If you play 1850 or less your armies are quite a bit smaller than what you used to see. Orks & IG still have lots of cheap units so they can still field large armies. Even Tyranids most units cost a lot more now.<br /><br />Good thought process on your lists Nick. WWP will certainly be a fun army, not sure yet how strong it will be versus well played top tier lists (IG, SW & BA).<br /><br />Second list I am seeing lots of these spammed lists for de, nothing much new here and to be honest my gut feeling is it wont be able to go toe to toe versus strong list. Lances are just not that strong versus armor - they can shake & stun well, but penetrating not so good...<br /><br />67% to hit<br />33% to penetrate<br />33% to wreck or destroy<br /><br />That's 7% when you take everything into consideration to wreck or destroy and that's cut in half if your target has a cover save - 3.5% - terrible! This is why I think you'll need Wyches running across the table or spilling out of raiders to finish off with their haywire grenades. It's going to be tough versus heavy mech lists so no EZ button as yet.<br /><br />GTerminus Esthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216648052452417162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734278524221372339.post-25860905302192410422010-11-09T06:39:20.351-08:002010-11-09T06:39:20.351-08:00I'm going to stay with some friends for most o...I'm going to stay with some friends for most of saturday and will be doing DE playtesting all day.I'll kick both lists to 2K (why doesn't anyone want to play less then 2K anymore?) and let you know how it goes.Shawn Lowreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122891549361599552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734278524221372339.post-39928947326246601922010-11-09T02:55:15.294-08:002010-11-09T02:55:15.294-08:00I really can't see any way of getting any dece...I really can't see any way of getting any decent staying power into the Dark Eldar, but I think I am going for a balanced hybrid of aerial assault shooting and webways for the beasts and reavers.speedfreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542519587587013303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734278524221372339.post-17085070345651938462010-11-09T01:45:08.964-08:002010-11-09T01:45:08.964-08:00The first list looks good.
