The first tactical issue I can see is that the Griffon is fast and the rest of the army is more suited to sitting and shooting. Maybe hide him if you can and jump out when the enemy closes. Though he might do a better job on foot in this list. I don't think Life is the best fit here because the lis...

It boils down to what your army needs. Perhaps more than ever, spells like Walk Between Worlds and Arcane Unforging are huge game turners. High Magic is about manipulating how fights happen rather than when they happen. In this regard the lore is kind of unique. Whether it's the best choice depends...

I disagree.

I am willing to me convinced/enlightened

Ok is High Magic the best Lore? I think we can all agree: No it is not. I personally think Life is more versatile and keeps the army as a whole alive longer as apposed to the One unit getting a Ward Save buff. As well as providing Miscast Protection (although this one is negatable able given how we ...

First let me say thanks to the comments thus far. Each as given me some food for thought. :D Going to have to change this thread title to Saphery/Lothern themed list. Why? I was popping through the threads here and found a few lists that inspired me. Combining those with the original Fluff I had dre...

An alternative list I came up with to use my previously unused Prince/Noble on Griffon. The Griffon offers a nice juicy target. One that's hard to ignore. Just curious as to what would be more points efficient. The Prince or Noble. Given how the Prince sinks 375 points into himself vs the Noble's 29...

Decided to stick with the original fluff I had in mind when I made this list. The Shaow Warriors ad Sisters are pretty much interchangeable depending on who/what I'm going against. Comments, Suggestions welcome as always. Lords "Rainor" High Magic Archmage lvl 4 (320) -Book of Hoeth, Golde...

You've given me something to think about with the BSB Noble and the Sisters (I can use those models as both Sisters and Shadow Warrios units since I used both sets of parts.) Unfortunately I'm working with all the Fantasy models I own. And most, by "most" I mean, all of my budget after bil...

After a long absence I have returned older, wiser, more experienced. And moving into bigger games. As always I can't even imagine playing a none Swordmasters list. I just have one problem. I can't decided on which Lord combination to go with. I have it narrowed down to four: -Alarielle the Radiant a...

A few tweaks after learning a few things. 1500 points Archmage lvl 4 (320) -Lore: Life -Book of Hoeth, Fencer's Blades, Dragonbane Gem, Ironcure Icon Korhil standing in for Noble (150) Core : Archers x12 [2x6 rank] (142) -Light Armor, Musician Archers x12 [2x6 rank] (142) -Light Armor, Musician Elly...

Thanks for the food for thought. Got my brain out of the rut it was in as far as this goes. Been thinking it over and came to the conclusion that having Stubborn would probably help more. Sense my swordmasters are going to be 3 ranks deep they'll rarely ever get it naturally.

Written by a newbie for newbies. If something like this exists already then my apologies in advance. I want to take a second here and write out my thoughts about two of my favorite Lores of Magic and how IMHO they can help High Elves. Keeping in mind my general inexperience I think I've gotten a goo...

Mask or Cloak will not be on my Archmage.

Archmage is rocking. Book of Hoeth, Fencer's Blades, Ironcurse Icon, and Dragonbane Gem.

Something that's been spinning around and around in my head for a while. Which would you rather take? Cloak of Beards or Terrifying Mask of EEEE!? I'm most likely going to be going up against horde armies most of my time so I wanted a little something extra besides Elves that won't die. (Archmage wi...

And who says the Dark Elves and High Elves can't agree on anything?

I would prefer tempest to be able to cast into close combat... I agree. I would love to see it as as Hex instead of direct damage. There are other Hex type spells out there that also have a damage component, so it's not unprecedented. The big template scatter also introduces an element of risk too,...

First I'm going to say thank you. Why? I found your Saphery themed list and it helped me finish my own. http://www.ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=54006 Now onto this list. Right on for taking the Cloak of Beards. I don't see why people hate on Cloak of Beards? Yeah I see that it's best u...

Personally I'm fielding my Swordmasters as a 22 man unit with 2 Lone Characters adding to the numbers giving them a formation of 8 wide 3 deep. Traditionally with a Banner of the World Dragon, but I'll be swapping it out as needed. My meta will be mostly Horde armies. I.E. Vamp Counts, Orcs, Skaven....

Personally I like High Magic. Then again I'm handicapping myself by playing a Swordmasters list (I admit I'm a newbie but I figured that out just reading the army book). So here's how I see High Magic working at it's best. Putting both a Archamge and an Anointed of Asursyan in the same unit. The Ano...

Thanks for the welcome! I'll be sure to check out the whole forum and see what I'm in for. Looking like a great place. I'll defiantly be spending time in the story, RP, and Army list section. p.s. Burn Ulthuan. Ulthuan can burn over my Archmage's decaying, mutilated, burnt corpse lol. Although I don...

In order as they come. Yeah that was a typo on my end Talisman of Protection. Although a thought accord to me reexamining the Lores based on your suggestions. Throne of Thrones and the Signature Spell of the Lore of Life gives him and his unit a 4+ Regeneration Save. Combined with the Dragon Bane Ge...

When I was making this fluff/themed list I stumbled onto this forum and drew some influence from this list: http://www.ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=52818 My many thanks The Silly Dragon! And my thanks to those reading and commenting. My introduction should in the Off Topic section. 150...

Hello there guys and gals. As you can tell I'm new to the forum and well fantasy in general. I've played 40k for about a year now and since my 2 40k armies are where I want them I had to find a new fix for my model building addiction lol so I'm oozing a little into Fantasy. I've always loved the Hig...
