Personally I would go with life on the Arch mage and High on the mage. That'd give you a lot of flexibility and buffs that will make your units better. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2254478.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2254478.page GMT Re:2250 High Elves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2254746.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2254746.page GMT 2250 High Elves

Also, grats for not relying on Teclis the Crutch. The army is strong enough without him, and yours looks good. Less manuverability than I'd prefer, but still pretty sharp.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2259743.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2259743.page GMT 2250 High Elves

I agree here as well. If you put all 40 together in the same unit, you'd save yourself 25 points, and then be able to add another 2 for 26 points, putting your total at 2249.

Personally though, if you do decide to do that, I would use Spearmen instead. You could field a lot more, and they have the exact same stat line and defenses. Only difference is that you'd be paying 4 more points per model for a Bow. In my experience, I've come to see and realize that unless your list is mostly "shooty", the shooting aspects of the game are less effective. You do have two Repeater Bows, which would cover a wide range of the board, but being so far behind the rest of your army, you'll be shooting through quite a bit of cover.

I also recommend giving your Archmage the Silver Wand instead. Staff of Solidity is nice, but it only works once (at least that's how I'm interpreting it from the way it's written). Having a 5th spell would work better, and your chance of getting to choose a spell you want are considerably higher as well. I think you'd be better off giving him a Talisman that'll give him a Ward Save instead. I would also invest in a Banner of Sorcery. Having two mages to split an average of 7 Magic Dice is a pretty low ratio. Another D3 will add more than you think. Even when I run only 1 Archmage, I find having the Banner of Sorcery to be a great asset. Now I'm almost guaranteed to be able to cast at least 3 spells a turn now.

Lastly, Great Eagles would be a worthwhile investment too. Having Chariots is nice, but with a Flyer on the table, you can cover more distance and have a better chance of disrupting enemy units better.

Good luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2259900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2259900.page GMT 2250 High Elves
next, drop a bolt thrower for 12 more swordmasters and more seamen. then drop whichever item is givin an extra spell, it is not worth it to me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2267090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2267090.page GMT 2250 High Elves
I'd suggest bulking out the Guard s'more, since they seem to be the most capable of both killin' and not dyin'; they can be your anvil.
If you go with one unit of 40 spear-elves of some kind, though, maybe that would be unnecessary.
Finally, instead of increasing the size of the Sword Masters, might I suggest splitting them up into two smaller units, in hopes that one of them will survive long enough to get into combat?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2267506.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334587/2267506.page GMT
