1200 points for beardy tourney
Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2010 3:24 pm
In a couple of weeks I'll be entering the Pennine Pillage, a 1200 point, 4 scenario tournament One of the scenarios is mud (slows cavalry down), one is fog (limited visibilty). I'm struggling at this level, as it seems you can't fit nearly enough in. Beardiness is encouraged, which I'm not sure high elves can really do.
Anyway, this is what I've come up with:
Noble, amulet of fire, helm of fortune, barded elven steed, halberd, heavy armour, 154
10 archers, 110
15 Phoenix guard, full command, banner of arcane protection, 280
9 Swordmasters, 135
5 Dragon princes, musician, standard bearer, lion standard, 205
Tiranoc chariot, 85
5 shadow warriors, 80
Repeater bolt thrower, 100
Eagle, 50
Total 1199
I've really tried to keep the character cost down (hence no mages, but some magic resistance instead). The swordmasters might seem a funny number, but I couldn't think what else to get after putting 7 in. Some will die anyway.
Comments and criticisms most welcome. Please feel free to tear this to shreds and tell me I'm on completely the wrong track!
