1500 - Local Tournament

[Bolt Thrower]

Possibly playing in a tournament in a couple weeks. 1500 points. Squeezing in a DM here because...well, sounds like fun with the new version of Sword of Rhuin.

Archmage (Shadow) - Lvl 3, Folariath's Robe - 270
Dragon Mage (Fire) - Lvl 1, Silver Wand - 360

27 Lothern Sea Guard - Full Command, Shields - 376
5 Dragon Princes - Banner of Ellyrian - 185
14 Phoenix Guard - Full Command, Banner of Sorcery, Amulet of Light - 305

Infantry most likely deployed 7 wide with the Archmage in the LSG. Hoping that with the Banner of Ellyrian the DP's will be able to effectively handle any war machines when necessary. Otherwise they will support or put the hurt on smaller units.

Also should be fairly strong in the magic phase at this points level, so hoping that levels the playing field a bit.

Thoughts welcome!

Nowhere to squeeze points for a mage level upgrade? Big chunk of points in magic not to have them max level

The hero limit at 1500 is 375, Dragon Mage at lvl 2 is 385

Thanks to the Reckless rule silver wand is always worth it on the dragon mage as extra spell to cast is an extra PD. Unless mayby you are taking Lfe arch mage with 5 spells as the the life is the most synergetic spell list IMO (You'll wan to be pretty sure to get the Throne of Vines and many spells that are boosted by it).

Unfortunately no room to level up, but 5 spells at this level is pretty good. But it's also kind of the crux of the matter with the DM. That's a BSB and another unit right there if I drop him, but it also could be really difficult to deal with at this level.
