Re: The Host of Tor Elithis - Campaigning in the Border Princes

Nicely done! I'm glad the battle went your way. It's inevitable we forget rules and such when playing but if you'd been back any further it would have made charges for you more difficult anyways. That is certainly true. I wonder, however, if I maybe should have fled with the Silverhelms instead of ...

I think you have a really good shot at defeating him. I can't wait to read the Battrep in your threat!

Re: Rules you’d like to see changed/tweaked

I forgot about one more thing. Remove first charge rule. Regards I'm not as opposed to this rule since CR typically leads to either fall back in good order or giving ground, especially with HE relatively good leadership. If a cavalry rule needs to be taken away it's Counter charge. I understand the...

Re: 1650 Points against TK

Blazing Banner would work well against most of his units. I would be careful charging his chariots if he puts a Prince or a King with them as I'm sure you are aware.

Re: 1650 Points against TK

I think the list is solid except the short bows, I don't think they would give you much use and it's points you could allocate to something else like shields or other banners some such. Otherwise I think it's very solid.

Re: Rules you’d like to see changed/tweaked

I think magic needs to be changed. Having to be required to take a level 4 wizard just to be competative is dumb to me. I hate that I pay 100-200 points from characters just to have a "neutral" magic game.

Re: Old Prince returning

Welcome! It's not a bad list if you're going for fun. It does something in all phases of the game and doesn't have any of the overpowered choices. After all, Stardragons are great and fun, but they can be hard to deal with if you don't have a list that can handle them. A few observations, I persona...

Looking for spare models

Greetings everyone. I'm restarting my High Elf collection and am interested in any miniatures folks might have they are willing to part with at a reasonable price. Please DM me if you have something, at this point I only have two foot mages and a mounted mage so the doors are wide open!

Thanks

Alex

Re: Odd Thoughts

I did read your post and I understand where you're coming from. And in my very fast Empire list I threw together I was able to fit in 2 Veteran blob units for tarpitting your dragons. Don't be upset because I'm trying to point out a list I've seen multiple times at small tournaments (mostly dwarves)...

Re: 2k Throne of Skulls comp, standards needed.

Are banners in units essential for Throne of Skulls? Because otherwise I'd second guess having banners in your Reavers. Otherwise I think it's a great list with lots of damage and FAST. I think you'll do really well.

Re: Odd Thoughts

The lists I've seen is multiple small units of 5-7 if Wood Elves or 10 if Dwarves or Empire. You only have 8 drops, these other lists would have 10+ drops (I made a quick list of 11 drops with 60 points left for another unit). This list included 2 cannons, 2 Hellblasters, 7 hockland long rifles, and...

Old Prince returning

Hail and harty! I am a returning HE player from ages past, got back into TOW as soon as it dropped with Bretonnians as I collected my Ogres back up (my army I like to play just for fun/bashing) but now I've sold my Brets so I could build my real love; High Elves! I haven't bought anything yet except...

Re: Odd Thoughts

Think this list would struggle against massed gun line armies like Wood Elves, Dwarves, and Empire. The small units would melt under the shooting and you've got so much tied into HQ they could bait them around and pick your army apart.

Re: Fire Mage Army List 2k

That's a lot of fireballs! I wonder how your opponent felt about all the magic? Did they have as many magic users to help counter? In my meta we typically only see a single level 4 mage, sometimes accompanied by a level 2. With as many users as you have it would have been a good spread of magic acro...
