recently decided to play Fantasy after playing 40K for several years, after looking things over i decided to play high elves. one thing about my decision is that i don's really care if they are easy, hard, or one of the best or crappiest armies i just like the looks and i dont care if i win or lose, i just enjoy playing. however, after looking over the rulebook and the codex i feel kinda slowed, so im looking for any kind of help on what i should invest time and money into. so far im looking at making my core archers and sea guard, as well as maxing my rare choices with repeating bolt throwers. i like the sounds of the chariots and phoenix guard, and will probly feild one or two units of silver helms. unfortunatly where im getting really bogged down is in the HQ area, i know elves are good at magic and negating magic so i have to figure out a way to put maybe two mages in and maybe a noble to go with the phoenix guard or sea guard. but this is all new to me so im still talking to people and reading the books again and looking online so like i said any help would be great.

Welcome to Dakka Dakka. I have no idea on how to help with the High Elves, like you I'm moving onto WHFB after a few years of 40k.
Try asking on the WHFB section they'll be able to answer you well

Welcome to dakka and sorry man but i dont play WHFB...yet!

Welcome to Dakka!

My favorite units of High Elves were Chariots and Silver Helms , with 4 RBT

Welcome and sorry no fantasy for me either¡¡¿¿¡¡¿¿

Welcome to dakka.

Welcome to dakka have a good look around the P&M section

As much as my dwarfen soul hates me for it, I've played High Elves in my fantasy battle days (those that was some time ago)...purely because I wanted to enjoy a fast army for a change. I do have to say that, from my experience, the units you are looking to field were pretty effective (especially a couple repeater bolt throwers). I also like sword masters and shadow warriors (it's always nice to have some skirmishers).

Good evening sir.

I am 'dakka's' posh boy.
