Will they be taking teclis or book of hoeth?

High elves are extremely difficult to beat if they bring the right stuff, etc dragon princes that are immune to fire attacks and book of hoeth.

To be honest I play both armies and I was playing High elves in a tournament awhile back, my dragon princes got locked up with his destroyer and I pretty much got a free 325 points. Do you have any idea what they are bringing?

Just noticed you were not bringing any K’daai so thats a plus for you. But watch out for Lore of Shadow because that will royally ruin your day.

I have no idea what he is bringing but he said that he will beat me so bad my mum will cry. :)

I may find out what it is like to come up against a dragon. Who knows.

Why? High elves have no multiwound models except eagles for ashstorm to make flammable, nor do they have any regenerators. Also you're just asking for a small unit of dragon princes to flank charge your big unit and hold it up all game. I'd drop the banner for lichebone pennant.

Other than that, maybe swap a unit of fireglaives for another deathshrieker? T3 infantry love big templates.

I had the game tonight. It was a tough one. More on it when I get home tomorrow - it’s 1am here now :frowning:

The high Elves took a Lvl 3 with Death and a Lvl 1 with Beasts

End score was 1683 to 1207 - Chaos Dwarves the victors

More tomorrow…

Night all.
