New Dark Elf Team

Hey all,

I am working on a new Dark Elf team, and I wanted to things from you all. First, check out my initial roster idea, and let me know what you think.

Linemen x8
Thrower
Blitzer x2
RR 2
FF 5

I'm tempted to toss the thrower or one of the blitzers in favor of higher FF and/or another RR.

And the second thing I want is ideas for a team name. The figures I am going to be using are 40K Dark Eldar's, so keep that in mind when naming the team.

Thanks!

Chris

I would drop the thrower, make him the 2nd purchase (behind the apoth). As for a name; Cabal of the 16 deaths.

Okay, so:

Lineman x9
Blitzer x2
RR x2
FF x7

That would be my choice.

Wrong forum for this thread, it should be in Tactics and Team Development.

You are probably right... :oops:

Can this be moved? Or should I just go re-post it?

(All comments below should be prefaced by the warning that I am completely pissed at the moment.)

It can be moved, and one of the moderators will probably do so when they read your comments.

If in a long term league, I'd ditch the second blitzer for another reroll and added fan factor. You can replace the niggled and gimped linemen with positional players and become a force 10-15 games down the road.

Name eh? How about WPAS Torture club (Witches present, advisory suggested)

Hi, I recently started a dark elf team and also asked for assistance.
I went for the classic:
2 Blitzers
9 Linemen
2 RR
7 FF

I do not regret it a second. I already bought my apo after game 1 and next game I'll go or my first additionnal player, a witch (I do not go for a blitzer as 2 lineman already have block and the thrower can wait some more IMHO).

How's this for a team name?

The Blackville Bloodhawks

Good name for a DE team :wink:

I also went for the 9 Line 2 Blitzers 2 RR 7 FF route. Worked fairly well until my team hit the brick wall of a Chaos Dwarf team known as Creeping Death. That was all in the dice though...won 3-1, but 4 SI and 2 deaths pretty much sealed my fate for the next few games heh.

Funny, funny, funny!! :lol:

I think I'm going to stick with the Bloodhawks, though... I like the idea of a red and black colour scheme. :)

good...there's always something to be said for originality and coming up with your own ideas.
