I am considering starting a new Druchii army, but as is my fashion these days, to build it in escalation.
~ 500 points. (The start of my personified hero's legend)
[using my local stores Border Patrol rules: 1 Hero (125 points max), at least one unit of ten models from the core choices and upto 1 choice from the special or rare choices]
Eschewing standard line warfare as out dated and seriously inefficient way to kill ones enemies, my Master would ride with a bodyguard of Dark Riders, employ Shades as scouts for his raids and entice harpies to follow his forces with offerings of raw flesh and occasional pacts with the cult of Khaine.
Master, Heavy Armour, Shield, Sea Dragon Cloak, 1 Repeater Handbow and a Dark Steed.
10 Dark Riders, Musician, Repeater Crossbows.
6 Harpies.
6 Shades.
~ 1000 points. (At the end of his first campaign)

Modelling Notes:
I have a thing against using metal miniatures in my armies. Stops me being lazy and gets lovely conversions as I am forced to make them.
The Dark Riders will be using the horses and legs from the Glade Riders, torsos and arms of Dark Elf Warriors and the hooded heads from the Glade Guard. Its expensive but looks great.
The Cold One Chariot will be made with Cold Ones and the White Lion Chariot.
The Hydra will be made from the High Elf Dragon model and spare Cold Ones.
Harpies will be made from Dryads and a fair amount of Green Stuff.
Any suggestions, warnings, ideas or comments welcome and appreciated.
