Hey guys / girls. I was wondering what special units is good in a 1000pts army?
I was thinking about CoK and Executioners and maybe shades.
So what do you all think about that..
And what about heros? Is a sorceress good in 1k army?
Or shall i take a nobel only or both?

Really comes down to what you expect to face. Hard to go wrong with chariots. I find that executioners need a babysitter (Noble) in the unit, if you expect them to win combats on their own.

You might find it difficult to get your pts worth out of magic in 1K, but some people swear by it. Unless I'm fighting dwarves or wood elves I almost always take a unit of Shades.

How big is the shade unit?

I typically use a unit of between 5-7. I find 2 units of 5 work much better than a single unit of 10.

1)i would take some dark riders they're our best unit (and core)
2)if those spear elves are your anvil (and i think they are) then i wiuld take something as a hammer unit executioners hit hard , COK hit harder but they're stupid and expensive,wich elves have no armour and low strength so not always best choise and COC well just like COK but less expensive.
3)if you take a sorceress hide it in the crossbow elves.
