Too many VC/DE players thanks to POWUH KREEP!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/787114.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/787114.page GMT Starting but can`t decide what to pick
DE have incredible sorcerers .
They have nice battle force with useful units.

repeater bow cross bow are cheap , give them a shield.
Then they'll be able to absorb damage in CC .]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/787116.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/787116.page GMT Starting but can`t decide what to pick

I`m basicly after
*A general overview of all 3 armies weakness, strengths, conversion options, hardness to paint and finally some people ideas for some theme. I hope i`m not asking to much. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/787165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/787165.page GMT Starting but can`t decide what to pick
Dark Elves:
Strengths:
Good Close Combat Ability
Offensive Magic
High Leadership

Cons:
Weak to Average armor saves
Expensive Points-Wise
Have problems fighting Heavy Armor

Conversion Options: Glade Guard can become your Dark Riders if converted, A great theme would be a Dark Elf Corsair Army, or an army from one of the six cities.

Wood Elves:
Strengths:
Great Maneuverability
Shooting and Magic are both great.
They can hit hard in Close Combat.

Cons:
They won't last long in Close Combat
Poor Armor Saves
Slight Learning Curve

Conversion Options: Wood Elf armies can go by Seasons, (I.E. Winter, Fall, Etc.) This can also be used as a theme.

Vampire Counts:
Strengths:
Cause Fear and are Immune to Psychology
Large amounts of replaceable troops.
Strong Magic Phase

Weaknesses:
When the VC General dies, so does your army
Often dependent on the Magic Phase
Not-too-Stellar Close Combat

Conversion: Pirates would be great for conversions/theme.

A Battalion is a great way to start out WHFB, but you probably know that.

I'd get:
Dryads for WE
Spearmen for DE
and Zombies for VC

All three are standard units in the army, and fulfill a core choice.

Disagree. Unless you're talking in a literal sense about Witch Elves, then the Dark Elf model range is decidedly unsexy (Executioners, Corsairs and Cold One Knights excepted).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/789858.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/789858.page GMT Starting but can`t decide what to pick WE, as a first army. So now there is two to choose from. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/791235.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/791235.page GMT Re:Starting but can`t decide what to pick http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/791538.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/791538.page GMT Starting but can`t decide what to pick lot of variety in your lord choices. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/801414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/801414.page GMT Re:Starting but can`t decide what to pick DE. Not just because I play them but I believe that most of their units look good on the table. Da Blak Gobbo said it better.

As to conversions here are a few - Dark Riders = Wood Elf Glade Runners + Warriors, Harpies (one of the few model's i don't like) = Deamonettes + Wings, Cold One Chariot = High Elf Chariot + CoK box. Many of the DE lords on monsters = CoK + beast. Lots of conversion potential, somebody has a good link on his sig but I cant remember his name.

I also decided the theme of the army. It`s Krudenwald Fiend on pg 28 of the VC book. So now i need a guide to paint Skeleton Warriors, making snowy bases, and any advice where i can get a werewolf minature.(count as varghulf) Thanks for all your help. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/824305.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/824305.page GMT Starting but can`t decide what to pick DE.They have great fluff.Plus the models look great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/824468.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244561/824468.page GMT
