mmimzie Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Howdy folks, I've decided i'm pretty sure i wanna give a human magic list together. With the changes to the balewind vortex making it more viable. Here's the list: Leaders: 3x Battle Mage Battle Mage of Griffon Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage, Pheonix stone/Master of defense (meh) Luminark Of Hysh With White Battlemage, Pheonix Stone 3x 20 archers The Archers work to counter alpha strikes. With the early move slyvan can be forced to deploy trees further back than they'd like. Or they can be deployed in a star to prevent Storm cast melee or ranged alpha strikes on expensive pieces. Against, some of the stronger shooting list the high move and the large range on the Hurricanum and the luminark will allow for lynch pin hero snipes, and the long range spells from the council combo'd with balewind. With 4 drops against some list you'll have a decent shot at getting first turn against a few armies. weaknesseses are definitely shooting that can shoot past the archer screen, or melee +shooting making a hole in the archers large enough to charge through. Obviously no cool command abilities. strengths are that the army works well against armies that need heros to function as the large range, and mortal wounds give a great shot and blowing them off the board.

AlexHarrison Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I like it, very different. Id perhaps try and abuse the +1 to hit on the Celestrial Hurricanum and tray and take more shooting units? I think 3 units of archers may or may not be enough, considering theyre fragile to bravery tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aezeal Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 60 archers to counter alpha strike but Griffhound? 40 of them might be dead before they can shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmimzie Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 The archers don't really shoot. They just throw themselves in the path of the enemy units. Archers were selected for thier post deployment move allowing for me to take the map as the 5"+d6 move is pretty good. If they get to shoot it'll be pretty nice, but that's only a side benefit. They are there mostly to prevent the tree folk from getting woods down on my side of the map, and keeping them at arms length, or to keep stormcast from dropping on the mage ball.

MrCharisma Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'll be honest... I've been tempted to play with a pure College Arcana list but I'm missing the Luminak and Mage on Griffin to run the battalion. Let us know how you go. I think it'd be fun to play with...

Then getting melee units would be better in any case. But archers + hurricanum + griffhound gives for some nice options and will certainly do more for you than just using them as meatshields.
