8th Ed. best lore - light or life - against DE and HE

[rhysap]

best against dark elves and best aginst high elves (with teclis)

 

[Scalenex]

Light removes the advantage of elves have against Lizardmen (high WS, BS, and I) by evening the odds.

Life capitalizing on the weakness of High Elves (low S and T) by making your troops harder to wound and killing droves with Dwellers.

I can't figure out which I like better in general, but extenuating circumstances push me towards Light.

My most frequent elven opponent is a big fan of the Lore of Shadows in general and against LM in general (because of our low Intiative scores). Speed of Light with a 12" radius defends against both Pit of Shades and the Penumbral Pendulum quite well.

 

[Lord Tsunami]

there is not really any wrong choice here. either life or light will do great.

 

[Kharn The Betrayer]

Personally I like light as it takes away their re rolls, and because +4 earth blood isn't any better than +2 vs those Girly elves
