I know a few of you guys out there play High Elves so I got an interesting tourney for you to think about. 2600 points, Within that point total you can have an allied army group that contains 1 Hero 1+ Core, 0-1 Special, 0-1 Rare Any suggestions on what you'd stick in there? Example: 10 Archers + Flaming 1 Beast Mage 30 White Lions + Swiftness 1 Eagle They would spend from the %'s of the 2600 points categories
Not sure I'd take the High Elf Mage at all. Why take power dice away from your Slann? If I were to take him, it would be more for the Annulian Crystal than his casting ability. I might go for Shadow as well, since Miasma can reach anywhere. Or Metal, since Seering Doom is worth 6-dice against the right target. Archers should have a musician so they can swift reform and shoot. If you are springing for the flame banner, I would spring for a few more archers as well. 10 averages less than 1 wound a phase on an Abomination, so most of the time the flaming banner is doing nothing. I'd say go to 14+ or just leave them at 115 points. Swiftness on a White lion horde is cool, but do they need it? As with the Mage, why not take Banner of Sorcery and power your Slann? Probably worth giving the champion a magic item as well. Amulet of Light (magical attacks) is handy, as is Skeinsliver (+1 to go first). Just don't waste a weapon or save on him.
Some great points in there. Banner of Sorc on the WL great idea. Rather than a mage I could use Korhil or Caladryn (I have both models) I think Caladryn for the MR would be best but Korhil certianly makes more sense as the commander the allied army. I want to minimize my core cause I'm spending a ton in speciall on WL and TG so 10 archers with mu sounds straight forward. I put some thought into a lvl 1 metal though. We do have a ridiculous meta for 1+ armour saves, and two unkillable dreadlords.
