Just checking in to say, that the forum looks very good! Nice work!

The only way you can do this is make the knights smaller, remove one Hydra and get something cheaper instead (more Harpies, a Chariot, or Shades), or remove the Master BSB and hand the BSB over to the Death Hag. You could also think about replacing the 3x Null Talisman with Seal of Ghrond. Null Tali...

The small rulebook is pretty cool.

If you are worried about buying it off ebay you can also take the different route and buy the box and sell everything but the rulebook on ebay.

It's pretty common for tournament rules to change this part.

I pretty much always give a Death Hag the Manbane plus Rune of Khaine combo.

While it's not very innovative, it does work.

Yeah, it is usually a good idea to dispel Throne of Vines.

If it gets through... dispel it again on your turn.

Still the best (IMHO).

Is this here the comp system used?

Here's a slightly altered 2500 pts list with the above limitations included. 277 Dreadlord on Cold One with Soulrender, Heavy Armor, Sea Dragon Cloak, Dragonhelm, Pendant of Khaeleth, Crown of Command 345 Supreme Sorceress Level 4 (Death) with Lifetaker, Sacrificial Dagger, Seal of Ghrond 185 Sorcer...

(and a sneaking suspicion that he's tryingto pull a fast one on me). There are a lot of powerful choices in that list (like the Level 4 Shadow, or the Dual Hydra, or the Executioner Horde, or multiple units of Harpies), so based on that I think he is offering you genuine advice. Everyone has slight...

An assassin with rending stars/manbane + flaming attacks in an awesome idea! Although after the first time he will know exactly where the assassin is going to be if I have a flaming banner ... Well, he won't know where the banner is, though, until you use it for the first time (which in this setup,...

Depends on the rest of your army.

I generally like the Whip of Agony (esp. in combination with Standard of Hag Graef).

Ring of Hotek, as said above, is another favorite.

Dawnstone can also be nice.

I had great success against the HPA with a small unit of Witch Elves with the Eternal Flame banner, Manbane Hag and a Rending Stars/Manbane Assassin inside. Move towards it, throw stars, laugh at it, as it does not dare to come closer, because it knows it will simply perish. I guess a unit of Warrio...

ETC doesn't restrict flying units? Well...

Yeah, there are a lot of ways to play DE, because almost all of our choices are good. That's really great (and I truly hope, once the new armybook comes out, this is still the case). As seen, there is even disagreement about those "bad units" (i.e. Dark Riders, some people like them a lot ...

Yep.

Cannons and some of the catapults are bad (esp. since they are a bit easier to hit now, as there is no guessing anymore, and they hit both the rider and the beast), but apart from that, the dragon is still as resilient as ever and with the 1d6 extra hits against infantry now it can eat up a unit all...

I would also like to add, that a Hag with Manbane is a nice addition to a unit of Witch Elves (even though she is fragile, she can put quite a dent in tougher opponents). If you drop the PoK from the Supreme Sorceress you could pick up the Seal of Ghrond for some extra magic defense (which might mak...

There is basically nothing DR can do, which Harpies and/or Shades cannot do better (and for less points). The only reason to use them (to me) is to fill Core pts (though Warriors and RXB are generally better for that) and to have even more such units (warmachine hunters/diverters/deployment slots) i...

Yeah, some of those Lego builds are really awesome.

The good thing with DE is, that a lot of builds are competitive. The only units in the whole book, that are sub-par are Dark Riders and Reapers. But generally, the big stuff is the L4 Shadow|Death with Dagger, the CoB BSB, the Lord with Pendant/Crown ideally on a flying mount, Witches Horde with AP|...

Why is the unit size capped at 20, you mean in the army book I assume? Yep, BG still are 0-20 thanks to 7th edition armybook. I see there is a shift towards large cavalry units, COKs I have seen in tons of armies!! Is cavalry really that good now? No, cavalry is weaker than it was in 7th edition, b...

Looks pretty nasty...

I would definitely drop one unit of Dark Riders for 2 units of Harpies, though.

And you want a champion in that COK unit. If anything, he can be useful to accept/issue challenges.

Looks like ETC rules. In the german tournament scene the army composition rules are quite a bit more restrictive. It's not hard to build a very competitive army with those rules. 445 Level 4 (Dark Magic) with Lifetaker, Sacrificial Dagger, Seal of Ghrond 225 CoB BSB -or- 183 Master on CO BSB with So...
