Having finally gotten around to trying the new HE book after my love affair with the Daemons and enjoying the play of the pointy eared dudes a lot, I decided that they will be my project in the fresh campaign around here.

Total: 996

The mage will almost inevitably use the spearmen block as a hiding spot, while the noble can join anyone, really. The two Swordmaster lines can either function as pseudo detachments for the spear block or operate independently while the spear block tarpits something for them - either way, a double swordmaster charge or a swordmaster/dragon prince combination charge is probably enough to utterly obliterate anything at this points level short of a dragon or something(which, against the swordmasters at least, will still know it was in a fight before it kills them). Simple list, nothing silly like a Dragon Mage or anything.

As for changing it, I could see dropping the RBT and a unit of Swordmasters for 12 White Lions for forest charge craziness and can opening, but I'm not sure if giving up the superior hitting power of the SMs or the ranged threat of the RBT is worth it at such a low point level.

Likely opponents are VC, Dwarfs, Dark Elves, Lizards, and Empire.

I find the RBT at 1k pretty invaluable. Especially against the Dwarfs.

List looks nice, though vulnerable to shooting.
