Luna, try not to beat them too hard. They are proud about their pseudo-glorious past and their present nothingness, you know.

No Loremasters robe? Should be ace on the lord, as the amulet won't keep the nasty magic away from him. If you switch it for the star lance (yeah, he loses a lot of power, but better that than dead...) and drop his bow you should also have enough points for two more sword masters, bringing their unit up to the magic seven. Otherwise looks real cool list! Like you I'm somewhat fed up with all magic arms race, and we do have some good anti-magic items to pick from that doesn't require a caddy.

@Fwum

The problem with Cloak is it that it may help against the magic missiles, but those are easily avoidable by going to combat or flying away. The REAL problem is beast cowers, which L'sC has no effect on...

@ Luna

I like the concept alot, but i have some comments on the list:

About the armor of Caledor, i would consider swapping it for Heavy armor (you already get fire protection from the Amulet), Shield and Helm of Fortune. I prefer a 3+ rerollable on a 2+, but that maybe just me. It also allows you tp swap for hand weapon in the second round of combat, turning it to a 2+ rerollable (Hope i got the rules straight on this one... can't remember if you are allowed not to use a magic item when you have it). It is also a good idea to grab a great weapon, will make this lord useful in combat even when his Gryph drops dead.

I would drop the standard off the Lions, already got the BSB in them, all it does is possibly giving 100 points to the enemy. Also, i like to give the Champ in the unit i put the BsB in the Armour of Caledor, to make him last longer in challenges in order to minimize danger to the BSB.

Other than that, its real awesome, i might make a similar list as well :D .

first off, good point about the helm and amulet.

your not allowed to swap weapon in the next combat unless it's a fresh combat. ALSO your not allowed to take a mundane CC weapon(great wep) if you have a magical CC weapon. When mounted you do not get the handweapon + shield bonus thus being unable to get the 2+ you mentioned.
