Recently I've been thinking about the best lore tandems to use between a Lv 4 and Lv 2 caster. I play WoC, so my choices are limited to fire, shadow, death and metal from the BRB, as well as the obvious chaos lores.

So far, i'm thinking Shadow and Nurgle for the massive amount buffs and debuffs I can put out. Or even perhaps Tzeench and Fire (would negate that pesky warpflame rule to a point xD), and my casters can be fire turrets!

What do you guys think? Feel free to share any lore combos, this isn't restricted to just WoC.

For WoC I like Death and Metal. And not just because I just realized how awesome that sounds. Death on my level 4, Metal on my level 2 with familiar. Lots of buffs/debuffs and snipes and purple sun. Mmm, delicious.

Shadow+Death. For obvious reasons.

Shadow+Fire. For even more obvious reasons.

Tzeentch+Fire. For hilarity.

Fire Council+Heavens. Obvious, right?

Light+Heavens. If you fail to spot this one, I have some bad news for you.

As a lizardmen player I have a way different perspective than most. I usually do loremaster high magic on my slann with a Lvl 2 beasts skink priest. I always get wysans with the priest and hope that my other spell is amber spear. I guess about a 3rd of the time that is the case.

with my slann i try to drop my magic missiles/direct damage spells right away and i usually pick up shadow spells. Melcoths myasma is almost like having a second hand of glory. plus all of the other hexes in shadow are fantastic.

sometimes, i will go for a life spell or two. just kinda depends on who im playing against.

Well playing TZ DOC, and TK my options are limited, but

Bubble soulblight+Bubble Smiting usually is pretty filthy. Bironas+smiting= on unit of snakeknights= win.

with TZ and metal not a lot of good combos. other than treason+final tranny.

For Bretonnia, definitely heavens on a Lvl4 and beasts on a Lvl 2.

Wish they had their own lore, seen some good ones in a few fan made books.

Treason + final tranny sounds pretty awful if you ask me.

i use VC, and i'll always try to add Beast's Lore to their own, it can upgrade zombies into something resembling a fighter or turn a vampire into a well... beastly undead nightmarish killing warrior, just BUNKwR

Treason and doom and darkness, helped 4 crushers run down 35 excutioners, that was fun.

Also, Speed of Light, Flesh to stone (with thrones up) and iceshard blizzard on opponent on a horde of plague bearers or 6 beasts of nurgle. From Fatey of course but its horribly effective. T9 ws10 -2 to hit means everything hitting on 6's at best, add in the fact they are the best grind units out there this makes them unstoppable IME.

I like miscasting anything and getting large blast with banner of the world dragon while in combat.

Kills the enemy unit so well and barely scratches me, always my fav.
