Hi all, I'm a long-time Wood Elf player who is looking at starting a new army for 8th. I therefore want to write and army that, whilst still legal now, will also be legal if the 25% restrictions on characters, etc. materialise. I have come up with the following list - I have mainly based this on a TVI style list, but I want the army to be effective in the magic phase as well. This will be especially true if the rumours on Warseer are correct re PD and DD no longer being dependant on the number of wizards you have.
Heroes
Arch Lector 186
Great Weapon, Armour of Meteoric Iron, Van Horstmann’s Speculum
Battle Standard Bearer 128
Full Plate Armour, Enchanted Shield, Doomfire Ring
Battle Wizard (Lvl 2) 130
Rod of Power
Battle Wizard (Lvl 2) 100
Core
28 x Swordsmen (FC) 280
9 x Militia
7 x Archers
28 x Swordsmen (FC) 280
9 x Militia
7 x Archers
10 Handguners (marksman w/ HLR) 105
10 Handguners (marksman w/ HLR) 105
6 Knights Order (musician) 146
6 Knights Order (musician) 146
Special
5 Outriders (musician + Champ w/ HLR) 134
Great Cannon 100
Great Cannon 100
Rare
Helblaster Volley Gun 110
Steam Tank 300
Total 2250
24.2% on characters; 38.2% on core (exclusing detachments), 10.4% on special and 18.1% on Rare
Archlector and one wizard would go in one unit of swordsmen and the BSB and the other wizard would go in the second swordsmen unit.
Also which magic laws would people consider taking. I realise that it is dependant on which army you're facing but for fluff purposes I would rather the mages looked as if they came from the correct College of Magic.
Many thanks.
