New 2500 Point DE List with Life
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2015 2:42 am
Hi Guys...
Although I'm not that new to Warhammer fantasy, I am still struggling to find a good list to play in tournaments. The reason for this is that in South Africa the Meta keeps on changing due to a couple of players that are really creative and find the most broken combo's. For example the strongest army use to be WOC with Demon Prince and Juggernauts, then got changed to WE with all their shooting when they received their new book, now it a bit of everything with a vampire army (Vampire bus) and HE army (Silverhelms, Dragon princes, Phoenix Guard, Eagles, and so forth, all being buffed by Shadow and High magic) in there as well.
The list below is me trying to counter all of that but still playing to my strengths, will explain my reason for each unit below list:
Lords: (250)
Supreme Sorceress: Level 4 (Life)
Opal Amulet
Scroll of Shielding
Heroes: (557)
Sorceress: Level 1 (Dark)
Dispel Scroll
Dark Steed
Master: Halberd
Heavy Armour
Sea Dragon Cloak
Dark Steed
Talisman of Preservation
Charmed Shield
BSB
Death Hag: Cauldron of Blood
Core: (625)
Dark Riders (x8): Shields
Crossbows
Standard Bearer
Dark Riders (x7): Shields
Crossbows
Standard Bearer
Witch Elves (x25): Full Command
Special: (878)
Shades (x6): Great Weapons
Musician
Standard Bearer – Eternal Flame
Shades (x5): Musician
Cold one Chariot:
Cold one Chariot:
Executioners (x20): Full Command
Bolt thrower:
Bolt thrower:
Rare: (200)
Warlocks (x8)
Total: 2500
Ok... so the idea is that the Master and sorceress joins the Warlock unit. Using Power to Darkness from lvl 1 sorceress to add dice to pool and buffing the unit. The SS will go into the executioner block providing buffs with life magic to the block as well as to the witch elf unit. The shades and dark riders will provide the army with some kiting ability and distraction while allowing the witches and executioners to move across the field and into combat, with the chariots hopefully hitting in the flanks.
The only thing I'm unsure about is the executioners as the HE and WE will go straight through them with ASF. (I think), just wondering if Black Guard might not be a better option.
Tell me what you guys think
