differnt head and defo a different weapon would look pretty cool. Tad cheaper than the dragon model.

Using death magic on a highly mobile mage is always handy when facing vc's. Take out that general nice and early and then hold the line while his army crumbles. I put a lvl 4 on a Pegasus and get her behind his units.

Have a think at what style you would like to play. Dark elves were my first army and i enjoyed using a small elite force with lots of manuverability. I ended up taking Empire as my second choice because it was the only army army my opinion that dosnt have a set style play. You can take an entire hea...

Using swordmasters as executioners.......(the shame!)

Whats the general consensus on using HE swordmasters as executioners, someone mentioned the idea to me at a local game club. Its a cheap option, especially the plastic sets on ebay. Was just wondering if anyone else has done it or if the High elf symbolism is too difficult to remove.
