I like that spot. Since we're a legacy army, we are at risk of getting locked out if we're too powerful, or being ignored if we're too weak.
For my local gaming group, this is also a good spot. You don't want to have to hold back... too much.

Re: First Dark Elves battle ever TOW
Welcome! Thanks for the report. I quite agree on the Crossbows - they feel useful, especially against lightly armoured troops. I'm not sure that that larger units will prove effective since they need such a wide frontage. Maybe 1 or 2 small units will be popular. Magic seems fickle, all around. One ...

Re: TOW - 3.000 Point vs High Elves
If you can stretch the budget to 9 Shades, you add a tad more resilience to panic. Otherwise, 6 or 7 are good enough. Great weapons are powerful, without a doubt, but I'd be very wary of losing the initiative. It really depends on who your opponent is, but generally I would favour the safety of stri...

Re: TOW - 3.000 Point vs High Elves
Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience yet to give it an accurate assessment. I see "everything" in this list: mobility, combat power, shooting, magic, a dragon. It looks good. The only thing I'm missing is a heavy flanker or charge support from cold one knights or chariots. But thi...

Re: Coming up with new builds for our armies
I think the character choices will be a challenge. It seems like a lot of comps or smaller armies are limited to a single Lord. The Supreme Sorceress offers a whole world of magic power over a level 2 caster, but she doesn't even have Ld9. So it looks like we may have either of: A supreme sorceress ...

Re: DRAICH - Dark Rider Tactics
Thank you so much for reviewing it. That's a very good point. The Accidental charge rule is going to lead to some surprises and peculiar situations. The distances will play a big role here. The distances in the setup I described are: 5.7" between the enemy unit and the black guard, at minimum. ...

Re: [TOW] The Curse of Nehekhara
Some test models - I tested with varying degrees of thinning the contrast paint, only to find that it works quite well in pure form. Good enough, anyway
I may have mildly overbrushed the models, so they appear paler than I hope to get on the rest of them.

Re: DRAICH - Dark Rider Tactics
Blocking the Line Hammer Although I doubt Line Hammer will become a thing, it's been the topic of many online debates. I think a single dark rider unit can block such a unit quite easily. This tactic differs from regular flee tactics, in the sense that it relies on using the angle of the flee direc...

Re: DRAICH - Dark Rider Tactics
When using flee tactics with multiple units, we can push these tricks to a point where rolls become irrelevant. The double flee before the counter charge Two units of dark riders can screen a combat unit, preventing it from being charged. For example, you can screen a black guard unit by placing 2 d...

DRAICH - Dark Rider Tactics
Preamble TOW is still relatively new, and I find that I still have to learn and explore many facets of the game. I thought it would be interesting to revisit the Dark Rider tactics, both to update the article that highlights their value, and as an exercise to go over the rules and details. The prev...

Battle Chronicler - and maybe something new?
We used to make old battle reports in battle chronicler, but it looks like the program hasn't had an update in a very long time. It still seems to work on windows 10 however. That's a wonderful thing. But is the program still in style? Or have new alternatives come up lately? I plan to make an occas...

Urgh. I was sure I had read it twice that the banner applied to all weapons, but you are correct: it only works on combat weapons. The banner is wasted on the crossbows.

Re: [PLOG] Restoring my Old World Dark Elves
To get my elves into battles quickly, I went with base converters. I find that the spacing between the models looks good. I was afraid it would look weird but it's quite nice, even for older models like these crossbow warriors. I am not convinced to rebase them yet, considering how much work that wo...

Re: Speculating on Dark Elves based on High Elf List
Some of these speculations were right. But it is unfortunate we didn't get a fleet master. I feel like they never really got that one right though.

Re: The Old World - Dark Elves Legacy Army List
My thoughts on the Dark Elves. Overall, I like the PDF and legacy support that the dark elves are given. At first glance, the rules feel appropriate and flavourful. The units look and feel as if they are in line with what you'd expect from Dark Elves. It is difficult for me, at this point anyhow, to...
