I like the "mixed formation" idea (first rank swords and shields thus better armor save, second rank with spears)... this superior formation fits an elite elven regiment in my opinion. Nevermind the increased costs. €: Though it would be confusing in the case of flank charges. I dont see the confus...

This was already disscused during creation of the REVISION. We tried to persuade GW on one of the following thigs: - Spearelves with Armor Piercing - Spearelves with +1 STR (halberds) - Free reform (at the battle start or once per battle) Anyway I like Bemenacth idea: Maybe a rule that lets the seco...

It has been worked over and over again... Do some search on the forum next time.

YES, they get +1 to ALL spells they cast - not only Dark Magic, but also Death and Shadow or whatever the lore they could use in future (unless stated otherwise in new lore rules).

I love your ideas AVA, but I would like to add my 2c: - assassin should have killing blow without the need of any upgrades, but only against the characters. Normal Killing blow should remain TOK option. - Assassination rule and Flee should be combined, but a drawback should be added: "when you decla...

I would swap warriors with shields for Corsairs (or atleast Spearevles). They have slightly higher point cost and -1AS, but with their double number of attacks they are more likely to survive the combat and even win. They work even better in CoB range. Your current warrirs unit are to costly to work...

No models on foot? Thats quite challanging. You leave yourself without the most important aspect of the army composition - flexibility. For such small battle I would drop shades/harpies and rxbows from one unit of Dark Ridrs and add 1 RBT - in this game format it could be DAVASTATING and have huge i...

I would use this spell to pine down any enemy "bait" units and characters. Think about possibilities of forbidding the flee move on fast cav's, skirmishers, lonely wizards and msu baits. I would treat this spell as "unit gets immune to psych. and cannot flee" in that situation. Of course there are c...

This spell is very powerfull, but it is still only "support" spell. You still need some hammer to smash the victimes (of course it doesnt have to be BIG hammer, but still). Also CAST ON 10+ has only 44% of succes for lvl2 sorc. so you need lvl3/lvl4 to baser you tactics on it - otherwise it too unre...

Single shot is good for:

- Monster ridding characters.
- Also characters with AS RE-ROLL.
- Targets OUTSIDE 48" range.

Anything else gets 6 shots...

Something that I wouldn't mind trying is the Blade of Spite with Rune of Khaine. 4 attacks, any that hit on 5+ auto-wound. Quite nice.


You cannot coat MAGIC ITEMS with TOK POISONS... Quite sad. :(

I would say that DOMINION is not RIP spell and its effect is INSTANT.

Note, that it affects all models at the START of next turn. So mages inside the uni...

That is correct.

1. You can declare your own charge before forced one by frenzy.
2. Banner of Murder adds 1D6 to your charge move, normal or forced one. No ruling states otherwise.
3. This banner is very good on any unit.

My quick vote: Slaves Swarms. Cheap. Defesless and Unbreakable (chained). Enemy models that want to strike at slaves must pass LD test (does not work on creatures immune to psych.)
