I want to experiment with the idea and see how it goes. I plan on trying out the following list:
Mage (High Magic), Level 2, Seerstaff Of Saphery
Characters: 200/200 (Spent/Maximum)
15 Archers, Banner, Banner of Eternal Flame, Musician
10 Archers, Musician
10 Phoenix Guard, Full Command, Banner of Sorcery
Repeater Bolt Thrower
Total: 800
Not allowed to spend more than 200 on characters in total, normally you get 200 for Lords and 200 for Heroes but I'm playing using a special tournament rules set.
I can see this list struggling against armies that are better able to field gunlines as well as lists with highly-armoured troops (Empire knight lists, etc.). I can counter gunlines with Lore of Light and I can counter armour with Lore of Metal; however, I cannot counter both using one lore. Also, I plan to use the High Magic combination of Curse of Arrow Attraction, then Flames of the Phoenix, then Drain Magic to make it hard to dispel FotP.
Any comments (besides the absolute madness of fielding a gunline High Elf list!)? Especially, what Lore should I take if trying to produce an all-comers list?
