Wow, because Spears on Saurus and Halberds on BG arent good enough... Saurus with spears SHOULD be a nightmare for cavalry. As for black guard, yes, they'd become more powerful versus cav, but right now they aren't a great candidate for a heavy cav charge anyway. They should be shot and/or avoided....

It's generally accepted that DE can field the strongest list in the game barring Daemons that include special characters. They are simply in the top two armies in the game. VC are tame compared to a powerfully designed Dark Elf army. DE simply have too many powerful, undercosted tools NOT be be a ti...

hehe, Bretonnian warhorses aren't nearly as good as their Empire counter-parts. I blame the lack of spiky iron barding.

lol @ making heavy cavalry 'better'. anyone who seriously believes this is clearly braindead. If GW do anything to heavy cavalry it will be to make them 'worse'. This will most probably be done in the movement phase. Making them march at 1.5x speed instead of 2x, or something similar. To be honest, ...

Fluffwise, some Chosen Knights of Slaanesh of Daemonettes could work. Or even some Dragon Princes that swayed to the cult of Slaanesh. As for "most effective", most things from the daemon army book. A decent sized pegusus knight unit (you could model it with dark elf knights riding pegs). ...

Many tournaments are comped these days. If this tournament is comped, expect scores of 0. This means that even if you crush in all your games, you likely won't win. Is that reason enough?

If it isn't comped, go for it.

How about you think about how much fun most players will have against your army? Not just those who play empire and take 4 great cannons.

ridiculously lame army. no wonder people are starting to stop playing fantasy

the thing is though, why would you want to lose the fun factor? you can play plenty of WAAC cheese fests with dark elves that are still fun to play (for the dark elf player, at least). I mean, if you have all the models, try the army by all means. There will certainly be a novelty factor involved

Doesn't seem like a very fun army to play. It will also lose to various cheesefests of other races.

You may as well deploy a shade deathstar and save yourself some time in the deployment phase (you can go get a beer while he contemplates punching you in the stomach and stealing your army case)

And to link this to your army, DSL, I think your second army is better than your first, but I'm not sure about the lord on hippo. I do think errants are superior to KoTR in 7th, so I'd only be taking the one unit of KoTR. I know the treb is a good counter to big annoying things, but I find that they...

That's right. I feel that lots of screening ability, 5 dispel dice and MR1 on the big units affords them sufficient protection from magic/shooting. I wanted my hammers to have reasonable "psychology" resistance. The reason why I think armies with big KoTR lances are relatively ineffective ...

This is my list. I was going to start a separate thread, but I may as well post it here! Characters: Lord on barded Bretonnian warhorse with questing vow, virtue of confidence, Birth-sword of Carcassonne, Armour of the Agilulf, Gauntlet of the Duel – 238 Paladin BSB on BBW with questing vow, Sword o...

I wrote up a list VERY similar to the original list a few days ago.

I'll post it later when I get home.

having the sorceresses in the unit is not a good thing. ASF units will shred you, stupidity will own you, if you get charged you are screwed. Take them on dark steeds with dark riders and just have Malus + BSB in the CoK unit. Better yet, take a defensive magic phase and spend the Sorc points on mor...

If you can shave some points off the list I'd recommend breaking the saurus unit into two smaller units. Yes a 7x3 unit is really good and killy, but it will be dealt with/avoided. I'd rather run two smaller units. I don't know if you have the models yet. Maybe drop the unit of skinks + kroxigors? I...

that list looks really nasty, but also very cool. Some good advice in this thread. I'd hate to play against it with my brets. Even more reason why my standard all-comers lord needs to be equipped as anti-monster. Virtue of Audacity + Sword of Heroes ftw. How long would my 4 dispel scrolls last me ag...

this happened at least 5-6 years ago, but it's the most amazing thing I've seen on a warhammer table and I remember most of the details pretty well A beast hero was the lone survivor of a unit of gors and was in a combat against a stegadon, with 1 wound remaining. He passed his break fest needing to...

drop some dark riders for more knights. Drop the BSB or put him in the other knights unit with the hydra banner.

o yea, sorry about that.

there are some problems with your list from a rules standpoint characters can only take one "virtue", so your lord doesn't work. He doesn't seem to be mounted, which he needs to be unless you take the virtue of empathy (taking up your virtue choice). Also, peg knights are 0-1 unless your l...

Stop trying to rationalize and justify aimlessly spending almost all your waking life playing a computer game. Yes, it is enjoyable, very much so. I played the game since release, and quit about 3 months ago. I haven't looked back. The guild I was in was the 4th US guild (10th in the world) to kill ...

Do you play with like alot of terrain?... I usually have trouble placing more than 1 unit of scouts... Also: How do you decide where the terrain should be? We randomize it out - a bit tough to explain but we have 3 hills and 3 woods (1 rather small and 2 bigger ones) on a 72" x 48" table....

Like your thinking buddy! And welcome back!! Hey DA, it's been a while. Hope everything's going well Now onto the list... Didn't know about the whole powerdice battery thing or GW's giving only 1 strength for mounted things now (PS: Time to sell my questing knights). I guess they are good changes o...

It's been almost 2 years since I've posted in the hallowed halls of druchii.net, and in jovial 7th edition spirit, and to coincide with my return to Warhammer, here is a list I've been thinking about in light of the new 7th edition rules changes. So hola to everyone that remembers me, and with no fu...
