The Thursday Theme - High Elves Shooting List

This week’s list is another 1200 point list that is intended to be paired with a wood elf list of the same general theme. In this case, the theme of the list is shooting attacks, with all units carrying bows, longbows, or Bows of Avelorn. (Note: If I could have given the mage a bow, I would have just for the sake of completeness.)

Heroes 
Mage w/ level 2 (Lore of High Magic) and a dispel scroll, ironcursed icon, and 6+ ward (165 pts) 
Noble w/ BSB (Banner of Eternal Flame), longbow, and dragon armour (120 pts) 

Core 
Archers (28) w/ musician and standard (300 pts) 

Special 
Shadow Warriors (10) w/ Shadow-walker armed w/ a Reaver Bow (175 pts) 
Shadow Warriors (10) (140 pts) 

Rare 
Sisters of Avelorn (10) w/ High Sister (150 pts) 
Sisters of Avelorn (10) w/ High Sister (150 pts) 

Total Points: 1200

The end result of this list is that I begin with 72 shots at 24” or greater. Twenty of those shots are magical, flaming and strength 4. 29 of the shots are 30” and flaming thanks to the BSB that will be placed in the unit.

When it comes to magic, I am hoping to get Hand of Glory on the mage as it will allow the archers to fire at BS 5+. I debated over whether I should take the Lore of High Magic or the Lore of Fire to improve the damage output of the archer unit. I might consider an alternate build that drops the noble and adds a second mage w/ the Lore of Fire.
