Sean and I have been teaming up for over a year now.  We have always gone dark elf and lizards despite the penalty we take during the magic phase.  This year’s Adepticon dropped the lists by 200 points a side but allowed for a single lord.  This mix up, combined with the new dark elf and lizardman books saw us doing some restructuring, though Sean’s list ended up fairly close.  We were both limited by what we were bringing for the 2400 event.  My list, seems to be pulled from the part of the list that wasn’t pulled for my 1000 point list.  This is in part due to the list restrictions Imposed by Adepticon.  Sean wanted to take the dawnstone on his general, which meant that I couldn’t take it on mine.  So I decided to go for the multi-wound character instead of the strength character and compensate by taking a lance on the master.

Unlike the 1000 point singles event, I expect to see more level 4s.  At only 1000 points, a level 4 caster is a good amount of points and leaves holes.  At 2000 points, a level 4 only leaves holes in one contingent, allowing the second contingent to build to fill those holes.  Therefore, I felt that both spirit leech and a dispel scroll were worth the investment.  This cost me a both thrower and the magic items on the master (along with a doomfire warlock, which is fine as the caster will take its place in the unit).

Like last year, I’m sure Sean’s army will end up taking the brunt of the enemy as mine works its way around and gets into the hot, point scoring positions.  We’ll see how it goes, I think Sean has only played 3 games since last year’s adepticon, but at least those 3 games where with the new book.  I also will have played 3 games with this book, the day before in the 1000 point event.


But hey, at least after this event I’ll have 6 games with the new book for my 5 game event.
