Greetings all, my first list posted looking for a tourney in a few weeks. Not my first tourney but one as a High Elf player. For the past few months I have been playing a list similar to this with success as of late but looking for further tweeking. thanks

Archmage
I assume Talisman of Protection = Talisman of Saphery?
Why do you have it? They can still whack you and kill you.....

Noble
Should change to great weapon

LSG
What's the use for your 12 LSGs? So far I can see it's for protection your RBTs? If so

DPs
Don't need the musician

Swordsmasters
Up it to 14 if you can and give them Talisman of Loec and Standard of Balance

White Lions
Give them Amulet of Fire and Lion Standard

RBT
Probably 2 is enough

Great Eagle
Get 2 is a good amount

Um..I think it's the 10pt Talisman of Protection. Most people despise it but I don't think it's a bad spend of 10pts.

Noble

Yep, unless you have a lovely halberd model or something.

I think a third Core unit can work but yes it's role needs to be clear IMHO. What's the plan for this one?

Swordsmasters

White Lions

Agree with this.

Probably 2 is enough

Great Eagle

Either way is fine IMHO.

Apologies for multi-quoting pk-ng but it seemed the best way!

Correct just a Talisman of Protection cheap but better than nothing.

Noble

I do but I can do a Great Weapon as well...STR6 always works.

I think a third Core unit can work but yes it's role needs to be clear IMHO. What's the plan for this one?

Correct, more shooting (quantity of quality) protection of bolt throwers. I took 15 last game (and along with other shooting) and picked off a Skink Priest on a EOG on the 2nd turn even with their 5+ ward. Quantity vs Quality. I might drop 10 of the archers to free up more points and take 15. Tons of large targets now (Gorgons, HPits, etc) even in 3 ranks thats 15 shots.

Swordsmasters

Thinking of dropping them to 7, and pick up small unit of PG. A 4+ ward save unit for my Archmage is much better..I can also than drop his ward save. Need a Banner of Sorcery as well I am thinking.

I know some people like small PG units but I'm not a fan. Elite infantry should be fighting units IMHO.

I'd missed that! Yes you do!

[pk-ng]

not a fan of small PGs units as well but yeah definitely need BoS it'll boost your magic capabilities

Added, PG wise I was actually thinking about 15 which I guess isn't really small. I like the idea of a small unit of Swordmasters. Nice to get a flank charge in and heck if they are spending their time on the SM they are ignoring everything else.

[SpellArcher]

15 PG is viable but 20 is more of a threat.

If you're going really small, Swordmasters must be the best bet.
