Game two: Actually my first Mirrormatch in 8th edition, WE just don't seem to be so popular any more... ;). Anyways enemy army was roughly: Spellweaver, 4+ ward, elm staff BSB, HoDA Branchwraith, +1 dispel dice, netlings 3x10 GG, one unit with banner of eternal flame 2x12 Dryads, C 15 Wardancers, C ...

Muchas Gracias!

So I'll just jump in and kick some Skaven tails...

Can anyone give me a short walkthrough on how the campaign does work? I saw the old map, background, factions and so on, but what are the "rules" the "mechanics" to organise a campaign over different countries and places? How can you participate (meaning interact) exactly? Do you...

Fifth Warlords Tournament in Basel The Warlords are one of two active warhammer clubs in the northwestern region of Switzerland and they were organizing a small but very nice one day Warhammer tournament last week end. There was another (bigger) tournament in Switzerland at the same time and so the ...

@Shandrakor: Thanks for your input, that is most welcome indeed. Dispel Scroll is surely better than Ranu's, 25 points to kill of one entire enemy magic phase (in 90%) is a joke even more so when compared to the other "dispel scrolls" from the rulebook. I was about to switch the dispel scr...

Short time to go to the tournament and I had to do some changes. The final army looks like this. The units are basically the same, the big units of dryads is because of one of the scenarios (modified watchtower). BSB may take shield (due to comp pack). Spellweaver, lvl4, Ranu's Heartstone, Lore of B...

Kind of digging out a dead topic, but I hope it still is ok, as it would help me keep my army lists, my thoughts and hopefully your advice and input on both of them together in one spot. So here we go: I'll play a small tournament in about a week and I think wood elves even got a fair comp system. I...

I am no one to go nitpicking for rules or searching for loopholes. But to assume the HoDA is a weapon because of semantics (Arrow) seems a bit far fetched. One should approach this problem regarding warhammer as what it is (a game) and not as a simulation of reality (where an arrow is a part belongi...

@Bogi: Good luck for the ETC. In my eyes your army is the most ambitious and and most elaborated wood elf army for the tournament. I would personally do some small things different in your approach (besides not having the idea and the guts myself to try out a wood elf flying circus in such a nasty t...

@lowb: - Machine gun is nice played in waywatchers, but should never leave the main line too much. Actually you cannot even deploy him in waywatchers except if you buy the kindred (which would be a silly waste of points) and so staying back with your main host and taking out incoming knights while s...

The ultimate highborn build... First take a highborn and give him whatever equipment you think is best Then buy magic equipment for him. As much as you can Maybe even a kindred and a mount Then build your army as you wish (and don't use any "nice toys" just go for effectivity) Afterwards l...

Any Lords and Heroes? If not: Use a treeman as ancient. And even if you could not go out (use home shopping to get a magician and a BSB) :D. Besides that: As there are no great Eagles, I would recommend to use some glade riders as bait and flee units. And as you have 2500 points to fill, you can use...

I think Bogi has some interesting and really thoroughly thought trough points. To me there are only a few things that speak against using two spellweavers. A) Using an ancient or highborn (and although I really really love the highborn, lets be honest, even in a elaborated setup (machine gun, some n...

How does COMP in Sweden look like. Would be really interesting to see what systems are used around the world. So, if any of you have a link to (or the rules of) some "interesting" or "balanced" or "often used" COMP system wherever you are playing Warhammer, please send ...

Problem about the ETC restrictions regarding shooting simply is, that every other shooty army has some kind of (quite effective) warmachines, and most put some devastating magic on top, while Woodelves have to stick to BS shooting and maybe risking their general for a lucky dweller. So the restricti...

I copied Jer732's version of the movement tray for my dryads. The only thing I changed is, that I used/made a magnetized version of it. Thanks again for the inspiration and the tipp with the plasticard, it was easy to create, workes really well and looks pretty neat (at least in my eyes). Picture pr...

@Moose123: Thanks for clarification, I was mixing up some rules as human sized characters on monstrous beasts can be shot down with killing blow. Sad thing is, we will face another unit where we have no cost effective counter unit. @all: I took Jer732 advice on how to make neat movement trays for my...

near naked nobles on steeds for 93 points (LA, SH, Mount, LA) to perform very similiar roles to an eagle but with a 4+ AS, smaller footprint, vanguard, flee/rally to still move next turn, 1 str 3 bow shot a turn and GREAT synergy with a beastweaver. Problem: Still only 2 wounds, no decent armour, n...

The treeman is very nice as are your other minatures. I really like the different shades of the bark. The eagle rider (and those flyer bases) are simply amazing and you even put some fish in the sea :D. What did you use for the riders legs? Gladerider legs and green stuff? I was thinking about a con...

@Anathir: A very good post and summary of good thinking about wood elves. I can subscribe most of what you have written from my own expierience, but still would like to add one point, where my opinion differs. Not to say you were "wrong", but to show the thought behind an alternative (whic...

@Tribun: Thanks for your kind words and nice to read you over here. @Moose: Yeah, model wise we really have a nice range and a good variety to choose from. I really like some of the old models too and what I like most, there are so many possibilities to give ones army a personal touch by modifying m...

Nice to see someone trying double spellweavers. I have the concept on my "to do list" for quite a while, but as I can't play regularly right now, it might take some time until I will be able to do my games. Regarding the game against the Daemons (although I know I am quite late): I knew th...

The first WIP unit looks great and I am sure the army will be an amazing sight on the battlefield. Take your time and stick to your concept. I am not sure if I wold do the "fly around a tree" positioning with all three units, that could make them look pretty much the same, even if you chan...

@Imp: Thank you for your kind words. @Ravenlord: SeanyPrawny is right. They are simply the old models. No costum builds here (sadly I am barely able to fill gaps with green stuff :D). I did put one of the new models on a costum base, the left one in the last picture, but that was simply by glueing i...

I really like the new special daily promotion skin. It makes my miniatures in the meadow of arts look way better .
