Starting Dark Elves with only one RR?
Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2017 10:34 am
I'm about to start a league playing Dark Elves and I was wondering if anyone's been trying them out with only one RR?
I totally aggree with the common understanding that the strongest roster is:
4xBlitzers, 1xRunner, 6xLineman, 2xRR
But I thought, I might try something more fun and less reliable:
3 x Blitzers
2 x Witch Elf
1 x Runner
5 x Lineman
1 x RR
I've done one RR with Wood Elves recently (taking both Wardancers and the Treeman from start), and it worked quite well, although it was hard. Again, I knew it wasn't optimal, but it was more fun and challenging. Wood Elves are also more forgiving, I find, as a single War Dancer can always change the game all by itself. Dark Elves don't have the same options, so what's your experience/thoughts? Are they too hard to run with only one RR?
The league is a 10 game league with five opponents:
Orc
Human
Bretonnia
Vampire
Norse
I'm probably the most experienced coach in the league, so that's worth taking into consideration as well.
Thanks in advance for all your thoughts!
