High Elves 2250pts

#1 Post by th0r »

This is my first attempt at a HE list under the current army book without a Star Dragon. I was thinking of fielding another block of special troops, like PG, instead of Archers and Shadow Warriors. Keep in mind this list has comp in mind, with preference for blocks of infantry with banners. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Archmage 355pts
-2x Dispel Scrolls, Jewel of the Dusk, Ring of Fury

Noble 157pts
-General, Steed, Barding, Enchanted Shield, Dragon Armor, Reaver Bow

Noble 143pts
-BSB, Armor of Caledor, Great Weapon

20x Spearmen 215pts
-Musician, Banner, War Banner

20x Spearmen 195pts
- Musician, Banner

10x Archers 110pts

15x White Lions 280pts
-Full Command, Lion Banner

5x Dragon Princes 185pts
-Banner, Banner of Ellyrion

5x Shadow Warriors 80pts

Lion Chariot of Chrace 140pts

Lion Chariot of Chrace 140pts

Repeater Bolt Thrower 100pts

Repeater Bolt Thrower 100pts

Great Eagle 50pts

Total: 2250pts

PD: 7 + 1 Bound Item DD: 4 + 2 Dispel Scrolls

I think two Nobles are a luxury in a list like this. I'd swap them for a single BSB with Great Weapon, Reaver Bow and Talisman of Loec. I'd also drop the second Spears for a unit of 20PG with Banner of Sorcery. More resilient and you really need the power dice IMHO. You keep the same number of blocks of course. You have the Jewel but I think Silver Wand is crucial when rolling for a particular spell.

Otherwise looks great to me.

Even with comp in mind, I'd replace Jewel with Silver Wand and add Banner of Sorcery. Your magic phase is too weak now, especially considering spell selection.

No reason for the third core. Dump the archers.

You have a rare slot, so take the second Eagle. Dump the shadow warriors.
