8th Ed 2250 list - my go at it
Posted: Fri Jun 25, 2010 5:59 pm
The Sea Elves come out to play again! I know full well this is not optimal, but for now, I'm going to roll with something like this until I get more 8th ed friendly units painted.
Prince
Dragon Armour, Shield, Halberd
Helm of Fortune, Talisman of Preservation (4+ ward)
Moon Dragon
Noble
BSB
Great Weapon, Armour of Caledor, Amulet of Light
Mage
Level 2
Dispel Scroll
Lore of Life
20 Sea Guard
shields, full command
Banner of the Eternal Flame
20 Spearmen
full command
10 Archers
19 Phoenix Guard
full command
Banner of Arcane Protection
(BSB here)
5 Dragon Princes
2 Repeater Bolt Throwers
2 Eagles
2246pts
Basically models I already have painted. Lore of Life is so fluffy for these, and was my original idea when I first thought up the sea elves - but the lore was rubbish last ed... now with the little traits, it can really help HE's where we stuggle.
The Dragon is still a dragon.... despite having to downgrade to a moon dragon and the rules change... the thunder stomp coupled with its breath in combat could still see a crucial charge turn the game, the BSB and the phoenix guard will still be the unmovable wall it was in 7th... 2+ ward vs spells is nice!
I'll have to see how the dragon princes fare now. Okay they can't break ranks... but on the charge supporting an infantry block they will make the difference.
Low on numbers. Low on magic. In future lists I will add more mages in - probably an archmage over the prince on dragon.. but at least with the new rules the level 2 can actually cast stuff.
Thoughts?
EDIT - I missed off the moon dragon from the list originally....
