Tactica: High Elves vs. Dark Elves

Dark Elves Army Analysis

Strengths:

• Fast, mobile troops, just like every Elven army
• Powerful magic users that can take potent magic lores
• Powerful Dragons and the dreaded Hydra
• Great selection of competitively priced and diverse units
• Some lists can offer a sick amount of shooting
• Powerful and unique magic items that can fill many roles
• They hate High Elves so much they re-roll hits always

Weaknesses:

• T3, 5+ save just like most Elves
• Ring of Hotek now only effects casters within 12" of it
• High Elves have a much better time in combat with DE thanks to ASF and re-rolls to hit at equal or greater Initiative.

BR: 2K Blood Angels vs. Tau

Today, I played my first game of 40K in months.  I finally decided to get my damn Blood Angels on the table and they played against my friend JR's Tau.  We played a Battle Mission game and there was 3 objectives 12" apart from eachother spread out on the map.  The first marker was placed in the middle, I placed the 2nd 12" directly to the left of that and the third one he placed by his deployment zone.

My army list looked like this:

Mephiston
10x ASM (PF/Infernus, 2x Meltaguns)
10x ASM (PF/Infernus, 2x Meltaguns)
5x ASM (RB TLAC, PW, Meltagun)
5x ASM (RB TLAC, PW, Meltagun)
Corbulo
Sanguinary Priest
3x Baal Predators (TLAC/HB)
2x Vindicators (DB)

His army had:

HQ Suit with BS5 and Missile Pods
3x 3x suits with Plasma/Missiles
2x units of Kroot
2x units of Fire Warriors in Devilfish
2x 2x Broadsides
1x Hammerhead with Railgun
2x 2x Piranhas with Fusion

He rolled for first and deployed.

Tactica: High Elves vs. Dwarfs

Dwarf Army Analysis

Strengths:

• T4, high armor values, Ld.9 across the board
• Powerful runic combinations on lords and heroes
• Strong anti-magic mechanics and lots of dispel dice
• Accurate and powerful shooting in both units and artillery
• Durable, reliable troops that will hold in combat when needed

Weaknesses:

• Slow, easily outmaneuvered
• Can be outnumbered (although not by High Elves)
• Reliant on shooting to be most effective

Army specific strategy guides

I'm going to be staring my High Elves vs. X army tacticas sometime soon.  That's going to be a pretty big project that it'll probably take a long time to finish because there's 15 armies total (including the mirror match).  I'll also probably have to update it like crazy since the metagame in 8th Ed. will be constantly changing and new power builds will arise.

With that said, I need your help.  Which armies would you like to see me write about to get started (pick top 5)?  These guides will be competitive and thus will include the most optimal choices to maximize our win chances.  If you don't like it, too bad.  The entire purpose of strategy guides is to help others claim victory.
