Hey sounds fun and looks fluffy!

1 RBT and the BotS won't do all that much at 3k. I know it's a friendly list but I'd tried to drop some mages and get another block in the army.

Just to point out, your BSB has a 5+ save :(, he'll die as easy as a couple of spearman

I agree, more RBTs!! you have 6(!!) rare slots, use them, another couple of RBTs and an extra eagle would be good, or 4 RBT if you have the points.

3000 points with max characters plus 2 Griffon!!! You have no army! To me, it isn't that friendly a list. Sure it isn't a nasty Teclis+Star Dragon list, but the game remains really just about the Griffons. If they go down, you don't have much else to hurt the enemy.

So.....how would you change it? I want to keep the two Griffons and Korhil, but other than that I'm open to changing the characters. Although, I do hesitate on going strictly magic defense, any thoughts?

In all honesty you dont have enough white lions. To constitute a Chrace list at 3k I would expect AT LEAST 2 units of 20-25 strong white lions, one with lion standard and the other with banner of balance. the rest of the special being delt out in lion chariots, put korhil in a lion chariot too and the core can be whatever you want it to be really. I would probably expect archers from chrace though.

I would probably say drop both untis of wivler helms for more charitos and white lions, make the other prince just as killy as the first, i would probably jsut drop both mages to scroll duty too.
Hey, does this cloth smell like chloroform?

Y'all have some good points, I'm re-working my 2250 list so that it'll be the same when I expand to 3000.

I prefer that list. I would drop the Crystal for 2 scrolls however. It's better to have two hard spell stoppers than an extra dispel die.

Thanks, I also couldn't find a way I like to bring it down to 2250 so I was thinking I'd use it as just a 3000pt list(the point level that the guy I'll have most of my games with prefers).
