So, I impulse bought 20 old blackguard models and figured I would build an army using them. At first I was going to stick with darkling covens allegiance but kept finding myself drifting to a more aelf alliance. This is the list I came up with:
Heroes:
Anointed on Frostheart Phoenix
Anointed on Frostheart Phoenix
Isharaan Soulscryer
Archmage(mounted)
Battleline:
Namarti Thralls x30
Darkshards x10
Darkshards x10
Other:
Blackguard x30
Executioners x10
Executioners x10
So, the phoenixes and thralls give me some reach and the archmage can sneak around while casting his bubble to improve pheonix saves and being a decent dispel. And forming the center is my darkling coven cohort. Let me know what you think.
