Can you put in a army list at the begining it is a little strange when you are reading and a unit just appears from no where to attack a flank or something like that. Sorry, yes let me see. Each army was 2250 points. I'm at work so this is from memory: DE Force: 12 RXB w/cmd 12 Corsairs w/cmd 15 Ex...

[quote="BaronDeSade"] Nice style, I'm not sure about the names, though. [quote] Thanks! Okay, maybe some of the names do need a little work. [quote="BaronDeSade"] Ratling Guns CANNOT fire when the Stormbanner is on! [quote] Now you tell me! I could have used this information abou...

Of Druchii and Skaven

When dawn broke, the two forces stood arrayed across the plain from one another. It was a cold, dreary, gray dawn, but it came swiftly, and as the light quickly grew, it became alarmingly apparent to Lingus the Cunning sitting astride his great black dragon that the Skaven horde was already much clo...

Posted: Thu Feb 27, 2003 1:57 pm Post subject: I paint a lot of gold and this is how i do it i first apply tin bitz then shining gold and then the high parts with burnished gold It really turns out great. Same here. Works best I think if you leave the Tin Bits to show through in the recesses of the...

Some very good points, Delekth. But, ... with regards to #5, I have to quote General Eisenhower: "Plans are useless, but planning is indespensable". I agree, you need to plan. But not one plan, several of them. By formulating several plans, you are preparing for multiple situations that you might be...

I have also opted to use a dark brown flesh tone for my Dark Elves. And it was because of the Witch Elves that I chose this scheme: I had bought a few witch elves long before I began playing Warhammer because I wanted some female figures for D&D. I ended up painting them dark pretty much just on a w...

Try this one with Dark Riders: Put a Noble with the Death Mask in a unit and skirt the flanks (try to avoid getting within 6" of anything) until you can go after your opponent's artillary and/or mages. The terror can reek havok in his backfield and then you have a unit that can charge into his rear ...

A few things come to mind: First, the rule for only being able to charge what a unit (or mounted character) can "see" in it's 90 degree firing arc. This is dumb. Unless everyone is wearing a post-tramautic neck brace into battle, they would be capable of turning their heads in any direction, just li...

I've been using a mixture of Storm Blue and Chaos Black as the base color for my entire DE army so far. With a touch of Snot Green on some of the highlights. It would be great to share some photos of our armies. Is there a public gallary located here on Druchii.net anywhere? If not, do you think we ...

I have been quite successful when deploying two seperate units of ten on high ground near the center of the battlefield. This allows you to either concentrate their combined firepower on a single enemy unit, or split it between units if needed. Also, I often forego the shields, standard bearer and u...
