GT I went to this winter, the High Elf army that did the best had no magic. It did have a prince on star dragon.

Anytime you run into a cannon heavy list, any monster is going to go down in flames. Only a few armies have that option though, so it can still be pretty devestating against most.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3025787.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3025787.page GMT HE dragons in 8th - any way to make them work?

i have yet to watch my dragon die and i cant count how many enemy monsters thought they could hack it just to find they managed one maybe 2 wounds until they were ravaged by my star dragon, moon draogns are meh, and persoanlly if i took a lord i would not be putting him on a sun dragon...

the star dragon is VERY dangerous and unless your oppenents are packing MORE than one cannon they are in trouble, 7 wounds str 7 ws 7 6 attacks with a meen little elf on top is bad news for most people, 7 wounds also meens if that first cannon shot isnt a good one (heaven forbid it miss) there will be issues very very shortly

my exp with the firebreathing lizard anyways!

cheers

Even if you survive all this, there is a big chance that the enemy will just throw a ranked up unit towards the Dragon. Steadfast will keep him there for a long while. Not to mention Magic (Flesh to Stone, Regrowth, Invocation of Nehek).

Sure if the opponent is stupid enough to throw his War Hydra / Hell Pit Abomination / Treeman or something similar towards your Dragon, then you will probably come out on top.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3028494.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3028494.page GMT Re:HE dragons in 8th - any way to make them work?
Regarding magic I wouldn't be too worried, us High Elves have a pretty decent magic defense to say the least, it's cannon and similar that has me worried. Of course, there's always IF dwellers to look out for, but that's what the movement phase and clever deployment is for. That's not as easy versus cannon users like dwarves though...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3029232.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3029232.page GMT HE dragons in 8th - any way to make them work? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3029440.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3029440.page GMT HE dragons in 8th - any way to make them work?

A level 2 with High Magic and Annullian Crystal is pretty decent at shutting down the enemy's magic. Besides, you could go for a Dragon Mage just to get the dragon and have points left over for your Lord. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3029656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3029656.page GMT HE dragons in 8th - any way to make them work? ws), dwellers goes off the dragons str, pit/black sun go off the elf's initiative per the FAQ so you only fail on 6's

On the offensive front a star dragon will put out an average of 10 wounds on the charge and 8-9 after that (the elf might get weaker depending on his gear setup). Care is needed to deal with champions though as a challenge can make your day. When I do run a dragon I run another hero beside him on an eagle for the simple purpose of taking the challenge. The eagle dude has nothing but defensive gear to deal with massed bow fire as he is an easy target. If the champion isnt a threat he can run around on his own adding to combat resolution in various fights. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3029703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3029703.page GMT HE dragons in 8th - any way to make them work? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3032356.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/380617/3032356.page GMT
