Oncebitten360 is easily the best one there is. He actually knows how to play the game.

Re: Mounted 2400 (playing to DE strengths)
1. Yes. It is a fairly common build that works well 2. Death is immensely strong. Purple Sun with 6 dice against enemies who are susceptible to it is so good it isn't even fun. 3. The Dreadlord has to be the general as he has the highest LD. 4. I don't personally rate the Hydra, but I see a lot of p...

Re: General / BSB / Wizard / Masters
And the manticore is much more easy to get in combat or behind terrain to avoid cannons. In my group, you cannot use terrain like forests to hide from cannons. Manticores, like dragons as large targets, got no love from GW this edition. Atleast the ogres "stonehorn" gets the multiple woun...

Re: General / BSB / Wizard / Masters
The Cauldron is a much bigger asset to your army than the Manticore is though. The Cauldron itself has t6, w5 and a 4++ as well as giving Witch Elves 5++ and any other unit 6++. It also comes with a nifty bound spell and a great ability that lets you re-roll all to wound-rolls. The Manticore on the ...

Re: General / BSB / Wizard / Masters
On the other hand, the Peg is protected by the Riders armour and Ward save as well as giving him +1T and +1W. Pegs and Dark Steeds are really strong and tbh I find the Dark Steed to be better than the Cold One in almost every aspect. My favourite build for a mounted character lately has been a Dread...

Re: Army Blog - The Dark Reapers - Dragon Lord Musings
I am having a game against Daemons today. For some reason, I decided to buy and put together a Scourgerunner Chariot which I am going to try today. I hope to post a BR where I write down all my hate for it by the end of the night.

Re: Druchii.net 1st Universal Battles Tournament Rules Pack
I know that the ETC have ruled it the other way, 40x40. This is apparently due to the fact that all other pegasi come on 40x40 bases. I suspect that it might partially be a balancing solution so that two Pegs and a lord on steed can't fill up the front rank of a Dark Rider unit. This is where I fun...

Re: Dark or Death?! First time vs undead legion
Uncomped Death is insane. I have played with a mounted death lvl4 with ETC-comp lately and she wrecks face. The ability to get into position with the 18" fast cav move and then throw Purple Sun is really great. If you have some Warlocks as well, you can have a double casting of Doombolt already...

Your reports are very nice to look at. I used Battle Chronicler for a while myself, so I appreciate the amount of time you invest into making these diagrams! I think your RBT deployment in the WoC game is really good. Spread out on the backline with more than 6" between them while maintaining f...

Re: 2400 pts ETC draft 2.5.1 list
As I mentioned in the other thread, I am not sold on the CO mounted characters. The bus is weak and will be shot to death in a miniscule amount of time. How about dropping the master on cold one, giving BSB duty to your charmed shield/talisman of preservation hero instead? That would free up your lo...

Re: etc 2.5 draft mounted list
I honestly don't rate the Cold Ones. I think you will find that your characters become to restricted and that your bus will die quickly against armies with decent shooting. How about playing around with fewer mounts, but using pegs instead? There are some good builds floating around on the internet.

Re: Can you buff dark shards to give better BS
Darkshards are core, which is easily their greatest asset. Dark Riders are better, but the comparison to Shades and RBTs is not a good one. You are undoubtedly going to be picking them over Darkshards, but they won't fill your core.

Re: Army Blog - The Dark Reapers - Preparing for a Tournamen
I am liking the idea of some Shades though. I can actually have quite a lot of them if I drop one or both unit of Harpies and maybe a bolter as well. I will have to think about this. This is what I like about getting advice and creating discussion.

Re: Army Blog - The Dark Reapers - Preparing for a Tournamen
Thanks, mate. I usually enjoy writing the blog, I just felt that it was just me posting for a few pages. The list is not going to be fantastic, but I think the Witch Elves will be able to hold their own, mainly due to the fact that there are precious few things who can just go in and wipe them out. ...

Re: Army Blog - The Dark Reapers - After BSK Game 4 VC
At the time, I am playing in a league where I so far has managed to get 87/100 points, second place having 64 points. It features a mounted level 4 death, a Witchstar and 10 Warlocks.

You only get impact hits from the front rank, so that is not very effective.
