Wow, that's a pretty spectacular list. Was there any comp that influenced it maybe?
an interesting variation on my usual playstyle, which is 'charge forward, forward for the love of khaine, we can fight better than any of them and they can't shoot into melee why is our armor so thin ohgodcannons'

What's the general split in the tournament though? It's less impressive most of the event took these armies.

You see, neither brets nor chaos can a) take fanatics or b) heal the ludicrous amount of damage done by fanatics .-.

Hey Axiem,

Thanks for keeping us up to date with all of the HE results and lists around the world! I was looking at this list initially thinking "gee that looks very similar to the list I took to a tournament recently" :lol:
The Double Star Dragon list certainly has a point and click aspect to it, but it was good fun regardless. I had to Versus 2 x Mort Cults and 1 double Viletide list, so there was plenty of sweating on trying to keep both Dragons alive. A lot of the make up of this list came down to what I actually had painted in time for the tournament, Though I would love to swap some things out. I would fill core with some archer darts and now with the new AJ fit the SHs with RoF. I would then swap out all my rare for Sisters and Sky Cutter(s).

Very interesting list, not my playstyle but I can see how it would work well. I love cloak of beards on the dragon princes I've found it to be a really strong combo. The reavers are an interesting unit, high utility but expensive for what they are and with limited targets, very cool though. 6 swordmasters are intriguing, a scary if expensive redirector. I'd be interested to see how successful the tricksters pendant was, seems a strong item but realistically needs to go on a second caster. Good to see High Elves winning in a really interesting tournament pack, especially as it's one that heavily rewards core units which are our biggest weakness.

I spoke to Charlie briefly about how he got on with the Trickster’s Shard. He said it was invaluable, especially in one matchup where it shut down a whole magic phase for a Necromancer and meant the VC player was neutered for a turn. Seems like it could be really decent.

It's very similar to what I'm running now as my main list. I still rate the Warden of Saphery Prince with Reaver Bow + 2x Potion of Strength above the Banner of Confidence BSB, but that's personal preference. The extra points is enough for him to get more Dragon Princes than I'm currently bringing though.

Nice to see, and great result -- are you planning on having him on your channel? Would love to hear about his matchups.

I can see that happening. With how spammy magic can be, it potentially lets you dispell 4 spells instead of just the one. Still a risk/reward item, but since you know your opponent's roll, you can estimate the risk reasonably well. I agree that it's more likely to show up on a second mage, but it definitely deserves a look if you're facing a magic heavy opponent.

If it wasn't for the opportunity cost of not taking silvery wand or lore familiar i think it would be an autopick in any list - I'm kind of glad it isn't. I've not yet taken it except once on a level 2 (total mistake, terrible plan - forgot about the smaller dispell bubble) but it's been an agonising choice every time, and I've had a couple 3xlvl4 enemies where i regretted it.

Might rethink this and bang it on an illusion mage - 3 A tier spells (so guaranteed one) and a solid signature, and you already need to push forward

Going to try it on a high lvl 4 on high magic where they're the single caster, but with lots of bound spells in the list. It's a bit risky, but maybe it will prove worth it, in a balanced list all of the high magic spells have their use, and potentially shutting down a turn 3 magic phase could be game winning, or as was pointed out vs undead it could pretty much break their army. That one extra spell from silver wand hasn't proved all that useful in my experience so far tbh. I don't think I would run it with another lore though, which have stand out spells you really can build a list around (TMP..). Walk between worlds I guess is the one that it is possible to do so.

Yeah I've already been mostly opting for the lore familiar over the Wand already. Being able to guarantee you have a specific spell let's you build around it: whenever I've had 5 spells 1 is always not really seeing much use.

What I've actually been pondering is an archmage with the tricksters backed by a stormweaver with lore familiar with dark or Elementalism focused on support spells... this conversation has convinced me to find a way to fit it in

Issue with the second caster with trickster is unless they're a level 4 it's a real gamble with the spells. Dark Magic is great IF you get the right spells. I wonder if kitting up a loremaster noble BSB as a caddy for it isn't the worst idea, although the shorter dispel range and on foot, and paper defence is another issue...

That's why I'm thinking of the tricksters on the archmage and lore familiar on the stormweaver - guarantee the right spells and allows the sw to stay out of dispell range if needed

Main problem with the trickster's pendant on a lvl1 is simply the fact that you need to actually get the dispell value to pervent the caster from casting further that turn. Rule of thumb for me is that rolling an extra D6 and removing the lowest is about equivalent to an extra +2 on the roll on average. If you're up against a lvl4, then on average, you will be 2 short and still not dispell the spell. You get +1, +2 to your roll, while he get's +4 and a dispell needs to beat the roll not meet it, so that's an extra +1 you need.

So it's (on average) a waste of points on a lvl1. It needs to be on a lvl3 minimum for it to be worth it. Even without range issues etc, which can all be solved.

This is a good point. I've been playing with lists for an upcoming game, what occurs to me is in a defensive list, when you're aiming to absorb charges then counter tricksters pendant is an amazing item, has you can potentially shut down that turn 3 magic phase when they're setting up their charges. However, in a more aggressive list, which in this edition I actually think we're perhaps better at, especially with ring of fury spam, the silver wand with high magic is perhaps better, as our focus is more on getting our spells off rather than defence, and a lvl 4 with silver wand and ruby ring can sit back and throw out a ton of spells.

The most difficult part of our list building stays the same, where do you put the lvl 4? I really struggle with this, on paper having them sit back in a sisters unit is quite good, but the short ranges of spells conflicts with the sisters' range. Putting them in a combat unit with warden of saphery and walk between worlds seems very efficient, but they're potentially vulnerable, can't cast or dispel much if locked in combat, and also quite limited with line of sight. Practically I've found having them in a unit of skirmishing reavers to be the most easy to use....but then that wizard is a really expensive unit. I'm tempted to try it with the reavers, but beef up the reavers with a champ and ring of fury, if you get corporeal unmaking too they can be a unit that flank charges something turn 5 or 6 to turn a combat as well as a bunker.

I've had the same struggle. Most spells are too short range to be useful in a traditional bunker. However, a T3, WS4, W3 will not last long in any kind of combat, so you can't really put him there either. Two thoughts. Firstly, it feels like they originally intended our mages to take Warden of Saphery, and then combined with Ithilmar armour he could go in a combat unit. However, that was dropped during playtesting (which has left us with the pretty useless Ithilmar Armour rule). Or, they meant for our mages to run around outside units, but protected from shooting by being within 3'' of our units. Fury of Khaine is a very strong spell (in an edition where most units top out at 1 attack per file), and Vaul's Unmaking would be game breaking if it had 24'' range. So it feels like our mages were intended to be fairly offensive. I'm just not sure how.

Maybe having him with the Shadow Stalker honour in a unit of SW is an option. Though that also feels risky. But at least not being able to take heavy or plate armour isn't a downside here...

Seaguard are my go-to unit for the archmage (and why I am grumpy about the stormweaver). It's a combat-capable unit, can be close to the front and support well without needing to actually be IN combat. With static res and S&S they have a decent chance of monster-riders bouncing off them if you feed the dragon a champion, and if you take Veteran you can hold from won combats nicely allowing you to cast/dispel in the following start of turn. Just keep a heavy-hitter nearby in case they need support on round 2 of combat.

Just noticed that across in US there was a 2-day event (https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/toouVqp5QtuN) where all of the Top 5 (!) were High Elves! :lol: In fact, there was only one other High Elf player at the event and he finished closer to the middle of the pack.

Love to see a more "traditional" HE list showing up, with a big block of Swords and even some Lions in there! Fantastic!

...and two Chracian lists! Love to see the variety, and with Korhil in each to boot! I quite like the list from Brian, similar to what I have on paper, but I have yet to play the Woodsmen list.

Kind regards,

Pretty strong Ulthuan domination right there =D>

That's crazy! What's especially odd is most of those aren't very hard lists, in fact I'd call a few of them pretty soft, at least by what's being taken in the UK. Was this quite a beginner friendly tournament?

I’m not sure. I have to inside knowledge of the event, merely stumbled upon in while on Old World Rankings and thought it was interesting.
Other than Eric Hung, I don’t recognise any of the names, so I suspect they are not online players. Given what the top HE lists took, I’d say it might have been a more friendly event but who knows, maybe it was a hard-fought High Elf civil war. The end results certainly were very close!

Hi all, yes this was a more local tourney -

No Mort Cults, only one heroism duke, no vamp screams, only one WoC with double spawn (and he ran chosen knights and warriors in core) means HE had a lot of room to run around. Essentially me n Ivan camped the top tables until I threw game 3 against him because I got greedy, and then he played excellently to win the tourney :). He’s also part of our Delihammer crew in Hayward.

I got lucky in my last game, had the enemy dragon roll a flee after my hw did a singular wound. Was quite a swing.

David did very well to extract as much BP from the middle tables as he could and was able to snatch best general - I literally lost it by one.

Interesting to have the Razor Banner on the block of 20 SM. Most people probably would not opt for this, but it gives some extra bite against units not affected by cleaving blow.
