A huge congrad! You list was very balanced and it is really impressive to see an DE army do so well against such a wide range of players. I am also really suprised by the amount of power that 2 LV2 Wizards can pump out. I have shocked many players with a Master (Gen), COB(BSB), + 2 LV2s. The Amount ...

I intend to ask you if we can build up a competitive list without most of our obvious and stronger choices: in particular - pendant - assassins (with or without stars) - banner of hag graef - shades I do not use Assassins as they always find a way of dieing before they get there 160 points in. Again...

I use them like many here do. 6+Muso with a COB. The COB turns a unit that is basically just a Flank Charger into a unit that can beat the front of a Ranked up unit of Most non Elite Inf in a Charge. 6 Knights = 12 WS5 S6 Attacks (COB) re-roll misses> WS4 and below+ T4 and below > 10 Hits / 8 Wds + ...

Clive, true i love doing that to my mate but vampire players moan about the pendant more than most armies. Clive, so when is your next event and what versiona re you looking to use?? Ah the joy of being a parent (3 and 4 year old) means I am rationed as far as GT type events. But I should be going ...

just out of curiosity, how did you use your master? i figured the hag bsb was in the executioners, and the sorceress was chilling with some crossbowmen. was he in the big black guard unit? Yes he was with the BG. His role was to tie up big bad things with the pendent. I used to use a lord to do tha...

I agree with both of you about no being rushing in at all counts with a 500+ plus Dragon. But from what I have noticed at the US West coast Warhammer scene is: 1) Remember that we have comp over here and so most top tier players do not take Dragons. I have not scene a player with a large flying mons...

I usually do not take Large Targets besides the Hydra, but we have Manticores, and Dragons. But from what I seen, people rarely play Large Target creatures aggressive. Many a time I have watched a Dragon / BloodThirster maneuver for 3 to 4 turns before it charges anything, trying to get the flank ch...

Excellent point!

Thank you, but what does that mean?

Congrads! It sounds like there are very heavy armies out on the other side of the pond! You did great given what you had to play against. I always wonder why all DOC armies do not take the -2LD Banner as it universaly effects everyone in a major way as in comparison to other DOC banners. (BG LD 7 St...

From some of the threads it seems that everyone has interesting ideas of how to use war machines. For me the purpose of a war machine is: 1) Deal Damage at a long range so I get to hit targets that the close in fire support (RXB) do not have range. This is the Reach out and touch something in a nast...

Clive that is the point. The Daemon player sees the Hydra as an easy target so you feed it to him from a tantalising distance, and whilst he sends his Flamers off to decease the wandering Hydra you deal with the rest of his army. Smoke and mirrors. I expect the Hydra to die eventually but he provid...

Clive: the standard 2 tactics I employ are feed them the Hydra and use the pandant BSB. Both of which I have found to be highly successful in dealing with Flamers. But they would eat a hydra. All there attacks are flaming so the stand and fire from a charge alone would take it to 1/2 its wounds (6 ...

The opponent would lose the +1 CR for outnumbering but I do not think that it would change the basic if you lose and you are outnumbered by Fear, you auto break.

ta, Clive

I would not expect you to have a problem with Empire at all with your list. What is the army you find the most difficult to handle with your style of play, and in your gaming environments? Daemons. Ohhh I hate daemons. I do not know what to do against 2 units of 6 flamers. They just slaughter any D...

Have you played against Empire with 2x Mortars/Hell Rockets? It's very hard thing for Elves, a specially when you've got big units. No not yet. But I have played empire for years and know the army well. The Hell Rockets are really not a worry as the almost never hit. The Mortars are a bit of a prob...

How did the single RBT work out for you? I've always seen just one as a waste of points seeing as it usually takes two to make a dent in anything. And was it hard to keep things from outmanuevering you or was your shooting enough to keep the fast stuff at bay? Anyway great job, I might even try out...

I haven't seen anyone else use him. I would like to try him out, but as you have stated he is expensive. Damn expensive! Thanks for the insight though Clive. So judging by your comment you have used Kouran? Care to share? Well Lets see. We get Magic Weapon that allows for all attacks at S6, Armour ...

How do you rate Tullaris? Was he a magnet for any models left alive in combat to target/did he ever die? Did he earn his points back do you think? Basically is he worth it for primarily the fear factor, and how did he perform in challenges? Thats a hard question to answer. Basically I HATED having ...

Hey, clivegh, welcome in D.net! Compliments! This is your 4th post, in 2 threads that you both started, and you triggered immediately so much interest that no one paid attention to your low post count. That's not all: both thread found immediately their way into the D.R.A.I.C.H. You're intriguing m...

What's your thinking behind the unit of 7 BG? I have run a 14 and a 10 before . 7 was all I could afford. I would have taken the BG unit up to 20 (as it is almost impossible to get full VP from it), but I wanted better comp. Also 7 BG managed to beat, 20 x Skaven Clanrats, Maurader Fast Cav, 20 Gho...

Well the Dark Elf's managed to win overall at this years broadside Bash in Los Angeles Ca. The final score was very close between a VC army and mine, but battle points tiped the balance for me. Army: Characters = 690pts Master, SDC, HvyA, SHD, SoulRender, Pendant of K = General Sorceress, Lv1, 2 DS ...

I agree with you about Lords VS Heros. Its just that I am amazed that we an field something like 450pts in Characters and still be a very effective army in a GT. Thats amazing. Name a Deamon Army with 450pts in Characters or a VC in that point range.
