new army?

was playing about with potential new dark elf armies and cam along something i think i might like. Having played beasts, mortals and vc i fancied a shooty army so idea is built around a flexible shooting phase combined with a strong fighting core. C&C as always

I suppose we should just be glad that it doesn't contain a Hydra.

Looks very strong m8. Personally I'd drop 2 BG and replace them with Shades so that you could have 3 units of 6/7 rather than 2 of 9.

might do that cos the way youbuy the models is packs of 5 so works out nicely.
