Topic: Stealththeme KROOT/DE army,

[linear]

Hi ppl

Here's a draft for a stealth-themed army. It's all about not giving the opponent a chance to fire anything before it's too late. It lacks some AT power, besides the four dark lances, but I'm hoping that LOS will be blocked by mass carnage quite quickly, giving the dark lances room to finish off armoured opposition.

Although it's an experimental list, I do intend to field it in a  tournament setting. How do you think it'll fare? Imagine your army having to deal with it. How'd you do?

Well I have to say that it's a very creative and original approach towards an army list, but I have to ask... WHAT THE HELL?!!!!!  

About how well I would do against it. I have no idea. I'd wager that my normal army list could handle it well but I would have to change some of my tactics right off the bat. So for a game or two you'd probably give me a run for my money.

Being that most opponents would not expect it, I'd say that you'll probably be able to stun several opponents into submission. But anyone with serious anti-infantry tactics will most likely lay waste to it.

I definately give you an A+ for creativity though. Good luck with it.
