Good to see ya back around Gnosis I was REALLY tempted by Beastmen until their new book came out and they got rid of the hybrid skirmish-ranked unit: for me having models walking around in regimented rank and file just does not sit well with me and so I avoided them. However upon recently reading th...

Hiya chaps, thanks for the constructive (and not constructive - Eldria! ) criticism and considerations. Any more thoughts on shadow or death wizard as backup? Bite me, you know we'll spend ages on this anway... I'm thinking death but thats only because I love the lore, we'll need to look at the res...

Yes she can, you just need to play well

Correct. You missed a word however.

We mostly smugly laugh at it

It used too. The new one just gives ASL.

I saw this explained once as

"The rules cancel they do not disappear"

So as Tsunami posted, having one ASF is enough to counter 1 million ASL's or vice versa.

You should lead from the front and post up all the games you play!

Muhahahaha

When playing Dark Elves I tend to go for "Dude looks like a lady" its the only thing that stops my skin crawling

Otherwise its the typical run down:

Turisas,
Amorphis,
Epica,
Lord of the Rings Soundtrack,
Demons and Wizards
Random anime fight music...

It looks okay to me, but i'd not allow the champ to fire it. Equally not a great fan of either upgrade. I get the fluff I but think giving DE easy access to flaming shooting (which they currenly lack) is way way too good. Poison on warmachine type shooting has never sat well with me either but of th...

Oh Tom come on, you should know better than to Listen to me. Anyone fancy match up analysis for the list: we're possibly going to pair completely randomly but it would probably give the woodie and demon player a better weekend if we don't so: Worst match ups for the Dark Elfs as I see it: Empire Sha...

Flaming if your not running it somewhere else maybe?

Mostly murder.

You Shut up Tom!

Oi you stop giving away the surprise!

Technically you would only killing blow on a 5 as the 6's become 7's most people I know play it the way you did and simply leave it as 6's.

Hmmm how likely is that.....Cant think of any barring maybe ogres.

Purp sun baby

PS. Chris is a cheese eating surrender monkey - BWUAHAHAHA the power...

I call abuse! which is appropriate on a dark elf forum.

Yeah i guess usernames are easier monsewer beans

I've got game against a pretty typical empire list lined up for monday, so one by one we shall beat every list Ichiyo posted up...

Well as long as I'm helping beanz test the death of a thousand cuts list I guess i'll join the league.

Thats a weird feeling >.>

Death by a Thousand Cuts vs. Orcs N Gobbos ========================================== Orcs N Gobbos ------------- General: Chris Stokes (SOW) Savage Orc Warboss (NGGS) Night Goblin Great Shamman (BO) Black Orc BSB (SOS) Savage Orc Shaman (SOB) 28 Savage Orc Big'uns (NG) 30 Night Goblins (SH) 30 Squi...

You forgot to mention Blood and Glory. As beans noted BnG is easy and can largely be ignored as a consideration. The forward tight deployment actually supports this army. If no one breaks then its to VPs but with death it is easy for the list to take generals/bsbs then ping off a unit or two to mak...

As a major part of the list writing process (and the evil git who blew him up in the second battle rep) I suppose I should post something smart here Firstly the list doesn't work like a 'standard' eighth ed list. This will most likely win or lose in turns 1-3 based on whether cal can destroy the oth...

Having never taken any kind of dreadlord ever I support this initiative.

Of course I don't actually play Dark Elves so i support a move to taking no dark elves at all

Looks like you got away with a few mistakes here but it does help to highlight why this list works, which quite a few people seem to be missing. Most 8th ed armies only have a character and 1-2 units that are of any threat to the list. This makes prioritising and removing these elements easy then it...
