I used dark sword twice. Once vs. Vampire counts to hunt lone necromancers and spirit hosts and the other on a wizard hunting noble on dark pegasus vs. HE. It actually worked vs. undead spirit hosts on a noble with a dark riders unit(flank vs flank units)

Funny....When doing the GP, I mentioned a lance upgrade for DR's and got zero support on the idea.They remain fast cav.

"As a result, dark elf sorcerers are regarded with disdain, fear and superstition by most dark elves." Key word is 'most'. There are always those that will follow, be it from intimidation or any other source.

Keledron's 'to hit' table was EXACTLY what I proposed and best reflects elite WS. It would work with current rules. The table Swede mentions was when there was an even greater deviation in WS's than there is now. If all current profiles remained the same, Kelledron's table would work with the curren...

What we should have is 'city specific' army lists, not this! Count me out on anything to do with it. Just when I thought we were headed in the right direction, this comes up. Just goes to show Chaos is GW's pride and joy. Khaine will get you all for this......mwahahahahahaha

This is totally out of control and complete BS. Don't allow chaos troops in the army. They work because of T4/high AS. If all was elvish T3/low AS and you pay for marks and loose character and rare slots for daemonic crap, the army would be small like chaos. The difference being low T and low AS. Co...

It sucks as is, which is why in the GP it had +1S added to it. As stated numerous times, our problem isn't hitting, it's wounding

It'd be nice to take the best workings from 4th and 5th edition and combine it with the best of 6th ed. Then you'd have a great game!

As a new DE player, don't be afraid to ask questions. Welcome

If you can take both Kouran and Tullaris together, I think you'll get more 'bang for the buck'. If not shadowblade is it

Straight 9's. I might not be the baddest SOB around, but the baddest SOB wants to be my friend........mwahahahahahaha

You restored my faith in GW and yourself. I'd been a very outspoken critic, though it was done politely and tactfully, not 'flaming'. We should converse via e-mail. I'm oldest here at 50.

Mississauga......rock'em sock'em hockey

As we developed the GP, we ended up noticing it would be nice to have a couple magic items I'd mentioned in the begining, but I got no support on. Among these were a cheap, one use only ward save and cheaper version of executioner axe(40pts, normal great wpn except 1W=2W). We had a good list in the ...

Our BM's are suppossed to be the best in the WFB world at training and leading monsters. This should be reflected in their ability to take any monster mount (except unicorn) available in the WFB world. I'd like to see BMA's with Gigantic Spiders and Giant Scorpions as well as Snow/Glacier Trolls. I'...

This was quite a topic during the GP. My thoughts are since the warriors came down in point cost, but our xbows are still costly, the xbows should be worth their point cost. No more -1 to hit if using multiple shot (x2). They should be S4 if single shot but still 'move and fire' since they're magazi...

New book is 2 years out. That means we have 18-20 months to get everything together for the NEW DE. We should keep up a similar format to what we used to get our little revision. Post ideas for all to see and playtest them

@ Dimorti - We have 'The Plain of Spiders' plus a desert in the southwest of Naggoroth if you look at map in current book. 2 gigantic spiders with 2 bma's apiece makes US=10 (US3 for spider/US1 per bma). I tested them. They're different, fun, and they work. Is the sound of 'Glacier Trolls' from the ...

I've had good success with a large block of 20 exes combined with flank charge of DR

We should look at a couple new units; sword elves, giant spiders/scorpions, slaves. Look at weapon changes/stats/profiles; rptr xbow is S4 single shot or S3 multishot, return shades' BS5, return exes S4. Create new magic items like we did for GP. Construct themed armies for each DE city. It should b...

If we get highborns and nobles access to the Temple of Khaine, Black Lotus will be effective on a halberd or great weapon. It's not worth it for a S4 assassin trying to cut through character high armor saves

I'm with DA and Thanee on the HE core infantry changes, and said so since the beginning

It's an acceptable "quick fix". I can't help but wonder if the DE armies doing well at UK tourney put a screaching halt to more changes being accepted

Yes, and the BM gets 25pts of magic items. Armor of darkness costs 30pts

Skaven can hate our poisoned xbows all they want because I hate their rattling guns, jazzails, poison wind globes, lightning cannon and all that other hokey stuff they use that's only there to make up for weaknesses!!!!!
