+1

But more than that they have the Banner of Sorcery which is an extra D3 power dice a turn and they have the spell drain magic which can cause troubles for the enemies magic phase if used correctly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2132754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2132754.page GMT High Elves and Magic http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2132786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2132786.page GMT High Elves and Magic
Really the only advantages they have are the afore mentioned book which can be hit or miss depending on the number of dice you generate and the banner which helps make sure you get a decent number of dice.

Put together they let you get off two spells a turn with a very high success rate (the chance of rolling doubles with 4 dice is high).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2132878.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2132878.page GMT High Elves and Magic

It's called The vortex shard. One use only, when you use it it stops the magic phase. All remains in play spells are dispelled and power dice in items are lost (i.e Rod of Power)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2132991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2132991.page GMT High Elves and Magic ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2133051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2133051.page GMT High Elves and Magic lvl 4 with the lore of your choice, cast away, and have a lvl 1 reserve caster to throw down drain magic at the end of your phase. Adding the banner to give a little extra power dice. It's not a cheesy setup, so people can't complain, and can be pretty decent.

As for troops, their troops choices aren't bad, just overpriced. Sea guard are considered the best option, as they can shoot, shoot shoot then once they receive a charge, pump out 4 ranks of attacks striking first and rerolling hits due to ASF. Even S3 attacks at that point can do something.

The special units is where it's at for high elves, with white lions, phoenix guard, and swordmasters all being viable options.

Their core/special units can be amplified by a decent casting phase, getting off a few key spells, and causing it harder for your opponent to cast potential hexes on your troops.

With drain magic, plus maybe either a life or shadow caster, they can easily be worth it. Though if you ask me, even their casters are overpriced.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2133347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2133347.page GMT High Elves and Magic

Honestly I feel a better rout would be to take a lvl 4 with the lore of your choice, cast away, and have a lvl 1 reserve caster to throw down drain magic at the end of your phase.

This is pretty much what I was thinking after looking through the book. Since I've never played a game of fantasy, I didnt know how good this would be. Before this thread I haven't seen anyone mention drain magic. It seems like it could really help with magic defense. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2133606.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2133606.page GMT High Elves and Magic they do not get an extra dispel dice.
they add +1 in each of theyr dispel attempts.
their lore is something for every situation to be honest. the only one that can match it from my expirience is shadow, life and dark magic from the DE.

Moreover, they have some very useful magic items, apart from the book. seerstaff, gem of hoeth etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2138908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/328745/2138908.page GMT
