Subject: Small 1000 pt games - My DE vs Skaven and Lizardmen
Ok fellow Generals, so far your help and advice has been invaluable!!! I am still yet to notch up a victory but at least I'm not getting smashed by everyone....
Hopefully I'll start getting some battle reports up soon (victorious ones hopefully)?
But for the time being I need some tactical advice for next weekend. I am playing a short 1000pt game vs Skaven and another game vs Lizardmen which I need to make a 1000pt list and a 1500pt list for and if we get time on the night we'll play a 1500pt game. If we're running short on time we'll go for the 1000pt game.
I am still struggling to remember what all of my units can do and what units are best vs my opponents various units?
Here is what I have available and keep in mind, I can substitute units I have for units I dont have....eg. Dark riders for doomfire warlocks....etc and I have now found my Island of Blood High Elves so I can substitute them in for Dark Elf units too....
And I can get my hands on another Reaper Bolt Thrower and I can quite easily use proxies for what I don't have too.

rough Idea, But going against skaven, take 40 spearmen with 2 assassins to deal with tarpits faster, and 2 units of 15 crossbows, since martial prowess.
I'll never be able to repay CA for making GW realize that The Old World was a cash cow, left to die in a field.

Witches are the ultimate answer to skaven hordes, followed by Corsairs with a Brewhag. You don't need to hit hard to kill Skaven. You just need to hit a LOT.
