2400 new High elves, 1st draft

#1 Post by Ceridan »

Hello everyone!

Somewhat long time player, started playing during the start of 6th edition. Switched over to Wood Elves for a long time, however, with the arrival of the new High Elves I wanted to give them a try once more :)

Here's my first list, using ETC 2013 3d draft rules. Looking for any inputs and comments you can give me.


Archmage (Shadow) 320
-4th Level
-Book of Hoeth
-Talisman of Preservation

Mage (High) 160
-2nd Level
-Crown of Command
-Talisman of Protection

Noble 149
-BsB
-Armour of Caledor
-Great Weapon

28 x Spear Elves 282
- Full Command

6 x Silver Helms 168
- Shields
- Full Command

6 x Silver Helms 168
- Shields
- Full Command

20 x Phoenix Guards 330 (High Mage goes here)
-Full Command

19 x White Lions 327 (Archmage goes here)
-Full Command
- Banner of the World Dragon

Frostheart Phoenix 240

2 x Repeating Bolt Thrower 140

8 x Sisters of Avelorn 112


The basic idea would be to have the 3 infantry blocks to advance, the sisters and bolt throwers to deal with chaff and possible high threats, the two Silver Helm units to either Flank Support charge or threaten enemy warmachines (eventually).
The archmage along with Frost Phoenix would be abusing their stat manipulation to win close combats (in the best case scenario the High Mage would also get Hand of Glory for further Stat manipulation).

To be honest, I would like to fit in some kind of redirectors (like Reavers or Eagles), however, do I need to?

The list was built to (in theory) be able to compete against any army rather then a specific one.
