Modified High Elf Tournament List @ 2400pts
Ah the dilemma of re-building a list post tournament.
Here is teh Rumor Roundup for this week! Apocalypse Second Edition is around the corner!
Well not a good day, in fact my worst ever at a WHFB tournament event with 3 losses in 3 games including to absolute 0-20 thrashings.
Had an interesting situation crop up while playing against Calebs Warriors of Chaos on Thursday regarding the High Magic lore attribute and how the WS is affected by the Mage leaving the unit. Situation was as follows: L2 with Phoenix Guard successfully casts spell from High Magic – L2 and PG get +1 WS L4 with White Lions successfully casts spell from Lore of Shadow and swaps places with L2. Now the question was – what happens to the +1 WS that the High Magic lore attribute grants? The lore rule states that “The caster and his unit get +1WS” Now normally the standard rules that cover Augments and Hexes would apply here but a Lore Attribute is neither an augment or a Hex even though it acts like an Augment.
After Thursday nights game I decided to submit the list I used that night for next weekends WHFB tournament Horned Gobbo.
The deadline for submitting lists for my next WHFB Tournament Horned Rat is the 14th June.
My buddy Rob over at Spikey Bits has released a video review of the new White Dwarf with the Eldar Releases.
Here is a summary of information, much of which I covered already, some of which is new.

While blogs like mine, BoLS and Faeit212 are being careful not to release photos of the Eldar models, lest we incur GW wrath, they are readily available online.
