Cancon prep.

Looking at trying to figure out my Dark elf army. Trying not to be too cheesy but would like to be quite strong.

Let’s assume that the magical model painting elves will paint my army for me (thanks Kat!).

My list is currently:

Characters

Lv 4 Shadow Soreceress, sacrificial dagger

L2 Fire Sorceress, dispel scroll

Master BSB on cold one, 1+ armour save, hydra banner (all models, including mounts, +1 attack in first round of combat)

Cauldron of Blood (never leave the temple without one!)

Core

17 warriors, full command, standard of discipline (lv 4 goes here)

19 repeater crossbows, shields, champ and muso (lvl 2 probably goes here)

21 Corsairs, extra hw, banner, muso, frenzy banner

5 harpies

5 harpies

Special

10 Cold one knights, full command, banner of murder (armour piercing)

20 Black Guard (one of the most under costed units of all time), standard, muso, flaming banner

10 Witch elves

6 shades, extra hw

2398

Had a game against Tucky’s ogres the other day. Very close all the way through. Learnt that mindrazored witch elves don’t even slow an ogre bus down. Lv 4 died really easy. I’m pretty sure I want a 4++ save on her (esp given death magic and orc ‘eadbuts).

The knights are probably sub optimal but I wanted a unit that made games quicker (both to win and to lose), and that worked without magic support. Fully buffed that unit is a bit silly (+1 attack from cauldron + charge = 18 S4 attacks (cold ones) + 25 WS5, S6, armour piercing, hatred attacks, striking at I6 – without magic).

All thoughts are very welcome.

Keep cool kids!

The M13 Atogatog will be run on Sunday 19th Aug.
As we haven’t drafted in a long time I have decided we will do our first Atogatog draft since the release of 9th edition. The draft will be at my place and start at 11:00 sharp….don’t be late as you will be holding everyone else up.
To give everyone a chance at keeping the good rares they open each player will be able to keep one rare that they open, which must be nominated when they open it before passing the pack on! This means you if you open a better rare later then you will have to let it go into the rare pool at the end. The remaining rares will be drafted as normal. There will also be some prize packs to hand out as well.

Players Confirmed:
