Hi,
I am going for the weekend with friends to play some 8ed games. We play 4x5 (lack of space is a limiting factor) and I noticed that on this limited space and more points then usual "deathstars" are in the meta. It is not a game for 2500 where one Dwellers can do a job because you still have 2-3 more very solid units. I myself am not a tournament player but we invited once a top tier player (ETC) and although he won every game he admitted that this is a totally different game than normal so bear that in mind.
This is my first time with High Elves (I play Empire) and I really don't know what to expect and would like some advice.
First army will be Beastmane (fun made army project).
2 Gorgons
1 Cygor
5-6 chariots
40-50 Bestigor (with old mark of nurgle giving them T 5)
6 Minotaurs
2 Spawns
3x20 Gor in ambush (in this army book they all can be in ambush)
4 lev shaman
2 lev shaman
doombull

Forgot musician in archers.
I took 60 Spearmen because they fight in 5 ranks so to use all attacks but now I am not sure If I want them to fight in horde formation.
I was planning to take Shadow for 4 lev and High for 2 lev but I am not sure If this is a good choice.
Not sure if I have enough redirecters and shooting
