Friends and I regularly play 40k and one mentioned recently getting into Warhammer, he said he was considering skaven and since High Elves have always seemed kind of cool I said if he wanted to get into it, I'd go halves on the starter set with him. But it's been about 10 years since I was into Warhammer so I have no idea how it goes down these days. I see warhammer is in 8th edition but as far as I could tell (please correct me if i'm wrong) none of the army books are in 8th yet, would it be worth waiting for a couple of them to come out? How do High Elves compete? Are they still powerful magically? I always preferred fielding multiple units of spearmen, because they look badass, with just a couple of squads of swordmasters or whatever. Would playing like that nerf me?
Thanks dakka. Welcome back to Fantasy As far as your questions, let's see.
Nah, most of the codexes with a few exceptions (Wood Elves) are still quite fine in 8th edition. When 8th came out, all of the races got a pretty extensive FAQ to modernize them until a new codex for each race was made. You'll be fine there. High Elves are still an excellent army. They have a great mixture of melee power (Swordmasters, Phoenix Guard) and magic. And yes, they have very strong magic still, arguably the best in 8th, or certainly up there in terms of magical strength and flexibility. Spearmen blocks work fine still, though for durability you will want to have deeper units, rather than wider.
Ranked infantry are exceptionally powerful in 8th edition as well, so you'll be very well served by a couple blocks of spearmen, supported by magic or elite combat units. Thenoobbomb wrote:High Elves have an 8th edition AB. They most certainly do not.
Orcs and Goblins, Tomb Kings, and Ogre Kingdoms are the only 8th edition army books so far.And VC's getting their new book in January. Skaven can be quite gross in 8th if you start looking specifically for the. (hey, they're rats - it's their job, right?!!) They got the second last book of 7th ed, and were (rummored) to have been at least partially designed with 8th ed in mind. Eingeladen Zum Fest Des Glaubens Noten Pdf To Word. (think of them like the GK's book which has a few 6th ed clues in it.) I honestly find that the rat-things are the most diverse book in fantasy in terms of list composition with lots of viable options; - large blocks reliable troops (who sometimes charge in the opposite direction) - couragous leaders (from the back ranks) - (catastrophicly) successful wonder-weapons - killer magic phase (for everyone!) - indescriminent shooting into combat - when in doubt, send more slaves. High Elves have a steeper curve than skaven, but they're just as decent and can also reliably reek of well-aged cheddar when the need arises. (*cough*teclis*cough*) Spearmen can be well supported with the right magic lores - beasts to turn them into lightly armoured chaos warriors, or shadows to hex your opponents or perhaps give your unit S8 attacks!!! As mentioned, elf infantry works better for the most part though with smaller frontage because even their leaders are T3.
