I ended up with 2 1800pt Dread Elf armies, and each even have a bit of a theme. Niether are optimized but it...

Wilderness. Beast within is a ridiculous buff for CoK's.

Re: 8th edition: 2000 points vs Dwarven gunline

I play dwarven gun lines often. Morathi surprisingly isn't the worst choice as you can choose nearly four perfect signature spells. A Missile that can actually kills dwarves (and Gyros if they showup), cheap BS modifier, sniper spell for artillery or runesmiths, and a way to generate more strength a...

9th - 2000 points

So I've got a game soon v dwarves. I want to solve the synergies of black magic, I rarely take it but I want to be true to our birth for once and figure out how to use it effectively. I'm trying a few other things as well. So here's what I've got. 2001pts. (friendly 2k) LORDS/HEROES: Dread Prince Ge...

Re: Dealing with fast hard hitters

@ tehnico: Good job! But it is another example why I consider such forces hard to crack. I think that your opponent could have basically either bunkered in a corner hoping for a drawish result or raced right towards your big points (if you had some), trying to break through before you encircle him....

Re: Whence comes the information about Skaven-Dark Elves tre

No rats in Naggaroth... The Druchii are Albertans, confirmed.

Oddly enough, in the alliance rules of the last BRB any alliance with the DE or Skaven were considered 'Fragile'. The alliance benefits dwindle as the game goes on.

I recently played a game where I was able to do this to my enemy quite successfully. I fielded a Pegasus Prince, Raptor Cpt., Raptor Knights, and Raptor Chariot... all performed top notch. The Chariot took out a Gyro Bomber, Organ Gun, and Anvil of Doom in the first three turns. Warlocks and a LVL2 ...

Re: 2K pts. vs. Dwarves, The 9th Age

Thanks for the report and good job! Just one rules comment. By the -1 Ld spell, do you mean the attribute? That is cast and dispelled together with the original spell - if I understand it correctly that your death magic hex was dispelled, the attribute should have not been in effect. I've never hea...

2K pts. vs. Dwarves, The 9th Age

Sorry, text only. I played my first serious 9th age game this afternoon. He brought a big block 25ish of kings guard with a character. A long gunline of 25ish dwarf crafted hand guns or some such with another character. A third big block of clansmen 25ish. An anvil of doom, an organ gun, and three g...

Re: 9th New Special Rules

Killer Habits - Already known minor buff. Cult of Blood , Cult of Lust , Cult Rivalry - I like the (fluff) idea, but we don't have that many units to actually let these rules trigger. Additionally the Sorceress does not really want to charge into combat to give +1 AP. Would be much better, if more ...

Re: AOS game discussions: strategies, tactics...

Got a question/idea. Shooting is really strong in AoS. Units of Darkshards can be any size. Why not deploy every model as a single +3 inches apart to prevent pile-in creep? Shooting and charging is only at single targets, one model or unit. Why not completely bog down all the hitting and firepower a...

Do this removal from combat trick if it's your opponents turn. Subsequently you can charge back and then reap any charge bonuses.

Getting Savage Beast off on four characters running solo will destroy most units, much less ones supported by a unit. It's nice you did so well and all, but that was a lucky break there.

So I'll just give the headlines on the tactics I used, not a battle report. I was supposed to fight O&G, but he didn't have enough models put together. 2000 pts. I made a Warlock BeastStar out of 4 masters, a LVL4 sorceress and 10 Warlocks with champion. Brought three units of 5 DR's, 3 RBT's, 1...

Re: What is the no comp net list?

The weakness of O&G lists is typically their leadership. So one way to beat them is with a lot of monsters that cause terror, if you have the minis for it. Hydras, K-Beasts, Manticores, and Dragons. Force as many Ld tests as you can. I have about 5000 points worth of Dark Elves... zero monsters...
