To me, the army list is on the right tracks : what I definitely need is : 1 - To be able to have fun whenever I play. It has been a pain lately since we haven't been redone and are now clearly underpowered against such armies as HE or Empire (the ones I play most often against). 2 - To be able to fi...

Aldarith: your HB is illegal because the heartstone of Darkness costs more points than you calculated for it Quite true. I guess I got a bit confused there sorry So here it is for real : Gauntlet Crown of Black Iron Heavy Armour Sea Dragon Cloak Shield (which you can use in HtH since the Gauntlet i...

DE might ahead of HE but the HE are, as a race, to the last elf, brought up to lightning pace by the intervention of a god who actually gives a damn whose blood is on the carpet. Khaine could concievably confer such a bonus on Witch Elves, Executioners or Assassins, but nae bugger else will get any...

The old fluff is in the bin mate. High elves are now the most skilled practitioners of the martial arts. They train more and are just naturally better fighters. I concur with this explanation. Still I don't see how they could be so much better than a warlike race as we supposedly are (I already exp...

Manflayers, Shades and RxB Dark Riders sounds great. Never tried the option of two Hydras but it should be good . What I can tell you about the dragon is that you need to combine it with some Dark Peggy to do the "canon job". Hiding your Dragon even one turn is never a very good solution :...

Not that the matter hasn't been already widely discussed, but after playing several games against an army of new HE, a big concern has been bugging me. I do hope that our special and rare infantry and cavalry troops get something to counter the army-wide ASF rule of the HE in a way. I am not talking...

Mine is equipped as follows : Gauntlet (60) Heartstone of Darkness (40) Heavy Armor Sea Dragon Cloak Shield That's : 4 attacks at S8 Strike last ignoring AS for the HB 6 attacks at S6 for the Dragon AS 2+ (Shoot)/4+ (CC) for the HB WS 4+ Striking last can be a liability largely compensated by the fa...

Mortahi... she is in some way the mother of the Dark Elves for we would not exist without the Sundering and the Sundering would not have existed without the Cult of Pleasure of Morahti. Plus I've always had admiration for those who can juggle with so many allegiances. You have to be incredibly cleve...

The Druchii warband is currently being "redesigned" so that it fits the mordheim world better (it was considered to be too powerful by most of the staff at Specialist games as far as I understood). It might therefore be difficult to find the last official version of it, since they do not display it ...

There is one more thing which we could IMHO look at. Inter-warband relations. For example, Sisters of Sigmar have Righteous Fury special skill, which affects "evil" warbands. Does it also work on dark elves? I have re-read the rule recently and IMHO, the answer would be no. This rule, as I understa...

Yeah ! I also thought that for once, the french translation "Furie" was much better than the english term "witch elf"... But then "Fury" refers to another creature of the WFB world so I would say that is sort of a problem and I doubt anyone would ever consider translating into the english version a ...

Are you in a playtester group Loflar ? Or are you in contact with GW people (just to know...) Ansob, are you in contact with someone at GW - or member of GW yourself (I remembered you telling something about presenting the band to someone). All the work done here is aimed at the development of a new...

I agree, much better that way. On the topic that Orcs = Elves, JRR Tolkien only says that they are "twisted and tortured elves" (physically speaking), "a ruined and terrible form of life, now perfected, my fighting Uruk-hai" - dixit Saruman the "wise"... And although some argue that orcs are actuall...

Few things sprung to my mind during my boring workday... Fiirst concerning the idea of a light crossbow : I read you answer ansob and I understand it might be hard to get it in our band equipment. However, you could argue that it is not so different from a bow and that it fits the background of DE m...

Shall we keep the discussions going on the 3.5 thread ? Quite practical actually since it sums up the work done here... Anyway, I will do my new post there instead of here.

why not... but I think we should have them fight a bit on a 1 (you know, tearing away their beautiful long white hair - my DEs have white hair). ANSOB's idea of "basic strength" for the attacks seems fine to me : they are not using their weapons (is that what should be understood ansob ?) I think an...

Would it be like the rule for animosity in the army book for orcs and goblins or is it a special one for Mordheim ? If we adapt from the army book that would give someting like that : "Sectarism : every time a WE and a Sorceress come within 6" of each other, immidiately roll a D6 for each of them. O...

Hi lads, nice work so far. I've been following most of the threads about Modrheim for DE since Druchii.net got gback online. I must say I'm quite pleased with the job done so far. So I figured I might throw in a few more ideas. 1- I am uncomfortable too with the fact that bow got in the equipment (s...

This ToK army list sounds fantastic ! Can't wait to play it (just need to paint some more of those pesky lil killer ladies ... only two units won't do ) ! I'm especially happy with the Witch elf lord and hero that existed in the previous GW DE army book and disappeared with the new one. Always thoug...

Hi, I'd love to playtest this Temple of Khaine, especially if it features new kinds of Heroes (like the witch elf hero which disappeared in the last edition). I can fight against Dwarves, Empire, Khorne, Slaanesh, Chaos undivided, Tomb kings, Goblins, Orcs and goblins, other Dark elves, High elves (...

well i want new magic iteams so get out there and win them for me! Well, I'd like new magic items too, but since the CoS alternative army list with additional equipment "that can be fielded in any DE army" was released I kinda gave up any hope... I think even if we win, we will have nothing. It wil...
