Friendly 2250 HE vs Skaven

#1 Post by Stajl »

I'm not to experienced with warhammer so any advices would be welcome.
This is the list so far

Archamge lvl 4
-Book of Hoeth
360

Mage lvl 2
-silver wand
-2x dispell scroll
185

Noble BSB (on foot)
Great weapon
Dragon Armor
-Ring of Fury
164

Lothern Seaguards 2x26 Shield and Standard
2x348

Phoenix Guards x15 Standard
-Banner of Sorcery
286

Tiranoc Chariots x2
170

Ellyrian Reavers
85

Repeater Bolt Throwers x2
200

Great Eagles x2
100

total points 2247

Seguards deployed seven wide for 5 in last rank
Book of hoeth for getting spells through on MR units
lvl2 mage for extra magic protection and for suport

I have played two matches against skaven so far and from my experience the seaguards have performed better then I have expected, especially thanks to the second mage, so was thinking of using them as the backbone of the army.

Why dont you take out the two LSG units and include 2x units of 10 archers and 2x units of 24 spearmen in order to allow more maneuverability and to give you more units since you are coming up against a horde army.
Take out the silver wand and a dispel scroll on the mage and give it the seerstaff of saphery so you have more control over your magic phase and if you want, take out the book of hoeth and put the silver wand, ring of fury and a powerstone on the archmage because the book isnt very "friendly" and its also quite risky because you are very prone to miscasts at 5+ dice.

Sticking with your concept, I would absolutely drop some sea guard in order to make the Phoenix Guard bigger. Get them to size 20, so you can take a couple casualties and still have full rank bonus.
