TGCMactar Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So what would be a good starting list? after i get the spire of dawn pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budda Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 well two spire of dawns gets you a cracking starter. 20 sword masters and 20 spire guard are good big units. Then a skycutter. In the spireguard box there is a battalion which makes swordmasters and all the other units in the box into swifthawk agents. When you combine that rule with the skycutter warden which gives all swifthawk agents plus 1 to wound. You can see why it's powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNotebookGM Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm not sure that battalion is legal any more. I've got 2 SoD boxes and they are fun to play with. I'd say embrace mixed order and get models you like until GW get's a new aelf faction out or decides to just give SHA the rules and models they deserve.

Twitch of Izalith Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 You may struggle to get hold of Spire of Dawn now - its been replaced by Blightwar effectively. If you want a thematic army because you like the way the old high elf models look then I agree with @TheNotebookGM just buy whatever models you will enjoy painting and have some open play/narrative games. If you want to be at all competitive then you need to choose a specific faction and get multiples of the best units in it. I'm not saying this seriously at all but it will also help you if you stop thinking of them as High Elves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGCMactar Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 it is still available on my region gw website!! at the same price as a start collecting box! idk where you guys are living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalDachshund Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 My local store have like 10 Spires left at a 60% off price so... not too hard to get them I guess? Other thing is making a good HE list - could be challenging/inefficient without some order mixing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But straight out of the box? No. Reavers are always Battleline, but both Spire Guard and Swordmasters are only battleline in their respective allegiances. You'll need to focus your units into a majority allegiance to cover battleline. Or just find more Reavers (who are, if I remember right, the only non-compendium "High Elf" battleline with no restrictions). Either way, if you like the Spire of Dawn models, that box is a great deal, especially if you can split it with a Skaven player, so I'd say go nuts unless you want something specific.

TheNotebookGM Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 My plan for mixed order. 3 Spire of Dawn boxes (got 2 so far) 2 Fyreslayers Start Collecting 2 Tenebrael Shards Gets you well past 2k and gives you plenty to play with varied lists.

TGCMactar Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 so is the spire of dawn set mixed order or is it part of swift hawk agents? and do swifthawk agents have their allegiance abilities? i dont have my own new generals hand book so its hard for me to get the info and what other high elf units are battleline?
