Dracothjay Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Anyone know of any exile power builds? Thinking of starting exiles, although new elves r coming. I'm wondering as if old DE models are rolling in to a new battletome then I want to get in early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayple Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Power units: shades, shadowblade, reaper bolt throwers, the various dreadlords (the cold one dreadlord works well with the old cold one knights) Generally, with exiles you get your synergies from the dreadlords/malekith. Shades gives you objective priority, or could ambush if not needed for that. Shadowblade is one of the best assassins out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Team man, shades look strong! I have shadowblade and a tenebrael shard so I'm gonna try a list with them both in. I love the look of darkling covens, but is it worth getting any DE units with new aelves released this summer? I don't want to buy loads of dark aelves then a whole new shadowkin releases and I've wasted money you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless money and paint time isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 That's my plan, but I do see great potential in darkling covens, and talking from a fan of the models and how they look ofcourse lol. i shall sit and wait very impatiently I think. I do have a dreadlord on dragon, shadowblade, mistweaver siah and tenebrael shard already painted however...... something tells me that Siah and Shard will be a part of this new release. Maybe a keyword warscroll change in the mix. Well......I hope anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleun Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Do you want to include only the old warscrolls with the "Exiles" Keyword? if yes: Try the Cauldron of Blood. That Shrine affects all the Units with the Exiles Keyword in the old Warscrolls. Also you may find some abilities of your leaders that affect your chosen units in a positive way. if no: Dark Elves/Exiles got splitted into Sub-Factions. You know that already. Units like the Black guard lost their Ability in conjunction with Malekith, but got +1 Bravery. In that case we lost a lot of the possible synergies. Anyway powerful units are the Deadlord on Dragon, Drakewpawn Knights, Reaper Bolt Thrower and the Executioners. It all depends on your List now. To find some extra shennenigans with the Order keyword you could play around with the Hurricanum, the Loremaster, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yeah, my club plays compendium and sub faction. Really relaxed club. Compendium has synergies that work very well, dreadlords command abilities are amazing. I seriously can't wait to try the shard and shadowblade combo! Do you think darkling covens will get some new additions with the new releases in summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayple Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Darkling coven probably won't get any new additions anytime soon, since the upcoming aelves are likely to be a sub-faction of their own. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Dark aelves/aelves as a whole got combined more properly (proper keywords, synergies, etc) in a book of their own in a distant future, similar to the new Khorne book.

Kaleun Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 super excited if new Dark Elve/Shadow Elves would be coming!! combination Tenebrael Shard+Shadowblade is invalid due to the necessity of the exiles keyword which the Shard doesnt have. You can use the new Assassine Warscroll instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Oh ******, forgot that the assassin doesn't have the exiles keyword, shadowblade does! Bummer. Yeah, well I've got money put aside for th shadow elves new release when it hits in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
