Bretonnia 3 Wins

Played High Elves with the same list. This was a heavy Bretonnian victory though I attribute it largely to dice. I found out I was cheating with the banner of defence it only gives me a 4+ ward save versus missiles but it only would have affected 2 saves during the game.

The High Elf player had

4 repeating bolt throwers

Teclis 4th level mages special character

Khoril (white lion special character on chariot)

2 units of spearmen about 25 strong

1 10 man unit of Silver Helms

10 longbowmen

1 great eagle

So Pretty character heavy.....

Deployment

There was a large forest in the center of the the board. We both deployed most everything my left flank (his right). The only exceptions were two of his bolt throwers, his silverhelms and my Knights of the Realm.

I prayed so he got first turn. He largely stood still. The only exception being his Silver helms (SH) which swung to meet my Knights of the Realm and Prophetess on horse (KOTR) and his lion chariot with Korhil which ran foward. From turn 1 when he revealed his mage was Teclis I starting targeting the spearmen he was hanging out with. Teclis took the lore of fire an began burning down my men at arms with the damsel. I activated the Prayer Icon of Quenlles to give them a ward save. This worked out pretty well as they only took a minor beating. Teclis basically is a beast in the magic phase (much better than when I played him). He automatically casts with irresistible force with doubles on the dice giving him a 1/6 of casting automatically on two dice. He got like 4 spells off losing me some men at arms and Knights Errant (KE). My KE were too close and had to try to charge so choose to charge the Lion chariot and failed. My KOTR decided to head in front of the Silverhelms trying to get out of their line of sight but did not make it leaving them to be charged (oops). I threw a stone from the trebuchet into the Spearmen with the mage of doom and ran the men at arms forward (both units). My general and hero (both on pegs) moved behind the men at arms line.

The next turn his lion chariot charged the KE and he shot the hell outta my men at arms (good thing I have plenty). He also got a flank charge on the KOTR. His shooting kills my trebuchet. The KE beat the chariot as it only got 1 impact attack (should have been 2 its actually a 1d6+1) and the KE caught it. The KOTR remarkably beat the Silver helms in close combat but they held.  On my turn my hero and lord on peg charged the great eagle in the wood in the center and the treb and my long bowmen try to shoot the warmachines on his right to no avail. My KE charge a bolt thrower for good measure. I pump up the KOTR with +1 S and +1 T and give the hero +3 S and +3 A in the magic phase and once again beat the silver helms but they hold.

After this it gets ugly to make a long story short.... I eventually beat the Silver helms despite the fact that a lot of the KOTR explode due to a miscast. My Lord and Hero beat the sans-Teclis  spearmen and my men at arms get to the weakened spearmen unit with Teclis, beat them and run them down. In one turn I win all of these combats. My lord and hero get their pegs shot out from under them by the two bolt throwers on my left but get revenge by charging them (one each) on foot. By turn five there were no Elves on the table and I had lost 2 pegasus and a trebuchet.

Conclusions

I cheated a little with the banner but it was the difference between a 4+ and 5+ save that I only took twice I think the chariot still would have lost and ran.

Bretonnians rock!

The lore of Beasts and Life rock as well.

My army may single handedly be causing Pegasus extinction.
