i was just looking at the two and they both look good i am trying to pick one for the ard boys semi finials for my lizardmen i have a magic heavy list 3 eotg and a slann can you guys give me a little help on witch one to pick?
without seeing your list its kinda hard, id be temped to go for life, heals the stegs and soaks things that or metal, lots of big damage spells
Surely you only pick lores once you know what enemy you'll be facing? I personally like metal's spells a lot - against some foes such as WoC it's incredible but against others who have no armour it is almost useless. Light varies in use (VC and TK I guess), I would prefer to use shadow or death when facing armies who have little armour or war machines. Light should counter daemons but they seem to have a banner that makes using light suicide, though I don't know what it does (someone tell me please?)
I'm pretty sure it makes any light wizards miscast on doubles, in addition to them picking any lore in the game at the start of the battle and making it -2 (3?) to cast for the whole game. Very nasty banner. Anyway, yeah I would be changing lores depending on your opponent. If you have to pick 1 and stick with it, metal is a little bit more of an all round lore than light, light is a little bit limited. Though as an all round lore I would probably go for death, beast or fire instead of either of them.
