Yeah they are a hard army to beat no doubt, but doable. I finished up with 5 wins and a draw (winning draw... ), so undefeated, but not 6 wins. Plus the tournament was comped, and the winner (Tomb Kings) and runner up (Star Dragon HE's) both recieved bonuses over my comp. As for the games, im not su...

Ended up going for Fire on the Lvl4 and Dark on the Lvl2. Magic was a bit of a fizzer though. The Lvl4 didnt roll up Wall of Fire or Conflagration, and my opponent had a ridiculous amount of dispel dice. He also had 18 power dice, so there was a fair bit coming back the other way! Managed to get a 1...

The Lifetaker and FF dont have good synergy on paper, but in game they have worked very well for me. Lifetaker maims light cav units, and with the DP usually hanging out on the flanks, she can threaten any light units on the flank while also staying out of LOS of any of the nasty stuff. Ive only los...

Thanks for the reply, thats really good summary. I think I will go with Fire on the Lvl4 - seems the best option for damage output. Plus with the FF and DP I can make good use Burning Head (in case I roll it). I doubt he will be running two units of Flamers, but I think Dark will be the best option ...

Best lore against Daemons?

Hey all. Ive got a game coming up against a Daemon army, and im struggling to work out which lore to take. I dont know the exact details of his army, but I thinks its mainly a Khorne/Tzeentch force. Im going to be running a Lvl4 on DP with the Focus Famliar, Lifetaker and Power Stone, plus a Lvl2 on...

Shadowblade query

Hey, had a game with Shadowblade today and a rules question came up. Does Shadowblade count as charging the turn he appears? I deployed him in my opponents Cannon, and after wiping the crew out, we werent sure if he could overrun or not. I checked the FAQs but couldnt find anything.

Any ideas?

Ive played in 3 tournaments with the first list (minus Shadowblade and a RBT), and I honestly think the magic phase is at a point where its almost broken. Ive seen people running 6-8 levels of DE magic with the Dagger, and its just brutal. Magic seems to be heading that way though, hence the extra d...

Yeah I can see what you mean, but ive been fairly successful with a simiar list at 2250 (normal Assassin instead of SB, only one RBT), and the lack of troops has never been a problem. The army is very elusive as is, and a unit of Witches would kinda comprimise that. That said, this was my original e...

Hey all. There is a tournament coming up in my local area, and its a bit larger than your regular ones (2500 compared to our standard 2250). I was flicking through the DE book last night, and came across Shadowblade. He looks like a lot of fun to use, but not the most optimal choice - 2 Assassins ar...

A unit of 10 Corsairs with RHB is the perfect unit to protect a flank. They can clog up a fair bit of space, and they essentially bar any fast cav or flyers from using that flank to encircle your army. I also use a unit to screen my Black Guard. They can absorb a fair bit of light missile fire, and ...

Nice army you've got there. But still... Druchii not drows. Even though the grey skin looks rather neat on your models. I never set out to paint them as Drow, it just happened. My test model had normal Elf skin tones, but it just looked completely out of place. The Drow look was the only way to go....

Yeah the colour scheme isnt going to appeal to everyone. I wanted to go with a very monotone look though, hence the lack of contrasting colours. Blue, metal and shades of white/black are the only colours in the army. Ive been wanting to give a limited palette army a crack for a while, its certainly ...

Hey all. About 6 months ago I started painting a Dark Elf army, as ive always loved the models. I started a bit of a blog on here, but it quickly fell by the wayside. A while ago I decided to take the army to an upcoming tournament (starts tomorrow), so needed to finish painting it. I decided I want...

Is it worth focusing the whole armies shooting onto the Thirster though? With Juggers, Flamers, and any fast Slaanesh stuff on the table, focussing solely on the BT could lead to a quick demise. Is it possible to ignore the BT and focus on killing the rest of the army? Or is he just too much of a ki...

The old list requires more tactics to win with, hence why he will be made a better player. The new list contains a lot of no-brainers, the old list was nearly devoid of these.

Yeah I had a think about the RoH and you might be right. I should be able to keep the SS out of range of it, but once the armies engage it creates a big bubble where I cant support my units. No Word of Pains on units/characters fighting the BG would be a big disadvantage. If I drop it, I have an ext...

I agree that the Lifetaker is better on the Lvl2, but I have already converted up a sweet model for the Lvl4 holding the Xbow. The conversion worked really well, so im loathe to change it. Selfish reasons I guess. I ran a Null Talisman on the BG last tournament, and it never came into play once. I s...
