I had really good times with this unit, hope this helps ;)
I don't even know if you made your points back. THat unit is 700 points and only has a 4+ save in CC. Deathstarrrrr!
I don't think it really matters if a unit makes it's points back. Technically a unit can be tactically useful without making 100% of its own points back. This unit, from what he said, definitely made a substantial impact on the game!

Kudos man! :rock:

The unit didn't give any points, so they for sure made "their points" (0) back...

Nurgle Warriors with shields and halberds :) 35 of them mowed down dragon Princes, white lions with BOTWD , and a unit of sword masters. Oh ya I had a sorcerer buffing them up with regen :) wounding on 2's while you get a really good chance he misses ( mostly hitting on 5's) and having your armor save ( although some only 5+'s )

I had really good times with this unit, hope this helps ;)
You know that you don't get the shield bonus in CC with Halberds/Great Weapons right?

so you get 5+ against Phoenix Guard, 6+ against Sword Masters and No saves against White Lions.

How big of a game was this that your opponent put over a thousand points into special before command or magic.items? Also if you killed 20 DP's with anything resembling speed you got at least a little lucky there. You also either played like a champ or your opponent really didnt to allow your M4 block to fight that much stuff instead of chaffing it to death.

Ooh, I hope I haven't seen this post too late.

My initial ideas would be.

Magic: I would reccomend nurgle Lv4 and fire Lv2. Nurgle has some very useful anti elf spells. Toughness checks, plague wind, rancid visitations and even the lowly stream of corruption will do wonders.
Fire because T3 elite infantry hate this law, plus if your lucky enough to get flame cage taking away an elfs movement really damages their plans.
Always, always, always take a dispel scroll against them.
Anything that takes away their cheaty rerolls, again lore of nurgle comes in here with miasma of pestilence, and bring some chariots (impact hits go first :-D )

Any kind of fear/terror causing unit. They may well be Ld9/10 with a reroll but it will fail, when that happens.........
Take plenty of dogs. They won't last long, but will cause enough of a distraction.

Things to remember:
Dragon princes have a 2++ against fire.
Banner of the world dragon doesn't help against hex/buff.
Take lances over ensorcelled.
They are only T3. Walk up to them and punch them in the face.

I would love to hear how this goes.
