I might considering dropping the Corsairs but I need the Anti-magic hence the Ring of Hotek. Unless there is a better anti-magic option for a 1000 points list? Agrred for the spearman, I need an Anvil. Master on Steed is definately more fragile. IMO for smaller games, instead of trying to squeeze in...

Competitive environment and there will be Cheddar Cheese, Blue Cheese, Morzerella Cheese and Parmesan Cheese. A 1000 points Newbie tournament (Considering I've not taken part in any tournaments) but I expect lots of iffy stuff so I would like to put Dark Elves in the Limelight. I heard I am the only...

On the contrary, in the current edition I always put an Assassin in my unit of Executioners to try and clear off the first rank of enemy units with his ASF rule before my Executioners get to strike back unmolested. But come to think of the hypothesized new rules, I think there will be an added rule ...

Defeats the purpose of being Assassins with the Hidden rule isn't it if your opponent knew all your unit contains an assasin. It is stated in the rulebook. (Word for word) Each Dark Elf infantry unit (except Harpies) may include A SINGLE ASSASSIN. I do not know if this was already covered in the FAQ...

Focus Familiar works... but it takes up 25 points which is vital for a lvl 2 sorceress. Or either way you've plenty of options to take out or disable their Missiles. 1) Chillwind 2) Harpies 3) Repeater X-Bow 4) Dark Riders 5) Shades 6) Offer potentially more dangerous targets to shoot at. Another wa...

Most people forget Witchbrew... They really help out with the combat resolution. I fought this Unit of Dwarves with my Witchelves supported by a Harpy Flank. He used some effy rune to give him double unit strength (Example, unit strength 20 becomes 40). Unfortunately, because of Witchbrew and flank,...

The best way of explaining it is as follows: Before any blows are struck, work out which models can attack. Only these models can ever have a chance of attacking this round. If they are alive at their initiative step they can attack any unit they were in btb with at the beginning of the phase , reg...

Scenario 1) Enemy unit (5 per rank) charges my unit of Exectioners. Charge was successful. Executioners and enemy unit engage in Close-combat. 2) I revealed my Assasin in the unit of Executioners. Assasin has ASF special rule so he strikes first despite the unit of executioners being charged. Assass...

Dalamar is right. Also, if your opponent pursues further than you, he kills your unit immediately, regardless of what happens later his pursuit. That's because its not that you run 8" and then he runs 10" and catches you, you run simultaneously: he covers 10" in the time that you wou...

I had recently played a few games with my new 1000 points Khanite Army featuring Executioners and WitchElves. Like asa most Druchii players have mentioned, these Specials are excellent if they charge (to strike first) and their light amour makes them vulnerable to even enemy firepower. Considering i...

My unit broke and ran, I rolled 2D6 and got a 8".

His unit persue (rolled 10") and at 7", it got within 6"of a terror causing unit (My cauldron of blood), can I force him to roll Terror test and if he breaks, will he still successfully run down my unit?

Unfortunately, due to the magic rules for Warhammer Fantasy, Magic is volatile. Suitable for those who love to take risks and gamble. Personally, I strongly believe in MathsHammer and probability so much so that I would take no chances that is why I don't like magic. Here are some reasons why I don'...

The rule allows you to swap a hand weapon for a hand crossbow. You can use the same option twice. It's like giving your heroes two handbows. You don't buy a handbow twice, there's a separate option for dual handbows. So I can use the same option twice to give each Corsair 2 Handbows shooting 4 shot...

As the thread title suggest, is it legal to give all my Corsairs dual Handbow? According to the Codex, under the Black Ark Corsairs entry, it simply states. Weapons: Swap Hand Weapon for Handbow. Since Corsairs have Two Hand Weapons, they can swap BOTH hand weapon for Handbows right? That means my C...

I like the idea of adding Executioners into my Army for the extra Punch. So I'll grab 10 Executioners. Afterall I am building a Khainite army. I intend to keep my 15 DE Warriors because I've figured I need a small Anvil. As I've noticed, most of my army is relatively fragile and costly (in terms of ...

Have been playing Warhammer 40k for too long and I've realised that I do not have a solid Army even before the 5th DE army book came out. @.@ (I bought the 4th Ed intending to start DE) So... I am kind of interested in Witch Elves and I've sort of tested them out using poxies. As a beginner to WHFB,...

Instead of Purple, I choose Red. After all Red cloth with Gold amour also gives a royal feel to your army.

Not forgetting, my Witch Elves wearing Red Thongs and Bra. More eye catching then Purple definitely.

Just curious, why is red hard to paint with?

I feel the Outnumbering Enemy rule for combat resolution is unrealistic and sometimes just blatantly wrong. I've encountered situations where I've "Outnumbered" my opponent by a unit strength of 1 and vice versa and thus get a +1 bonus for combat resolution. This is not realistic especiall...

Greyish amour? How about this colour scheme from Warcraft?

Does an assassin that was hiding in a witch unit need to be depicted in bra, panties, fishnets and high heels? Heh, Mental image of a witch ripping off her bra and undies to reveal... a full black cloak and a dozen weapons... All the enemies will be retching because they thought 'she' was the hotte...

DE Rule Book, rule on Hatred - Last sentence. Remember that Hatred also applies to mounts as long as their riders are alive. Technically speaking since your Rider died already, your mount do not benefit from the Hatred rule. Fluff-wise, your faithful mount goes into a rage seeing his master dies. He...

To cut the story short, I attached a Death Hag who is a frenzied character to a non-frenzy unit such as a large Block of Dark Elves Warriors to give the unit the benefit of Witchbrew. 1) I heard this somewhere before that Frenzy units have to always move towards the closest enemy unit on the board (...

1) Witch Elves How often do you encounter Bikini Clad Ladies fighting? Most sentients will don protective gears to increase their survivability in battle. Witch Elves, however, are different. They rely on their close combat prowess and wickedly cool Britney Spears Toxic . And obviously, i can safely...

They are far from being Druchii... Druchii are supposed to be really cruel, wicked, sadistically humorous and highly skilled. Perhaps a good example of a Druchii will be a character named Ophelia which will appear around 5.30 Minutes into this Anime known as Claymore. Best part is that she have poin...

I recently field a sorceress in my khanite army to give her a lttle magic resistance. To my surprise, there are some spells which are quite handy for a WE Army. Word of Pain is a fine example. They help increase the survivability of WE in Closecombat and give the gals insane amount of hits. Black Ho...
