Either way I am going to have to get them finished before March 3rd if I am to take my High Elves, rather than my Dwarfs, down to Runefang V the first Wellington WHFB tournament of the year. At their last outing the list was restricted to 2000pts but increasing it to 2400 gives me some extra options, and I plan on trying something a little different. My current thinking is for the following:
High Elves @ 2400pts
Archmage Level 4 - 315pts (w. Phoenix Guard)
w. Silver Wand, Talisman of Preservation
Mage Level 2 - 135pts (w. Spears)
w. Dispel Scroll, Amulet of Light
Noble - 168pts (w. Spears)
w. Battle Standard, Great Weapon, Armour of Caledor, Guardian Phoenix
40 x Spears - 395pts
w. Full Command, Banner of Eternal Flame
14 x Archers - 159pts
w. Musician
12 x Archers - 137pts
w. Musician
14 x Phoenix Guard - 240pts
w. Full Command
28 x White Lions - 470pts
w. Full Command, Ironcurse Icon, Standard of Discipline
5 x Dragon Princes - 160pts
w. Musician
Tiranoc Chariot - 85pts
Tiranoc Chariot - 85pts
Great Eagle - 50pts
TOTAL 2,399 pts
This list is derived from a 2000pt list I used at Runefang IV last year. The list makes some significant changes to that which are:
- Inclusion of Lvl 2 Mage with that all important Dispel Scroll.
- 2nd Archer unit and loss of Archers Light Armour.
- P/Guard reduced from 24 to 14 and removal of Banner of Sorcery.
- W/Lions increase from 21 to 28 to become a stronger melee unit.
- Spears increase from 30 to 40 and get Banner of Eternal Flame rather than War Banner.
- Inclusion of the 2 Chariots.
Some Great Online Reading
Been finding some real gems online among the gaming blog community this week as well. The following posts in particular caught my eye:Basing Tutorial @ Noestes Painting and Modelling
A simple to follow and well illustrated tutorial on effective basing from a painter whose work I have admired for sometime now.
Making a display board @ The Magnificent Bastards
For starters this guy has one of the best, if not THE best, Dwarf army I have seen. Wonderfully themed and painted with some outstanding conversion work. This tutorial on the making of a display board for his army comes just as I begin my own planning for the same thing. If you want to see his outstanding Dwarf army then click here

Get a Book of Hoeth in there and scare the bejesus out of everyone
Dont like it leaves Mage unprotected and too vulnerable for something thats worth 400-500VP.
Can u keep a spot open for me at Runefang still working on getting "ahem" spousal approval to attend
your taking 7 Spells of magic yet not taking the banner of sorc? How come ?
I know I limited it 12 dice, but you are more likely to get 12 dice with the banner of sorc. Just my 2c :)
I'd was going to give it to the P/Guard but opted for the Eagle instead. But ill play test it first and see how it goes. Your right though the BoS would give me a higher prob of getting the dice I need
