After a really bad expiriance with Lizardmen, I quit Warhammer for awhile and took up LotR SBG. The other day I looked over the new DE Army Book and thought they looked competitive and (potentially...) fun. So, I'm seriously considering starting a DE. Problem number one: money. I'm trying to scrape together a competitive starting army from mostly the $90 battalion coming out later this month. Here's what I came up with:
Heroes:
Master
> Cold one, lance, shield, heavy armor, SD cloak
Sorceress
> Lvl 2 mage, 2 x Dispel scolls
Core:
18 x DE Warriors
> Full command
10 x DE Warriors w/ RXBs
> Shields
15 x Corsairs
> Full command
Special:
5 x Cold One Knights [Master goes here]
> Full command
Rare:
R. Bolt Thrower
Total: 1000 pts on the dot. Outside of the Batalion box, I only need the heroes and bolt thrower.
Mind you, I don't yet have the Army Book so I don't know about DE specific magic items / upgrades / ect. If / when I decide to go foward with another Warhammer army, I'll buy the book.
On a side note, what have your expiriances with the new DEs been? Do they require practice to get good with? Is it difficult to create an effective list? What is your most feared / difficult opponent?
Thanks for any help.
