As above. Those are the units that I could use in my existing army (note the lack of Phoenix guard).

The arena of death area is not the right place for this

Tell us the rest of your army and we can give better advice, perhaps a few words on your playing style too...

Sorry for putting this in AOD, it was a mistake...
Anyway, I adopt an agressive approach to Warhammer: Strike fast, leave none alive. Skirmishers are great in my opinion: but Swordmaster type infantry are also good. I'm not too big on cavalry. I'm more an archer general. So, in short: THE GOOD Ranged Units Cheap units Skirmishers Things that strike first THE BAD Great weapons Lances However I'm relatively new, so don't hesitate to correct me. I've only just begun with HE. --------------------

That seems a bit contradictory.. You want strike hard and fast, basically cavalry are the only thing that do that for you. They move faster than infantry, and they hit hard with lances.
Go for silver helms. They rock. |

Also, when you get the money, get some Reavers aswell. They really suit a fast, hard hitting army and I find essential to any HE army... Theyre great for getting around the enemies flanks and assisting your regiments in winning combats...

I was told by several people not to get reavers due to their pts cost...

...they are essential, dont listen to those people, they obviously do not realize the advantages to having reavers

Sorry guys bur Ellyrian Reavers are not worth it. They have a 5+ armour save (cannot be improved) & are only really any good if you have them with bows, by that time there already a point more than fully equiped Silver Helms. You other guys can use what you want i'm just rambaling about the many faults that Ellyrian Reavers have.
I think Silver Helms would really suit you for your Strike fast, leave none alive role. -------------------- The Imperial Guard.

Reavers are definitely not essential, I've played without them every game I've played with High Elves. But they are also far from useless, if they match your playing style and you learn how to use them well they can be a great choice. Don't knock a unit until you know how to use it. And if they are so bad, then why is it phoenix guard and seaguard constantly being complained about for revisions, and reavers never get a mention?
Swordmasters and spearmen only have 5+ saves, are they crap too then?  |

Are Swordmasters & Spearmen just under 25pts a pop..... no. Oh & I never said Ellyrian Reavers were crap (even tough thats how I feel about them) I said they were not worth it. Get your facts right strewart   . This post has been edited by Apothecary on Oct 17 2005, 06:20 PM -------------------- The Imperial Guard.

Funny how some Dark Elf players win battles with armies mainly consisting of units almost identical to reavers. That is how useless they are
