The other option is an Archmage. If I take a third mage I never know what to do with it. Maybe just put it in with some Archers. I do not know how useful it is to put it on a chariot and run around.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/431352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/431352.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/431401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/431401.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/431419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/431419.page GMT
1: Archmage, dragon mage (give hime the 5+ ward save item for heavens sake), arcane banner. Items to suit. Then a BSB.

2: Prince, BSB, 2 mages, primarily defensive.

Eltharion is the spanner in the works. Great combat, great Ld, and a level 2 mage. I'd go him on foot, another level 2 mage scroll caddy, a BSB and another noble.

See here for an all infantry eltharion army at work...

Not sold on option two. Would rather have one lvl 4 defensive mage with scrolls, bsb, and two nobles.
more killy power, more defensive magic, just better use of points overall.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/436876.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/436876.page GMT
Combat lord
BSB
2 mages

Of course there are racial variations (i.e. lizzies SMP).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/437261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221728/437261.page GMT
Teclis 475pts

Mage 140pts Scroll Caddy
Mage 201pts
Barded Steed, Level 2, Sigil of Asuryan, Silver Wand
Mage 140pts Scroll Caddy


Dragon Mage 430
Warrior Mage, Reckless, Level 2, Guardian Phoenix, Gem of Sunfire/or Staff of Solidity.

I really wish you could take multiple items from the same category--a staff of solidity seems a wise choice, given a Dragon Mage's recklessness. But the Gem would provide a single turn of some bad-assed Fire Based Magic. Thoughts?
