As for the list, it's good. Pretty solid, nothing strikes me as being wrong but then again nothing strikes me as thinking 'wow this list is awesome!'

What lore are you running on your sorceress?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3050864.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3050864.page GMT Re:Dark Elves - 1500 points IMO it's the best Lore for Elves, because literally every spell except Steed of Shadows is excellent at either killing or eleviating problems that Elves have when dealing with tough opponents, or you not being tough enough (by decreasing Strength), and even then, you can swap that for Meltkoths Mystifying Miasma.

I wrote the list to be balanced, so I wasn't setting out to have an awesome list. I want to have an army which people will verse again, despite being beaten (yes, I have High Elves, and after a game versing each army a person has they leave it at that )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3050889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3050889.page GMT Re:Dark Elves - 1500 points

Where do people get this idea equating balanced with unoptimized? The best lists are balanced (with a few exceptions) because they cover all of your bases. That said, your list is ok with nothing outright wrong except that you have a Champion in your Crossbowmen block that will not do anything. Swap him for a Musician and you'll both be at the correct point limit and improve the unit. If you are otherwise purposefully shooting for a mediocre list, this will work.

Did you refuse to not bring Teclis? Are you only willing to run a single High Elf list with little to no deviation? Not really sure what kind of people you play against, or what kind of person you are, but them losing a single game and refusing to play you again is pretty extreme when your ENTIRE player base has ousted you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3051197.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3051197.page GMT Re:Dark Elves - 1500 points
I concur that with most armies balance is power in its own right (Empire are a prime example). However most people can't resist raw power afforded by things such as Blood Knights or Dragons. The Guardmaster is 5 points actually, same as Musician, so its one or the other. Having said that I'm leaning towards taking nothing for that unit, as the enemy will probably have a more iminent threat.

This was a pretty write-on-the-spot list, so nothing's too great (having said that I'd be more that happy to use it). If anyone has anything I should include in the army, just post a reply!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3051241.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3051241.page GMT Re:Dark Elves - 1500 points http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3051371.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3051371.page GMT Re:Dark Elves - 1500 points ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3054336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/381949/3054336.page GMT
