me and my friend are going to play in a double tourney together. We will both play high elves.
there is a few restrictions for the tourney:
maximum 2 characters each
no rare
no unit can cost more than 250 point
no power scrolls
no folding fortress
no number 6 spells.
heres my list:
lords:
prince w/ elven steed, heavy armour and great weapon. 186p
heroes:
noble w/ barded elven steed, heavy armour and great weapon. 113p
core:
10 spearmens, banner. 100p
10 spearmens, banner. 100p
special:
8 dragon princes, musician 250p
total: 749p

here is my friends list:
heroes:
mage lvl 2(shadow or life) annulian crystal, 175p
core:
20 spearmens, full command, 205p
special:
13 swordmasters, FC, 225p
lion chariot, 140p
total 745p... 5 points left what to do?
the idea here is to have a deathstar with knights that just kill everything the mage goes with the swordsmasters and buffs them. do you think this is going to work? all critics are welcomed!

The limiting of Folding Fortress and Power Scroll seems to be popping up a lot but the restrictions on unit points and no 6th spell?
Seems a bit cheesy to me....
Cheap Horde armies are going to totally dominate you. You can get 50+ Gobbos w/Fanatic or 2 or 100+ Slaves for that and they will just mow through anything your expensive elites can mount.
Only chance you would have would be a big boom spell and, conveniently, those are disallowed.
I would say, with the limitations that you have, go more defensive and ramp up a lot of shooting and bigger units.
Your partners list is ok. With yours I would say combine the Spears and put the noble on foot.
Drop DPs to 5 and try to get a min unit of archers or a bolt thrower in there if you can manage.

what you say makes sense :) but the DPs aren't really that good in small groups so I consider dropping them for and the noble for a unit of SMs or WLs as they will probably fair better.
