This might be a stupid question and I don't have the rulebook or armybook nearby but can you run a assassin with a handbow and rending stars and use both in the same shooting phase?

Yeah I want to know how those big blocks of spearelves faired and I just had an interesting debate with Tethlis about the Shades unit with the assassin (rending stars, manbane) as you have above and he has convinced me that its a very good unit to have in your army. How did that unit work out for yo...

What about crossbowmen? It seems that a few more models would be beneficial to that list surely? A little more fire-power wouldn't hurt... whom I kidding a few more would hurt your opponent quite a bit. Cheers

Yeah I just read that in the Darkblade novel the other day... moustaches? Where in the name of Khaine did that come from anyway? I had images of what an elf looked like before I began reading the book and some of the descriptions of moustaches makes them look like Mongol raiders in my mind. Anyway I...

Thanks again for the reply and I'm sure your experiences will greatly enhance the quality of mine. Then to just head back a little, what is the size of the unit of shades that you run alongside the assassin (perhaps 5+ for 2000-3000 point games) I want to know how much of my mother's money I'm going...

Good reply as always You've made quite a convincing argument and as I'm still in the building phase of my army I have yet to buy a unit of shades to accompany my assassin. I had no doubt of the effectiveness of shades for all the reasons stated above but I was trying to get your reply to veer more o...

How'd you paint the skin? Which paints? Oh! and they really need to create plastic models for them... they are so expensive in South Africa that I cringe when I see them

Agree with everyone... chariot or two means a lot of blood mwahahaaa.

Jeez two dread lords... bit excessive points wise isn't it? If you're adamant that two lords is what you want (not a good idea at that point cap) then would it not be better to replace one of the D. Lords with a lv3 or lv4 sorceress. I've got a feeling that the sorceress will greatly exceed any dama...

Tethlis would you say that the combination of rending stars with manbane is worth its point cost? I don't have the Army Book nearby put I'm assuming that the model exceeds 150pts. You can put at least another 20 bodies of spearelves on to the field with that cost. If you've found that the combinatio...

Welcome!

Are assassins even a asset to Dark elves any more? Seems like you can get unit that are even deadlier for less points as Babnik writes above. If they have fallen out favor I'll be pretty bleak about this new model I bought...

Imo this is a great army, its close to the kind of army I am wanting to build. Sometimes I wonder how an army like this will fair when taking on some solid blocks of enemy elite infantry but if you work your infantry well with your hydras and chariots it should be more than okay. Also for a 2500 pt ...

Hey I'm also pretty much a newcomer and don't worry, the guys on this site are really cool so you'll feel right at home.

Yeah I like the addition of the chariot to List A and it feels like it has more flexibility over-all imo. List B is similar to List A but as a player I would rather field List A knowing that I have a Lv 4 in my army and I think your opponent will be aware of that to. You still have 12 pts to spend o...

The slashes on the helm and the rest of the armour really caught my attention it seems to have been done really well, it gives the impression that he has seen alot of action. How do you do it? Do you use a craft knife and then paint over it or is it just the way you painted it? Good work.

I read an interesting article which I think was written two days ago (I'm not quite sure) but it was on the UK Games Workshop site (You've probably read it already). Maybe that can give you some help, it has info on how to use Sorcerers in conjunction with one another and it spells out (already know...

For List A I'm assuming you are planning to do some damage in the magic phase, would it not be better to try and fit in another level 1 or level 2 sorceress so as not to put all your dragon eggs in one basket... so to speak. List B is a better all-round list. Do you know what sort of armies you're l...

I'm going to have to agree with Meteor. To answer your question on whether its viable or not... eh... that may be a problem but its viable if you want a weird expression on your opponent's face hehe

Hey Tethlis so do you have a picture of this scantily dressed BSB by any chance? Sounds like an interesting build

In the Malekith novel Bel Shanaar is killed in his room by being poisoned and subsequently suffocated by Malekith. In the rulebook he is assassinated by Malekith in the Shrine of Asuryan. Does anyone take the novels seriously from a Druchii historical perspective or are they there for a fun read? Al...

Hey looks like a pretty intimidating army. How are you going to split the spearelves and x-bows up?

I went through the High Elf army book again and found the passage that first ignited my interest on this topic. We all know the tragic story of Aenarion (Sorry that I misspelt it until now) and how he changed after the murder of the Everqueen and the drawing of the sword of Khaine. First what I foun...

I think that I have to agree with Drainal for the most part. I got the feeling that Nagarythe was under some sort of scrutiny from the the rest of Ulthuan because of their warlike traditions (That stands for correction). Perhaps Nagarythe as the great power that it was, would have prompted some sort...

Yeah you guys are right of course, I guess what I really was trying to get at was what faction would Anaerion join if a similar occurrence like the Sundering would to happen while he was alive. Would he join his Druchii kin or continue defending Ulthuan with the Asur? Thanks for the responses so far...
