Terror is downed played and since its classed as a war machine its never gonna charge anyone anyways so why bother to have that rule I'll repeat what others have pointed out in regards to that one previously. Terror has the benefits of fear too, ie your six opponents attacking the CoB could possibl...

Yea considering you don't get the wizard level as a bonus to cast for bound items, so you'd either throw two dice to make sure it goes off, or else throw a die and risk a 50 50 chance of getting it, makes it worthless too because its power level is the same as the cast level of the unbound version. ...

Yeah...Dragon charge - turn 1! The steeds fly move effectively happens in the remaining moves phase. So no charges. With the Dark Elves having a bit of a vulnerability to warmachines, my plan is to drop a master on chariot into position to threaten my opponents warmachines. Steed of Shadow engages ...

Indeed a measly 3+ save on your BSB is not a good idea. I usually equip mine with Armour of Darkness and Crimson Death for 1+ sv and 3x str6 attacks for a little bit of punch. Or you can opt for a ward save talisman of a sort, since there's so many new spells and equipment that'll either bypass your...

A large group of RXB like in your case, it's definitely worthwhile to have a standard because you can reform them into 5x4 and engage into combat with them. Given shields they'll benefit from the parry rule by using hand weapon and shield combo in combat. A 6+ ward save may not seem like much, but i...

8th ed 3000pts balanced list

This list is aimed at keeping it friendly whilst effective in a competitive environment. It revolves around the idea of how cool it'd be to have a horde formation of executioners walking around. I'm also a sucker for magic, taking advantage of PoD to dominate the magic phase, especially on turns whe...

This one is just for shits and giggles that came up as I was writing my list. I've always pondered on how amusing it'd be having a combat sorc as a nasty surprise to the unwary, with some buffers it'd be more sinister. Supreme Sorceress - (name) lv3/4 doesn't matter Whip of Agony Black Dragon Egg Po...

The Silent Assassin Dreadlord - Deathpiercer, Armour of Darkness, Pendant of Khaleth and Other Tricksters Shard, Dark Steed. 1+ save, pendant ward, kililng blow and force opp to reroll ward saves. Varient would be to use Crimson Death. I like that build, it's nasty and is a very nice combination. T...

Charging multiple units into a gunline will increase the chance of making contact too since they'll only panic one unit with a stand and shoot!

Indeed, it's great that DE's have access to a lot of unit champion upgrades that can quite easily take up that underdog VP bonus. CoB KB buffer just about makes any measly champ up to the task!

I've always been under the impression that it was one magic armor regardless of whether it was a shield or armour or helms now. Also, on the topic of using PoK to save the sorc from miscasts, you could use the DP to fly you near enemy formations, trigger a miscast and pray a S10 template pops up to ...

it is indeed an interesting list, you've got a lot of flanking units/support charge units which would go great with those BG's and spearmen for some devastating combined charges. Though you probably won't get much disruption opportunity since losing one DR/COK in your 10man units will deny that. Unl...

As destruction said, you should definitely merge the RxB into a bigger unit. I'd recommend sticking them all together to form a block of thirty to take full advantage of your guiding eye. There's a great discussion thread in the tactics section that covers the use of thirty RxB with guiding eye and ...
