I'm part of a league and I'm struggling. There's a Cathay player that is tough to beat. Is this a good option or am I off base? I don't have the full range of high elves. The only unit. It included is phoenix guard.

Kind of a pedantic thought, but I just finished reading The Sundering and I am confused about all things Imrik when it comes to WFB/Old World.

The Imrik model was part of the line throughout WFB, but by the time he’d have fought against any Dark Elves he would have been Phoenix King Caledor, and it seems like he’s fighting alongside Tyrion and Teclis a lot in the fantasy battles setting.

It just doesn’t seem like Imrik would exist as a character in any version of this game.

By the time the Wood Elves exist as a separate from the Phoenix throne, we’re past the point reign of Caledor 2… so theoretically the wood elves being in old world means the dark elves already exist.

Am I off base?

This is unbelievably difficult. It’s making me rethink using them at all!

I thought it would be interesting to share my list and comment a few considerations.

For context, we were just 4 players (a Slayer host, a Nomadic Waaagh! and a regular goblin army). It was quite casual, and we were technically allowed to make changes to our lists (I didn't, and neither did the goblin player. The slayer player brought 3 different lists and asked us which of them we would like to play against. The nomadic player conveniently removed a wolf rider goblin unit and added a caster the day we played ).

This was my list

The loremaster (battle magic) didn't do much with his magic. I'll probably try to run it again, but with silvery wand, so I can have both a ranged and a close combat option.

Sea guard was good, but I somehow managed to have atrocious rolls when shooting against naked infantry, well below the average (in stark contrast, they managed to kill a few boar rider big un' orcs). They managed to survive 6 fanatics! More resilient that I expected, but not enough to hold the line for long

White lions were the best unit in terms of getting things done and manoeuvring. Their King's guard rule was kind of irrelevant, since many units either didn't have champions or were lone characters. Their S6 was amazing and managed to obliterate much bigger units. Best moment was when the remaining command group charged into the flank of 30 goblins and made them flee. I'll probably use them in a smaller-size unit in the future, with only the champion and RoF.

The sisters were everything you can imagine. Killed a decent number of enemies. Paper thin, though, but being immune to psychology, the can take shots to the face like it's nothing. Even 2 of them can be a nuisance.

I was surprised to see that impact hits weren't too big of a problem, as in many cases, my opponents were too cautious and didn't go for long charges, which allowed me to march 2" away from them and disable them. Fanatics were unavoidable, though.

All in all, it was fun, with lots of swingy rolls.
