This is my go at a themed HE army 2250pts. Critique is welcome.


Leaders of Tor Achare

Arch mage Taerael (the wizard prince of Tor Achare) lvl 4 + book of hoeth w. lore of shadow

30 white lions (protectors of the high council, wardens of the Sorcery banner of Saphery) full command + skeinsliver + banner of sorcery

Mage Ilrian (head of the high council of Tor Achare) lvl 2 + annulian crystal w. high magic

Noble Lianda (bearer of the world dragon, standard of Tor Achare) heavy armor + great weapon+ bsb banner of the world dragon


The cityguard of Tor Achare

10 Archers (guardians of the white gate) standard + musician

10 archers (deadeyes of Cothique) standard + musician

10 archers (deadeyes of Chrace) standard + musician

42 spearmen (watchers of the phoenix tower) full command

2 repeater bolt throwers (reapers of the phoenix tower)

I haven't played a game in 8th ed yet, but I would consider dropping the banners and musicians from your archers and use the points elsewhere. In a unit of 10 archers you can already put them in a 2x5 set up and both ranks can shoot. So, you wouldn't really need the musician to quick reform. The standards will probably be lost and count as victory points against you since 10 archers probably won't hold up well in CC.

Also, you may want to consider dropping the level 2 mage and if you have the points I'd add Caradryan to your white lions. He'll give them all a 4+ ward save against wounds caused from spells. He also causes fear, so any unit that charges the white lions and is in base to base contact with him will have to test for fear. And he's good in CC. And he is a great body guard for mages.

However, if that's what you want, go for it. I like the idea of a themed army with citizen soldiers. I am working on a list myself that has mainly core units.

Good luck!

Maybe drop a Bolt thrower for some eagles. Need some fast options in there.

I like the theme that your going for. I'd second DarkAngels advice about removing the command from the Archer units. Their just not worth it.

I'd then just use the saved points to toss a couple spear elves into the giant block.

I love fluffy lists. Looks good to me.
