Hey all. Just a little fun list for a Saturday when I don't usually post anything. This isn't a list I will play, but its a radical departure from the norm, and there are people out there who love Witch Elves. If you own 90 Witch Elves and 3 Cauldron of Bloods, God help you.
Units and their explanations as follows...
Supreme Sorceress
-Level 4
-PoK
-Power Scroll
-330
[Witch Elves lists are weak on magic by nature. Hopefully this gives them the chance to first turn Purple Sun the warmachines that would otherwise eat this list for breakfast. Also note, she can't join any units in this list. You CAN, however, get 4+ Look Out Sir saves for nearby units backed up by the Pendant. Don't expect her to survive for more than a couple of turns, so get the most out of her as early as possible.]
Crone Hellebron
-350
[Hellebron makes Witch Elves core, so she is a must. She is also one of the baddest close combat characters in the game. Makes one opponent lose an attack, and then gets 6+d3 strength 10 attacks of her own. With re-rolls to hit. At initiative 8. Anything that doesn't have Always Strikes First dies, period. Pick which unit you put her in based on the opponent. If he has 4 Hydras or Hell Pits, put her in the Flame Banner unit, otherwise put her in the Standard of Discipline unit.]
Death Hag
-Cauldron of Blood
-Battle Standard Banner
-225
Death Hag
-Cauldron of Blood
-200
Death Hag
-Cauldron of Blood
-200
[These primarily give your Witch Elves ward saves and make them Stubborn with BSB rerolls using Hellbrons LD10. If needed, they can give Killing Blow, but usually the extra attack is useless. 5+ ward will be your staple.]
30x Witch Elves
-Musician
-Standard
-Banner of Murder
30x Witch Elves
-Musician
-Standard
-Standard of Discipline
30x Witch Elves
-Musician
-Standard
-Banner of Eternal Flame
-995
[Lot's of poisoned attacks. No saves. Cauldrons give good saves and Stubborn with re-rolls. These do damages.]
4x War Hydra
-700
[I don't need to explain why 4 War Hydras is a scary thing.]
=Total: 3,000
Enjoy!
Well, it's certainly 'different'.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any thoughts on a Cult of Khaine list that has a broader variety of troops and could still do well for itself? I tried and tried to make the Executioners into an attractive concept and the best I could manage was poor man's Black Guard (stick a BSB Death Hag with the Banner of Hag Graef in there and enjoy S6 that strikes in the right order).
I like it. High Elves don't get a reroll on ASF vs. Witch Elves. Yay!
ReplyDeleteHowever that's A LOT of metal Witch Elves. They are beautiful models though. :)
ReplyDeleteI would try my best to find another model in plastic that resembles witch elves, 90 metal witch elves would be like $400.
ReplyDeleteVon, I don't think Executioners can be fixed. They need the ability to carry a 35 point magic banner. With the hag bsb you just suicide a character into them and kill the hag and they fall apart.
I like it, in as it looks fun. Lots of witches, lots of attacks, and lots of everything dying horribly. You're right- warmachines could do some serious damage to this list.
ReplyDeleteThe Sorceress seems a little out of place, though I really don't know what else you could do. Put her on a peg? lol
