Seriously, I think you are overestimating them a bit. I play them myself. The Teradons can be shot down - and will not be too much of a problem once they have dropped their load (which is very dice-dependent anyway). And the Slann gets killed by the RoHotek just like any other mage. Saurus warriors ...

Against Warriors of Chaos

I've never played against them and have only a very basic knowledge of this army. Can anybody give me a few basic pointers?

Druchii Army Generator

Just in time for Christmas, I finished my little army generator for the Druchii. It is simple, being just an Excel-Spreadsheet, but it seems to be working. If you find any errors, let me know. Hope it helps. Get it here! For the record, it is based on an old spreadsheet for the former edition I once...

I had the problem that a HE-General used Hatred to send my BG into a swamp for a few turns, slowing them down. Apart from that, it's working (mostly) wonderfully for me.

Be fast. More than anything else, be fast. This way, you can outrun him, outflank him and attack him before he gets a chance to shoot your army to pieces. Dark Riders, hapires and Shades help. COK's, as well. Give them a hero or a dreadlord with the Ring of Corim to protect them from shooting. Use a...

New unit type for DE from Warhammer Online?

A friend of mine who plays this game explained to me that they have some kind of Druchii healer-priest character in the game, called, (I think) "Disciple of Khaine". He said that there was a rumour that this character/unit type would be introduced into Warhammer, too. Anybody know anything...

I follow that your sheets, SilentDeath, could probably use a bit of polishing; however, the general idea of statistical analysis is very useful. Of course, you have to combine them, to a degree, with empirical data. Prime example that I can give is the broadth of the ranks needed to achieve the high...

2150 points Highelves vs. Druchii, including pictures

This was a battle I had against a buddy of mine on Thursday. Very enjoyable. Our armies where roughly like this: DE: Highborn with Crimson Death, AoES, Pendant, SDC, Shield Death Hag with the Cauldron, Manbane, RoKhaine Sorceress Lvl. 1 with Seal 5 Harpies 2 Assassins, each with RoKhaine, Manbane, a...

I would recomment keeoing them apart. Putting all you eggsin a single basket rarely is a good idea. Plus, your opponent has to worry about two possible problems, rather than one.

I can understand that you don't want to have them frenzied, it is always a matter of reliability, and against a devious opponent, you can get into trouble. AP is a good solution, alternatively - why not the War Banner? An additional +1 to CR, whether you kill something or not (and the assassin alone...

If something does not work for you, Elven Prince, then you need to change your army composition. Of course the ring will be problematic for an army that relies on casting a lot of high-power spells. On the other hand, as long as you cast only one or two dice at a time, there is a reasonably good cha...

Make the sorceress a Lvl 1, remove her familiar. In most games, she will not be able to bring a spell through, since most opponents have at least 3 dispel dice against your 4 Power dice. If they manage to stop PoD, she will do even less. Maybe give her another Dispel scroll or the Seal of Ghrond and...

I'd prefer the Hag on a Cauldron behind that unit, as well. Less eggs in the same basket, higher flexibility, more units on the table and better protection to boot. Plus, the unit is stubborn, just in case it loses combat after all. And should that happen - well, you still got 2 (or three, thanks to...

If there is no Strength used in the attack, the Pendant is useless. The Chillblade would be interesting if used by a "pseudo-assassin", i.e. a noble equipped for fast traveling and killing characters, e.g. on a Dark Pegasus. That, of course, would only be viable against an opponent who put...
