I'm not sure how I should approach this, or what I should take. I have at least one unit of everything in the High Elf range. I've already posted a *rough* estimate of what I have at my disposal models wise on the WHFB Army List board for reference. I've reproduced that here for ease. I'm not sure how I should approach the game itself, strategically. Obviously we dont know what the mission would be, either. The Empire player has almost everything in the model range, as does the Daemonic Legions player (the Daemon player has a tendancy t favour Khorne, with his unit of 8 Bloodcrushers), but the Empire player may be able to talk some sense into him. Who knows? So basically, given my potential units below, what sort of approach should I take while in game?

Lords/heroes
-Tyrion
-Teclis
-2 Dragons (one with a lord, one unmounted, with some options as to what I could use with it) - well, another one unassembled. I like Dragons, what can I say?
-4 nobles/princes (Blind Eltharion model and a hero character on foot; 2 mounted heroes)
-5 Mages (3 on foot, 2 mounted)

Core
72 Archers
90 Spearmen (I think)

Special
21 Silverhelms
18 Ellyrion Reavers
40 Swordmasters
20 White Lions
25 Phoenix Guard
15 Dragon Princes
20 Shadow Warriors
3 Chariots

Rare
4 RBTs
3 Eagles

I'm fairly sure that's everything I own. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/494742.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/494742.page GMT DL.

Tyrion and 2 lords on dragons combocharging should smash that bloodcrusher unit without breaking a sweat.

Teclis is essential in large scale games. He is super awesome but you struggle to fit in the rest of the army in smaller games.

Eltharion on foot is another great character. Mage, great fighter, ward save.

Make 1 level 2 mage carry staff of sorcery to get +2 dispel.
Rest of them carry dispel scrolls.

Good luck.

I actually have 6 mages---3 on foot, 2 mounted, 1 Teclis. hehehe...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/495481.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/495481.page GMT
Problem is there is so much good stuff in the characters you quickly run out of army.

The eltharion model on foot is useable. Its what he is and they give rules for him on foot. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/497789.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/497789.page GMT WD where they gave rules for him and Malus Darkblade? Those rules would have been overidden by the new HE book and new edition of Warhammer.

I'm currently looking at Tyrion, Teclis, 2 Lords on Dragons, 2 nobles, 3 mages and a dragon mage. a bit much in characters, eh?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/498028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/498028.page GMT Pg 69 HE book: Eltharion may ride his griffon, Stormwing.

Then in the army list on page 90 his listing has 'May ride Stormwing 205 points'

So you can take him on foot.
There is an official Eltharion on foot model.
It would look slowed if you took the mtd eltharion and stuck him on a 20mm base...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/498772.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225722/498772.page GMT
