Ultimate MSU ( E.T. )

Now that the 3 elves books are just one we can bring ( almost ) everything to the table . In my humble opinion the only thing we can't bring is low points wounds , since the less expensive units are core fighters for 9 pts ( not exactly that cheap ) . I'll try to list what we can bring : 2500 pts , ...

Re: White Lions Attacking Dark Elves

The " problem " is that you reroll against something that is actually attacking first , while rulewise it has no problem ( my fault , i should have written logically speaking ) it has a lot logically and fluffwise . I see it as a big problem even though rules are apparently pretty clear ( ...

Re: Magic, magic everywhere

Thanks for the response Shining Wolf. Where did you have your archmages in this list? Shadow in the archer bunker? And High in the White Lions ? I agree with what you say about the numbers. I'd be happy with 20-25 Phoenix Guard. But would want to try and get the Lions up to 30. Personally I love my...

Re: archaon

Good game . It is true that botwd is overpowered , but as far as i understand is almost the only eay to counter some things . Imho if your opponent doesn't like the banner you could always not take it , since it looks like ( but keep in mind i don't play against vc that much ) that he's not running ...

Both left flanks seem somehow frail to me , if i were you i think i might try to take down that lone chariot as fast as possible and turn the right flank towards the main block , setting up flanks charges , because i think he has not your movement bonus , since he runs a bigger blocks .
