so which one death with bane head or light or life with the other list. I really want to take death but someone thats going to this tournement is taking 2 banshees 5 hexwraiths and 3 spirit hosts and light has missles to deal with most of them death doesnt. But then i may not end up playing that guy anyway.

personally i don't like death because it has only short range spells and you haven't got so many close combat units, so you need to take a lore wich can help your units in combat or that kills some more enemy models than one per spell. The number six of death is nice, but quite dangerous for your slann too. You could go with light, that is a lore that has everithing (wonderful buffs and magic missiles, and a nice hex)
on the other side life is more defensive: the choice depends from your combat style.
shadow is good too, but a bit situational in my opinion
but consider heavens too: the tipical spell is great against ranged attacks (even if not as much as numer one of light), number one is nice, expecialy with skinks, because you improve the probabilities of poisoned shots, n° 2 is completely useless, n°3 is nice, and great against units with killing blow or poison, n°4 is good because of strenght 6 that means you can use it even against monsters or lone characters, casandora is great against warmachines or to protect a sector of the table where your enemy mustn't go, n°6 is a better n°4

I'd base it off your meta,

Death sounds pretty good if your meta is alot of characters or low ld monsers. But the number 6 spell is basically a writeoff. 1/6 chance to lose 450 pts + general + bsb + lvl 4. I don't think so.

If your facing hordes then you need a number 6 spell to deal with that so I'd go life

But considering all things equal I prefer light. The magic missiles are great, pha protection vs gunlines, speed of light destroys everything (would do amazing things for the kroxigors, hitting on 3's is huge for them)

 

[forlustria]

yeah i think light would be good. would you drop anything to fit in cupped hands or do i just suck it up and not worry about miscasts.

 

[Eladimir]

Cupped hands is a near must of you do death or light and your in temple guard.
If you go Life i'd drop it.

 

[forlustria]

ok that means i need to drop the scroll and something else from the list

 

[Ferocious]

if u plan to put ur slann in ur tg bunker, only two options; life or light; caus u need the 12inch bubble and stuff


if u go any other lore, the tg arent good enough caus ull get plenty miscasts
