It has been decided! Ogres it is! Made the decision last night, and bought my first Ogres. Much thanks for the help everyone! So I was on OgreStronghold today and noticed: "Latest Ogre: Crazy_Elf_Lady" A wee bit suspicious...Welcome to the Stronghold... from D.net.... /Awkward moment Yup, ...

Mmmm.... you've certainly got me leaning towards Ogres so far. A mostly-infantry Empire army with no tank or warrior priests of any sort would also be a lot of fun. I shall have to buy a basic box of Ogres and see how I enjoy painting them. Much thanks for the help thus far! Also seriously consideri...

Auughhh... so many choices! Eeesh... I do like the idea of wood elves, even if I'm not much of a fan of forest spirits. It could be fun to do a mostly-elf list. Ogres would be hilarious. To my knowledge, no one at our local store plays Ogres, but are they even remotely competitive? I haven't had a p...

Hey everyone, I love my Druchii, I really do. They are very powerful, and have served me very well over the last few years. I am still constantly expanding my Dark Elves, but I've got a yearning for some variety. I really want to start a second army, but I just have no idea what to pick! I used to p...

Whoops. Hadn't updated my location... I'm in Maryland now, had been going to school in Massachusetts, whoops. The bunker is still a bit of a drive, but every once in a while I go up there. Usually if someone else wants to drive, I'm happy to tag along. I'll shoot you a PM next time I'm heading up th...

I often field a dreadlord on a manticore. Whether or not to be offensive with it really depends on the opposing army. (Although a failed frenzy test can change that, lol) Generally, I prefer my manticore rider to take the first turn to stay out of harms way, watching how my opponent moves forward. T...

i saw your army in person at the Bunker HQ and must say it is very good looking in person! i really liked the torches on the dark riders! Awesome! Did I play you in the tourney? I think the conversions are nice, expecially the torches on the darkriders. One thing do.....the cauldron of blood with t...

I love my execs. A unit of 14 is sort of overkill, especially when you've still got a free special choice. I would break the unit down into two units of 6 or 7. (maybe with champions) The cauldron is especially powerful with these guys, as even these small units of 6 hitting with the +1 attack can s...

Alrighty... I've been working on my DE army for a good while now, and I finally got a new cord for my camera, so I figured I'd take some pictures to show off the latest entries! So here we are, pictures of my WIP Druchii army, still rapidly expanding! http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp132/Gallowm...

This might be quite a switch in list design, but I was curious about what you thought of something like this: Level 4 - DP, FF, Scroll, SoG - 390 pts Level 2 - Scroll, ToF - 175 pts Death Hag - CoB, BSB - 225 pts Assassin - ahw, Manbane, R. Stars - 151 pts (10) RXB - Sh,mus - 115 pts (10) RXB - Sh,...

t.t double post

Overall I quite like your list. Somewhat similar to my tourney lists. I would try to fit the cloak on your assassin. It basically makes him the biggest jerk in the world as far as your opponents are concerned. And he doesn't *have* to fly. Tell your opponent you're using the cloak at the start of yo...

2 lvl 2's is very powerful. Don't expect to be overwhelming your opponents magic defense on turn 1, but you will have decent magic defense yourself, and once some of the enemy wizards have been dealt with, your magic will become quite powerful. Especially with Druchii sorcery. A lvl 2 throwing 4 dic...

For Ehakir's idea you just need 5 dark riders, which also grants free reforms all around. This actually allow you to get through a gunline in a small gap, which the original idea did not. Problem is still that the unit can be stopped with Wrath and Ruin, which is not magical but a "shooting&qu...

What I fear most from Dorfs is the damned organ gun. Your poor shades can't get anywhere within 24" of that thing without getting blown to pieces. Gotta have *lots* of small units of harpies to charge it and other war machines. Another way around this is to charge units that stand away from hi...

The regular anvil isn't all that much of a problem. If you can get into combat with it, (a peggy master or assassin is great), you can hopefully shut it down quickly. The special character Thorek and the anvil on the other hand... that is a major pain. What I fear most from Dorfs is the damned organ...

When I run a magic-heavy list, I usually have 3 sorceresses. Supreme Sorc with black staff, pendant, lvl 4, on pegasus. Black staff is amazing. At the best, it's free power dice, and at the worst, it's -2 enemy dispel dice. Pendant keeps her safe from blowing herself up with miscasts, (which is goin...

The howdah riders are both incredibly annoying and useful. When firing telephone polls from your RBTs, or throwing rending stars, it is *very* disappointing when your S6 D3 wound attack hits a bloody skink. On the other hand, with T2, in combat if you need to just generate some cheap combat res, the...

Much thanks for all the replies!! Alrighty, played the tourney today! Here was the list I used: Master on Manticore: Crimson Death, Armor of Darkness, 2 handbows Deathhag with caudron: general Supreme Sorceress: lvl 4, Seal of Ghrond, 2 scrolls, power stone Assassin, rending stars, manbane =========...

I will most certainly have fun! And hopefully get a few pictures and mebbe do batreps afterward. Another quick question I just thought of: I usually just bring my laptop to the games store and have my army list up on the screen. I assume for this tourney I'll need to print my list out. Should I brin...

Haha, alrighty! I shall try to fit it in! I'm working on how to store everything in the most efficient way possible... i may need to snag me a good cardboard box. Really wish I'd magnetized my bases, lol. And I always forget rules. Up until yesterday I've forgotten the corsairs "slavers" r...

Very interesting idea about the SS... I think I'll try that! New list: Master on Manticore: Crimson Death, Armor of Darkness, 2 handbows Deathhag with caudron: general Supreme Sorceress: lvl 4, Seal of Ghrond, 2 scrolls, power stone Assassin, rending stars, manbane =========== 14 Corsairs, full comm...

Hmmm, sounds like a good plan. I played a game with that list today against a magic-heavy chaos cavalry list. Overall things went very well. There were a few hiccups, (the CoKs passed all of their stupidity tests, but died to a single magic missile T_T;; ) The manticore rider didn't manage to panic ...

Much thanks for the replies thus far! I think I've made somewhat of a compromise between the two lists posted above. So far I'm pretty happy with it, but not sure if I should drop the knights for more crossbows and harpies, or keep them? I like CoK, but without a ld10 general they have a tendency to...

Quick question: Going strictly by the rules, are assassins bound by the normal challenge rules? From what I can tell, there are no rules that stop a unit champion from saving that wizard by declaring a challenge... but that seems so silly. A dark elf assassin having any sense of honor wouldn't reall...
