Hello guys,
Havent played the hobby competitively since 2014 and recently got back into the fray and played a local event and now I've gotten hooked back into 8th edition
My main force before was O&G but have dabbled in every army out there.
There is an upcoming event next year that I need to playtest and get an army painted for.
For those with more experience how would you rate the below list, any advice or ideas any potential changes or what does/doesn't work?
Basic Idea: Loremaster and Level 2 high goes into the Phoenix guard unit (thinking loremaster plus a level two high should be enough magic while still being survivable [since he gets +1 its like a level 3]) this hopefully gives the unit a 3++ and access to things like wildform for either the cav bus or the PG. Cav bus with BOTWD and Star Lance Noble to give some damage and survivability. So the two units will have very good magic defense and with loremaster and High access to alot of buffing or trickle damage spells.
Noble on eagle for a more survivable warmachine hunter to pair along side basic eagle.
Reavers and small unit of helms for some chaff.
Frostheart to aid the two big blocks.
+ Lords +
Loremaster of Hoeth
Magic Items: Armor Of Caledor, Channeling Staff, Dawnstone
