hey man i pm's you but anyways
i think you should drop the shadow warriors and pick up some more reavers
just so you keep the army pure calvary plus reavers can do just as good of a job as shadow warriors if not a better one (negating ranks on flank and rear charges yay good :yes: )
but ya thats just my opinion

not a bad idea, but I would need to find 47 pts to do so. Any ideas ?

Also, How about ditching the Archmage for a Prince ? He would provide a great help to CR, and defend against abusive lords.

You could drop 1 Silver Helm and the standard off of two of the Siler Helm units and save 74 points. Then run these two units in tandem with the two chariots.

Drop the Shadow warriors and pick up the second Reaver unit and have a few points to play with.

You may want to check your point total on the lvl 2 mage, is it correct?

Good luck and good riding.

Drop the bows on the other reavers and don't take bows with the new ones. That should give you enough points. Reavers don't kill much with bows and at 6 points per bow it's a huge waste of points.

seems like a better list although i'm not sure how well a pure calvary army will preform especially in cc. but you've got high mobility and some fairly strong magic. all and all i think this should be a fun list to play with and good luck.
