Gave this list an edit to include the Musicians and Dragon Princes.

Only thing is, I've got the points right on the Archmage using the new book.

See how that goes.

Oh boy. Guess I'll have to rework some things. I think what I will do is try a few games with both the sword masters in and some with the white lions in. Looks like I'll have to get rid of the white lions for now and replace then with the dragon princes like you suggested. I completely forgot about ...

Ok, after deliberating and being mainly confused over the new book as a new player, I decided to hammer out a list with what I've got to at least get a feel for the army. It's going to be all infantry, because the only cavalry I have is 5 Dragon Princes(I have 10 Reavers but they aren't together and...

What is it about Reavers that everyone wants to include them?

Just the ability to get a step up with the extra move and march block/feint, ect?

*Edit: Looks like someone also asked ^

Silver Helms are core, if anyone hasn't noticed or said anything.

Interesting. I took a look over the Heavens Lore and there are some pretty nice spells. Did not notice that before. I'll have to give that a shot! I wish I could take another Mage, it's so hard to make a High Elf list under 2000ish points, but at that big of a game I may just get too overwhelmed at ...

Hi, I could use some advice, as I threw together a quick list to get back into the swing of things and gain some more experience. I played a few games over a year ago, and what I remember is that I got out shot pretty badly and had to react to my opponents, and my magic phases were somewhat poor. An...

So, here I am, all ready to get back into playing Warhammer, and my High Elves after more than a years break. Moved to a big city, should be lots of gamers... And now they are retooling the army! I've got a playable list anywhere from 1000-2000points, but now I don't know what to do! I'm guessing I ...

Noted on the Eagles, I'd really like to get them in sometime soon, but that's one thing I need to buy first. I have the RBT already, so I'm going to give it a shot and see how I like it. I might possibly be able to proxy something for an eagle or two though, I'll have to think about it. As for the c...

Hey everyone. After my first two games I got a feel for High Elves and the guys I'll be playing against at the local store, and they are more or less guys that want to win. So I'm trying to put a list together for next Saturday at 2000 points that can put out some hurt, and I'm going to take The Boo...

Nice write up, I agree with all of it and am considering swapping my standard 50% spears 2 units archers core set up to all archers with one horde and support units. I ran an archer horde at 1500 points recently with a fire archmage and reaver bsb (playing for fun right...) Except that archer horde...

I think I'm going to give this a try in my next game, at 2000 points. 30 Archers in a horde, and another unit of 12, with 1 RBT. Should be enough shooting for the points level. The write up certainly helped, although you suggest small units(around 10) but I think I might try with 14-18 Lions and Swo...

Wanted to get some opinions from more veteran gamers. High Elves seem so fragile and weak, as far as taking damage goes... So what are the pros and cons of taking large vs small units(specifically elites)? I see that a lot of successful guys around here, like Seredain use smaller units in conjunctio...

I'm not sure where the balance is between what is a good amount of shooting and what is too much. I picked up a RBT and was planning on getting another. Not sure I'd use them both in under 2k point games, but it seems worth it to me to take two in higher. I'm also not sure on the amount of archers, ...

Hey, just wanted to say, after my first two games I really see the value in adding a Bolt Thrower or two and have 25-30 archers. Seems like it gives so much more tactical flexibility than not having it. You also don't need to rely on a mage to cast magic missiles, even though they always hit. This w...

Hey, seeing as this was a wall of text, I edited it down so people don't need to read through a bunch of nonsense, sticking to tactical aspects. Hope this helps garner some responses. :D First game was against Dwarves, not a great match up, and I decided to go up to 1500 points, even though my list ...

Hey guys, going to make a post over in the tactics forum, because I obviously need some help!

Hey, thanks for the encouragement! Heading out in about half an hour to go play, should be fun! My friend(who I should be playing against but his TK's aren't ready) is tagging along so we can both learn. Like I said, I'm not a complete rookie to tabletop gaming, but reading some bat reps around here...

Alright! I can, if I choose, play my first Fantasy game tomorrow, at 1250 points barring that I finish off two White Lions tonight. What I'm going to be taking is an Archmage(Life), 25 Spears, 10 Archers, 14 Sword Masters, 10 White Lions, and 5 Dragon Princes. I'll admit I'm a little nervous, becaus...

No good eh? I thought the small units of Sword Masters might work out. I'll probably keep the backbone of the list in the PG, Lions, and Spearelves, just not sure exactly how to fill out the rest. Also, dabber, I'm not sure why it would be bad having both the PG and WL and how is around 20 to small ...

Hey there, back after having to take a little time off for work, and was tossing around this idea for an army list. Big blocks to hold the lines combined with small deadly units of Sword Masters to hit flanks... Archmage(Shadow) Folarith's Robe Talisman of Saphery Silver Wand 350 points Bsb Regular ...

Hey, just putting together some new plastic White Lions and I have to say I really love these models. The Phoenix Guard were a pain to put together and are 'meh' in my opinion. The IoB Sword Masters are great too, but I think the Lions take the cake for me. Cool shoulder pads, Lion pelts, big axes.....

I'm rolling a similar list for 1500 points, and I don't think it's necessarily 'filthy'. Getting the BoH would make it mean though, for sure. You'd have to drop the Eagle, and a Command or two. With Shadow, people here will probably tell you to run with Lions over Sword Masters, but I don't have the...

Hey thanks. I'll Do what it takes to get one eagle in the list and get rid of the drakemster.

For the Phoenix Guard will fifteen be enough in this size of game?

Feels like I'm so low on troops.

Hey everyone, wanted to run a 1500 point list by you guys instead of the 1250 I posted the other week. This is just a main list to work with onward up to 2500-3000 points, and keep in mind I haven't played my first game yet, but will be soon. Archmage Level 4 Silver Wand 270 Points BsB Noble Regular...

I've been thinking about an infantry list with two big blocks of Specials, as in 20-25, and I can't help but think a 20-25 strong unit of Phoenix Guard depending on the points size, and something along the lines of 18-21 White Lions would go great together. I was originally thinking two units of PG,...

Hey guys, and Curu. Was very interested to see all of your opinions on Phoenix Guard and how well they synergize with Shadow. Not to derail, but I need to ask you pros, is it possible to play a competitive list focusing on Phoenix Guard and Shadow magic? I'm considering something like two units of 2...

Hey thanks for the replies. When designing the list I had in mind for each unit to have a purpose. The Mage(s) were for tipping the scales my way and helping to keep my opponents magic phase in check. Noble, if included, was to give the Dragons a real punch. The Spears were to be a decent anvil and ...

Hey everyone! It looks like my very first game of WHFB will be coming up soon, hopefully next weekend, June 11th, and I need some good advice so I don't look like a complete and utter newb! :oops: Anyway, I've been reading a lot here and have taken it all in to make my first 1250 point High Elf list...

Hey, a good idea, although personally I'd change it up a bit. What I'm thinking of running in a 1250 game(so 312 points on Hero's) is: 5 Dragon Princes Drakemaster with Potion of Strength Noble with Enchanted Shield, Dawnstone, Talisman of Loec, Great Weapon, Elven Steed with Barding (160 points). I...
