http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net WHFB and am in the process of building my first army which should be 2500 pts and I am trying to figure out how I want to run my ladies. I have been watching OnceBitten's battle reports on youtube and I kind of like his style of using a level 4 prophetess with life and level 2 damsel with beast, but when I asked some folks about running it at my local store I got a lot of mixed responses about that being to expensive and that I should just go with either one level 4 or two level 2. So I am wondering what other people out in the Dakka world run.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2391281.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2391281.page GMT
She gives the unit she is in the 5+ blessing, and Magic resistance 3. So they will have a 2+/5+ and a 2+ against magic. So feel free to run a deathstar unit there. Throw her in a unit of 12 grail knights with 3 Paladins and a Paladin BSB with the banner of the lady in the second rank next to the fey enchantress and i pity the fool who gets into combat with that unit.

Also when you use her you dont have to give up the first turn for the blessing, your army automatically starts with it.

Running her is well worth the 545 points she cost. With the ability to bring dead knights back to life, call in the comet from heavens for free, she is well worth the points and is a must have in any bretonnian army. I am currentsy 25-3 with my bretonnians using this build. The 3 i lost were the watchtower senario, WOC are really hard to move once they get in there.

So run the Fey encantress, the benifits far outweigh her cost. I hope that helps and if you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

But I agree with the level 4 (life) with a big unit of Knights and the level 2 (beasts) on foot with a unit of men-at-arms. Actually... I'd probably save the points and make her a level 1 (beasts), because the signature spell is the only one she'd need. Heck, if I was planning on running two big blocks of men-at-arms, I'd seriously consider two level 1's (beasts), both choosing the signature spell.

At least, in a larger army anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2393652.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2393652.page GMT lvl 2s, both with life and only ever take buff spells.
My magic phase is nothing special but it does leave room for 2 lords who can be quite brutal.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2393814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2393814.page GMT Lvl 4 and lvl 2 might be a little pricey so maybe I will consider running a couple of levels 2's.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2393870.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2393870.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2397952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2397952.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2399460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2399460.page GMT
I would suggest trying the lv 4&2. Then try the Fey Enchantress. That way you can see how much better she is than the 2 other wizards.

In 8th, though, I think that the danger of running so many points all at once is worth noting. A single bomb-spell on your 12 Grail Knights and four characters could well lose you the whole game. I'm not saying it doesn't rock; I'm saying that it, like any other time you put everything you have into one unit, will win or lose very, very hard.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2400860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/343476/2400860.page GMT
