If your looking for a versatile base that does it all at town hall 8, this base could not be a better solution. If you want to make it a war base, simply switch the Dark Elixir tank with the barb king. It is also optional to move the archer towers at the top of the base to where the storages are for better town hall protection. I have it set up for both raising cups and for protecting loot. There are many different ways to farm with this base also that I have tried. Over all, this base can protect what you want it to.
