Hi all,

I want to precise that we are playing a system a little bit restrictiv : Combat 8.1 (PDF in english here : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/110 ... nglish.pdf)


Shadow List:

I am not really sure of this list, the dragon princes are here to flank, the great eagles too and as rederector
Should I trade the GE for 2 RBT ?
I'm thinking about to play the PG with rank of 7
Shadow magic is here to debuff or buff =D

You know that your mage will end up in the front rank of the SHs and is exposed to CC attacks right? I would try and get him in the 2nd rank if possible.

I'm also not a fan of some of your character kit. I don't really see the dragonhelm or the golden crown making either of your lords that much more survivable. Dragon Princes are also very expensive with all the command.

Hi ! thank you for you're answer =)

Do you mean it for the lvl1 Mage or for the lvl2 Mage ?

For the lvl1 I know, but this is the only thing I can do to grant a 6+ Ward thanks the High Magic spell, I don't think if its a good idea either...

For the lvl4 the problem is that I can only put 3 Character per Units and I want to play my PG in rank of 7 to maximise the offensive power =)

Dragonhelm was only mean to grant +1 Save and a 2+ against fire => I will change it =)

For the Archmage I want he to be able to survive in CC this is why I found the Combo Fencer's Blade + Golden crown not bad, its like an other Life Point, but I would be happy to know a better way to make him survivable ! => Could a 4+ Ward Save be better than a WS10, 6+ Ward Save, + Golden Crown ?
Is it better when I put my Archmage in a unit of Archer/Seeguards) wich will follow the PG, and then put on him a 4+ Ward...

I updated my list, and replaced the eagles and the Dragon Princes, I don't know if my list is better like that:

Anointed 295 Pts: => in PG
Enchanted Shield
Poion of Strengh
Sword of Bloodshed

Archmage 320 Pts: => in PG
Sadow Lvl4
BoH
Golden Crown of Atrazar
Fencer's Blades

Mage 150 Pts: => in Silver Helms
Beast Lvl1 (signaturespell)
Ilthimar Barded Elven Steed
Khaine's Ring of Fury
Dispel Scroll

Noble 159 Pts: => in Silver Helms
BSB
Dragon Armour
Halberd
Ilthimar Barded Elven Steed
Star Lance
Luckstone
Shield

Core 634 Pts:
2x 5 Ellyrian Reavers 2x105Pts
Bow and Spear + Musician

17 Silver Helms 421 Pts:
Champ, Musician, Standard

Special and Rare:
23 PG 420P Pts:
Champ, Musician, Standard (Razor standard)

Frostheart Phoenix 240Pts

2x RBT 2x70 Pts

10 Sisters of Averlorn 140 Pts


Is it better when I put the sisters in 2x5 rather than 1x10 ? And with a Champion each time ?
