    It comes to 2000. I’m thinking Misthavn for the flanking (but average magic), Anvilgard Black Market for the extra loot. Thoughts?

  3. I have amassed a miscellaneous ton of fantasy and AoS now and would love to use as much of it as possible in the same army!

    I have -

    the makings of a fair quantity of Freeguild - crossbows, handguns, guard, greatswords

    Shadow Warriors, Darkshards, some handbow Corsairs

    Some Bretonnian Questing Knights

    A classic Manticore w various possible riders. Could star as Griffin, Phoenix, even titchy black dragon?!

    Old HE Swordmasters - considering using them as themselves via Eldritch Council FAQ, as Executioners or Bladelords

    DoK - 10 Doomfire Warlocks, Shadowstalkers 

    IDK - Thrallmaster, Tidecaster, Thralls, Allopex

    A big selection of elven and human foot heroes including a Calligrave

    Would love advice as to what City / build would be best for taking as much as the above as possible at 2000 pts :)

  4. I agree that the popularisation of 3 types seems unhelpful in its effects. Back in 6th it felt like everyone was interested both in lore and rules, now the general vibe often seems one or the other

    Might also be a result of less characterful mad lore-based comedy rules? Less elaborate magic items etc customisation? More emphasis on nigh on compulsory special characters?

  5. Behold the arms and styles of Mahalte Lamorel, Duchess of Bryshavon and of the Daughter, Mistress of the Manticaura, Protectress of Nimue, Amethyst Battlemage of the Collegiate Arcane in Lethis, ruler in Shyish, Ulgu and Hysh, etc etc; called by some traitors 'the Basemage'

    My Teclandec protagonist in the worldwide Animosity III: The Prime Dominion campaign :)

  6. Build second Black Dragon as a Dreadlord

    The 7-8 Assassins (respect btw!) could be Shadow Warriors, allied DoK Khainite Shadowstalkers with another model or two found somewhere (one of your Sorceresses or Witches as a Shroud Queen? Or just one or two of your miscellaneous skirmishers? ), or you could field just one as, er, an Assassin :)

    Use Stormcast rules for your Bolt Throwers

    Skirmishers as more Shadow Warriors or Shadowstalkers

    Beastmaster on Manticore - hardest but coolest. Could count as Sorc / Dreadlord on Dragon or FG general or even battlemage! on Griffon 

    I think everyone else can play themselves :)

    Then go Cities with DoK allies and you’re sorted. Now just about makes sense in lore again

    Next 500 points depends if you want to stay Dark Elves only or go in a more varied Cities direction? Like if you made the Beastmaster an FG general you could back him up with Freeguild, whether actual humans or elf converted proxies (you could even mess with some of your Cold One knights in some way to represent Demigryphs? Or convert new aelves on demis)

    BTW the witches would probably be more effective all fielded as shadowstalkers too!

    And - If you don’t mind about losing artillery and don’t want to mix in Freeguild etc, maybe consider Har Kuron to get MORE Shadowstalkers in!!
