Help me to made an army out of my minis

#1 Post by Tribun »

I'm new to HE, and I don't know whats good, whats not. I bought some minis on ebay (unpainted yeah!) and ask you for helping me, to turn them into a competitive force.

I have:

8 Silverhelms full commando
12 archers
5 white lions: one musician
1 RBT
1 tiranoc chariot


I also have from my Asrai:

8 Waywatchers archer, one sorceress and one noble with thw...perhaps they could find use in my asur-army, too.

So what lists would you recommend me?

More White Lions (I'd say at least 15 including a Guardian and a Standard Bearer) and an RBT to start with. A big block (20 with full command) of spears is a good additions, as are Swordmasters. Great Eagles are always nice, even if I prefer the RBTs. It really depends what you want your army to do, shooting, magic, close combat, cavalry, infantry, gives us something to work with

Luna, try not to beat them too hard. They are proud about their pseudo-glorious past and their present nothingness, you know.

Thanks, but first of all I want a playable list with my minis..it doesn't have to be big...500-1000pts perhaps, but please without telling me, that I have to buy more troops.

Work out, what I can do with my existing range, perhaps adding on or two chars.

for example:
*************** 2 heros***************
noble
+ lance, shield, heavy armour
+ Elfsteed barded
+ huntingbow, Talisman ofLoec
- - - > 161 Punkte

nolbe
+ lance, shield, heavy armour
+ Elfsteed barded
+ bsb, Standard of Balance
- - - > 181 Punkte

*************** 1 core***************
12 archers
- - - > 132 Punkte

*************** 4 elite***************
5 white lions
- - - > 75 Punkte

5 silverhelms, shields
- - - > 115 Punkte

5 DP proxed by SH
- - - > 150 Punkte

Tiranoc chariot
- - - > 85 Punkte

*************** 1 rare ***************
RBT
- - - > 100 Punkte


total : 999

Your request makes no sense. Get the army book, add up the point cost, your list is done. If you have no points limit, and want to use every model, there is no thinking or decision making to be done.
Use the Silver Helms as Dragon Princes to spend more points.

Well fielding as 5 DPs, 10 archers, tiranoc, 5 WL and the BT can get you 500 points roughly. Then add some characters and you can maybe get some 750 games going. Not the most effective army but playable. To expand a box of spears, BTs and eagles and more WLs. Then choose what you like.

I recommend my article (haha advertising :D) "A complete Guide to Starting High Elves" which can be found in the library :)

Hope that helps

You should have at least one Mage, possibly one of your nobles can take the Radiant Gem.
