I see one of two things that you can do: 1) Melee focus with sigvald as your general. The high elves have ASF, but with Sigvald's high initiative anyways, it won't matter...plus treating all terrain as open ground WITH a unit of warriors is N-A-S-T-Y. 2) Magic focus with either Death or Shadow. Your focus here is debuffs. Debuff their strength and toughness. There's not much you can do about the ASF, but if they're dishing out love pats, it won't even matter. Fighting High Elves with magic, if they take Teclis, typically doesn't work out too well, but it is possible, especially if you bombard them with a lot of little debuff spells. They'll run out of dice at some point and end up getting hit with something. Plus, if you have a good phase, they're next magic phase they're forced to do damage control to keep up. What still remains an issue is the archers...you'll get shot all to hell, and that's just the short of it, but a hellcannon is handy in that matter (shooting on monster mode, both work well). If you know that he is going to do a shooting focus, take knights and rush his archers. He'll shoot you ALOT, but most of those shots will ting off your armour. Mark them Nurgle and that should help. Mark everything Nurgle if you're really worried about shooting, but I'd rather spend the points on Khorne or Tzeentch to be honest. |

What Lore does he usually run? Take third eye. If he usually runs shadow, go MoT. If he goes life, then Shadow is a good choice. Misama will pull his ability to re-roll misses as well by lowering his I. Edit Oh and by some chariots Edited by Hinge, Jan 8 2012, 02:33 AM.

I am still pretty new to warriors of chaos but one of the main armies I am facing on a regular basis is High Elves. As far as magic goes Treason of Tzeench seems to be on of the most devastating spells you can drop on a unit of sword masters/white lions. Great Weaponing themselves in the face tends to drop A lot of models from my experience. The hell cannon can devastate those bigger units of archers and Sea Guard. Finally how are you equipping your Marauders? What mark do they have and what weapon choice? |

I haven't decided on how I'm equipping and marking anything yet, I'd quite like some tips on that please. If anyone can tell me how many points his total army is id be very grateful. Thanks Edited by Hazard, Jan 8 2012, 06:37 PM.

your points will very based on marks and equipment that you give the models. I would run the Marauders as Khorn with great weapons. 40 Marauders with the mark of Khorn and full command costs 250 points and your getting str 5 attacks with two attacks apiece in the front rank. It works pretty well for me. |

By the way in-case this changes anything, haven't ever played against my friend properly and he hasn't won any battles, I'm only asking for help because I'm relatively new to the game and thought some tactics would be helpful. |

Firstly how many points in total his entire collection are worth is not really interesting for us. We do however need to know how many points you have agreed upon playing on? Is it a 2000 point battle, a 2400? We need to know this to give you a list suggestion! Other help you can find by going through this forum and read. Those are some links to this forum on WoC vs High Elves: http://s4.zetaboards.com/cotec/topic/9264723/2/#new http://s4.zetaboards.com/cotec/topic/9270416/1/#new |

A ton... assuming he is not upgrading or equipping either of the two lords he has (quite unlikely) add in the star dragon and he is spending 745 points on lord choices meaning that the list runs a minimum of 3000 points due to the 25% rule. if he has any upgrades on those units your looking at a minimum 3500 point list. |

I think the first thing you guys need to do is see how many Core points you're both working with, so that you can determine what size game you can play. In all likelihood, it will be determined by him, since he only has 32 Archers and 30 Sea Guard, while you have... well, a lot more Core than that. Once that's done and over with, we can start talking army advice. Edited by rothgar13, Jan 9 2012, 01:25 PM.

Just Remembered,From what you guys are saying it sounds like we'll be playing a 3000 point battle, I've just just remembered, we both agreed to play a 1500 point battle to work out what we both play like(and test out our new units).
