2400 High Elves vs Tomb Kings
Posted: Tue May 08, 2018 7:49 am
Had a fun 2400pts battle vs TK yesterday.
I decided to go for something completely different and to pick some of the more underpowered and less used units from the HE book. I know I can win with a PG block centrally in my line supported by some hard hitting units around it. But there's other fun stuff in the HE. And though I didn't know I would be facing TK when I made the list, TK are a nice army to bring fun choices against, since they're not the strongest of armies anyway. My list was;
Lords
Archmage, High magic
Level 4, scroll, talisman of endurance, ironcurse icon
Heros
BSB
Barded steed, Heavy armour, enchanted shield, sword of might, dawnstone
Dragon mage
Level 2, dragon armour, charmed shield, starlance, luckstone
Core
22 archers, full command
10 Silver helms, full command
5 reavers, musician
Special
15 Swordmasters, full command, gleaming pennant
Lion chariot
Rare
Flamespire phoenix
2 RBT
10 sisters of Averlorn
Great eagle
Thoughts? Comments?
From memory, the TK list was:
Lords
Tomb King, 4+ armour save, 4+ ward
Lvl 4 Mage (Hierophant)
Heros
Ramhotep the visionary (I think he's a hero at least)
Core
40 skeletons, hand weapon, shield (give or take a few)
13 archers
13 archers
15 horsemen
Special
30 Tomb guard
3 necropolis knights
Warsphinx
Rare
Necrosphinx
Casket of souls
