THE druchii army

Sexy druchii · Post by **Sexy druchii** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 3:27 am

well, I wanted to assemble THE druchii army in writing, so I was wondering if you DE out there could help. Listing goes like this:

FORCE ORGANIZATION
CITY
BRIGADE (15,000+ point army)
CONTINGENT (12,000+ point army)
BATTALION (8000+ point army)
REGIMENT (4000+ point army)
COMPANY (2000+ point army)
DETACHMENT (1000+ point army)
CLAN (500+ point army)
NUMBER
COMMANDER RANK and NAME
DATE oF ORIGINALTY IE, original month, original day, original year.
So mine is:

Ghrond 3rd Regiment, General Antelioch Makshoui, 01/06/02

I will make a list of all the submitted armies. Anything under 1000 points is considered to be a shade clan, and sould not be submitted. Only one of each type can be submitted, so only ONE Ghrond 3rd REGIMENT. But, this doesn't mean that you cannot enter Ghrond 3rd BATTALION. I will rank them like this:

****CITY****
BRIGADES 0-5 per city. I dont believe that that many DE have brigades.
CONTINGENTS will go into brigades, 5 per brigade
BATTALIONS will go into contingents, 10 per contingent
REGIMENTS will go into battalions, 15 per battalion
COMPANIES will go into regiments, 20 per regiment
DETACHMENTS will go into compaines, 25 per company.

RANKS GO AS FOLLOWS:
Make up your own sensible rank (Brigade)
Lord General (Contingent)
General (Battalion)
High Commander (Regiments)
Commander (Company)
Major (Detachament)
Lordling (Clans)
Oh yeah, color the force name lime, so Regiment lets organize this!

*****NOTE, not SiNGLE ARMIES, ALL YOUR DE! If you have Ghrond and Naggarond, put it down on ONE city using force organization. Take up only ONE line, plz, or ill have to shrink your army's organization********

Remember according to the fluff in the 5th ed, DE have the largest cities in the world. This I found amazing since they were elves, but thats the fluff. Their reasoning is that Nag is so inhospitable, they are forced to live mostly in cities.

Since every DE can fight we must actually have a huge army.

You just knew I was going to be the first to put it down....

Black Lotus Brigade, scattered across Naggaroth, General Kala Kodai of House Velari, 07/01/04

Black Lotus are all the outcast troops from other Druchii armies, so they are garrisoned all over.

Post by **Rork** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 1:55 pm

I've got an observation to make. Would it not be more likely that DE military structure be centralised around noble families, instead of being part of a formal (and modern) military command structure?

I can see diplomacy, assassination and marriage playing a heavy role in how the Dark Elves control their military strength.

Post by **General kala** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 2:07 pm

I don't really think it is what he is trying to get at. I totally agree about assassination, manipulation and court nastiness playing a role in how we gain control (Kala got stuck with the Black Lotus because nobody in the Royal Court liked her tendency to burst bubbles). But I think Slaanesh Druchii is just trying to make a list here. It doesn't matter how we got our commands or what House holds what forces. Just who to contact when you need 2500 troops in Clar Karond.

Correct me if I'm wrong, SD.

And just in case, I added a touch-up to my earlier entry.

Um, ya, thanks, Kala, but can you plz give me a city? And I am organizing it this way so that there is no confusion, if put all druchii names people could get confused.

Kala, I will put you under Clar Karond for the moment until you give me a city. It doesnt mean you're always at that city, just put the one you mostly visit.

I NEED MORE ENTRIES THAN KALA'S AND MINE, PEOPLE!!!

Post by **General kala** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 4:32 pm

Clar Karond or Naggarond is good. Right now I've got most of my troops concentrated at the Wrath Gate trying desperately to hold it (hint hint, everyone).

Sexy druchii · Post by **Sexy druchii** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 4:33 pm

Oh yes, and people, if your force's name is something like Black Lotus BRIGADE, then that means that you have 15,000+ points. Please don't lie. Kala, your army was built this year. How many points do you have?

Post by **General kala** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 4:45 pm

You want actual numbers of fieldable models and not fluff-oriented? I wasn't lying, I just misunderstood. Everyone is on my case today.

A quick inventory indicates I could muster about 6000 points if I were pressed and you didn't mind playing against a primered army or some really old models. I have only been playing Warhammer since July. I have been collecting gaming miniatures since I was a kid. I started with a Dark Elf army because I already had a whole bunch.

If you counted proxies I could take over the world.

Quickly glancing through my army (including only painted minnies ) I have about 6500 to 7000 points worth of army.

True, I see all the armies of the WHFB world to have a system that is based on the feudal system where the armies are controlled by those who have power.

Has anyone read the Empire Trilogy by Raymound E Feist. I can kind of see the DE army being formed in the same way as the Tsuranni. Same with the politics. Especially that of the Minwanabi.

I have always kind of thought of the Houses of the Landsraad from Dune. Plans within plans within plans.

Please stop posting Nonsesns people! All I want is druchii armies! Not some ravings about an empire series!

@Aachil Lathanast: When did you start your force?

Sexy druchii · Post by **Sexy druchii** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:01 am

Also, can I ask for numbers, like the Ghrond 3rd Regiment, or the Naggarond 76th Detachment? It would really help to read the identification and classification chart above.

I agree with Rork on this one, this sytem doesn't really feel very druchii... What about giving the millitary divisions more elvish labels?

is this just for the online campaign or just fluff in general...

in case its just for cool fluff

To be honest I am not quite sure. I would say about 6 or 7 years ago - 5th edition. I fell in love with DE mainly becouse of their look rather than their style of play and I could not bring myself to build any other army other than DE ( but I will should they decide to release the new Wood Elves ).

God Dammit people! Stop posting these stupid observations on command structure! I don't care! This isn't about that! This topic is about collecting the druchii armies into one tome! And why don't you people that post "observations" post your damn armies too?

Zeb · Post by **Zeb** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 6:38 am

In Sweden a Regiment is formed by three to five Battilions and I'm possetive that it's the same in UK as well.

Started my army in -94, I guess I have somewhere around 12.000 pts, but I don't know if that would be a legal list...

errr... I suppose green is good enough? And I suppose that Date of Originality means the date when I bought my first druchii minies? Sorry for all the questions...

*hides behind his manticore until Slaanesh Druchii's fit of frothing rage is exhausted*

So, that would be 12/13/98.
