You won't attack first and the HoME already removes the elves re-rolls. BRB p66 ASF: "If a model with this rule is fighting an enemy with the same ability, the Attacks are made simultaneously, and neither model benefits from the re-rolls normally granted by this rule."

O my bad didnt look at the rule book on that, thout the Asf would cancel each other out n then initiative would play a roll |

the only chance to attack first is if the HE uses always strike last weapons. Your always strike first makes both guys striking same time like written in the rules. But now comes his always strike last in play if he uses a great weapon. |

Sadly no. They have ASF even with great weapons. It is in their army book and affirmed in their FAQ. Against HE troops I use a disc rider with 1+/4++. Only Phoenix Guard and Dragon Princes have high enough Init to have re-rolls. With the mobility of the disc usually I can charge from behind or from the side resulting just 2 or 4 attacking HE models. Against HE characters, an exalted only have some chance with a good ward save. You will strike last. You can use shadow magic to deny his re-rolls. Edited by Halando, Jan 3 2013, 07:09 AM.

i completely agree here. HE still have ASF despite always strike last. But Always strike last doesn't dissapear. As soon as the opponent also own something ASF, always strike last kicks in as kind of penalty. At least this is the last thing i heard from people regarding to this concern |

I'm pretty positive that if a model has both ASL and ASF they cancel out and the model will strike at initiative. A build i love using against Elves is: Chaos Lord: Mark of Tzeentch Disc of Tzeentch Talisman of Endurance Enchanted Shield Sword that gives +2 Attacks The other Trickster's Shard Sure you will most likely strike last but a 1+/4++ should see you through the storm and 7 S5 attacks with re-rolls to ward saves should take out T3 High Elves pretty easily. |

They will strike first. Official FAQ:
A Chaos Lords should have no problem, though most of the time I give him Trickster's Helmet against HE. Combined with T5 it is quit hard to kill. Enough room for Sword of Might and Talisman of Endurance. IMHO S6 is better against armour and dragons (some HE player still uses them). |
