Re: 2000pts Double AM + Sister core

I like the list. It's not the strongest by any means, and I can imagine it will struggle against tooled up monster lords. But I love the avoidance feel it has and I think it will pull off some interesting things. It should make your opponent think of what and how to engage. Let us know how it perfor...

Re: Thoughts on Dragon Princes

Grail Knights are T4? I'd missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. I already found the S4 unfair to elves. T4 is just an insult to elves everywhere. I had simply assumed "human model, so T3 default".

Re: Drain magic - useless?

When I played a game against High Elves with a level 4 Archmage on their side, and only two level 2 wizards on my side, it did a good job of shutting down my magic as I consistently failed to roll an 8 on my dispel roll, which is only about a 40% chance or so, and my wizards had little luck beating...

Re: Thoughts on Dragon Princes

I’m afraid the maths is not in our favour. Dragon Princes are roughly equivalent to Grail Knights or Chosen Knights in cost and both of those pack more of a punch and can withstand more damage than Dragon Princes, especially in subsequent rounds of combat, when DP’s strike at the same time as them....

Re: Casting order matters?

That's how it's worded, so that's how it works. The casting order indeed matters here. It's a small detail, and not likely to impact your opponent's dispelling. But I can imagine that when your opponent has something like a scroll it does have an effect.

Re: Drilled Tactica or How to Swordmaster

So, Redress from 7x2 to 2x7, march up 12", wheel 3" (for a 2 wide unit") for a 90°Turn. Being 2x25mm wide you have effectively "advanced the front" by 14" in total. In this case you're actually moving too far. The Redress from 7X2 uses 3'' of "movement" for o...

Re: Big problems vs Khemri

One answer is combat. If the mage is in combat, then he can't cast the revive spells I think. Then, also focus on taking out whole units instead of just removing a few models. Detroyed units can't be resurected. You're faster than him (since he can't march with most things). So gang up on his units ...

Though the Wyvern and the Arachnarok aren't the toughest monsters out there, you do need some way of dealing with them. Chose your preference. I would go with one or two of magic, monster slaying sword, and your own monster, combined with a bigger combat block. Dragon princes are a good, though expe...

Re: 2000 “realistic” and as strong as possible

I think you have too many spearmen and too many points in core to be as strong as possible. The spearmen are still only S3, T3 models. You also don't have a lot of shooting. I would replace one of the spearmen units with 10 archers, which saves you 130 pts. Which is a Lion Chariot, or equivalent. I'...

Nice! These last two do seem to follow the GW mantra of "Skulls! Skulls, skulls and more skulls! Skulls everywhere!" ;)

Re: 2000 New-Age EAF

Interesting list. Lots of small, mobile stuff. Though the archers and sisters will probably end up being a bit lonely.

Note though that your archmage can't be your general in this case. Nobles are LD 9, while the archmage is LD 8, so one of the nobles will end up as your general.
