50 eternal guard? 20 black knights? :blink:

im sorry, but are these people touched in the head? What a huge, massive, stupid points sink!

I'll tell you what you need to counter these 2 units:

eternal guard - clanrats or storm vermin. in the flank. they get standard, outnumber and kills, you get standard, outnumber, 3 ranks, flank and kills. nuff said.

black knights - ratling gun or warpfire thrower. Seriously, these 2 things will pwn a stupid unit of 20 knights. Hell, if the RG stands in front of the knight unit, shoots it, and then shoots it again as a stand and shoot reaction, there wont be a whole lotta knights left.

You kids these days have it so easy, what with your Plague Furnaces and your Hellpit Abominations and your Bonebreaker Warlords. Back in MY day, all we had was Slaves and Clanrats!...and auto-hit Ratling Guns...and skirmishing Jezzails...and 2D6 Warp Lightning...and Lead From The Back...wait, what was my arguement again?

Well loads as many clanrats units as you can with they're slaves. Get a battle standard bearer and load yourself on magic. For lord choice either get 2 warlord one general and the other the fellblade. Or get a Grey seer on a bell and a warlord for leadership (the bell might not be necessery but at 3000 pts it's usually quite nice).

The only army that seems truly dangerous is the dwarf, the fear causing banner can help a lot. otherwise just play it a bit boringly, take table quarter and take down is shoothing with your magic.

As chieftainskritchskritch said take two ratling gun, if the enemy as any shooting just keep them hidden. Don't worry if they don't shoot anything you're still blocking a 15" radius from any light units. Against army whitout shooting make them regret it dearly.
I have a few bare metal dark elf model for sale, if interested pm me.
