Hey everyone I have a doubles tournement coming up next month and was hoping to get some advice on the list I have so far. The points limit is 1250 per player with no named characters and normal 8th edition magic. My friend plans on bringing his dwarfs and I will be bringing my high elves. First time going to one so I'm kind of excited and not sure what to expect! Here is my list so far.

LORDS

Loremaster of Hoeth with Book of Hoeth and Talisman of Preservation - 330pts

HEROES

BSB with Armour of Destiny and shield - 147pts

CORE

5 Ellyrion Reavers - 80pts

5 Ellyrion Reavers - 80pts

20 Spearman with full command - 210pts

SPECIAL

16 White LIons with full command and Standard of Discipline - 253pts

RARE

Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower - 70pts

Eagle Claw Bolt Thrower - 70pts

So this leaves me with 10pts to spend. I was debating between giving the Spearmen the Banner of Eternal flame or dropping a unit of reavers and bringing 10 more spearmen for a total of 30 to make a better anvil. However I'm unsure if that will leave me with enough chaff control units. This is also my first time playing a game under 2000pts so I'm unsure about how best to spend my points. Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts

Well, I would keep the Reavers because of them being Fas Cav and the way that they can shoot on the move. It may be worth giving the BoEF to the spearmen as you said as it may help them stay alive a bit longer. The rest of the list is fine, though. Loremaster is really cool because of using every signature spell from the eight lores and the BSB will do quite well as well. Bolt throwers are also good for providing covering fire or weakening units before yours engage. Oh, and which unit are your Loremaster and BSB in? Hope this helps

Sounds good to me! I'll just plan on giving the spearman the banner of eternal flame then. In regards to my BSB and loremaster I was planning on running them in the unit of white lions so my generals' inspiring presence would be ld 10. Thanks for the advice!

Ok, although it may be a bit risky having both your Lord and Hero in the same unit, but since the unit is strong anyway it'll probably work.
