My mate and I played a HE vs DE match on Saturday - which I wrote it up (with pictures) on Druchii.net: http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?p=902076#p902076
I would love your thoughts on the battle and advice on how we can each improve.

Nice battlerepport here is a late reply
Over all i think you did well - but you had problems with breake tests so you need to add a BSB to you list and i generaly think you should "Tool up" a bit and chose a better magic lore for you mage.
Without telling you to go buy 50 new models a few changes would make you list much better (well if you want to buy new models a box of silver helms is a good place to start
Proposal new list.
Archmage - Lvl 4 Heavens, Book of Hoeth, Golden Crown of Atrazar.
When you play with an archmage the book of hoeth is to good to miss, the Crown offers some protection.
I have chosen heavens - it is a good easy lore to play with good spells to add you units but also good damage spells - you will find it much more usefull than life.
Mage - Lvl 1 Beast, Dispel Scroll
Wyssan's wildform is good to you low strengh units
Noble BSB
Heavy armour, Shield of the merwyrm, Potion of strengh.
Defencive build but with the potion he can do damage, he goes with the phoenix guards
20 Archers
20 Archers
5 Ellyrian Reavers
23 Phoenix Gaurd
full command and razor banner.
Phoenix Gaurd need the razor banner to add against armour - i have taken out models to pay for the banner and add cost on you charakters
Frostheart Phoenix
