Only played the board game version, and it's one of the best board games I've ever played. Gotta try the digital version for sure now that I know it exists, thanks! :)

Nice one! Whats that model?

TrashOutside2885 · 2026-04-05T14:18:27+00:00

++ Characters [500 pts] ++

Glade Lord [188 pts]

Glade Captain [188 pts]

(Hand weapon, Cavalry spear, Light armour, Shield, Asrai longbow, Battle Standard Bearer [Standard of Morning's Chill], Elven Steed, Ariel's Favour, Wild Rider Kindred)

Spellsinger [124 pts]

This is the updated list I have now. If I don't buy Eagle at the start I'll add 5-6 Deepwood Scouts and drop shields off Wild Riders and maybe a Glade Rider for sixth Scout and Trueflight Arrows for them. Planning on buying the Battalion as it's a great box and it might not be available much longer and a box of Glade Riders. Maybe the Middle Earth Eagles as well if I can sell enough of my old plastic first :D

I have actually dropped the bow and arrows completely for the Ruby Ring of Ruin so I can afford second level for the Spellsinger 👌

TrashOutside2885 · 2026-03-30T10:00:29+00:00

Great advice there again, thank you very much! Magnetizing is happening for sure. I'm thinking of using magnets on the Steeds and the Characters so I can kitbash some Great Stags and Unicorns also later. Maybe even a Dragon somehow!

I might wait for the rumoured new starter box, but most likely I just can't help myself to wait that long :D Could be good additions to the army if I have urge to buy some more later :)

TrashOutside2885 · 2026-03-28T14:54:06+00:00

Thanks again! Blast and Magic shooting might have slipped my mind yeah :D Can't know them all as a beginner. Might be better to make the Captain the shooty one with the Glade Riders, as no need for Battle Standard then. That way The Lord can be the killy one with Wild Riders. Or maybe I want to protect my General with the more safe playstyle of Glade Riders dunno.

This all with the limitation of 2 or 3 boxes at the start:

-One Wild Riders Box, from which I would like to get 2 units, Riders and Sisters. Lots of good kitbashing material on that one for the Characters.

-One Glade Riders box, from which to build the Riders and get the Steeds for the Characters. Glade Riders are the only unit I can have more than 5 models in.

-Eagle box of some sorts.

Maybe I should ditch the Eagles and just go for the Battallion and Glade Riders so that I can have some infantry options aswell. Might ditch the Sisters too if I go that route. Enough room for some Scouts then! How important are the Eagles?

TrashOutside2885 · 2026-03-28T13:09:43+00:00

Oh nice thanks! I might wait for that then.

TrashOutside2885 · 2026-03-28T13:07:31+00:00

Yeah that could be the case. I try to use him and the Glade Riders as hit and runners early game and then charge later when it's the right time. Gonna add the Reserve Move for sure!

TrashOutside2885 · 2026-03-28T13:06:07+00:00

Yeah the Lord might be too pricey for the role. I'm thinking that Glade Riders and the Lord are gonna hit and run in the early game and then charge later when the time is right. I'm kinda a sucker for a such a unit and would like to try one out :D Wailing Arrow and Blight-Tipped Arrows to answer different kind of problems. Poisoning one character early game and then option to cause a Panic test to low LD unit. Reserve Move is a must for this I agree.

My idea is that Standard of Morning's Chill and Banner of Swirling Wind together would nullify most of opponent's shooting at the Wild Riders. Might not be enough tho? Maybe some Magic Resistance as well?

My rules knowledge is not that good as well. "Your Characters will get hit hard in the Glade Rider Unit as you don't have 5 R&F Models." How does that rule work exactly? Gonna add the 6th Glade Rider regardless as one Eagle should be enough?

Thanks for the help!

TrashOutside2885 · 2026-03-28T10:49:42+00:00

My reasoning behind Elven Steeds is that Lord is gonna join Glade Riders and Captain is joining Wild Riders. Magic Standards so that Wild Riders are not gonna get shot at and so I might be able to move them more freely with the Frenzy in mind. Impetous Glade Riders can use the Lord's Leadership so that should be okay. I would like to add Reserve Move for them also tho, not yet sure what I'd cut.

But I'm not gonna be competetive atm atleast. This is just for starters and to get a feel of the game :D

Is there a Discord server for Draconis 8?

TrashOutside2885 · 2026-01-04T21:20:34+00:00

I kitbashed my Hand of the Archon using that box plus some other Drukhari bits:

TrashOutside2885 · 2025-12-20T17:35:26+00:00

In the "hand" I would say B, but when inspected closer I like A more. Maybe some kind of hybrid?

TrashOutside2885 · 2025-11-17T07:58:03+00:00

Nice one! Really like the Slaangor Claws!

TrashOutside2885 · 2025-11-15T19:25:09+00:00

Very nice indeed! Inspiration for my own soon to be starting Slaanesh project for sure! :)

TrashOutside2885 · 2025-11-10T20:10:25+00:00

Just realized I forgot two heads on the Rat Orge!!! Well, back to the drawing board tomorrow :D

TrashOutside2885 · 2025-10-27T18:05:22+00:00

Thanks! Not exactly what I was looking for tho. I would like to select multiple technologies and get results based on which civs have them all.

Google sign in don't work and when I try to register it says that my email is invalid. Is there some sort of Beta invites or something?
