North Star – Preparation


This will be my last event with the old Dark Elf book.  I hope I can end on a rise.  2012 was my first North Star and I had a blast, walking away with Top Skaven.  I’m not bringing the skaven back in the list, but I am in spirit.  The event is a weird amount at 2200.  I feel like I have my 2500 point list well worked out, as well as my 2000 point list but found myself struggling for the balance of the in between.

Continuing my experimentation with not using Tome of Furion, this list sees me taking the power stone.  I tried to drop the level 2 on the metal wizard, but couldn’t squeeze out enough other points to actually take something else I wanted to take, so it ended up staying.


Supreme Sorceress, General, Level 4, Lore of Death, Lifetaker, Pendant of Khaeleth, Power Stone, Dark Pegasus

Sorceress, Level 2, Lore of Metal, Dispel Scroll, Dark Pegasus
Master, BSB, Heavy Armor, Sea Dragon Cloak, Repeater Crossbow, Black Dragon Egg, Charmed Shield, Dragonbane Gem, Warrior Bane, Dark Pegasus

Assassin, extra hand weapon, rending stars, manbane

6 Dark Riders, repeater crossbows, musician, standard bearer

I can’t say I’m 100% happy with this list.  I fear I am really going to miss the second assassin for putting out the higher strength shots.  Unfortunately, the only way to get access to an assassin is with another unit, and I couldn’t scrounge the points for a second unit of shades – or the units would be too small to be effective.  You may recall that in some of my early practice I used 5 or 6 man shade units.  They die too quickly and often before I could get a chance to reveal the assassin within.  We’ll see how it goes.
