im soon to be starting a High Elves army based around the shadowlands. Just thought id put up my current army list and get some ideas from some other people

High Elf Noble-145pts
Shadow Armour
Guardian pheonix
Longbow

3 x 10 Archers-145pts each
Light Armour
Full Command

2 x 5 Ellyrian Reavers-133pts each
Bows
Full command

2 x 10 Shadow Warriors-172pts each
Shadow Walker

1 x 5 Shadow Warriors-92pts

2 x Repeater Bolt Throwers-100pts each

Total=1482pts

So thats the army. and hints welcome.

How many points are you going for?

Also I would consider getting at least 1 mage in that list as you will need the magic defense.

Question: what kind of armies would you be facing?

The 3rd unit of archers seems a bit much. Maybe consider dropping it to get something a bit more close-combat capable? I can see that you're focusing on shooting, but I can't really see this list being able to hold off very many units that may manage to get into Close Combat with you. Striking with S3 for the most part, and having few numbers with at best a 5+ save isn't really going to hold against much.

At the very least, I would suggest you drop the command from the archers (maybe keep the musician to help with any rallying) and do as Negativemoney suggests and pick up a mage. Curse of Arrow Attraction could be really deadly with this list. Maybe also drop the command on the reavers - from my experience, they shouldn't be getting into close combat, and they're easy to take down, so keeping them cheap and stream-lined is optimal.

im trying to get a 1500 pt army together. i will mainly be facing my friend who uses vampire counts, wood elves or his own high elves(which is how i got the idea of collecting a shadowlands army).not too bothered about making it a tourni army cuz i got daemons for that , And how could i possibly forget about having a mage lol my friend would kill me in the magic phases.
