Re: Path To Glory - First Teclis Game Up

#1021 Post by Curu Olannon »

@John Rainbow - Seeing as I`m starting out with Timewarp I obviously agree with your assessment. However, although the tournaments here in Norway usually feature quite a few skilled players, they are typically small in terms of number of players and furthermore, I know what pretty much all the good ones will be bringing. This makes it possible to set up a matrix and see where Net grants more value than Timewarp. I could be wrong, but it`s worth looking at ;)

Chaff heavy list - I have considered it, yet. The problem I see is that uncomped the Lions simply won`t be big enough to be able to handle other units. At their current size, there is hardly a unit in the game I can`t face. The few ones that do beat the Lions are very weak against either my magic, shooting or both (examples include PG-stars, WE-stars and huge gutstars).

@Browncastle - Please report back with your findings on the Star Dragon :) I think it`s loads of fun to play and I`m amazed that there are not more people taking it, especially when pretty much every tournament in Norway is running SLoS.

High Magic on Teclis? I considered it for maybe 30 seconds. It is a strong lore in general, but uncomped it falls through to the sheer power of picking 8 powerful spells. Examples of lists I think I`ll struggle against without picking 8 spells from the BRB lores: HE (how do I handle Teclis? Bus?), LZ (how do I threaten the Slann?), DE (how do I deal with Witchelves?), WoC (what do I do vs the Daemon Prince?), DW/CD (no comet, no sun, hardly any real threats apart from WBW which is basically a trade for Timewarp), OnG (I can`t grind with high vs them and WMs hurt and without Comet/Sun I can`t pressure them) and Skaven (Bell is a huge issue). I believe that High Magic needs mobility to work. This list has very little. Furthermore I believe High Magic needs a unit to benefit a lot from Shield of Saphery. These Lions benefit more from the aggressive nature of Blades of Aiban and Sword of Rhuin.

High Magic is usually my choice for a bus-list, for said reasons above. Life is also good, but less flexible I find. I think High Magic shines when you have 2 threats, one of which is mobile (hence why I`m trying to make PG + bus work).

Re: Path To Glory - IS done, SD returns! BR vs EMP 05.08

#1023 Post by Curu Olannon »

Another game with Teclis, again vs HE. This time however it was a different list: Monster-mash! Also, the NM FAQ guys have decided Teclis can choose spells before every game instead of writing them on the roster (!).

.::. Battle Report - 2000 vs High Elves (uncomped) .::.

My list:
Teclis (Flaming Sword of Rhuin, Searing Doom, Savage Beast of Horros, Thunderbolt, Mindrazor, Dwellers Below, Birona`s Timewarp, Purple Sun) - 450
Sea Helm BSB, Reaver Bow, Shield of the Merwyrm, Ironcurse Icon - 170
Shadow Mage, Forbidden Rod - 120

30 Archers, FC = 330
5 Reavers, Bows = 85
5 Reavers, Bows = 85
Core = 500

36 White Lions, Full Command, Banner of the World Dragon = 548

3 Repeater Bolt Throwers = 210

Army Total = 1998
His list:
Anointed on Flamespyre, Giant Blade, Enchanted Shield
BSB on ASF Griffon, Crown of Atrazar, Ring of Fury, Charmed Shield
L2 on horsie, scroll, dragonbane gem

12 SH, FC, Shields
2x5 Reavers, Champ, Bows

2 Frosthearts
A very fast and hard-hitting list. This time I tried a completely different deployment, basically to see how the list plays with various positions and in different situations. I think I have a pretty good grasp of how to do things after these 2 games.

Anyway, onto the match. He rolled Arcane Unforging and Walk Between Worlds, pretty much the 2 best spells he could ask for in this matchup. The following pictures show deployment and the early turns:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

He grabs the initiative and moves up hard. My T1 sees Flaming Sword go through on the Archers which proceed to hurt a Phoenix a lot and the rest of my shooting kills it. With Flaming Sword up and Lions ready to counter-charge he flanks me instead. Again my shooting is impeccable as his Anointed goes down, the Flamespyre loses 2W and the 2nd Frostheart dies (it had taken 2W already). Magic augmented this as well if memory serves and I believe I drew his scroll. He drew mine T1 but I failed to destroy arcane.

Image

Image

His monsters take out 2 RBTs and overrun off the table. I move my units so that I can block the Phoenix when it gets back on the table. He moves back on and things get interesting: The plan was originally to just tie up the Phoenix with the Archers and their steadfast but I realize that with his scroll out and me having Mindrazor, there`s a more effective solution (the bird had 2W left).

Image

Image

Image

I cast Mindrazor with IF and Teclis jumps into the hole. The bird goes down however and I overrun into BSB. Disaster strikes as he immediately rolls a `6` for the bird which comes back up with 3W. His Helms flank-charge the Archers (I had previously tried to nail the mage which was on 1W with 3 flanking reavers but I failed to kill him) and break them: I failed my fear test so I was unable to do much damage despite of Mindrazor still being up.

The Flamespyre eats the last RBT. His cavalry fails a swift reform and are stuck. I force him to flee in T6, giving me half points. This saves me a 9-11 at least, a small loss.

// Evaluation //

This game I deliberately went for an aggressive and opportunistic deployment which did not pay off. I was lucky early game with my shooting being so effective, so it`s hard to see the mistake: The Archers need support. They need an edge on one side and the Lions need to constantly threaten the Archers` front so that nothing can land and threaten them. The Reavers need to be nearby in stand-by mode with the RBTs spread out.

Teclis going down the drain was because he IF Unforged my Staff at one point. True, it was unlucky to roll the 2-4 and then the 1-3 needed for this to happen, but again my early game was lucky so it kind of weighs up. The game was lost because I allowed him too much space and too much pressure on the Archers.

The learning curve for this list is steep, but I`m getting there and I hope I`ll be ready in time for NM, which is in just a few weeks ;)

Re: Path To Glory - Second Game with Teclis

This diagram shows what I believe to be the best deployment for Teclis. This is of course dependent on terrain, but the general concept is the same. You can slide this formation to pretty much any part of the board as long as the Archers` flank is protected. See the first game for example, my opponent had a similar position in the middle of the table because he knew I couldn`t outflank.

The exact position of the Lions depends on what your opponent can do. It is very important that they cover the Archers though. The RBTs may seem exposed, but going for them is a big risk as it takes a lot of time.

The Reavers might seem a bit off, but remember that they are usually deployed fairly early on. They are usually flexible enough for this not to matter though, luckily.

Re: Path To Glory - Second Game with Teclis

#1025 Post by hansleonard »

I calculated the scores again when i got home, it's an 11-9 win for me. Still, it doesn't make much difference.

My main strategy in this match up was keeping pretty much everything safe from your lions and taking out your shooting with as few losses as possible in return, and then looking at the possibilities for a T6 combined charge. Your T1 was devastating for me. I lost a Phoenix, an entire reaver unit poised to take out an RBT next round, and you took a few wounds of the remaining FHP as well. I suddenly went from a strong flank with good chances of wiping your entire archer unit in a single round of combat to just trying to save points.

The Flamespyre rising immediatelly after getting killed off was beyond lucky, a bad roll of the dice there and you would have been looking at a probable 14-6/15-5 win. It's hard to see what i could have done differently here. Engaging your lions while the Banner is still up is suicide, as i only have the Griffon and BSB (and SH if i commit them) without magical attacks, and you'll tear me to shreds in return. A combo charge with all 4 monsters and SH i think will kill enough Lions for me to win here, but with so much shooting it's impossible for me to accomplish without an insane amount of luck.

I did a few mistakes, (Not moving the BSB onto the table before rolling for Swift reform T6 being one of them, that probably caused me about 250 VP's) but none so big that they were match-breaking, so overall i'm pretty pleased with how the match turned out. Wake of fire was definatelly "move of the match" killing archers in droves. I'm semi confident that if i had gotten a few turns more flying over your lions i could have gotten them down to a more manageable size, though without a Frostheart to lower their strength and making my monsters strike before you, engaging them is super-iffy at best. WoF is much more usefull than what i expected when i wrote the list, i'm liking the flamespyre more and more with each usage.

Anyways, that's my thoughts. GG Curu!

Score corrected. Was it the banner bonus that tipped it?

The Archers were in dire straits indeed. The shooting this list packs is deceptively strong though. When targeting something like a Frostheart, volume matters more than quality and 30 Archers, magic, Reaver Bow + RBTs have quite a bit of volume. The main mistake here was probably not chucking all DD at Flaming Sword of Rhuin.

Part of the reason I deployed so aggressively was that I had +1 for T1. With the initiative seized here, I would be in a much better position as I was in range of a Frostheart with all the Archers T1 and all RBTs had clear lines of fire.

As for Teclis and the Flamespyre - it`s Warhammer ;) Things happen and you have to deal with it. I was lucky the Anointed was dead in the first place. Speaking of the Flamespyre, it is terrifying against Elves. As I mentioned briefly today I have a concept list lying around that I want to try, largely due to the popularity of the Elves these days. I`ll post it up in a second ;) In this game however I think your Flamespyre should have been deployed opposite my Lions. This forces me to abandon the usual 3-wide formation I love so much: If I keep this you get a ridiculous D6 + 11D3 (!!) S4 hits against which I only have a 6+ armour save. By going wide to mitigate this though my mobility is reduced a lot.

Lastly, Frostheart into Lions makes no difference. They are still I5 as you can`t stack ASL. Even all 4 monsters combined into Lions is tough: With Naval Discipline I`m looking at ~40 attacks before you strike back. Even if you win, I`m stubborn. The Lions are a huge issue for your army, I just failed to make their presence felt (see my last post on what I consider optimal deployment to me: this position is a lot harder for you to attack).

GG, thanks for the input here as well ;) Defensive High Elves is not my style of play (ironically enough I find it a lot easier with CD) but I`m learning as I go along.

Concept list - Fighting the Meta

Elves are becoming increasingly popular. HE and DE can build solid lists and the latter can go MSU as well. WE almost always go MSU, same for LZ. These lists are all inherently weak to mobility and damage. In particular, I believe the go-to choices (White Lions, Darkshards/Witchelves, Glade Guard / Waywalkers, Skinks) are weak to the cheap damage we have easily available: Soul Quench and Wake of Fire. Based on this, I believe the following list would be interesting to play and it`s definitely worth testing:
Anointed on Flamespyre, Giant Blade, Dawnstone, Enchanted Shield, Potion of Foolhardiness = 530

BSB, standard kit = 172
Noble, barded steed, heavy armour, ogre blade, dragonhelm, shield = 141
High Mage L2, Scroll, Steed = 155
High Mage L2, Steed = 130
Heroes = 598

15 Silver Helms, Full Command, Shields = 375
15 Silver Helms, Full Command, Shields = 375
Core = 750

Eagle = 50
Frostheart = 240
Flamespyre = 225
Rare = 515

Army Total = 2393
6 drops is quite few and the mobility of this army is insane. The reasoning behind the dualhelms is two-fold: First, there`s always a bunker to run to! Secondly, there are no easy points to get here (sole exception being the Eagle).

I anticipate this build to have some terrible matchups as well. Skaven stand out, obviously, as do Bretonnia with the Falcon Horn (basically close to impossible to play against with this list if you face a strong opponent). I do however rarely see Skaven and Bretonnia (although 3/5 of my games at Invasion were against these, they are not that common) whereas Elves are plentiful. I think this army is more powerful than it looks to be on paper as well, with its sheer speed and built-in endurance it can really pack a punch if the birds cannot zap enemies to death through wake of fire.

Thoughts? ;)

Teclis being able to pick his spells between games pushes him over broken edge as far as I'm concerned. He let's you tailor your magic based on the opponent so you are never at a disadvantage. Up against elves? You are no longer stuck with purple sun. Up against woc? Swap dwellers for +2T.

Yes, i don't remember the excact scores, but the banner put me a few points over the 150 mark. Also, correct me if i'm wrong, but doesnt it say something like "each rank of five or more" in the wake of fire special rule?

I dont have the book with me now, but methinks i read something like that when i wrote the list.

@Sackree - I agree, but the rules are the rules and there`s not a lot I can do about it. Besides, in this case it`s in my favour ^^

@hansleonard - Makes sense. The beauty of wake of fire is that it does not specify ranks of 5 or more, so it will absolutely decimate congalines and other shenanigans such as 3-wide White Lions. I always thought it was 5 or more as well until a club member pointed out that every rank counts, regardless of # of models. You would do well to keep this in mind @NM seeing as you`re taking the bird there ;)

In other news I bought my very first place to live today! Looking forward to moving into my own place instead of renting (which is basically money out the window) ;)

Yes. It`s a way bigger deal than it seems like - especially coupled with the fact that it works with Walk Between Worlds as well. VC scream-lists will cry tears of nerd-rage ;) Thanks :)

best use it to your advantage whilst you can then haha!

Knowing that you can pick your spells based on your opponents list I'm curious to know what spell selection is for the common threats and army lists you expect to encounter.

Hey just had a game vs vampires using the stardragon, I actually used the etc list you posted a week ago or something with 4 bolthrowers. I went 10 - 10. But I had the game in my pocket, Until I comitted the bus. Lost the bus to graveguards:/ Stardragon alone took out 35 skeletons, summoned zombies, corpscart, screaming chariot(turn 4) damaged every unit in his army, and finished of remains of 30 graveguards. Im liking this monster more and more:P Had my bus just stayed clear of combat, until turn 5 - 6 I would probly go 15 - 5 or better.

@Sackree - Good point, I need to consider this and come up with a template (or two).

@Browncastle - Good to know you enjoy the big bird ;) The important thing to remember is that the bus is not designed to fight. It is designed to preserve points and provide multiple threats: Solid Magic, lots of CR, BOTWD protection and stubborn for the dragon. On its own, there`s fairly little it can do seeing as it`s all S3 and some S4 apart from when you are charging. Basically you have enough hero points @2400 to either go Ogre Blade or Crown of Command. Both have their virtues, but the fundamental role of the bus does not change regardless of your choice.

Hoping for another Teclis game tomorrow ;)

Third game with Teclis and my first game against something else than High Elves ;) I was facing TK which have a 300 point boost for this tournament.


.::. Battle Report - 2000 vs Tomb Kings (uncomped) .::.

My list:
Teclis (Flaming Sword of Rhuin, Searing Doom, Savage Beast of Horros, Thunderbolt, Mindrazor, Dwellers Below, Birona`s Timewarp, Purple Sun) - 450
Sea Helm BSB, Reaver Bow, Shield of the Merwyrm, Ironcurse Icon - 170
Shadow Mage, Forbidden Rod - 120

30 Archers, FC = 330
5 Reavers, Bows = 85
5 Reavers, Bows = 85
Core = 500

36 White Lions, Full Command, Banner of the World Dragon = 548

3 Repeater Bolt Throwers = 210

Army Total = 1998
His list:
Khalida = 365
lvl4 Nehek = 210

Ramhotep = 110
lvl1 death, scroll = 95
lvl1 death, Power Stone = 90

56 Archers, Champ, musi = 356
10 Archers = 60
5 Horse Archers = 70
5 Horse Archers = 70
5 Horse Archers = 70

7 Necro Knights: FC = 485

Casket = 135
Skullhapult = 90
Skullhapult = 90

==2296==
An incredible amount of shooting. I did some math and figured that not even the Lions can reliably push unless the shoot-star is countered: Roughly a handful die, I estimated (I later found out that the average is slightly more than 6 WL, yikes!). For spells, I chose Flaming Sword of Rhuin, Blades of Aiban, Comet, Sun, Dwellers, Enfeebling, Timewarp and Savage Beast. He rolled ward save, shooting, movement, dangerous terrain and double spirit leech.

The idea here was to get to his bunker. Necroknights this big are slow and unreliable so countering them is trivial. I also wanted to snipe the Casket with RBTs. Failing this, I was unsure whether it would be best to target Necroknights or put another couple of wounds on the bunker. I think the best choice depends on the situation and that often, shooting Archers is the best course of action. Having only 5 drops, he had +1 to go first so I deployed defensively.

Image

Image

Image

He went first but due to cumbersome units, he was unable to bring the shootstar to bear on my units T1. Deploying them with maximum width to allow everyone to shoot requires over 20", which is quite unwieldy I can tell you. For my T1 I was cautious and took care to place my Archers so that he`d need to magically walk to engage me. Reavers charged Horse Archers on the West, hoping to overrun. I rolled poorly and got stuck, however.

Image

Image

T2 sees him move up but I spend my super-scroll to deny him moving his army and shoot my Archers. I fail to destroy the spell. For my T2 I roll 3+3 for magic and declare the Rod. I roll 2 wounds for the D3 and snake eyes from the Banner, losing the L1 Shadow mage. I get 4 dice. Teclis casts Enfeebling on 4D6. I reduce his S by 1 but get IF as well, I use the staff to ignore it as I at least need to draw his scroll now. I then proceed to IF Dwellers on 6D6 as well, which kills a huge number of the now-S2 Archers, along with ALL(!) characters apart from Khalida. True to form, Teclis goes down the drain and thus both sides are left without wizards. On the West his horse archers beat (!) my reavers and run them down.

Image

Image

Image

Image

The Lions should be strong enough to deal with the Necroknights but ironically enough I want him to charge as Naval Discipline can be crucial here. He realizes the threat and keeps backing off. We have a mexican standoff where neither player wants to charge. Khalida tries to hide and I initially put 2W on her before I finish her off with RBTs.

Image

Image

The mexican standoff changes somewhat when I reform my Lions wide in my T5. Since he went first, he could charge the Lions now and avoid the Reavers in his rear, or he could let me charge him and hope that I wouldn`t generate enough combat resolution to kill him in one phase. He decided to reform 7-wide.

In my T6 I manage to kill off the Casket with RBTs, its explosion deals a critical 5W or so to the Necroknights. This helps my Lions + Reavers generate enough combat resolution to kill him off, but he got my Sea Helm in the process.

Nevertheless, it is a great win for the High Elves and with the SC bonuses (NM uses +200VP per special character killed), it is a 20-0 victory! (the last game should thus have been 8-12).

// Evaluation //

Khalidastar is nasty, but unwieldy. I made some mistakes in terms of spells. Flaming Sword is inferior to Flame Cage here and Comet is inferior to Curse of the Midnight Wind. Lastly I believe Final Transmutation allows me to better force his hand with its 36" range, though I am not 100% sure 6-dicing is the way to go apart from Dwellers.

What cost my opponent the game was his inability to pressure me early game with his superior shooting. A big part of this was deployment blocking himself in and some bad luck with the catapults (1 died to misfire T1, the other scattered off all turns of the game I think). I at least got to see how the Khalidastar plays and I have a few ideas if I meet it again. Very refreshing and interesting matchup considering the last 2 games have been vs High Elves. I`m hoping for a couple of more games before NM. I find this list challenging to play but it`s no-where near as strong as I´d have thought beforehand. The list has been sent in however so all I can do now is practice and hope Teclis can carry the day without going down the drain every time I roll boxcars ;)

.::. Teclis - Spell Selection Analysis .::.

With NM ruling Teclis being able to pick spells before every game, I think it`s worth spending some time to evaluate certain usual suspects and how best to counter them. The lists have not been published yet (I expect they will in a few days) but I know what some of them will look like.

Basically we have shooty-magic TK, 1+ spam Empire with Life, Beasts of Nurgle-spam DoC, HE flying circus, HE Teclis, Skaven with Bell, some vanilla VC and WoC variants and nasty Ogres. There are some unknown variables here, but I`ll deal with those later. Let`s consider the ones above.

Shooty Magic TK
With fresh experience against this army, I think the following selection is strong:
- Flame Cage
- Purple Sun
- Final Transmutation / Blades of Aiban (depending on # of characters)
- Dwellers Below
- Enfeebling Foe
- Curse of the Midnight Wind / Comet of Casandora (depending on whether Khalida is taken and whether the units are big or many)
- Net of Amyntok. ETC FAQ is in play so a wizard test`s on his own S. If Arkhan is present, Timewarp is a superior spell.
- Wyssan`s Wildform / Amber Spear (depending on necroknights vs sphinxes)

A flexible selection with many medium-hard-to-cast spells and some true killers.

1+ Empire with Life
These lists are very one-dimensional and suffer heavily from Teclis` selection.
- Searing Doom
- Enfeebling Foe
- Dwellers Below
- Savage Beast (to protect vs Dwellers, swap for Amber Spear if Life is not present)
- Iceshard Blizzard
- Flaming Sword of Rhuin
- Purple Sun (remember that I have L1 Shadow for Miasma)
- Net of Amyntok

A few easy to cast spells and some great counters. This list has a huge advantage in a Dwellers-war.

Beasts of Nurgle DoC
I`ve seen lists with 18 beasts at 2000 points. Luckily, my list is one of the best to counter these with the huge unit of Lions basically being one of the best counters in the game.
- Purple Sun
- Timewarp
- Dwellers (if they have metal Heralds as backup this is crucial to prevent multiple turns of tanking final transmutation)
- Enchanted Blades of Aiban
- Flaming Sword of Rhuin
- Enfeebling Foe
- Wyssan`s Wildform
- Harmonic Convergence

Many easy to cast spells and Purple Sun + Timewarp just wrecks this matchup.

HE flying circus
I played such a list recently, and while hard to deal with, it`s not impossible.
- Flaming Sword of Rhuin
- Mindrazor
- Enchanted Blades of Aiban
- Thunderbolt
- Purple Sun
- Throne of Vines (can be swapped for Dwellers if the bus is a priority target, depends on configuration. Miscast protection here is ace)
- Amber Spear
- Timewarp

A quite unusual selection. The Archers need to provide a threat early here and I need multiple spells that are so critical for him to stop that the scroll is almost always gone before combat starts. Blades of Aiban and Flaming Sword make the Archers fearsome for the birds and Amber Spear is alone very hard to let through. Purple sun is a great deterrent as well and Mindrazor + Timewarp provides amazing counter-attack value.

HE Teclis
Assuming a similar list to my own, this matchup is all about establishing superior ranged power and winning the Dwellers war.
- Enfeebling Foe
- Dwellers Below
- Savage Beast of Horros
- Timewarp
- Harmonic Convergence
- Fireball
- Enchanted Blades of Aiban
- Soulblight (one could argue D&D as well)

Fireball makes an entry here as it puts a lot of pressure on RBTs and is great at downing a few Archers as well.

Skaven with Bell
This list is a deathstar with many supporting tools that hurt us badly. Archers and RBTs can not be expected to do a whole lot at a distance, but the former can be quite effective for combat in this matchup, given the right augments.
- Enfeebling Foe
- Dwellers Below
- Flaming Sword of Rhuin
- Wyssan`s Wildform (Amber Spear if multiple Doomwheels/HPAs)
- Soulblight
- Timewarp
- Blades of Aiban
- Harmonic Convergence

Lots of combat boosting spells and a few killers to force his deathstar.

Vanilla Vampires
They either go Hexwraith-spam or hard-as-nails push. I don`t expect gravestars and I don`t expect cavstars.
- Pit of Shades
- Throne of Vines
- Flaming Sword of Rhuin
- Banishment
- Blades of Aiban (gives 3 spells that all enable me to deal with Ethereals)
- Purple Sun
- Harmonic Convergence / Thunderbolt (depending on # of Hexwraiths)
- Wyssan`s Wildform / Transformation of Kadon (depending on how tough the lord is and if I need a panic button)

Very unusual selection but this is all about applying tons of pressure at range and having multiple combat buffs. Purple Sun is a killer. Throne of Vines for miscast protection.

Vanilla WoC
Lots of armour and speed. Lord on disc is a surprisingly hard counter to my list that I don`t have a lot of answers to.
- Mindrazor (a.k.a Panic Button #1)
- Transformation of Kadon (a.k.a Panic Button #2) / Amber Spear (if a DP is chosen over a Lord)
- Flaming Sword of Rhuin
- Timewarp
- Throne of Vines
- Searing Doom
- Spirit Leech
- Thunderbolt

The spell selection plugs down a lot of holes. The sheer speed is still a problem, but with the selection above there`s a ton of threats at a distance.

Ogre Kingdoms
Hellheart is an issue. Staff helps here, but the L1 could still suffer a miscast. Poisoned Maneaters is absolutely disastrous if he has sniper. Anything else is ok, but not good.
- Purple Sun
- Throne of Vines
- Blades of Aiban
- Flaming Sword of Rhuin
- Harmonic Convergence
- Wyssan`s Wildform
- Pha`s Protection
- Mindrazor

Fighting Ogres is all about dealing with the gutstar without targeting it. Thus, augments become a lot better than hexes. A gap in this list is my inability to hurt his mournfang and ironblasters significantly at a distance. I don`t think it`s worth giving up anything here to try and mitigate this though.

More analysis to follow when the lists are posted ;)

Folding fortress indeed, and quite the army to play it, too. Will be a pain for many armies. This is an excellent case for Dwellers to do some serious damage.

The lists overall are nasty, no doubt. In theory, my list has answers to most of them. In practice, it all hinges on magic to carry the day for big wins. High Elves @2k is hard. I`m looking to get 2 more test games, I doubt I`ll have time for more.

Any thoughts on what lists to look out for? :)

#1043 Post by sparkytrypod »

definitely depends on magic, I took teclis to a 2k almost uncomped (including nagash rules) last weekend, with pretty much the same spells as you.
took:
Teclis
noble BsB, shield of merwyrm, golden crown, reaver bow
archers x 30 FC
2 x 5 reavers bows only
28 swordmasters FC the banner
2 x 5 dragon princes (one with banner, other with champ)
2 x bolt throwers

5 games based with 20-0 system and 60 points for painting!! (hence me bringing my well painted dragon princes)

swordmasters with teclis saw 2 combats all tourney, no one wanted to come near them with the range of spells teclis had available.

I really missed a forbidden rod mage, as a couple of low magic phases turned what would have been big wins into small/drawish wins, or just for that extra channel.

getting to pick the spells is awesome but some extra lvl 1 mages with good arcane items is where I fell short, POWERDICE!!

@sparkytrypod - So far the Forbidden Rod has been a godsend in pretty much all of my games. I kind of regret not taking an extra L1 with a secondary scroll, going double light for the potential of S6 Banishment. I think this would be a great weapon to wield in a number of matchups.

@Browncastle - I have not seen any good tower-HE lists. The problem is that we don`t have any serious threats at a range and we frequently end up bleeding too many points outside of the bunker.

Yesterday I had another game with Teclis, playing against Dark Reaper`s Dark Elves. For the occasion, he took one of the NM Morathi lists, with lots of mobility and shooting. At 2k uncomped with the lists as they are now, Dark Elves are not the ones scaring me the most, but nevertheless practice against them is highly valuable.


.::. Battle Report - 2000 vs Dark Elves (uncomped) .::.

My list:
Teclis (Flaming Sword of Rhuin, Blade of Aiban, Wildform, Comet, Withering, Flesh to Stone, Pha`s Protection, Soulblight) - 450
Sea Helm BSB, Reaver Bow, Shield of the Merwyrm, Ironcurse Icon - 170
Shadow Mage, Forbidden Rod - 120

30 Archers, FC = 330
5 Reavers, Bows = 85
5 Reavers, Bows = 85
Core = 500

36 White Lions, Full Command, Banner of the World Dragon = 548

3 Repeater Bolt Throwers = 210

Army Total = 1998
His list:
Morathi on Sulephet (dark pegasus), general, level 4, lore of death/shadow/dark 375
Master on dark pegasus, BSB, heavy armour, sea dragons cloak, shield, lance, repeater crossbow, cloak of twilight 218
Sorceress, level 1, lore of fire, dispel scroll, ironcurse icon 110

21 darkshards, musician, standard bearer, shields, banner of eternal flame 303
5 dark riders, musician, shields, repeater crossbows 110
5 dark riders, musician, shields, repeater crossbows 110

Reaper Bolt Thrower 70
Reaper Bolt Thrower 70
Cold one chariot 115
Cold one chariot 115
5 harpies 75
5 harpies 75

5 Doomfire warlocks 125
5 Doomfire wrlocks 125
Total: 1996
The idea behind my spell selection was to play Teclis like a super-loremaster: Always having the small spells available. With almost all the spells having low casting values I could take maximum advantage of his +5 to cast. The battle would prove this to be a flawed approach however...

With my opponent having a million drops, he could deploy perfectly against me. For this game then, it was very important for me to deploy regardless of what he did, to simply make a formation that would be very hard for him to engage. To this end I decided to go for an approach I have frequently used with my more mobile lists, spreading the RBTs out on the table edge on my refused flank with the Archers on the extreme flank, protected by the Lions toward the center. He opted for the other flank, so we would have a skewed game with him having the greater degree of mobility (something I know is a big advantage). The question then would be simply if I could make my firepower count before he could sweep through all of my weak elements and leave the blocks isolated:

Image

Despite me having +1, he grabbed first turn (this is always a big deal in Elf matchups). The following pictures show the start of the game:

Image

Image
The white dice indicate where the front of the Lions are, I did not move them 20" in one turn. It was simply impossible to balance them.

Fast cav moves up with flyers landing in them. Reavers are destroyed on my East but luckily I stop Doombolt so my RBT is fine. His reapers fail to kill any RBTs so T1 isn`t all that bad. I respond by marching Archers and Lions towards the middle and my magical barrage starts, but T1 does little damage with him channelling twice, unfortunately. Shooting is a bit better with a few fast cav disappearing.

Image

Image

He advances very aggressively and kills one of the RBTs with Warlocks. The other 2 survive and my scroll is blown on Black Horror, but I fail to destroy it.

I wheel the Archers up, reform the Lions to threaten his advance and move the closest RBT 5" back to make charges on his part very iffy. Magic rolls up 7v5 and I invoke Forbidden Rod to make the phase 10v5. I go 2D6 Flaming Sword on the Archers and 2D6 Blades of Aiban on the Archers which he lets through, before I finish with a 6D6 IF Withering on his Warlocks + Morathi. I use my staff to ignore the miscast. They have their T reduced by 1. If he had spent dice to stop one of the former spells, I would split the remaining 6D6 between Soulblight and Withering because his scroll was still intact.

Shooting is spectacular as my super-buffed Archers and RBTs manage to kill ALL the Warlocks AND Morathi!!

Image

His Warlocks and BSB move up out of charge range. His magic + shooting destroys the last 2 RBTs. At this point the game is pretty much over: He can`t touch my blocks and I can`t catch him. We thus trade pot-shots off eachother with me claiming his RBTs, Warlocks and L1 (due to miscast) and he brings the Archers down to 8 (1 away from giving up half points).

With my two main units giving up 0 points and the spectacular display of shooting T2, it was a 16-4 win to the High Elves!

// Evaluation //

Pha`s Protection was largely useless. Failing to take Enfeebling + Dwellers meant that he could approach me with little risk and had I not shot him to death, he could`ve hid behind the house and spammed Black Horror for the rest of the game. Thus, I should have taken Banishment, Enfeebling and Dwellers which combined would`ve given me a healthy punch vs him. I`m also unsure of Comet. It`s good for drawing dice but it`s an expensive spell with little flexibility.

Deployment was also a bit of a miss. Vs Dark Elves splitting the RBTs is not that big of a concern: With Valour of Ages it`s more important to consider their threat angles. I think that in a matchup like this it might be best to screen them with WL to provide cover and thus ensure an advantage in the early turns shooting duel. In this game I got to pick sides and I realized when I was about to place the RBTs that the other side would`ve been superior.

A few important lessons learned. Getting to know Teclis and this defensive list more and more ;)

After going through all of the lists, here are in my opinion some of the best for an all comers environment. Are you planning on going through all of them and assigning a -2 through to +2?

nice game.

one thing I missed when playing with teclis was a good magic missile, is there anything to be said for swapping flaming sword for fireball?

flaming sword is epic though!
death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain

do an rpg personality test, im from Ireland and I get...

Should Dark Reaper just have hidden Morathi Curu? Was there a safer way for her to approach? The list seems decent to me though I'm not sure what the chariots are adding. The bus in the other list looks scary but Dwellers and maybe FT are an issue because there aren't many secure options for the characters outside the bus. Also, is the 4+ of Dark Riders enough? I've found Wild Riders die very quickly at times. Dwellers is a threat to Teclis here but PD and Destroy Scroll should give him the edge. Savage Beast as a defence here was mentioned?

@sandstorm - I don`t have time to rate them all. I`m not familiar enough with a no-comp setting to give a proper evaluation, either. I do agree that your selected few look very strong, with the exception of some (I think WoC and EMP are too one-dimensional and are bound to run into tough matchups).

@sparkytrypod - I think Banishment is easily the best magic missile vs Dark Elves. Fireball is also handy, but as long as I expect the Archers to be important Flaming Sword is a much more dangerous spell: Since I can cast it on 2D6 you get more mileage out of the phase as well.

@SpellArcher - Good questions - very timely! I discussed this with him after the match, and long story short Dark Elves can approach this in 3 different ways: You can go gung-ho style all-in with deploying the Darkshards opposite the Archers with Harpies and Chariots supporting and, if needed, chaffing the Lions, you can go refused on the other flank and play defensively or you can try a sweeping manoeuvre. I think Dark Reaper deployed like the the 2nd alternative but played like the 3rd: Given the strategy he chose (sweeping wide) I think the Darkshards should`ve had a more commanding position in the center. This would allow him a safe haven to land in as well, at a comfortable distance (with 2 harpy units in reserve and the L1 as a throw-away it is impossible for the Lions to push regardless of what I do).

The problem however is that we want to evaluate NM play here and you don`t go to a national championship with the intention of winning 12-8 ;) At least I don`t expect people to and I will do what I can to score big wins instead. This necessitates risky play and can swing both ways (see my Indian Summer Game 5 for example). What we discovered in this match is that the mobility of the Dark Elves allows them to push the High Elves hard if the deployment isn`t tight, to the point where they can eradicate all support elements and even threaten the big blocks with Black Horror, Word of Pain and Soulblight (you don`t get BOTWD ward vs Black Horror as per ETC FAQ).

Pushing up like this is risky however because the bunkers are so small and fragile, which this matchup showed very well: Despite suboptimal spells on Teclis I was able to wipe out the fast cav in 2 turns of shooting (even with DE going first). Granted I was lucky (Morathi had taken a wound previously and the Archers did 2 more on her, both of which her 4++ failed to save), but it shows the potential.

To conclude then, I learned that a push like this is nigh on impossible for DE to succeed with -IF- I have the right combination of spells and deploy well. That is a very valuable lesson and one I`m hoping my possible DE opponents @NM don`t know about: As per my Powerplay tactica reasoning a defensive list relies on people over-committing to score big points and this Teclis endeavour is no exception.

Short note on the big DR unit. 4++ is enough because when combat starts your entire front rank will consist of hard-as-nails characters having made way to be a real pain. The problem with these guys for my list in particular is their inherent advantage in terms of speed (casting Dwellers first is a big deal), but also the fact that these guys can actually head-on engage the Lions and possibly win if I`m not careful. Dwellers is indeed disastrous for them, so it`s a dicey list that can easily lose to a single bad matchup - but the same goes for Teclis :D Savage Beast and Scroll of Hoeth do help out indeed, but they can only do so much...

Hoping to have time for at least one more game, but this coming week is quite busy for me, so we`ll see. Will keep you posted, and regardless I`ll evaluate the spells a bit closer in light of recent events ;)
