Ive been missing MSU a lot. I tried the idea a while ago, threw some battle reports together and played around with it. Found the concept of the army fun but always felt in some matchups I was a bit lacking. After a break from Elves and building up a Skaven army I find myself bored of blocks so ive ...

Will be my first SCGT too.
Should be good.
Not delved into the comp yet.

@Amboadine I have to be a bit conservative with my characters at times, I am rarely reckless as they are so fragile, beast magic backed with soul blight helps, drop that and a wildform in the same combat your opponents soon have to start picking which to dispel. Savage beasts is my favourite tho +3 ...

Thanks for your comments, I had to think long and hard about all your points when I wrote the list, this is my take on why I didn't bother making my characters more conventional: The peg master is definitely a more competitive choice, I dropped him out as I wanted to use the highbeastmaster, his abi...

My MSU Dark Elves for a UK Tournament. Lists submitted so I throught id just see what people thought. The tournament is using the ETC draft so a few things are comped but I don’t mind that. The rules pack: m The Army Comp: m Lists are open so no harm in posting mine here: Supreme Sorceress - 260 Lev...

Ive been running MSU for a long time now. My next outing with MSU Dark Elves is at Call to War in the UK which is this weekend as has over 90 players I believe at the moment. The tournament is using the ETC draft so a few things are comped but I don’t mind that. The rules pack: m The Army Comp: m Li...

As promised a quick run down of my thoughts, nothing to technical but any questions fire away. Deployment I was happy with my Deployment, the river was more of a hindrance to me than him and I couldn’t afford to have all my units on the left side of the river as the Valgrulf and Spirit could sweep a...

The armies are worked out using this following comp system: Comp Pack - m With my army coming in at 7.7 and the Vampire Counts at 9.2. Making a difference of 1.5. With 7.7 being harder than 9.2 my opponents gains a amount of VP equal to the difference rounded Armies are awarded +100 VP per comp of 1...

Hi guys, been awhile since I posted up a battle report, been having a lot of fun with the new book and I was keen to get back to my MSU Elves so this is a report using my current list. It uses the Swedish comp system to score the units. I like the system because I think it offers players the ability...

I enjoyed your report, very good to read. I'm running msu at the moment, sadly most reports I post don't go we'll for me but I pick from my mistakes and keep trying. Was good to read a Dark Elf msu working. Swordmaster gets excellent results with high elves. 3000 is a lot more than I run, how did yo...

Your list looks good, I like that your running Executioners without ASF. I think with them being one of your main blocks they need more support, 3 units of Harpies is ok but they are Ld6, your general will be on the move and is Ld8 and the CoB will be with the main battle line not up front and the h...

An Executioner unit that size is indeed nice to see without the Hag BSB. How did you find the Disc Banner, did you feel you would have been better with the Flamming banner? (Especially in Watch Tower) Or even one of the MR banners just to add a bit of protection from Magic Missiles ect Do you think ...

With my Deployment I pulled back simply because I was unaware of what the centigor could do, I had never played Beastmen before and we were running closed lists so I just assumed they were equipped with a ranged attack. The same with the Manticore I have limited experience and every time I run one t...

This was a 2400 point match up against Sam, Sam is my oldest enemy, he’s the person I started playing with years ago and we still continue to clash swords regularly. Sam was running his Dwarfs and we opted to go for one of the BRB Scenarios. After re-rolling Battle Line 3 times we ended up with Bloo...

I think maybe you are right that I should have applied some pressure in turn 4, even if it wouldn’t have been the full might the 2nd round of charges could have supplemented the combat res further along with another top up of freshly hate filled troops. With the Buffs lesser on turn 4 I could maybe ...

I agree I can’t see any massive mistakes I made. Maybe the Sorceress could have stayed behind the building with 2 augment buffs I could have still buffed the army even when out of LOS. And Gold Hounds wasn’t a very good spell vs your army but the only other option was Searing Doom. My weakness was d...

This was a 2500 game vs Dan and his High Elves, Dan is someone ive not played against before and this is only my second match up with High Elves. I know its always a bloody affair and was keen to see what Dan would bring to the table. I had only prepared a 2400 list and Dan had 2500 with him so I ju...

Hi, sorry its taken awhile I had another report to write up. Deployment This is a very important phase of the game for any MSU practitioner. We might have more units and try to out deploy the opponent but at the same time we need to know how. Deployment made me realize that you actually do not have ...

This was a 2600 point match up practicing for a UK Tournament called Tempest: The comp pack can be found here: m With the change in comp to Dark Elves it didn’t change my list much, I wanted to drop the Peg master from my pervious games as I don’t want to use the PoK anymore. In his place I added a ...

I like your list and endorse your use of Lore of Metal. I would guess the Corsairs are your weakest link however I can see their use in an MSU list to make sure you catch what you break. I'd love it if you could throw up a few bat reps so we (*cough*I*cough*) could see it in action! Ask and you sha...

Ok so many firsts here for me, first time using Battle Chronicler and 1st time writing a battle report, there will be some mistakes but I hope to do more reports and become a bit more proficient. This was 2400 vs Lizardmen and my Local Gamming Club. We just opted for a standard pitched battle. I alw...

I don’t have any battle reports as of yet, ive never really done any. I have battle chronicler and a game vs Lizardmen lined up for next week and the week after a 2600 practice game to help someone prepare for a tournament. I’ll get some photos of those games and try and use BC and get some reports ...

Just to add something to this, ive been reading Swordmasters battle reports for weeks gaining as much knowledge as I could and following this thread closely along with Joey_Boy and SmithF threads. It was the following post below that pushed me to pursue a MSU style army. @Swordmaster of Hoeth: Execu...

Your comments about the spears as a horde have changed my opinion. Ill run them as a deep formation. As a Skaven player I know how durable deep blocks can be. I can always reform wider if I fancy some killing blow fun, or a horde of goblins presents its self. I am running the exe in horde and the wi...

I was looking to run the spears in a Horde of 60, if all goes poorly I can drop them into depth as a nice anvil. Never seen anyone run a spearhorde, could be fun. Apart from that all your suggestions are good red. Ive tossed the pennant into the CoK, witches get a AP banner and ExE a Flame banner, i...
