Re: Guardians of Uthuan, 8th Edition army lists and batreps

So, I just got back from Valhalla, done by blue table painting, and I had a blast. I got to get some great games in and, more importantly, I got to meet some amazing people. I would do it again in a heartbeat. http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/Thatguyoverthere2011/HEvSkaven/214.jpg They did u...

Re: Guardians of Uthuan, 8th Edition army lists and batreps

Hey Ulthuan! I'm leaving on Thursday to attend blue table painting's Valhalla event with my High Elves. This event's theme is Tomb Kings so get excited for incoming pictures when I return. The event is at 2000 points which required some tailoring of my list. This is the shorthand of what I came up w...

Re: Hit Men, 10 Eagle list

Thanks for all of the responses guys. I thought about how to deal with deathstars and, if worse comes to worse, you could just feed that unit 200 points of regular eagles and try to get what you can elsewhere. The watchtower mission would suck but I don't think tournaments (or most players) play tha...

Re: Curu Olannon's Vindicators - 2500pts Army Blog

In light of this, let me rephrase my comment from earlier: I'm suprised the Chaos player didn't make more of an effort to get throgg in combat with the silver helms with the lord in it. With 5 wounds and regeneration, there is no way your lord could kill him in one round of combat, and between copi...

Hit Men, 10 Eagle list

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this has been done before but what is the feasibility of throwing a bunch of characters on eagles and flying them around the table? 20 str 6 reroll to hit attacks at WS6/7 is pretty nice and, obviously, you'd be charging them all at once. Or, if you're playing something lik...

Re: Guardians of Uthuan, 8th Edition army lists and batreps

Well, I actually kind of like the chariots. In the ONE game I've had with my high elves they've done alright. I could see them being cannon bait though. As long as they draw fire from my cavalry I'm happy. They also hit really hard and with movement 8 with swiftstride they get there fast. They also ...

I completely agree with you Tiralya. I take seaguard because they can "shoot and fight in ranks" so I need to embrace that! In future fights I really need to plan out their moves better. The cavalry saved my butt though and that was mostly due to the fact that he was fleeing my charges and...

I like chariots for a couple of reasons. 1) As mentioned, they are great when accompanying a ranked unit or for counter charges. 2) If counter charging, remember that charging +1, flank +1 and all of the casualties you cause can really swing a combat in your favor. Depending on who you're facing, yo...

He could always go with vambraces of defense. It makes him have a 2+ save when combined with the other modifiers and gives him a reroll plus a 4+ ward. It fits in nice with the 45 point gem.

I'd consider giving your bsb a ward save (phoenix 5+) and perhaps giving your prince a steed so he can ride with your dragon princes. The DP's would benefit from a banner more than a musician because of the blood and glory scenario and because musicians break ties while banners always give you a +1....

Re: 2500 Magic Focused Competitive List

You should really try to get the skeinsliver in your list. If you finish deploying first that's +2(!!!) to go first. If you finish deploying last then neither side gets a benefit. It's a pretty good deal and increases your chances a bunch.

I'd probably break up the 20 archers into 2 groups of 10. You want them taking out things like fanatics and weapon teams anyway, not full blown units. Yeah, 2x10 with a standard only. This'll help for blood and glory. Other than that, the list looks good! I think your 1st list is a lot more stable b...

I'm thinking spells like Pha's protection, earthblood, shield of saphery and the like are the key to protecting High Elves. What's going to kill you the fastest in 8th? Warmachines. So, rather than try and make you harder to hit in close combat I think limiting warmachine damage is the way to go. I ...

@theduskiestelf The giant blade is kind of a waste... 60 points for +3 str when 12 gets you +2. They aren't magic attacks though. I'm not sure if I'd get him the talisman of saphery though.

Well, I think you could decrease the phoenix guard a bit and put those points into more spear elves or more white lions. 20 phoenix guard and 18 (6x3) white lions sounds about right. 18 white lions makes them a bit harder hitting and lets them live longer too. I think life would probably be your bes...

I really like your list because it has everything I wanted to take (reavers, 4 eagles, Dragon princes) yet takes everything that I think a high elf list "needs" which is elite infantry. I am excited to hear how it goes for you.

What army are you playing against?

I'm thinking about splitting up my elite units because of just that. However, I really want to wipe something out the turn I charge in. I also want to have ranks.

I dunno, I'll have to play test. Lizardmen like units of 30 and I'm sure high elves are the same.

Alright, well the battle plan should be relatively simple for you. The greatest threats to you are the weapons teams and Snikch. The gutter runners will get the jump on you but you don't have any units that they're really good against (warmachines) so they'll probably go after your archers. If the r...
