Which is better? My local scene plays real Warhammer, so no special exceptions of comps. Our point levels are 2000, 2400, and 3000. In the opinions of this august body of erudite lizard-lovers, is it better to go toward magic offense (Tetto) or defense (priest with Cube) at 2000?
Both? It's only 270pts... Personally I'd go with Tetto, in smaller games with fewer units you can vanguard a higher proportion of your army, this means you are into combat and out of danger from most magic earlier in the game, also Loremaster means you can always cast the spells giving you best value for dice, while leaving your opponent constantly hoarding dice against comet/chain lightning which makes casting the magic missile and hexes easier. Also the reroll on comet means you can use it more aggressively, placing it on a flank to protect it as they advance (not much will risk moving through that area) and making sure it detonates before hitting your fellas
