An elegant way of war...

...The Darkriders easily spotted the undead column marching towards their fort, swiftly the heralds of Nagarroth sped to the rear of their enemy hosts and striking at the latter's ammunition train, an unassembled trebuchet packed in a wagon was burnt. Being slow and sluggish, the undead host could barely react to the raiders, by the time crossbow bolts are fired, the saboteurs have rode to safety.

Without their siege machines, the undead could not hope to take out the druchii fortifications, one after another was shot down by the fearsome repeating crossbows. The dread Blackknights could not make their charge count and were drag down their mounts by Druchii spearmen...
Within hours an undead host was defeated by a Druchii garrision consisting of mainly CORE troops...

Sadly the above did not happen in a game of warhammer but rather a game of AGE of EMPIRES II that is adapted for warhammer. I simply took the units that have Druchii counterparts, pikemen, champions, Light Cavalry and the famous Chu ko nu(repeating crossbow). My enemy are Slyvannians who has a tech tree very close to the Celts. Reasoning that cold one knights are not THAT common, I choose not to use Cavaliers and have to rely on darkriders for scouting and warmachine hunting. I had quite a few cool limitations such as i can only upgrade my unit each time after surviving an attack with a certain number of dudes intact.

It work quite well but this is in a computer game(actually chu ko nu plus mass pikes is a winning chinese strategy in the game not with those limitations of coz). Can it work in warhammer itself? CanI field a druchii army that win battles with swift and precise attacks rather than the brute charge of Cold Ones and monsters. Sounds like a fun and elegant way to fight isn't it.




OR..... can the Wood Elves do this better
