well, there is in my opinion a difference between a 20 big unit and a 50 big unit (not just in point costs) a template on a 50 big one wil almost always still hit it with a decent scatter, where it will miss a 20 big one. e.g. on a 50 big unit, indirect fire is not just viable, it will work wonders,...

Guinea is right on the PD, not on the magic resistance thou magic resitacne will add to her wardsave vs magic spells that allows for saves, and will even give the unit she is in that wardsave due to MR, but this is not applyable to miscast wounds. pagasus mounted cahrs are allowed to join other unit...

you sure can do this, but why would you take 20 BG then? i mean, a DP master can do with just 5 or 6 BG for the stubborn tests as well (actually, 1 would be enough even, but you cannot deploy just one of them). do keep in mind those BG are not allowed any command at all for this to work. problems yo...

no need to boost up the ini on an ASF unit at all, ASF hits the same time as ASF, no matter the Ini (yes, poor assassins). magic protection vs High elves is always nasty, this due to the book of hoeth and teclis rules who will alway irrestible on any double. you have enough magic power to wether his...

well, If you will know you go against HE, dont do deathstars, the hoethed life archmage is quite a popular choice, and will make mincemeat out of a deathstar. but then, i am no deathstar fan vs anything.

looks quite fine with me, one small change i would suggest: drop the champion in the CoK, drop the shields on warriors and either add a few more warriors to the block with sac dagger on SS to get in there, or add another unit of harpies. good choice on lores, 3 shadow spells give ye some debuffs, da...

illegal on your sorc, dispel scroll and darkstar cloak are both arcane. dunno how many execs you have there. If you are going for a mostly shooting set up as you do here, I would suggest to use the lores of metal and fire instead. those spells have both a nice augment on shooting (flaming sword and ...

the hydra banner does NOT confer an ability (like, extra attack), it grants a bonus statistic (att + 1), under certain conditions, namely the turn they charge. since cavalry have 2 att statistics, this clarification is in order (like the OnG banner of butchery gives + 1 att one time for the riders o...

kain, yes, i agree, the chariot also has lost thou, the massive damage on a first turn charge is useless against steadfast units. where you could reliable rout a unit with a 2 chariot charge in 7th edition, or with a combine chariot DR unit, that option is gone. also, with the almost dissapearance o...

well, if he is your regular opponent, try (for once) an assassin with venom sword, that will take out cairn wraths np (esp with a banshee in it to challenge and overkill every turn again).

feedback scroll is nice for the psychological aspect, and as such actually only in open lists or against regular opponents. dont count on a feedback scroll to kill off a mage, count on it to keep him from using to much dices on a casting roll. less dices used = bigger chance on failing to make the c...

our mounts in the 8th edition

well, I believe our mounts have gotten quite some different roles in this edition, so lets analyze them one for one and try not to keep their drawbacks out of the 7th edition in mind, since lots of those aint valid anymore. Dark steed: this used to be a nice mount for a master on a mission, 18"...

I dont think giving shooting weapons to flying models is that worthwile anymore, since flyers make march moves now as well, so the shooting opportunities are a lot less in 8th edition. and i am a big fan of giving the BoEF to a corsair unit, great for them to assault buildings or mess up with regenn...
