Crown of Command is an Enchanted Item, not a Magic Armour, so no problem there.

... but I do think having it would be really good for his list Just to be clear. I am not saying that this isn't the case. All I'm saying is, that I wouldn't rely too heavily on it and wouldn't go out of my way to ensure, that the spell is definitely there (4 spells already offers a really good cha...

There is no situation, that can only be solved by Mindrazor. Besides, relying too much on it is no good idea. It's hardly a reliable option (you could roll crap, it can be dispelled, etc). It's a potent spell, and it's great, when it works, but I would never waste so much potential, just for a sligh...

...and take lore of shadow on level 2 as well since you need to be sure of getting mind razor since the blackguard/spears/corsairs are really going to depend on it in some situations. I wouldn't agree with this part here. Mindrazor is hardly necessary. Shadow has a lot of good spells. And I would r...

I don't like the 19 RXB without anything (apparantly). Better to lose a guy or three there and get them Shields and a Musician (or maybe even Standard Bearer). Makes them a lot more useful overall, I think. Maybe you will find the 5pts to upgrade the 2nd Shade unit with AHW, too. Also, I would - per...

Yes. Yes. Yes. Typically the Banner of Hag Graef or the Banner of Murder. No. Just one thing... The Standard of Hag Graef is pretty much completely useless for the Black Guard in 8th edition. It was the ideal choice in 7th edition, but now they pretty much always strike first, anyways, thanks to th...

You said i should get a hero on cold one so Should i get a dreadlord on foot then or should i just get the one on the cold one? The one on Cold One can be used as either a Dreadlord or a Master and I would say apart from a Pegasus-mounted hero, which requires some conversion-work and is generally m...

Spearmen are cheap, so sounds good, worth trying out. Esp. with the Dagger, they are really a must-have. Why the Harpies? Just because they are very mobile/screen ranged fire? To attack warmachines, to redirect nasty units and thus hold them up for one turn, missile screen against BF-firing units. ...

You can't do much wrong with a second Battalion box. Pretty much everything you get that way is useful even later on. Other than that, when starting out, you should look into getting some of the following... - Sorceress on foot (maybe two different models even) - Hero on Cold One - Cauldron of Blood...

With 2x Level 4 you are already getting diminishing returns in the magic phase, because often you will not have even close to enough Power Dice to have them both cast a lot of spells. But if that is what you want to play, go for it. Lords: Some Ward saves would be good. Pendant of Khaeleth, Talisman...

That looks more like a Greatweapon than a Halberd, though... Might make for a good Dreadlord on foot (maybe not for this army specifically, just in general). i.e. Greatweapon, Armour of Darkness, Pendant of Khaeleth, Crown of Command For a similar Master, maybe... Greatweapon, Armour of Darkness, Da...

Dark Magic is nice combined with Shadow.

Fairly sure EX's will be in the 3rd finecast wave but meh lol its over priced and metal models look nicer! Me and my pretty much all metal army agree with you in general, but Executioner swords are a pain to assemble. Those would be really useful in Finecast. Whats the reason behind giving the RXBm...

Thanee U mean net or store? don't have it the shop here in Norway:(, should they? m Hope the link works, otherwise go to the main site (m) and navigate to Warhammer / Warhammer Bitz / Shields. You can let them send them to a GW store near you, usually (or ask in the store, they should be able to or...

Hello and welcome back! Here are some general comments and recommendations... Unfortunately, the Hydra Banner is too expensive for the COK Standard Bearer (he is limited to max. 50 pts magic banner). Good alternatives include the Standard of Hag Graef (Always Strike First for the mounts, too, and th...

High Sorceress; Lvl 4 upgrade; Dark Pegasus; Focus Familiar; Pendant of Khaeleth; 370 points With the Pegasus, you really do not need Focus Familiar. Take a more useful arcane item, like the Tome of Furion, or Darkstar Cloak. Hag Queen; BSB; Banner of Murder; 140 points You do know, that you can gi...

Welcome to Druchii.net!

If you like Corsairs, getting 1-2 Battalion boxes is a good idea for sure.

You get Warriors (Spears/RXB), Corsairs and Cold One Knights that way. A good foundation for a druchii army.

Now what confuses me is why COK are wounded as T3 (from the riders) rather than T4 (as the Cold Ones). The rules say combined models use the highest stat of the two, right? Check out the Cavalry troop type entry in the rulebook (p. 82 in the small one). It specifically states, that the mount's Toug...

I see!

You could try finding the points to upgrade your Master BSB to a Death Hag BSB with Cauldron.

I have made good experiences with a 2500 pts army, that included only a Lvl 2 and a CoB BSB (though I have also made a variant with a Lvl 4 and CoB BSB).

This was for games with quite heavy tournament restrictions, though.

There have been a lot of discussions about that. Take a deeper look into this subforum, you might find a few.

Me, I use both, Spears and Corsairs, but the cheaper Warriors are usually the first choice.

I don't like RHBs, though, and always take AHW Corsairs.

I don't know... without the Pendant, he is still too vulnerable, when up against the really nasty stuff, and that is pretty much what you want him for. Why don't you skip the Lore of Death and go Dark Magic? Amazing synergy with Shadow, and a decent chance to get the Soulstealer, which allows her to...

For hints about army composition, best use the thread he posted in the Army Lists forum.
