1000 point HE vs Lizardmen
Posted: Mon May 08, 2017 4:12 am
Hi all,
Pleased to report a great victory this evening over the Lizardmen that I have otherwise been struggling with due to the LM high S and high T, cold blooded and good magic.
Although I wasn't quite able to get a lord and or hero choice on mount I did include more cavalry, which won me the day. To the new players or newbies that read this forum, make an account and post in this forum. The veteran players within the HE community are very knowledgeable and very welcoming. Dozens of hours of list making solo doesn't compare to just 1 thread of knowledge on this forum. Dont be shy, just do it.
On to the list...
1000 High Elf vs Lizardmen.
Result. Top of turn 4 HE victory, no lizardmen models left on the table. 8th edition rules. 4x3 table. Battle line scenario.
LM list. 24 spear n shield Saurus full command. 15 sword and board suarus full command, Lev 2 heavens skink with 4+ ward. Basiladon with the Lazer beam thing. 2 salamanders with extra crews.
Loremaster of Hoeth with armour or Caledor
280 points
15 archers w musician
160 points
5 Reavers w bows and musician
95 points
5 Dragon Princes w standard and musician
165 points
14 Phoenix Guard w standard and musician
230 points. Loremaster went here. 3x5 formation.
Eagle bolt thrower
Total: 1000 on the dot
That many points on a lord and him into my only melee unit was scary at first. But his good armour save and amazing signature spell tool belt was amazing. He killed the skink priest with death magic sniper spell. And then searing doomed the Basildon. Fireball and the 1S 1T spell was amazing too. I also got off the -1 to hit on the Saurus big block too, also dropping their WS too. A miscast would have wrecked my day though.
The dragon princes we're amazing against clearing the flank. And Reavers did their job oddly enough without taking a single loss. Archers as usual we're garbage. I need to stop bringing them and switch to silver helms (unless I need a mage bunker).
All in all, tabled the Lizardmen and only lost 6 PHX guard and 1 dragon princes.
Things to note:
Would have been nice to get the razor standard on the PHX Guard and or a few more bodies into the PG. I'll try and re do my 1250 list built around this list. Anything higher than 1250 I'll need to re work so a BSB can be added, and or a level 4.
Cheers for the help... and nice recommendations with the Dragon Princes. Although the LoreMaster was MVP the dragon princes handled an entire flank by themselves​. selves.
