Problem, how do you deal with this?

Ok, in my gaming group someone plays high elves. His army always looks the same:

4 mages
4 repeater bolt throwers
archers, archers and more archers.

How do you face this with khemri? I myself was thinking about:

casket
3 priests (of which one high)
1 prince
2 screaming skulls
and about 200 archers.

What should you do? I haven't faced him before, but will soon.

UH..........................NO!
Firstly how many points? Because if it is 2000 your army is illegal. Don't stoop to the "Way of the Elf" you are way better than that.
First of all he has no way to slow you down. Eventualy your hoards will knock on his little pillbox and he will run like hell! Furthermore you seem to ignore the defacto strength of Khemri against such armies ICFB Im sure your HE friend would love it if you placed 4-5 ICFB markers in his deployment zone Trust me he would shat a golden brick.

Plus he kindof sounds like a jackass. I was just discussing the finer points of fair gameplay on another forum, concluding that most individuals like to have fun and not play unfair unbalenced armies. Though he might be a hardcore 40ker crossed over... question is he 12?

His army is rediculous and while it looks like a bitch to fight you have his number like no other. He cannot stop your scorpions or swarms from jumping on him from "near" his line. Here is what I would do. Play a fair army... but give him a little Khemri hell

HLP: Blue kepra, hieratic jar, colar of sapesh (340)

LP: casket of souls (280)

LP: (115)

TP: Spear of Antarhak, enchanted shield, lt armor. (147)
HEROES: 882 A bit high. But, for TK that can be expected.

25 Skeleton Warriors: HW, Shield, Lt. armor Standard bearer: Undying legion (285)

3 Tomb Swarms (135)

16 Archers Standard Musician (143)

16 Archers Standard Musician (143)
TROOPS: 706 Not bad

20 Tomb Gaurd Standard: mirage Champion (304)

3 scorpions (255)
SPECIAL: 559

Well that's 2147 Legal for a RT... and im shocked... I really like it I may use it sometime.

Anywho, just beat him through attrition. Your HLP goes in the TG unit making them a damn tough nut to crack (reroll shooting hits he will love that. plus magic resistance 2) He can pour all of his shooting into that and you should come out just fine.... if not you still are marching up your ther units slowly (which should take his Elves anyday)
Strategicaly I would use yor magic to push your other Skeletons forward aswell as the archers make him split his fire. Furthermore you should play this army with a refused flank tactic.

So:

Casket ____________Archers _______Tomb Gaurd______Archers_______Skeletons


Try it, if you lose you will know what worked and didn't for next time eitherway he sounds like an ass. Perhaps a tale on fun is in order.

Well, his dad is one of the best players in the group, and he plays with various units. In fact he has a good tactic against ICFB. Namely: put a unit on the marker. This way he can engage the ICFB units with rank and file units. And they will not come from below all at the same time.

But that is some usefull advice, thanks

But the individual you discribe... or should I say army. Is composed of archers (not the best rank and file unit in the game). You should be able to handle a squad of archers with a Scorpion... or at least distract it for a turn. Eitherway. Take what you will from the army and good luck.
