Any balanced DE army will deal with that.

Level 3/4 taking Lore of Meatal for all the no armour save spells. Take a level four with the tome if you want to be really sure of getting Spirit.

Level 2 if you like magic and are capable with it.

BSB - dark steed, ha, sdc, shield, soulrender, pendant will deal with one unit of knights if neccessary.

ASF BG are a natural option.

2 units 10 rxbs and 5 DRs with rxbs will sort out the Marauders

Bolt throwers will work on everything.

Harpies top march block and redirect.

The key is to slow him down while you weaken the units before he charges. If he puts his characters into the knight units you are immediately randomising to hit when you shoot as the unit champion does not count as a rank and file member. This increases your chances of wounding them with all kinds of missiles and damage spells.

Oh and don't forget the Hydra.

I played the battle and everything went very smooth.
I took a lord on a chariot and gave him the pendant, HA, cloack end shield and chillblade.
2*5 harpies
5 dark riders rxbow
20 BK , FC with ASF with assasin (+D3A and KB)
2*10 RXbow, no shields or FC.
2* lvl 2 sor. + 2 dispelscrolls (metal lore)
1 chariot
1 hydra

The result was one dead hydra and a dead unit rxb.
His loss: everything. He lost everything. My assasin took two of the challenges and killed them all.
The metal lore worked perfect, killing knights by the drove.
The marauders/doggies were shot down and two unit marauders were slaughtered by the dark riders.
The giant went down from a joint charge of the two chariots.
The rest of the knights bit their teeth to pieces on my chariots.

With a little luck from the dice gods I did a nice massacre and the lands of the Druchii are safe for another day.

Really, the Warriors of Chaos look scary on paper with their high armor save and combat power, but they are hard pressed to be a balanced Druchii force. We have more tools for dealing with them effectively than they do of us. Congrats on your win.

Balanced DEs for the win!

Well done.
