Hello all,
New to the forum. I've recently joined a gaming club where several people thankfully play WFB (8th). With this in mind I wanted to get back into Fantasy with a new army and I've decided on going High Elves! I played some back in the day but the most recent book and units are all new to me. That being said I went out to make an army list to play and was looking for some feedback.
The atmosphere at the club where I'll be playing is serious but not super competitive. Not trying to win-at-all-costs but I wanted a fun list that would have a good chance at winning. I especially wanted a list where I could be active in all the phases. Let me know what you think!
Lords
305 – Archmage w:/lvl 4, Talisman of Endurance, Book of Hoeth.
Going to run this guy with Lore of High Magic in my Phoenix Guard
Heroes
303 – Noble w:/ Armor of Destiny, lance, shield, Griffon, BSB.
Mobile BSB. Will hopefully be able to give me the leadership and extra combat power wherever needed
135 – Mage w:/ Dispell scroll, Khaines ring of fury.
Probably going to use Lore of Life with this guy. Bunkered in with my archers.
Core
164 – (14) Archers w:/musician, light armor.
Armor upgrade is debatable but I needed the points to satisfy for core requirement.
2X 105 – (5) Ellyrion Reavers w:/ musician and bows.
Annoying, fast, anything I need basically.
270 – (20) Lothern Sea Guard w:/ Full command, Shields.
Nice core block that will add to the shooting.
Special
510 – (29) Phoenix Guard w:/ Full Command, Razor Banner.
Almost death-star level unit. I felt obligated to take so many and the banner because I’m already tailoring my Archmage to work with them (adding to their ward save). I might come to
regret it but I doubt it.
303 – (21) White Lions w:/ Full command.
Running them 7 wide to maximize attacks. Hard hitting unit that will hopefully not take TOO much shooting damage. The hammer to my anvil.
120 – Lothern Skycutter w:/ Bolt Thrower.
I know I want to take at least one chariot and this just seems so cool. I don’t expect it to live long but I don’t know.
Rare
2X 50 – Giant Eagle.
Two naked Eagles for all the great shenanigans that they do. I feel like I need these because I don’t have any other miss-directors then the Reavers.
70 – Bolt Thrower.
Not sure if it'd be better to drop the Chariot and take another one or two.
Total: 2490
I guess my only questions would be what do I do (remove, take something new) to make it even 2500.
Also, a side note, does anyone know where the reference is for the rule regarding the 18in bubble for a BSB on a monster? I know that it applies for a General's leadership bubble but I can't find an official source saying it works for BSB as well. I could be reading it wrong or just not know where the rule is.
Thanks for your feedback!

Especially with the Book
