2250 Dark Elves

Post by Dark apostle197 »

Dreadlord
Executioner’s Axe
Blood Armor 235

Level 2 Sorceress
2 Scrolls 185

Level 2 Sorceress
Tome
Seal 180

20 Spear elves
Shield
Full command
Warbanner 180

2x5 Dark Riders 170

2x10 RXBmen w/ shields 220

2x5 harpies 110

18 Black guard
Full command w/ Crimson death
Banner of Hag Graef 329

5 shades w/ great weapons 90

2xChariots 200

2xhydras 350

The list a posted a while ago with same casters people suggested dropping magic for ring and caddie but I like the 5 dispel dice for support spells and one die casters.

Oh and having two hydras isn't too bad since our group is pretty competitive.

Looks fine, but I would drop the BG to 15 to add a DS cloak to the sorc and move one of the scrolls to the other sorc, and musos fo you DR.

I would probably drop one unit of Dark Riders in order to give the other unit Repeater Crossbows (always handy) and bump the Warriors up to 25 and the Black Guard up to 20.

And I would give the 2nd Sorceress the Dagger instead of the Tome. Makes her so much more effective.

Also 5 Shades with GW only cost 90. For 108 you get 6 of them.

I don't like cross bows on my DR. They don't seem to be worth the points to maybe if I am lucky kill a guy when I pull the trigger (I've used them, rarely did anything).

I can't add DS cloak or dagger to mage because Seal of Ghrond+either of them is over magic point allowance.

You are correct about shades, I originally had them at six, but was 17 points over so dropped one, forgetting to take points off.

Looks pretty hard. I used to play something similar. It should be fun to play. Watch out for high strength attacks against those chariots.

Right, the Seal is 30 now... I tend to forget why I never take it anymore. ;)

Yea, I don't see too much chariot blowing up around here except from the HE player's uber dragon, and well, the chariot would probably die anyway.

On the case of the sorceresses, is it worth dropping the seal to get more offensive magic?
