Re: Is lore of darkness any good? I would contend not...

My personal thoughts are that it's a good lore, but with lack of augment spells,it requres units that can manage on their own. When the new models came out I just bought some kits, many of which I used as bitz. That means I play alot with stuff that were good in last edition and decent in the curren...

Re: Brain storming help - Supreme my Sorceress - share yours

Thanks everyone. It's really simple to do and doesn't need much greenstuffing either. @Crowmire - pretty much exactly what I was contemplating. Though I was considering a different head. This one is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing! One question - if you used the Death Hag's head on this Sorceress, w...

Re: The Battlemage

Transformation of kadon works only if caster is on foot. I had similar idea, only with dark pegasos and fencers blades. I'm also taking bsb on DP with COT, so i also have another target for Savage beasts. There's also other good spells like the sig spell and amber spear, so it's not like You're taki...

Re: How do you build your list? What are the "must haves"?

I go very character light in my lists nowadays. Last game in 2500 pts I had only Supreme sorceress(general) and Pegasos master(BSB), nothing else. It's the troops that win the game, not characters. Looking at your character list, first I would suggest that try making your pegasos guy BSB, give him C...

Re: Combat sorceress?

The shrine bus was what I had in mind, only without lore of life. The problem with that is, that I feel the whole magic phase goes to making sure the one unit survives. I'd rather just not take SS at all then. Also, I don't own any executioner or witch elf models, and due to current prices, I don't ...

Re: Larger units of Dark Riders

I wouldn't wield them in any list, but in All cav/cav heavy lists I'd take unit of 10-12 to remove rank bonuses from enemy blocks. Might even take two, since with cav lists you need to brake enemy units on the turn you charge, so cant afford to have your enemy keep his steadfast.

Hi all! It's been awhile since I posted here, but now that we have new book I'm sure there will be change in the matter. I'm attending a tournament with heavy comps(I believe it is the current Border patrol rules) and I'm finding that they really really restrict dark elves more than some others. Her...

500 pts, beginning of a campaign.

Right, we're having a campaign at our LGS and the game sizes will be 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 2000, 2400. Most of the players are new to fantasy(40k players), so the goal is to learn the FB rules.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Like lord tsunami, I trust that right paint job is enough to make the steeds non-wood elfy.

Painting might take awhile, since I'm going to convert/assemble 2000 pts before I start painting.

Thanks!

nightmare wings were the only suitable ones I had, I had to cut last join away to make them fit, but imo they turned out quite nice.
Maybe a bit too thick, but good enough.

Are you aware that Darkrider lose the fast cav. rule if you give them shields? Thus, I would drop the shields from two units of them and decrease the unit size to 5, then drop the Rxb's from the last unit. Also, standards are waste of points on them, change them to musicans.
