Beardyface Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 There were a few Aelf lists representing at SCGT but all seemed to have Mr Prime helping them out and a range of characters that will become legacy after the Order Grand Alliance updates are applied. I've dusted down my old High Elf army and am about to start chopping it up/rebasing ready for a new project. Thinking Eldritch Council, Phoenix Temple and Wanderers for some fire support. Having storm crutches through SCGT all aelf pool choices just seem like poorer alternatives to their shiny friends. Skycutters might have some wings due to their fantastic speed. If anyone's had any successes with Aelves any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems really strong and the wanderers could be a really clever finesse army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardyface Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Cool. Cheers Rufuo. Sadly I think that list has lost something now Allarielle, Teclis and Caradryan have bitten the bullet. Going to go something like 1/3 Wanderers. Sisters seems best shooting option and Waywatcher and Waystalker look punchy in the shooting phase. 1/3 Annoited on Flamspire and Phoenix Guard for tankiness. Final 1/3 Eldritch Council (Drakeseer, Loremaster and Swordmasters). might not be the greatest list in the world but nice models and something to start from!

Rob Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 That should look fantastic and it sounds a great starting point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardyface Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Cheers Rob. As long as they're vaguely competitive this is mostly about my Aelf fetish that's gone to long without an itch. Going to add some skycutters to the 150 as well. Love the model and 16'' move, 2d6 run and can still shoot is cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufio Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Sisters of slaughter are amazing. If you can make it so there are so many threats on the board they are low down and get them into combat!! You will kick ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardyface Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 They're naughty Aelf's though. Don't think I'm aloud to play with them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm looking at a Darkling Coven as my next list with some Daughters of Khaine mixed in. Wanna run my Bloodwrack shrine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardyface Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Cool. I found a bunch of Witch Elves this afternoon I'd forgotten I painted. Luminous pink hair! Finding it hard to write Aelf lists though. So squishy after punching the world with my Stormcasts at the weekend (85th overal but 6th in KPs ?)!

Ben Johnson Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Are the kill points up? I haven't seen them. I think I scored 588 and I only dropped the 12 as they where still in the summoning pool after the Wizards died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you scroll right on the warscore results section it has the full breakdown of painting points, agendas, KPs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancesWithSaurus Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sisters of the Watch are really good (I love them against keyword = Chaos). I prefer the Wayfinder hero with it's 3D6 attacks (although invariably I role a 4 or something). Sister of the Thorn are fab too and the Shield of Thorns spell is great if you don't want something to die. I was quite underwhelmed by the Wanderers list (compared to other shinier armies) but I find my opponents are nicely softened up by the time I engage them in melee. Saying that, I am thinking of reinforcing my army with something that can take down monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubyandwells Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 While offense seems > than defense in AoS, one thing that might be interesting that I haven't heard much about is a heavy-defense list, w/ Luminark of Hysh as the only non-aelf 'scroll. You could have multiple 6+ "ward" saves from Shield of Saphery (Archmage) and Aura of Protection (Luminark). Imagine Phoenix Guard with 4+ normal, 4+ Witness to Destiny, and ~3 additional 6+ vs wounds or mortal wounds. You could also add Shield of Thorns (re-roll failed armor saves for a unit) from the Sisters of Thorn, although they seem pricey in SCGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, I am thinking of reinforcing my army with something that can take down monsters. Looking at Shield of Thorns, the obvious target is your Eternal Guard, since it means if you can get them into cover, then they will be really hard to move, although I can't help but think if it would be worth doing (or at least be amusing) to cast it onto a somewhat large unit of Glade Guard, since you only get the Mortal Wound proc when you roll a 6 on your re-roll, so by intentionally casting it on a unit with a bad armour save, you will be forcing more re-rolls. It would be a nasty surprise for anyone who gets close enough to charge them, without rend at least. Edit: I wasn't entirely correct. You don't have to get the 6 on the reroll, a 6 on the first roll will cause the mortal wounds, which means the Eternal Guard are probably the most reliable for it (since they can add 1 to their save rolls if they don't move).

Veterannoob Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wood elf, wanders, seem quite badass on their own. I'll be seeing them again this weekend event. Though they Will have a tree Lord if that counts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkspear Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I feel that the Wanderer faction is absolutely devastating, especially so if you mix them with the Phoenix Order. Phoenix Order troops hold the line while the Wanderers do the actual killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
