[darkken20]

ok so were just playing around with list's when i made these one. i thought i would lose for sure. when i fought my friend but it realy kicked ass. im think of taking it to a tourament. let me know what you?

dreadlord with lifetaker, guiding eye,amour of darkness, and luke stone.

master as bsb(hydra banner), with heavey armour, sheild and cloak

2 assassin both extra weapon and one has ruine of knaine

3x 20 repeater crossbows full command and sheilds dreadlord in one of these units

2x 20 warriors, full command, spear, one has banner of murder and one has banner of the eternal flame

19 blackguard full command, ring of hoteck and wailing banner. master goes in these unit

2x war hydras

At it's core it's pretty solid. 2 Hydras are always nasty to deal with, and 60 RXB's can tear stuff up. That said, the lack of a mage is a big problem, especially with the new take on the Ring of Hotek only working if the caster is within 12" of the ring....I can see some magic causing you a BIG problem.

what should i do then

[Jack Shrapnel]

we play down at Nexus every Thursday and there's a tournament this Sunday the fifth if you want to test it out....

seems like a really painful shooting phase for sure....

Hey as a dark elf player that list has potentia but needs some tweaking, no magic is a big problem, you used to be able to pull it off in 7th with the ring of hotek, but it got kinda nerfed in 8th ed, and with all the magic flying around you don't want your hydras going poof in the first round, alsoblack guard arn't the be all and end all anymore, with the 20 cap, and dying as fast as regular elves, althought i love the models they just arn't doing it for me anymore, i'd also advize against taking the hydra banner with step up gainng only 1 attack in subseqent ranks, your paying 75 points for 1 more row of attacks with ususally isnt worth it, im a big advicate of the COB it has worked wonders for me and can protect frail units and can put out the hurt by giving your spearmen killing blow
