Re: Old rules redux: Mengil Manhides Manflayers
Hahaha TD! This also made me chuckle: Note that the company consists of both Elven males and females, Dark Elf women being easily as mean and aggressive as their menfolk. As if some dudes girlfriends in the 80s weren't like that already?! I also enjoyed: Mengil is a Mighty Dark Elf Hero. HELL YEAH H...

Re: Putting the M in 'Monster List'
Indeed! I like lots of these suggestions, if you want a fluffy but challenging list I'd run what you have already, but to twerk it into something even more stream lined then the addition of Warlocks and/or swapping one Beastmaster for a Level 4 on Peg would be VERY advantageous. As Underway says, Li...

Re: Rumours about GW in 2014 - not good ones
I'll be very interested to see how GW recover from this over the next 5 years. I believe that is their realistic deadline to turn things around. And they can. If they're smart. Seperating themselves so coldly from their fanbase was their biggest and worst move. Gamers, once they reach the age of 17+...

Re: Black Guard - putting the E in Warrior Elite
Give them armour penetration as standard and be done with it... Nah I like your fluff based rules although they need streamlining a bit. I think that they should be unbreakable instead of stubborn. That'd do the trick. Shield are a nice addition (loads of other halberd wielding elites have the same ...

Re: Your Experiences from using Dark Magic?
Word of pain also has great synergy with soul stealer (when it hits properly!).
I agree with Dal's thoughts on countering WoC with it too, though sadly I *still* haven't had a game with the new book! *curses his slave drive job in the quarries of Hag Graef...*

Re: Looking for advice on deployment
Could do with knowing which units you intend for your characters to be in (Death hag is fairly obvious!). Your BSB looks like he is internded to be on a mount, is this correct? He also has no weapon - is this correct too? What lore does your wizard intend on using? What tournament format is it? I ca...

Re: Old rules redux: Mengil Manhides Manflayers
Lovely, really like these rules - this unit made a fine addition thanks to the poioned shots and BS5 (again the initial concept behind the modern shades) in my army, in fact they really were the first time I ever heard someone proclaim that Dark Elves are overpowered! They used to sit in a Forest pi...

Re: Assassin Builds - 8th ed army book.
I really like all of those Underway!

I particularly like the sword of might version - he'd do very nicely against enemy spir...

Re: 2400 MSU Dark Elves vs Vampire Counts
Brilliant report! Blimey you really pushed back hard in this game didn't you?! The ethereal units were a pain as you quickly stated at the start and I think you're right, your undead opponent seemed fairly jammy in the magic phase but perhaps lacked a few decent rolls in the other phases: notably co...

Hiya guys, it saddens me to say it but I'm going to have to sell one of my limited edition dark elf books that I bought back round in October due to keeping my car on the road!

Re: Death Night is coming - How will YOU survive?
Death Night in the Malice Tower. The howl of anguish snapped Delekth from his vacant stare into The Wastes. As well as the sounds of murder within his own watch tower he could make out the eerie drone of at least two other alarm horns sounding out in the distance. He did not feel at ease; his watch...

Re: Will we still include Harpies?
I shall certainly continue to use harpies. As a long standing champion of the Dark Riders I still regard harpies to be of great use in our armies although their points increase compared to other unit costs (many of which went down) simply makes them less of an auto-take as they used to be in the pas...

I'm not sure that I quite understand your scenario 'ideas' for the tournament (which are VERY important if you want to write a successful list, no matter what style / theme it uses).

Re: Assassins in Scouting Units
I'd like to raise the topic of how viable Assassins are compared to Masters! In all seriousness, the way I perceive this is that the assassin in not placed upon the table during Deployment, thus it does not matter if he has the scout rule or not. He is simply revealed in one of your infantry units a...

Have a look at the list in my sig - it was based around that concept and remains unbeaten as yet although I've not tried it with the new army book. I love your reasoning for not using Warlocks - and I couldn't agree more!

Re: Tacktical setup Bolt throwers

I think that the addition of a monster would give you some extra target saturation for your army and also take some heat off the Shrine - which is a beautiful model and I fully think you should keep it; I've sadly yet to play a single game with the new book (thanks to work) but the excellent and det...

Re: Morathi?
Actually, by pumping down a model's S or T by Withering / Enfeebling / Soulblight / Word of Pain, would Morathi end up killing them via combat and knocking the enemy's remaining stat off? Quite a tricky combo to pull off but that could be a serious nail in the coffin!
