hey guys!
first, let me say that english is not my first language, so sorry for weird syntaxis or mistakes
New noob warhammer and super neo noob druchi player here!
I hope i'm in the right section of the forum, if not, i humbly apologize and will move this topic in the right section
I started playing warhammer like three months ago, and i’m still learning the ropes. lost a lots of battels against my two friends, they both play HE mainly, and sometimes VC and Beastmen. We play with the 8th edition rules.
My main army is a WOC army with big bad monsters and hellcannons, and i was only able to get two draws against them (they are good, i’m bad, and in my opinion HE is probably the strongest army), and lost alll of the other battles. BUT i’m not here to talk about ruinous powers and chaos spawns!
My gf tried to play some skirmish, i taught her the basics of the game and she loved it! setting and everything! We explored the lore together, and she told me that in her opinion the best cool looking armies and badasses were chaos and dark elves.
Since one of my friends wanted to sell his old DE army, i bought it for my fiancee, added some units i was able to find among old players who didn’t play anymore, and now we can finally play together and also bring the pain to the much hated Ulthuan shores! We plan on challenge my friends who play HE.
So, since i will be testing the dark elves against HE to see how they play out, their strenght and weaknesses, can you guys give me some advice on how to best prepare for a battle against High Elves? The best builds, magic, combos, strategy and tips to be able to prevail against the magic supremacy and strenght of HE?
Am i wrong here, or are High elves slightly stronger than dark elves? Seems to me that their magic abilities are superior, and phoenix guards and special units are better than ours. But again, i only read the manual twice, and i’m absolutely not a veteran player. I’m sure they can be beaten and that druchii also have their advantages over them. Can you help me ?
Here is so far what i have been able to put together:
36 dreadspears
35 darkshards
around 60 corsairs
*all full command
14 knights on cold ones
9 shades
19 black guards, full command
2 heroes or special characters - don’t know how to call them, the ones with the little dragon on the shoulder and long hair
1 sorceress on foot
1 sorceress on cold one
3 reaper boltthrowers
2 hydras
1 assassin
If possible, i would like to use these units and save some money, and unless it is really necessary i’m not planning on buyng more units. Do u think i can work out something good from this list? Do i have a chance to beat the much hated HE?
I might be able to get a morathi model for a good price, do u think she might be a good addition for this army? Thank you very much for your inputs guys
