I get it. Elves were strong in 8th. "You are right. In 8. the Druchii were too easy, it spoiled the fun to play. For me that easy pushing forward of our elites was not the Dark Elven style of cunning warfare...(which also included some risk and bad odds). " Have you read the scroll or pla...

They didn't balance it. Dread elves seem to be the weakest book right now by a fair margin with only one type of list finding success (cauldron deathstar+chariots+ support) being truly competitively viable. Our magic is terrible(miscasts destroy us disproportionate to other armies, our sorcerecces o...

Funnily enough a warlock bus would fail completely against my standard high elf opponent.. 4++ is good and all but it doesn't stand up to a medium sized unit of sisters of avelorn if they get to shoot first. They stand up better than sisters do to the doombolts/shooting your army has. Turns out sis...

I think in the end it's up to your best judgement to sort out the meta. However, if you. Are really worried about elves, I would go for a level 4 dark or even fire for the magic missiles and make the lvl2 metal. Dark is fantastic vs everyone, and has killer spells. Doombolt is the best. Chillwind al...

If you are worried about your opponents filth shooty list, take a bunch of brolocks with a couple characters and dark magic and ram it down their throats. Doombolts take them off. Even chillwind takes them off. And our characters can kill anything they throw at us. Support that with darkshards, dark...

I think as others have said you either go 5's or wayyyy bigger like 10-20. They are invaluable in my opinion in almost every matchup because of a couple of reasons. They are good chaff/anti chaff. They shoot well and so are effective every turn. They also outfight the vast majority of other chaff ou...

4 bolt throwers, some shades to control his deployment and shoot him if you get the chance, and a brolock bus with a bunch of characters. Also, dark magic. Doombolt, chillwind, word of pain, shroud, and vlack horror wreck him. And dark riders. I would go super mobile and try and be in his face turn ...

Can you hear yourself ? You are defending unlimited magic by saying that every player should build his list just against this single overpowered spell (not even lore, but spell...) which most armies can abuse. This is totaly short-sighted because by doing so you are ignoring all other threats the a...

because 6 dice purple sun can win you agame turn one. Easily. I can recall at least two games, one in a tournament, Where a first turn purple sun won me the game. The tourny game was vs ogre in meeting engagement and I had a relatively shooty list, and so he deployed on the line and rushed forward. ...

The only thing I don't like is the peglord because I feel the cavalry version is so much better with the stength 7 for going through tough things.

Also, why so many level 4's with the other trickster's shard? Don't get why you would want her anywhere near combat.

I love the french list. Amazing

Alright some major threadomancy here. I've played heaps of games and gone to some tournaments, so I thought I would do a report on a local tourny I went to. It was 2400 with very light comp except for on powerdice all played on a 20-0 scale for victory point while playing all the scenarios except ba...

I am super excited for the lizardmen fight!!!

Congrats on the win. Dark elves do horrible, horrible things to vc.

Sweet thanks. This is exactly what I thought. I should have used the example of a steed dreadlord and 3 pegasi masters in a unit of 10 brolocks with a champ but this is like how I read it too.
Cheers

Hi, I've been makingetc list and I have some questions on how ourpegasi masters work. Can a pegasi make way for another character? My intitial reaction is no because they aren't rank and file, but could combat reform. How many supporting attacks do pegasi riders get? If they join a unit of fast cav,...

I would switch light to dark and get either more shooting (shades are ace) or more witches in there. Dark is amazing vs elves. Doombolt, word of pain, chillwind, shroud, black horror, and even soul stealer will make wwoodies cry. doombolt will erase units, especially if cast from near the cauldron w...

Run life. 6 dice dwellers. Gg

Make either bleakswords or darkshards honestly. Spears are dreadful.
Bleakswords are a good bunker with parry and good with the sac dagger.
Darkshards are amazing with fantastic ranged output and a huge threat zone.
Dreadspears are good for the sac dagger and mindrazor-- as are the other two.

Witches are akin to small hand grenades. Throw small units of them at the enemy and they either draw heaps of attention or hit a unit and do a suprising amount of damage.
Corsairs are better in a steadfast/grind role because of the armor, but honestly as an elf you don't really want to grind.

Get more dark riders. They are incredible. They kill chaffc redirect, and are almost alway where they need to be with feigned flight and fast cav. That will help you to no end. I recently ran a fairly similar list to your and got 3rdwitha hugewitch deathstar, and then heaps of shooting and chaff.

I think a better elite steadfast breaker would be 10 or 15 sisters with a bloodwrack shrine, war banner. Run it at big units and win every time.

Probably the best, but also potentially the riskiest, would be to hide all of your characters behind the bro with the charmed shield and pray that he doesn't fail it. This assumes though that you can get in a position to charge and only be shot at by 1 cannon. Light is good vs cannon lines. Net disa...

I second lore of light. Phas is amazing in general and can save your cauldron from cannons. Also, net of amyntok is probably the best spell in the deck with the ability to either try and limit casters or instantly stop a warmachine from firing or moving is invaluable!

I think you'll have trouble vs 4 bolt thrower avoidances lists and super in your face combat warriors, but if you like it and think it's good, go for it and learn it inside out.

Not in 6th and most of 7th.

I use mine to control the board and force my opponent into a small area. Also, to kill chaff and warmachines and finally, for cheeky rear and flank charges in combination with fighty units. I run 3 units of 5 sades with great weaponsw which costs 270, so cheap and cheerful.
