hey, just finishing off painting the last few of my space marines and i'm looking into starting a new fantasy army.
I want something that is quite competitive, but not to the point where people won't play it in the local GW. I play the store manager pretty often who has skaven if that has any bearing on this.
I've been listening to the podhammer podcast (and if you haven't heard it then go look now!) and what I got from that was that Deamons are the top army, and that Vampires and Dark Elves are between them and the rest of the armies.
So i've had a look at the models for the dark elves and I saw the executioners. I LOVE THESE. I appreciate they're pretty much £2 each, and usually I try to (like most people) go for cheaper armies where possible - but I really like them and i'd like to build a force with at least two units of them at all times.
So I was thinking about something like this...
master Soulrender, Armour of darkness 120
12 warriors, command 87
16 crossbowmen, command 180
20 corsairs, command 225
5 cold one knights, command 175
15 executioners command 210
and thats 997 total.
I know thats only one unit of executioners, but it means that its just the batallion box, with £32 worth of executioners and a hero to add to it. Is that a competitive list? or am i going to lose horribly with it? Before i sink £90 into it I like to research exactly what I want so I settled with dark elves and bought the book, but not being a tournament gamer or having any experience with DE it'd be nice for some input
on a side note - 2 things: is there a model for Tullaris of Har Ganeth (the executioner champion character)? and if you were to use a master on foot but wanted a great weapon and him to look like an executioner.... any ideas?
thanks in advance, Waddy
