So this is obviously a small model count army. But the plan is to hit the enemy hard and fast.
- Archer core is there simply to fulfill requirements and give me a lot of shooting ability.
- 3 Nobles and the Prince hit whatever they want and with some fury.
- Archmage hopefully turns into a Mountain Chimera.
- Mage hopefully turns into a Mountain Chimera.
- Dragon Princes clean up whatever the archers have hit or assist the Noble/Prince block.

I could drop the banner of sorcery to give the archmage a great eagle allowing him to keep up with the Prince and Nobles to cast Savage Beast of Horros and Pann's Impenetrable Pelt on all of them. I'd lose the ability to have 2 Mountain Chimeras but that block would have 44 attacks among them with SBoH up, 25 of which would be at strength 9. Note the list wasn't designed for tournament use, mainly just for competitive fun play.

It also feels VERY High Elf to me. I like it a lot, though it is probably going to be pretty hard to win with most of the time. More power to you though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339494/2323771.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339494/2323771.page GMT

If the 4 Nobles, the Archmage and the Prince all form a pseudo unit on their own, they can start ripping through just about anything. They are fast, have the ability to charge over other models and between the 6 of them generate a staggering number of high strength attacks, especially after Savage Beast of Horros goes off. If I get that off without it being dispelled and the Prince and 4 nobles are within 12" of my mage, they can pump out 35 strength 9 attacks with ASF and (most likely) rerolling misses. That is then followed up with 12 Great Eagle attacks and finally another 6 stomp attacks.

This is where I have a question: Does Savage Beast of Horros increase the Great Eagles strength? The wording of the spell says the 'models' strength is increased so I'm not sure if that means only the rider or both.

Should something amazingly survive that kind of onslaught, Pann's Impenetrable Pelt should greatly increase the survivability of them all. The one big downfall of this unit no ranks, so Steadfast will be a problem, however I feel like any unit big enough to survive 35 Strength 9 attacks deserves another round of combat.

The Seaguard gives me a solid Core which can threaten at both range and in combat. They are now dangerous enough not to be ignored.

Special is where I'm having trouble, which is so strange in a HE list! Part of me is thinking White Lions for another very intimidating, survivable force which cannot be ignored and can take down bigger things should my Eagle Flock (TM) be preoccupied elsewhere. Part of me is thinking Sword Masters for their lawn mowing abilities. And Finally part of me is still thinking tons of Dragon Princes for their ability to keep up with the Eagle Flock (TM), hit hard, put out a respectable number of attacks and still be fairly survivable.

This started out being a 'fun' list but the more I am thinking about this, the more I think it could honestly wreck some face in tournaments, especially against opponents expecting a "standard" HE list.

Thoughts?

The only way that Eagle-Star is going down is from the entire army focusing on them. Don't let it happen, bring the princes in and deal damage in a hurry.

I really think this is awesome btw... don't know how competitive... but f-ing awesome. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339494/2326715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339494/2326715.page GMT
