2500 New High Elves

#1 Post by Arthok »

Hi! I registered a long time ago but never bothered to post iirc, but whatever. Got some ideas for a 2500 list, let me know if you see anything wrong with it!

LORDS:

Archmage Lv 4 @ 285
..Book of Hoeth
..Cloak of Beards
..High Magic

Loremaster of Hoeth @ 265
..Dispel Scroll
..Dragonhelm

HEROES:

Noble BSB @ 161
..Dragon Armour
..Great Weapon
..Shield

Handmaiden of the Everqueen @ 140
..Reaver Bow
..Potion of Strength

CORE:

50 Spearmen (10x5) @ 480
..Full Command

11 Archers (5x2 + 1)@ 120
..Musician

11 Archers (5x2 + 1)@ 120
..Musician

SPECIAL:

14 Swordmasters of Hoeth (7x2) @ 212
..Full Command

21 White Lions (7x3) @ 303
..Full Command

RARE:

15 Sisters of Avelorn (5x3) @ 220
..High Sister

Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower @ 70

Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower @ 70

Great Eagle @ 50


TOTAL: 2496

I plan on sticking the Archmage with High Magic with the spears, boosting their ward save and making them tougher. The Loremaster will go with the Swordmasters (Fluffy!) and can cast Wyssan's Wildform on the spearmen to make them even tougher, or support his own unit or the White Lions. Sisters are there to soften units and nullify regeneration, and archers and RBT for more shooty support.
The eagle will do his job trying to hunt war machines and/or redirecting.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Why do you take champ in your unit of Archer ? You can get an extra archer for the same price.

With tall lance held to our foe's throat,
Cold fury guiding our aim,
We are death upon the wind.

Since we no longer have any way to boost the magic phase, I don't think two lord-level casters can be worthwhile. And that is the conclusion from the few battle reports I've read where it was tried.

Hrrrmmm... Yeah, you are right. I've been doing some dice testing, and that seems the case... Any suggestions? Drop the loremaster and adding a phoenix would help? Or maybe keep the loremaster and a lv 2 mage?
