Hey all.
Just thinking about my dark elf army. Currently trying to run it as a watchtower patrol, but trying to find the points for a secon mage seems to have been a bit of trouble. However, was having a think and came across the idea of 2 beastmasters on dark pegasi (l.armour, lance, s.d.c and 25 magic item each) and 2 sorceress's on steeds (both lvl 2, both 1 dispel scroll, 1 with tome, other cloak).
Obviously this would mean that I'd be using a wizard for my general, but not overly bothered with that.
What are peoples experiences with this kind of setup? any hints or tips?
Da
Cheers
Dan

I personally think that the combo is kinda useless as niether really compliments each. Each is lacking in Close Combat ability, and the model as a whole cannot even break ranks.
So really, I must that you are better with the big boy, the Manticore!
I guess the BM on Peg could hunt War Machines, but I would rather use an assassin or Dark Riders.
2 Attacks plus 2 attacks = not much chance of accomplishing the mission.

You can't use an assassin in a watchtower patrol list. Every model has to be mounted somehow.

Never thought of the option myself.
It's cheaper then a noble on a peg.
Isn't as hard hitting as the noble or the manti.
At the other hand,
a manti costs 190pnts,
For 190 pnts you get two beastmasters on a peg.
Two BM's on a peg give you 8 attacks, where one BM on a Manti gives you 6.
I think it's worth giving a try.
Let me know how it works out.
