I've split it in three parts; one Infantry, one cavalry and one shoring. That way I have an allround army ready to face any enemy who might come up.

But one might ask, where's the Frostie? And where's the Banner of the world Dragon? The dragon? The dispel scroll?..
The answer is the Swedish Comp System (http://swfbr.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=4494). I can't have any of those. I wanted to build my army around the Loremaster, the PG's and 2 RBT. I had to forsake all the other goodies.
The comp level is between 10-14, and I should reach 10,5-ish (the final comp list isn't settled yet).

There's also a restriction in the tournament; double minimum unit sizes. That's why for example the Ellyrean reavers are missing.

Any thoughts on the list? Bring it on! (I still got 11 pts to place..)

It looks fine. I don't really get why you have the lvl 2 mage when you already have ton of good buffs with the Loremaster. If you are just hoping to get a big spell and that you will 6-dice it, why not the earthing rod on him instead of the scroll of shielding? Most of your points will be in the Phoenix Guard unit anyway, and they already have a 4++. The DPs will have a 5++ vs magic. Do you really care if they waste a spell blasting your core?

[grandalf]

Well, I can't really say I have a strategy in the lvl 2 mage. It felt less vulnerable with two magicians. Maybe it would be of more use to have a lvl 2 with High magic, to get the ward save and buff the dispe?

Or do you suggest something else?

Oops! The buff to dispel was old rules. Anyway, the high magic might have it's advantages...

Feels like I'm talking to myself here, but that's alright

So the 2nd mage might be points wasted. That's indeed the lesson to be taught from my last battle. But it feels safer with two magicians..

I'll try not to be more gambling. I'm thinking if I drop the mage, I might afford a Frostheart phoenix.. That might be more fun!
