Wizard army
The purpose of this army is to have an elite using or an powerful magic
based enemy. Chaos and Undead are two examples. This army would work
against High elves too but I would drop the priest as he is here for the
Hatred ability. In your own magic phase you will have X magic dice plus
any in the rod and in the opponent's magic phase you will have 6 dispel
dice plus any in the rod. The Lord should have Fire magic and the mage
should take Heavens magic. The 2nd sign of Amul is a must!! Use the
priest's spells either last to ensure the low power spells are cast or
first in order to use up dispel dice of your opponent.

Adopt a defensive position and so you can blast the enemy as he
advances. Deploy the Captain-led Halberdiers to be across from any enemy
wizards in units. The Captain's job is to get into base to base with any
wizards. If no wizards are in units then have him leave the unit at some
opportune moment. He is a mage hunter and must get into base to base.
Don't forget the 360 degree charge radius for lone models on foot!! Use
the knights as reserve and have the flagellants hold up any large
dangerous units. Hopefully the mage lord gets the wall of fire spell. This
will allow you to hold up another unit and still be able to fire at them.
