Hi, I have yet to really find my niche with high elves in eighth edition so far. I have tried some horde infantry style lists and a list modeled after seredain's cavalry prince list. I have had decent success with both lists, but am drifting towards a more msu style approach like seredain's list for...

Here is a 2200 variant of the list with reduced character cost. It loses the magic d of your original 2500 list seredain, which i am unsure about. But it manages a good magic offense adding redundancy in attacks versus certain targets and solutions to some ( T 10 Stank) which might give the 2500 lis...

This is quite a different approach to what I have taken with high elves so far in eighth. I quite like it actually. I have a list posted on here that is more or less two horde blocks of elite infantry with archmage support and a pair of eagles. I had good success with it at a mini 3 game tournament ...

i'd probably run the LSG as two units of 20. that way you can shoot two diff targets or combine fire if you need to. also means you have a less tempting target to paint on their heads for dwellers etc This actually came up at the tournament. First turn versus an empire player who had rolled dweller...

This is a pretty simple list, but it is meant to facilitate playing quickly. I have trouble with 2 hour time limits from time to time and want to avoid annoying opponents. The basic idea is to have an offensive flank with white lions and great eagles while phoenix guard with bsb hold down the center...

I think that this list is too hero heavy. You do not have enough troops on the board. Especially your elite infantry needs to be much larger to cut it and I would take the points from heroes somehow. edit: I also don't like repeater bolt throwers this edition. They really don't cut it at all. They a...

big fan of this list. I agree that the helms are probably better than reavers for a mage bunker/transport due to the armour save. They can also probably assist in dispatching a support unit or two at some point during the battle. I will probably try something akin to this list at some point. All of ...

The vitriolic nature of some of these criticisms is completely unwarranted. [-X Giladis was simply expressing the conclusions people are coming to in his area about what will make the game the most fun and competitive for tournament play. Seeing as how most of the people flipping their collective li...

dark elves are probably still better in terms of pure competitiveness, though the gap has closed to a significant degree. Dark elves have much better shooting and core choices as well as an edge in magic due to power of darkness, and of course their nasty magic item selection. What high elves have o...

all around pretty terrible imo. The white lions are kind of an improvement in that they are less cartoon like but they have lost a lot of their current dynamism with those static poses. edit: ok the pics on hero's blog made me change my mind. The DP's look alright, I see what they were going for in ...

looks pretty good to me. :) The prince should be good with no cannons around, Just watch out for grave guard (don't charge their front). I'd drop the archers and beef up the two other core blocks though. Units tend to take major casualties in eight and having some extra bodies is always helpful. I w...

eyas :) ! I'm going to ard' boyz' too. I like the list, and definitely think that the updates are an improvement. I am going to field archers + spears instead of LSG because I like the extra deployment drops and bodies, but your setup does give more shots. Also with 5 eagles I guess you don't have t...

thanks for the feedback so far guys! :D I am not completely sure about the chariots either three west. I got the idea for using them in conjunction with my ranged battery from giladis (sp?) on this site and have yet to try it out. His idea was along the lines of deploying chariots rbts and archers t...

so... Ard boyz. Not really my usual style of play but, hey, could be fun. For those who don't know Ard' Boyz it is a no holds barred, special characters allowed sort of affair. I am hoping to make the semi finals at least. Heroes: 905 Prince, Silvered Armour, Vambraces of Defense, Great Weapon Simpl...

But neither of those units would be great against something like 40 daemonettes with herald. With ASF, I6 and -2 save..thats alot of attacks that could rip through our elves. With a 5+ ward our high STR/ Instand I spells of death wont do much deamonettes are initiative 5 if i recall correctly. So b...

I'm not sure if rbts are necessary or viable at all in this edition. So Far Results from using them have been underwhelming due to combat ensuing before they have a chance to make significant impact. As you mentioned points are tight now and it seems that either support characters, support specials ...

I don't think you have enough models for 2200. 4 eagles is solid. don't know how much i like bolt throwers though. Yeah I am not sure if the bolt throwers are quite worth it either, which might make me rework what I am trying to do with the entire list as I mentioned above. Have you had any games w...

Core looks good. I think that your special blocks are way too small. I would drop the white sword noble and maybe one of the auxiliary special choices to get the points to make at least one 20 strong. I also think one of your bolt throwers should be converted into two more eagles. I think that eagle...

Hi guys! This is a list I am thinking of taking to the Northstar tournament this year. It will be my third good sized gt if so and I am looking to break the three win barrier this time. The list is based on two elite blocks that are largely or completely immune to magic, strong ranged support, and a...

you might be rather vulnerable to opponents with easy acess s7 heroes like vc, or ranged s7 like dwarves or empire so you might want to tone down on the number of chariots a bit. I would drop at least one to flesh out the spears to 20-25 and the lions to 12-15. I would also pick up talisman of loec ...

thanks for the help guys. I went with both heroes in the end and lost one cav unit. This also gave me enough comp to pick up the ring of fury which is not too shabby, and also gives me a target for steed of shadows to steed into a dwarf war machine or some such thing. It also makes for less models i...

boooo no helps

ok so rampage lists are due like now, and I still haven't finalized things. Have gotten some recent vics vs skaven but these were versus a verminlord :lol: and furnace with not enough screening, so they don't exactly factor in to playtesting imo :wink: . My list is finalized except for the bsb equip...

Seeing as he's got a 2+ armor save and regeneration the character must have Armour of Eternal Servitude for regeneration then mounted on a Cold One and adding a shield would give a 2+ Armor Save. That followed by the Khaeleth ward save and then Regeneration making for one Lord that is damn hard to ...

if you actually painted and fielded all of that it would be pure awesome . I like love army design too although you could maybe use a few more fanatics .

i think the heralds should be on flying chariots, those cost like 60 points or something absurd like that ya? Oh and one needs to be a bsb, preferably with icon of despair, drop some flesh hounds maybe?

okie, my archmage list with double Dp units and min maxed 2 heroes proved to be a little much, massacring the lists I had had trouble with before. I am trying for the prince again, but toning down on hero cost to fit in more models. Tell me if you think it is at all decent please. For those that don...

Magic offense is clearly not possible without the archmage. With the other tools we have (Seerstaff, Banner of Sorcery) I disagree. Oh yeah this isn't quite what I meant, I sort of meant within the constraints of 530 points but didn't really make that clear, like at all :oops: . Other phases tend t...

It depends on the environment I guess? I could see running a lord with lvl 4 silver wand and 1 or 2x scrolls and still getting some mileage out of him/her. What you might want to ask is if your other characters are really that necessary. Do you need that support hero or caster? is there a unit you c...

Well i think that David Long (David L. on the web) is going and might be bringing the dawi which is my primary concern as he can probably outplay me with them. My friend Luke, and someone named David King, are the only ones signed up to bring dawi atm. There are 3 Warriors of chaos, 3 wood elves, 2 ...
