I know Lore of Life is the best is the "healing" magic, giving everyone regen. But which army best wields it?

I am guessing either Bretonnia or the Empire (having Warrior Priests and Life Mages)

High Elves and Lizardmen also have access to Lore of Life and can build lists capable of spamming the gak out of it.

I'd say Lizardmen over High Elves just for Focused Rumination. Sure, he's more expensive than an Archmage, but Focused Rumination is extremely good, especially with 8th's magic.

Or asa an alternative to healing with Life: TK using their Lore attribute is fairly good at healing too....

Daemons can use it as well.

I'd say daemons 140 points for a level 2 that knows all the spells in the lore. No more hoping you roll correctly which can be difficult on a level 2. You can take 3 in a 2k game put them all into a bunker of pink horrors giving them a 4+ward if you can put Skulltaker in the same unit you got a 2+ ward versus magic and the master of challenges to protect them.

I also use the changeling, and making the life mage the bsb.

Vc all the way the undead horde spell 5d6 zombies and spamming the necromancer spell.
Saw vc vs tk and vc won because of being able to raise more guys.

I think both lizardmen and high elves wield the lore of life very well.But in terms of healing nagic the lore of vampires is extremely good.
