Hello folks,
So I need to build a 500, 750 and 1200pt list for high elves to stand up to the unstoppable tide of WOC Can anyone advise what will give me a fighting chance.
Things I don't currently have:
either of the phoenixs
Phoenix guard
Lord on a dragon
Dragon princes (they aren't built yet)
skycutter
Anything else I can field. What do people advise?

Is it an escalating list or can the lists be totally different?
What is it you have problem with WoC?
What were you planning on running yourself? Any favorite unit?

The list would be escalating in this instance. (long story but travelling up to his)
I have never fought WOC as High elves, I last fought with my empire army and got utterly crushed. (We are all just starting to play). Favorite units are white lions, swordsmen and sea guard.
I was looking at
Lords/heroes
Mage(s) with lore of life or lore of shadow
Core
seagaurd
and a spearmen block
(I don't have enough reevers made up to make it worth it yet.)
Speical
Then sticking in a unit of swordsmen with the armour piercing standard throwing in a unit of white lions too as I have so many.
Rare
Eagle and sisters of the watch for rare
Hope this helps

Could be doing somethibg like this but it will be though: Vs WoCHigh ElvesMage - high magic 8511 Lothern Sea Guard: musician 13114 White Lions of Chrace: Guardian; musician; standard bearer 2125 Sisters of Avelorn 70498 pointsI would put high mage general with sea guard and pick the bolt as his spell. So he will probebly run warriors so everything aim at that. Try shooting down 1 or two and then fight them with white lions. Sea guard will not do anything so keep them away from battle.  Vs WoCHigh ElvesMage: Level 2 Wizard; Dispel Scroll 14520 Lothern Sea Guard: musician; standard bearer 24015 White Lions of Chrace: Guardian; musician; standard bearer 22510 Sisters of Avelorn 140750 pointsVs WoCHigh ElvesLoremaster: Shield of the Merwyrm; Ogre Blade 285Mage: Dispel Scroll 11030 Lothern Sea Guard: Sea Master; musician; standard bearer 36021 White Lions of Chrace: Guardian; musician; standard bearer 30310 Sisters of Avelorn 1401 198 pointsIf you are not allowed to downgrade the mage then keep him as a level 1 and add more bodies in either group of your choice. |

This is really cool!!! I will give this a go! Thank you It can probably be opted better But it includes a lore-master as soon as the point allows it. I do think he is amazing in lower point levels. It also includes 3 units you wanted to field. Like with all spear elves my opinion is you need to to big as your point limit allows. Personally I would go for bolt thrower instead of sisters as I think the points is a better opted. |

I would be tempted to go for a Eagle rather than a bolt thrower purely for the redirect and bait potential. More points for spears and other things then, what do you think? |

Yeah bolt thrower is a definite choice to be considered. You want to dominate the phases that WoC can't, shooting being one of them. I would definitely take swordmasters or white lions with the razor standard, but get them in the flank.
