I am interested in seeing what sort of lists the Loremaster shines in. He has so much potential with all those spells, but I haven't found a build I am happy with as he needs the BoH to economise his dice as much as possible. I think he could do great things in a solid infantry army.Jack Championhttp://twitter.com/Onnotangunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-53321061370062175792013-05-06T01:04:53.300-07:002013-05-06T01:04:53.300-07:00Why dont you try the helms as core, instead of spe...Why dont you try the helms as core, instead of spearmen.

In fact, if you keep the Phoenix Guard close to your Frosthearts, there's a chance the enemy cannons will stop short and get saved by a Phoenix Guard's 4+ (or 3+!). Take that!HEROhttp://lkhero.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229245860561585942.post-73813302869584787952013-05-05T21:17:54.186-07:002013-05-05T21:17:54.186-07:00Hey man, just wanted to point out Shield of Mewyrm...Hey man, just wanted to point out Shield of Mewyrm doesn't work on mounted guys.

Went with 30xArchers(really happy with the load out on them), 3x 5 Ellyrians to finish out Core(again, really happy with how this went, as my opponent was overwhelmed first turn, was absolutely unprepared for vanguard horsies in his face from HE). Special went to 18 PG(Razor Standard) and 21 WL(Banner of the World Dragon). Rares were a Frosty and 2 RBT's. Character kits were the Loremaster with AoC and scroll, the AM with BoH and 4++ and a BSB with the +1 Str sword, Dragon Armor, and Shield of Merwyrm. I have to say that the PG were the MVP's alongside the Phoenix. The rerolls combined with Hand of Glory just completely make that unit. Along with the AM beefing their ward? Nothing could stop them. My WL were the exact opposite. They were chewed up by the Tomb Guard like red-headed step children. I think, unless you fully kit them out with characters and items, the WL stand as much chance to be a liability as Swordmasters will be. <br /><br /><br />Otherwise you are spot on with the Loremaster, in my opinion. Playing with HE now is a completely different magic phase than previously. No Banner of Sorcery means no dependable 7+ dice per phase. That means that as much as I liked the Loremaster, he did jack-crap in the magic phase. He did more in close combat for me honestly. <br /><br /><br />I'm eager to see how DP's do for me. I think a brick of them with a Prince and Noble, then the AM in the PG with points spread out elsewhere will be a good show. I'm of a similar mind with you in terms of the BotWD. It is good in quite a few situations, but it is what I'm seeing as a 'boring' good. Any uncomped HE list will have it, much like the Hellheart and 2 cannons for OK. Very hum-drum. <br /><br /><br />If you get a chance to field Allarielle, please post how it goes! I'm excited to see a nice list for her, with a Handmaiden and a BSB to exhibit all her good stuff. <br /><br /><br />Thanks for the posts!Brandonnoreply@blogger.com
