Well my first Warhammer army is WoC. I know that it is not competitive so i want to start a second army after i finish my warriors. Looking through all the army books, i have decided i want something with magic, lots of magic. Whats more I want choice between heaps of lores and want my army to also be competitive and be decent at another phase.
The candidates are:
O&G.Who can say war machines and chariots are nor cool. Night goblin shamans have magic mushrooms and sneaky stealing which can lead to an awesome magic phase of little spells. Plus the lore is very cool, but the downside is you can take brb lores.
Empire can take lots of war machines as well, have great anti magic, decent combat and a lot of fun stuff as well as all eight lores. Sadly however they cant really have a devastating magic phase.
High Elves, pass. My main opponent plays these so nah. Teclis is cool and the elites are great though.
Lizards. Yes slann are great and the army has skinks and salamanders, but i just don't like them.
Skaven, yuck rats.
Daemons are great, but my other main opponent plays them. Kairos and the lores are great, as are flamers, the blue scribes, fiends and master of sorcery but they just dont tickle my fancy. They can have the devastating magic phase i want though with glean magic and D3+1 Pd spell though.
That leaves me with Dark Elves. They can spam casters and have awesome magic items. Plus they just happen to be one of the two most competitive armies in the game along with skaven. Apart from executioners and corsairs and witches and Cob and assassins whats there not to like.
So here is my first go at writing a 2500p list. I like Stelek's max magic armies but i want something balanced.
Supreme Sorceress 225p
Lvl 4 35p
Sac Dagger 25p
=285p
Supreme Sorceress 225p
Lvl 4 35p
Power scroll 25p
=285p
Sorceress 100p
Lvl 2 35p
Dark star cloak 25p
=160p
Sorceress 100p
Lvl2 35p
Tomb of Furion 15p
=150p
Thats a lot of power of darknesses. Power scroller gets death. The others take metal and shadow depending on what i feel like.
Now for a mage bunker. 40 Dark elf warriors are my pick as they are sacrificed , and are also what i would use for wars of attrition.
40 Dark elf warriors 240p
Shields 40p
Command 18p
Banner of Cold Blood 15p.
=313p
Now the compulsory Crossbowmen
4x10 Crossbowmen 400p
Musicians 20p
=240p
2x5 dark riders 170p
Musician 14p
Crossbows 50p
=232p
So now im at 1665p
This army needs some combat punch, something to make use of all those buffs. Black Guard are the prime candidates.
3x20 Black Guard 780p
Musicians 21p
1x Standards 14p
Flaming Pennant 10p
825p
=2490p
This army packs loads of magic damage between death, shadow and metal along with tonnes of buffs and hexes. The black guard should be able to kill anything after your magic's gone of. Your crossbowmen and riders can shoot weak stuff to death. This list isnt optimized and has way to many points in magic, but i would consider it different
