A tale of Ellyrion: A 1st Tournament win. Game 3 report.
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:58 pm
This is a blog about my all cavalry elven host at 2500 pts.
Originally based around a Lothern Sea Guard core unit, my host initially incorporated the trademark of Seredain, the silver helm cavalry Prince. Evolution saw it come closer and closer to his 2nd list as I was more and more drawn to cavalry. At this point, I feel I needed to move away from the balanced army list for the better or the worst. The choice between elite infantry or cavalry was made in favor of the later. The main reason is that I favor speed, mobility, versatility and resiliency above "glass canons". The only reason I keep an infantry core is because I am forced to by the rules, so it's all cavalry ( special choices ) as far as it is doable for high elves.
