Well, with the start of Waaagh!PACA this means my blog has been around
for a year. I must be stupid. Ok, now on to the post:
I decided that I was going to switch to High Elves for at least the
beginning of 2014. Due to that sale
back in October I’ve stocked up enough to finish any number of projects. But for now I’ve been enjoying the
movement control army, and based on the last Infernal Zoo, I’m also enjoying
the monster mash army. So I
decided to combine them (no surprise, this isn’t my first post). (NOTE: This post was written something like a month ago. Since then I've decided this list is pretty horrible and I will be playing Dark Elves come Adepticon/SAWS... after the hobby for those events I will be returning to my Chaos Dwarves).
Here is my list:
Here is my list:
Anointed of Asuryan, General, Flamespyre Phoenix, Charmed Shield,
Golden Crown of Atrazar, Star Lance, The Other Trickster’s Shard
Dragon Mage of Caledor, dragon armor, level 2 wizard (lore of fire),
enchanted shield, dispel scroll, relic blade, luckstone, potion of
foolhardiness
6 Ellyrian Reavers, musician, banner, spears, bows
6 Ellyrian Reavers, musician, banner, spears, bows

5 Ellyrian Reavers, musician, banner, spears

Flamespyre Phoenix
Flamespyre Phoenix
So simple army, and only 53 wounds. I decided to go with the weaker monsters because they work
well with my movement control. I
also think they work well in the environment which I will go into more when I
go over the rules for the event. The reavers are really there just because I have to have the
core. With half the shots of the
dark riders, and knowing how little dark riders do, I don’t expect them to do
much except kill chaff, warmachines and maybe do a little late game clean up
(and be mobile fortitude).
The characters are decked out to provide a little extra pop to their
monsters. I figure they won’t see
combat more than once or twice during each game. The lord is decked out to live through cannons while the
mount dies, given that if he dies first he can’t be reborn with the phoenix. Bad matchups may come down to hoping to
roll lots of 6s to come back to life… and with my experience with abominations
that’s a fairly pathetic hope.
What the phoenix will probably actually do is create little areas where
my reavers can’t run, so basically just hurting me ;).
My magic is basically nothing.
Yes I have a level 4 caster, but with only 2 spells and lore of
fire. For defense I have no wizard
and a dispel scroll, so it’s going to hurt. At least my initiative his high enough to risk allowing
things like sun and pit and my strength is high enough (or units small enough)
not to really worry about dwellers.
If I get lucky, I will only have to worry about a few low end magic
missiles.
Ogres are going to be the hard match up for this army, along with
probably chaos warriors and other high armor units. Tree wood elves could be fun, given that the phoenix are
magical flaming, even though they will have high toughness (yay, my army is
good enough to beat a low end army!).
I’m really just hoping to have a blast and 8 great games. Last year I went to win, got 14th
(should have been 5th but for paint points I disagree with), but
this year I’ll be happy with just having a great time.
