I dont understand the question

I think he's asking which army has the best magic. I haven't played enough to list pros and cons, but I know some of the best are High Elves (see Teclis), Lizardmen (Slann), Skaven, Daemons (Kairos is a bro).

Thanks Justus! that what I ment which army has the best magic

Well, right now I know while building orc lists, I can fit a whooooole lots of goblin and orc spell casters into my list. They seem to be cheaper than any other army (save for maybe empire)

Tomb Kings and maybe Ogre Gutt Magic. Skaven magics too.

Most of the other race-based magics aren't quite as good as the BRB ones because they don't have the extra spell, forget what you call it. Focus?

High Magic is awesome. Combine with the fact that HE mages are awesome and you get awesomeness squared.

HE magic and mages are awesome but the WOC magic and mages are on another level

High magic is very useful in a supportive kinda way, If you have a shooty army then curse of arrow attraction is very nice. Vauls unmaking is handy for destroying magic banners and horrible magic items, and casting flames of the pheonix on a horde is a sure way to have your oponent scrabbling for all the dispel dice he can hold. Shield of Saphery is a 5+ ward save for a unit and courage of Aenarion makes a unit stubborn for a turn Fury ok Khaine is the weakest spell choice IMHO its 2d6 s4 hits which is ok as it casts on 8+ but there are just better choices. Not to mention that ALL HE mages get +1 to dispel built in and have the additional spell Drain magic (+3 to all casting rolls until casters next magic phase) when they take their own lore.

How many points you looking to play? Herald of Tzeentch for Daemons is awesome, they get a cheap upgrade that allows them to know every spell of a lore and since it's a gift I believe, I think you can have more then 1 Herald with it in your army.

You are right HE magic is awesome but WOC magic deals with the nature of each chaos god (exclude khonre). First Nurgle corrupt and pervert nature also the spells inflicts damages with no armor save next is Slannesh which deals with the mind causing friend against friend to kill each other and last be not lest is Tzeentch who is the choas god of change and magic with his mark wizards can cast at 1+ on his attempts. Now their are some spells that I like to use first Nurgle spell cloying quagmire in which every model must take an initiative test and pass if not please don't pass armor save if pass remove from play next is Slannesh spell lash of Slannesh a spell causes D6S3 but it stop you from moving until the next turn finally Tzeentch spells I like them all.

Yeah, the level above the one which WOC mages are on. Seriously, the only thing rivalling the HE magic phase is a Slann, and if the HE army contains Teclis then you're pretty much gak outta luck.

I won't aruge about Telis in HE army but HE army without Telis match magic strength with the slann won't happen a lower genration slann like a 3rd or 4th genration will control magic phases

Tz magic from woc or doc either but woc is more fun yay for shenanigans.

You get 1 plus to cast since you are a tz marked caster the spells have relativly low casting values seeing as you get a +5 to cast on a lvl 4 and gateway and pandaemonium are good times.

a Lord of change or Fateweaver can also control the magic phase. A lord of change is also a capable fighter as well.

That would interesting a slann verus a lord of change to control the magic phase or let say special character telis verus fateweaver who whould control the magic phase

Teclis vs generic tz lord woc cast pandaemonium and hey he casts on doubles but also miscasts on doubles so he miscasts twice and he will explode so bring it still.

Big bird vs teclis would be one hell of a battle.

I know this but Telis being turn into a puddle of goo by Fateweaver would be so lovely
