As someone who has recently dug out his old DE army of 6th, 7th and 8th ed. minis, this was a great read. Thank you.

I'm currently on a powerful nostalgiatrip, so I'm very coloured by that. I'm honestly hoping that they take the most inspiration from 7th ed. of the game. Looking back, 8th edition got too wacky with the magic and huge armies. Mind you, 7th wasn't perfect (It was dominated by cavalry, IIRC), but ple...

A loremaster and a special unit, perhaps. Phoenix Guard most likely. Looking foward to start painting/modelling again after a long hobby limbo.

Hey guys, I'm getting ready for a tournament and I've been play testing this list with my friend. I think it's fairly balanced, and it's done well verusu my friend's Warriors of Chaos. Let's see. LORDS Supreme Sorceress, lvl 4 with Dark Magic. 350 pts Focus Familiar, Pendant of Khaeleth, Black Drago...

I love it. It has just the style I was hoping for.

I've only been playing my friend's WoC Khorne/Tzeentch army. Control of the movement phase is, as usual, critical IMO . This involves baiting the frenzied stuff with dark riders and sacrificing units of harpies to get juicy charges. If an intact unit of Khorne Knights get to charge they'll cream wha...

Whenever I use a Dreadlord I put him in a big warrior block. Flanked by 15 Black Guard w/Soulrender and ASF and a BSB with Armour of Darkness and Ring of Hotek in another big block of warriors. This makes a pretty har centre. I kind of like spreading out the hard hitty stuff and try not to make a re...

surely 5-7 hatred KB attacks is not useless for killing characters Absolutely, my assassin has yet to fail in winning a challenge with killing blow, rune of khaine and the re-roll 1's thingy. I've used an assassin with rending stars and rune of khaine as a harasser and supporter versus my friend's ...

I used the Master BSB on Manticore with the Standard of Slaughter once versus my room mate's dwarfs. It worked wonderfully. I managed to avoid the biggest guns for most of the battle and got him into a couple of combats in which he performed wonderfully. He can generate a lot of combat resolution, b...

- Soulrender for my ASF Tower Master. He can really pack a punch.
- Lifetaker on a Sorceress. It's awesome versus skirmishers and the bane of dryads.

I've included a unit of 6 in every army list I've made since the new book came out. They usually hang around a wood, picking out vulnerable stuff and being a thorn in my opponent's side. They even got that epic flank charge that tipped a combat in my favour in my last game. Versatile indeed!

Aargh, so underwhelming. Too much retro going on here. I loved the 6th edition style of the armour, but it's all gone. Currently, the armour looks and feels very elven and unique. Now, with these new models, it's all gone. Damnit. Maybe it's the picture or the paint job, but at first glance I'm disa...

At the moment; New Corsairs, new Cold One Knights, Heroes and maybe a dragon converted from the High Elf kit.

I got the same feeling now as when the 6th edition DE were being released and I saw the Corsairs for the first time. It was such an improvement from 5th edition, they looked absolutely perfect. Now, does anyone else see that GW've been inspired by the 5th edition minis? The Corsair to the far left s...

Yes! Yes! Wow! The Corsairs look great! It's settled then, brand new corsairs for me. Not so keen on Dreadlord, though.

Haha, great model. Put her in a cauldron!

Irish beer is brilliant and Ireland is a beautiful country. While in Dublin I even visited the Guiness Brewery.
How come there is an Irish pub in EVERY country in the world? I bet you'd find an Irish pub in the bush of Botswana. Packed at 10 in the morning too.

I've currently got 20 Corsairs that I'm fairly happy with paint-job wise I'm definitley going to get the spearhead, so if the models turn out to be great, maybe it's time for my old ones to retire. Or maybe I'll start a brand new Corsair raiding force, I don't know. Before the release I'll get some ...

Wow! That looks excellent. I'm getting really excited for the new book and models.

The Dark Elves were my first army, so at the time the purple colour scheme was a no-brainer for me. I also kind of like it. But if I start a new army in august, I'll try something new for sure.

I'm a fan of the books and I think Long did a much better job on Manslayer than he did on Orcslayer. The endig of the latter disappointed me greatly (Mainly the villan). But it improved greatly with Manslayer, so I have complete faith in Long. Keeping with the current storyline, I wonder how G&F...

I'm very happy with the playing with deamonic forces-risk taking the new Druchii magic is moving towards. With a rumored miscast table and all. Very cool. The sacrifice one model for a power dice seems like a magic item, a sacrifical dagger perhaps?

I've seen my Witches slaughter and being slaughtered. One time against my friend and his High Elves, I got his Swordmasters right where I wanted them and got off a charge with the Witch Elves. Unfortunatly, his shooting phase prior to my charge had decimated them. Curse of Arrow Attraction-thingy an...

Witch Elves are awesome. I use 18 in 6x3 formation with a Hag with manbane. If it gets through it can tear a hole in the enemy.

Universal hatred would bring another element of "losing control" (besides stupidity) to the Dark Elf army, I don't like it. Stupidity I can handle, but not this. The army should be cold and calculating, not taking chances, in its strategy.
