I was talking to a games workshop staff member the other day and he said in his 2k dark elf army your lucky if he has a unit of foot troops.��
He uses units of dark riders, cold one nights,shades, 4 bolt throwers and a lord on dragon.��:(��Personally I dont really see that as being balanced list but thats what hes going to be using the in tourney im entering
I thought that if I used a lord on taurus that Id be able to challange his general…
I could either use a hobgoblin hero on wolf as my 4th choice or a Bc Hero mixed in with the bull centres.
I was thinking about using 2x 25 cd warriors with hand weapons, heavy armour and sheild and a unit of 20 blunderbusses, and 20 Orc Big Un’s as my core. Wolfboys and Bull centres taking the flank…
Blunderbusses probably aren’t a good choice against a list with little-to-no infantry. Fewer potential hits.
Against an army with lots of Fast Cavalry, I would load up on Earthshakers and Magic, and use Bolthrowers to counter the Dragon.
A Taurus Lord could also help against the Cavalry, or against Chariots if he has the Gauntlets and a Greatweapon, but make sure the Dark Elf guy isn’t taking too many Reaper Bolt Throwers, or he’ll be beef-kebab in no time.
If the guy is taking Reapers, bring along a unit or two of Wolf Riders, to take them down asap.
If Chariots are in the list, use either the Lord setup above, or a Hobgoblin Hero with the Gauntlets, a Greatweapon and a Wolf.
