A few Dark Elf Assassin questions

[Chico]

Hey.

I'm using Warhammer Armies and a number of questions have popped up:

1.
What profile does a Dark Elf Assassin use? The same as the standard Character of the same lvl?

2.
In WhFB 3rd book it states a Assassin isn't a character. So what points limit should he be taken from (Rank or file or the Characters)?

3.
When using Warhammer Armies, do you still have to add 25 points to the Assassin's cost?

4.
Not a question which needs answering (Ha! suck it Mr Ass lol), but have you noticed the marauder Assassin figures have Icon's of Slaanesh but are Adepts of Khaine.

Cheers Chico

You may remove the quetsion mark if you will, but a sentence beginning by "have you noticed..." still is a question ...

Sorry I can't help you on any of this though.

I was looking at this a few weeks ago and I was confused by the lack of clarity but I reckon..

1. What profile does a Dark Elf Assassin use? The same as the standard Character of the same lvl?

Yep. See table on page 33 of WA.

2. In WhFB 3rd book it states a Assassin isn't a character. So what points limit should he be taken from (Rank or file or the Characters)?

Characters because he's a hero. See table on page 33 of WA.

3. When using Warhammer Armies, do you still have to add 25 points to the Assassin's cost?

No. See table on page 33 of WA.

4. Not a question which needs answering (Ha! suck it Mr Ass lol), but have you noticed the marauder Assassin figures have Icon's of Slaanesh but are Adepts of Khaine.

Nope!

Thanks Bug confirms what I was thinking but, it seems odd that the Assassin's get all the bonuses for free(Poison, hidden deployment)

Yep, completely agree. I'm going by what WA is saying but it does feel wrong or like something is being missed out somewhere. *shrug*

I figure it just makes up for the fact that the minimum army size is three times that of any other.

LOL! Please don't remind me of that!!

Heh 40 Warriors, 20 Xbows and 10 Witch Elves is alittle OOT I agree, but lucky for me I wanted most of those figures.

Only annoying thing is Xbows are costing a arm and leg to get, (Have a total of 6 Grr) while everything else apart from a few odds and sods have been gotten quite easy (Just got 16 Warriors and witch elves for £18 of the same seller)

To be fair it does give you a solid core to your army but if you're aiming at 2k it's about 800 points gone on your pre-requisites.

What era of crossbows are you collecting? The C09 slottas usually go for £2 each, if you shop around, which isn't too bad. Obviously the nutters on ebay want £5 per model which is way OTT.

 

[Chico]

Remember if you're building up a army via Warhammer Armies the army lists are designed to make 3k. So for 2k you only need 2/3 of the pre-requisites, but may not reduce below 5 models per pre-requisite.

I'm collecting CO9 slottas and MM70, I want a unit of 10 of each.

I don't normally do this, I go hardcore and include all the minimums even in a 1000 pt force. However I make the exception with my Dark elves a 1000pt skirmish with them becomes a bit predictable otherwise. If you are interested I probably have a metric ton of the plastic warhammer regiments DE crossbows knocking about somewhere they work really well with the lead ones you are collecting. That's the second time today I've dangled my plastic elven wares at someone on this site.

I was trying for a full metal force, but like my Undead I may have to cave in and get the plastics. I'll need 13 if you have those for trade?
