BEST reason imaginable!! Priceless

So we can slaughter your army, take you captive and sacrifice you.

HAHAHA ... sound advice

Or take a look at the various threads on this very site ... all good examples of the versatility and great possibilities in the druchii!

I think you've created a really nasty army, that'll make for great wins and not too many friends You've also created a very vulnerable force that will have trouble against a great deal of the more popular armies, eg. VC and DoC. They more than anything has the means to counter your Hydras, tie up yo...

Great ... excellent stuff - so how many points have you amassed now?

@Dalamar: I didn't say NEW choices - now did I I do know what you are aiming at though and I for one thought it to be somewhat "gutless" as well, but on the other hand I think my critique got lost in the fact that GW actually brought darkness into the powerless light that used to shine on ...

let's hope it resolves the "issues" and doesn't create new ones As it has become custom for our dear GW employees!! (Who really aren't THAT bad ... at least not THAT bad ). Added: BUT they really have cleaned things up a bit since back when they seriously didn't give a FAQ! Mod edit: doub...

Then I suppose you'll have some real nasty issues with Brettonia Grail Knights?

MUCH MUCH MUCH better now ... especially if it is meant for melee! Also have in mind that the CoB is awesome when used with BG's and the Hydra. Don't you use the ring of Darkness twice? Yes because with the Empire I'm going to be facing a large amount of gunlines and with the Dwarfs.......Khaine on...

Name a Deamon Army with 450pts in Characters or a VC in that point range. Now that is another matter entirely ... DoC seems to have taken over the old Chaos trend (which is also found in the WoC) that characters are the backbone of the army - the same goes for VC (more so actually) ... if a charact...

You can mix it up with milliput to make it harder - 2:1 (Milliput:GS)

I wholeheartedly agree with you - even though I always find it hard to stay clear of the Lord choices (Especially in Magic Heavy armies - where it isn't even viable to make do without) .. but your points are right on the spot! DE players are really spoiled for choices!

Ahh ... don't know if it was obvious from the original post - that might just not have been the case - but I'm looking for opinions on choosing among the two lists (as an indication of what to paint for my new army) ...

Hi, So I'm currently involved in this new Tale of X Members ... (even if it aims for armies of 2000 points - I imagine my force finally will be 2250-2500 and thus eligible for most tournaments in the late 2009); as for now I'll leave at the minis at my disposal and thus I've created 2 very different...

Why would I be inclined to charge the corsairs whith anything worthwhile when the BG are just behind? Also, the shooting from the corsairs really is not that impressive, 10 S3 shots with a range of 8 is not gonna scare anyone, especially since they can't march and shoot. Also, harpies are IMO, bett...

I think it would be great if they tried out a match-up with the Lizzies - how about DE vs. Lizzies?? Even though it might not be the background of epic battles it sure is WFB'ish.

When making a 500pts force you can't use a Lord character - even though the Tale of X members isn't exactly an exercise in army building, I still believe the objective was to make legal armies (albeit expanding over the course of time) for 500pts, then 1000pts, then 1500pts and finally 2000pts (when...

You really need something to tie the scales together with the main body - so either wash heavily in the overlapping areas or try making the flesh colour a bit darker.

I think you need to fit in a hydra - they are just awesome. I think your units are awfully small: 12 Corsairs? Get rid of those - Get your Xbow-men down to 10 and deploy them in 1 line. I think you need a unit of shades for the Assassin! You don't really have that much to use your CoB on - either go...

In both your lists - why do you use 10 BG's?? I haven't used them before and thought that maybe 10 was an ok number? I need an infantry unit that can hold against the nastier Dwarf troops. 10 will not nearly be enough ... for some real Hack'n'Slash I believe you need a somewhat revised list! You've...

I like your 20 man BG unit, but then again it is no secret that I'm a Die Hard fan of the Naggarond Elites!! Secondly, where is your CoB?? I think you'll need it to make your units really matter - that'll make a HUGE difference for not only the BG's, but also the 2 Warrior units.

Eeerhhh ... where is your magic defence? I'd say you'll get a nasty surprise vs. Daemons, VC's and probably also our Ulthuan cousins ... you need a caddy and/or the RoH: Preferably both. I think I'd put your Lord and master on Dark Steeds over Cold Ones, unless they both are meant to be in a unit of...

AoW will work really nicely with the rest of your army! And both models are awesome!

What a great read - awesome reports mate! Congrats on the good results (4 wins and 2 draws is exceptionel!)
