8th Edition 1000 point list vs. High Elves
Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2017 8:47 pm
Hi all
I'm back to the hobby after a short 5 year break . I wasn't a very experienced player when I left, but the lure of WFB has drawn me back (Alas it is gone now). I'm busy strategising about an upcoming (very) casual series of games against High Elves and possibly Skaven. I've put together this 1000 point list specifically against the HE and would thoroughly appreciate any wise words on it.
Heroes:
Sorceress (life):
Level 2
Dispel Scroll
140
Core:
15 Darkshards
FC
Banner of eternal flames
220
15 Corsairs:
FC
AHW
195
Special:
5 shades
80
5 Shades
80
20 Executioners
FC
Banner of Swiftness
285
Total:
1 000
My concerns with the current setup are: lack of mobility, however my opponent regularly fills his entire core allowance with archers so I think a block of 4+ save corsairs may be necessary? I've also chosen life to try and buff up an units decimated by those damn longbows. Perhaps I should drop the Banner of Eternal Flames just in case he brings those damn Dragon Princes? I guess that the Lichebone Pennant would be a reasonable substitute? My hope is to get the block of execs into one of his flanks ASAP and try to block their line of sight from the archers using the corsairs. I suspect that he'll be bringing a bus of Dragon Princes or maybe Phoenix Guard (Maybe even both) so I think that the execs are preferable over Black Guard because I may need some Dragon Prince can openers? If I am able, I will try suicide charge a unit of shades (hopefully deployed close-by) into his archer block to try and disrupt any sorcery or shooting.
I look forward to engaging more with the community in the weeks to come!
