Whil...I think you miss the point of Illusionist...<br /><br />While you don't have direct damage spells, you do have glow. So if you have an entire warband of archer or crossbowmen you can kill thing really fast. So an illusionist list is actually a better assassin list than Elementalist. <br /><br />Plus you have utility spells that are cheap like transpose. So you swap someone with a warhound and shoot him with a bunch of arrows. DEAD. <br /><br />Not to mention Invisibility largely invalidates most of elementalist spells. You also can take blinding light from Thaumaturge on a 12, which stops you from casting LOS spells. So you throw some life at it and a good roll keeps your mage from casting ALL game. And you can throw life at it since you have access to heal on a 10. Soothsayer can either give you the +1 to Initiative or some like forget spell or mind control. <br /><br />I think Elementalist, is strong as a single unit blaster with some hard battle field control, but elementalist have some of the most expensive warbands and also don't really have many ways to buff them which leaves them pretty one dimensional. deFl0https://www.blogger.com/profile/16397062688339638832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246194063827858977.post-18703034483542984442016-03-26T23:02:14.159+00:002016-03-26T23:02:14.159+00:00Another boost for the Elementalist is that his dir...Another boost for the Elementalist is that his direct killing spells (eg Elemental bolt: unlimited range barring line of sight, +8!!! attack on target) pull in a lot of extra experience (40 for killed soldiers, 80 for apprentices and 160 for wizards.

However, it is useful to get a bit more of an idea about the strategy of warband construction. So at least I wont build the worst possible configuration...<br />David Dragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196258661144546430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246194063827858977.post-51984405407694878162015-11-22T09:55:20.283+00:002015-11-22T09:55:20.283+00:00This is very useful and you've saved me a job!...This is very useful and you've saved me a job! I've only played one test game so far so I can't add anything useful just yet. But I'll sure use your analysis to build my first 'proper' caster and report back.

By which I mean I chose the Witch since the miniature looked like a witch, and then chose spells that suited her style. I of course then went with spells that she would actually be able to cast, but that was my last consideration.

Leap is a spell worth looking at again, I tend to cast it 2 or 3 times each game. Guys carrying treasure move at half speed but leap at full distance and you can leap them off table and over walls. (but you cannot leap them 10 inches into the air and let them plumet to their death by taking falling damage! (I know I looked it up)) Raise zombie is Ok but steal health is better as at the moment you have no healing ability what so ever.<br /><br />At the end of the day it is your choice entirely and I am VERY sure others will offer their own choices. Nothing wrong with yours but remember other players are trying to hurt you!Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.com
