Drak: Lets definitely get a game in, it might a little hit and miss as I learn to use my fliers and diverters. I should be at game night next Sunday.

PourSpelur: I hadn't realized it, but that may be the origin. I attribute it to a poor memory.

Made a couple of adjustments based on the feedback, should have the rest of the models I need by next game night. Figured I should actually try this list out, but I think its a good compromise. Further feedback is always welcome.

Prince on Moon Dragon- Dragon armor, enchanted shield, ogre blade, gold crown

Heroes

Dragon Mage of Caledor- lvl2, dispel scroll, charmed shield

Noble (BSB)- elven steed with barding, dragon armor, shield, sword of might,  potion of foolhardiness, luckstone

I like 4 as well, the dread of resuming work and rushing home puts a damper on late gaming.

The skorne army has gone to a new home

Hey Herozero, Im still relatively new regarding the game and a babe when it comes to high elves. In response to your points:

1) I was under the impression that I couldn't have magic weapons with a magic banner, I'll have to look that up.

2) Could you provide some suggestions for a different build and more specifically getting the +2 strength bonus for cheaper. He's definately a work in progress, but I figured that a 2+ armor save, 4+ ward would be sufficient. Maybe the charmed shield for added security.

3) The lion chariots are built and ready to go, but maybe I'll trying proxying them as ellyrian chariots to get a better feel. Just seems like the lion chariot can dish out the hurt even after a charge.

4) That seems to be a common sentiment and wise as I'll need something speedy to hopefully take out warmachines. 

Thanks.Back to the drawing board, but I think that the essentials are there.

So I made a few revisions to the army based on feedback, and decided to go for the whole bob and weave approach, everything being mounted, flying, or generally easy to maneuver. My enemy deserves to eat those boltthrowers if they want to trudge across the field. Just for fun I used the swedish comp system to evaluate it, and if my calculations are correct it's a +10.8

Original post updated to reflect trades. Added two skorne lots and some excess high elves.

Some brilliant looking creatures coming down the pipeline from this kickstarter project:

(I had some difficulty with inserting the link, just go to youtube and type in "creature caster" if there's an issue, its worth it)

The high elves have retreated to their ivory towers, are cranking out Enya at full blast, and are focusing their attention on scrap-booking. Good game folks, thanks

I'll be there for tnt 

Count me in

The plague has passed, now just need to check-in with the everqueen (the wife) to see if I can play. I'll make a 1250 and 1500pt list today.

Post updated to reflect a few sales/trades and changes to wants list. I'd also consider purchasing some of the items for a reasonable price.

A few crafty players might even use said map to develop a campaign system. That would be swell.

Turns out that I have the flu, which I attribute to playing Nurgle warriors last weekend. See you folks next Sunday.

At this point I'm planning to attend, but will post tomorrow if I'm feeling crappy. Really want to try out a white lion chariot.

I was thinking something similar to last time (1250) if we had four players, or slightly higher if just three (1500). I'm tentative as well for this weekend, as I have a cough and sore throat which I'm hoping is attributed to my New Year's activities rather than a cold. Tomorrow will tell.

I'm planning to attend game night at WOW on Sunday, so if folks are down than the high elves will be there with bells on.

Thanks for the feedback guys,

MexicanNinja: Definitely considering a frost phoenix, but I'm not quite comfortable yet fielding that many large targets (2 dragons, 1 phoenix) with so few foot troops. I would certainly include one if bumping this list to 2800pts. I agree that SM are an expensive distraction for enemy shooting, but my limited experience so far has shown that shooting (apart from warmachines) is over-rated. Likely not the case when facing off against dark elves though. I'm willing to take a few black eyes (figuratively speaking) before figuring out a good combo. Another option may be to have a unit of phoenix guard marching across the board to tie up units.

Fixxer: Thanks, I'll certainly be learning to dance around the field. I'll definitely look into getting some eagles, I just don't trust my skill at using diverters yet and I feel vulnerable without two opportunities for shooting the big nasties. A recent game has shown that even the lowly bolt thrower can taken out a daemon prince.

The high elves have also made it a point that all spooky fortifications, bleeding chaos towers, and generally unwholesome hovels have flower boxes and white picket fences. That is all. Oh and all names must end in "eal" or "il". 

Those requests should prompt another triumph and treachery game.
