THE HOST OF TIRANOC (1,500 points)

Total Units: 3 Heroes (including Dragon), 2 Core Units, 5 Special Units and 1 Rare Unit

WHY COLLECT THIS ARMY?

If Chariots are your thing, the High Elves can include an impressive number in their army, even at the 1,500-point level. A force like this lends a very different style of play compared to other armies, favouring a hit-and-run style of battle. This is an interesting challenge for you as a general and for your opponent, who has to deal with the fast and deadly High Elf chariots.

STRENGTHS

• Speed is on your side with this force. High Elf Chariots are among the fastest in Warhammer, and the Dragon Mage is faster still. You should be able to pick your fights against almost any foe.
  
• Long range domination. Thirty archers, plus eight longbows on the Tiranoc Chariots, plus the Repeater Bolt Thrower, plus the Reaver Bow and the Dragon breath...this army can cause serious hurt at long range.

AREAS OF CAUTION

• Anyone who has used a Chariot-based army before can testify that it's often really difficult to hold board quarters – your Chariots aren't big enough. That means you'll win or lose your battles solely by the amount of damage you can inflict on the enemy. Just as well the army is capable of wreaking havoc then, eh?

TACTIC: RAMMING SPEED

Hardly an original tactic, but effective nonetheless: pile into the enemy with your chariots as fast as possible. Use the Lion Chariot and Dragon to deal with the most dangerous foes, while the Tiranoc Chariots pair up against other regiments. Remember, you can charge 18" with a Tiranoc Chariot, so make sure you get the charge. With your missile troops, whittle down the enemy's best assets – knock off ranks of infantry blocks, take out fast units, and the like.
