Phil, you and i are like minded in this regard .

Rangers can be used instead but are more commital. The unit (and combat build army) has certain weaknesses that demand great care in list-writing and play. I agree with you here, if you are making a combat build army then you need to commit to it and write your list around this. My current list inc...

Oh the embarrassment, razor standard is above the 25 point limit. silly silly me. the flamming banner is also a good option for the WWR I agree though S5(wwR and Wild riders on the charge) is better then S3( eternal guard/ dryads). That is why i use glade guard, and glade riders as my core. But they...

I find a unit of 25-30 WWR works well in my list, with razor standard and a life mage for +2-4T makes them durable, it also helps them being in any wood as rerolling 1's to wound help.

For me they are an auto include.

Hi All, i have been racking my brains, and the rule book and i have been unable to find where it states that the Shadow dancer can take magic armour as it cannot take any mundane ones. I have seen builds with the glittering scales, which has synergism, but i cannot see how it is legal. Please help a...

Updated list, after a few battles and some forum feedback i have made some changes. 2398pts and 14.6sc Lord 255pts - 43sc Spellweaver- highmagic Lv4 forbidden rod Hero's 350pts - 26SC Shadowdancer Other trickers shard Dragon bane gem Captain BSB Light, bow, Enchanted shield,iron curse icon,opal amul...

Played my mates Dark elves today, and i can honestly say it was a combination of me, the dice and my list that provided his Khanite list with victory. But that is a great thing, as i learn more from defeat then i do from victory, i went down 17-3 but i was not tabled at least. So stay tuned for an u...

I agree, if dark or high could have been taken on our singers as well, it would have been a no brainer to include one of them with the sisters, or even on foot.

I have a game this weekend, and will give the metal weaver a run, i am also open for suggestions as where i could run my bsb as i have been thinking lately that having him , the darkweaver in my eternal guard would make for too tempting a target to concentrate fire on. I can make all the options for...

Thank you all, It has given me a lot to think about. @Coyle_Ravane - my thinking about using the lore of light , is mostly for the sig spell, it adds another magical threat to my army as would the metal sig spell. the buffs from the lore of light apart from phars protection would maily be geared tow...

Hi all ,

Many thanks for the debate,

@Phil Rossiter - I will play test your options and see which one i feel more comfortable with.

Again many thanks with the debate.

Thank you both, it is good to get differing opinions about this.

I think i will playtest between light, beasts and metal. to see how it performs .

Hi all, My current list is here http://www.asrai.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=28107 I am not sold on Lore of Light on my level 2 and i am wondering if there are better options out there. I will be honest and i am trying to stay away from Shadow and death on her. Please let me know your thoughts. Che...

Hi All, This is my current take on my combat elves, i have decided to keep the dryads in the list and add in a unit of Eternal Guard to bring the pain. I have no doubt that my list will change before the event, once i start tweaking it more , but so far this is what i have. 2397pts 14.9 SC Lords 320...

@Phazael- That is some nice synergy you just described.

Thank you all for the feedback, it has given me a lot to consider.

At this stage I am still finding my feet with my type of list, but my most recent incarnation is here http://www.asrai.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=27973

Ghoul hordes at the moment cause me some issue, but that is okay i am still finding my feet.

The unicorn mage also has my interest as well.

Hi All,

I could not find this subject with the search function, but i am interested with how others deal or avoid dealing with an opponents 40+ strong unit in the horde formation, ghouls etc.

Cheers
Lupus

Many thanks for the feedback, i am going to be making some changes to the list, dropping shadow for heavens or metal, adding in a dancer and perhaps drycha , aiming for a comp score between 15-16. Alos i may add some wardancers.

Hi All i will be attending a tournament 2400 points using the swedish system for comp. So far i have this, i am looking for options for magic item load out for my glade captains, also should i swap the eternal guard for wild wood rangers? And finally i have 315 points for hero's could i squeeze in a...

I wish i had read this post before the tournament i just attended, i encountered two vampire armies, both with a 40+ ghoul horde that i just could not counter, the first game i charged my wild riders into it and held for three turns, but the writing was on the wall at that stage. :cry: This thread h...

Thank you for the feed back Phil, i have found the combination of light and shadow a potent one as most of the spells ignores MR buffs, i have plans to split my wild riders into two regiments and i am interested into hearing more of your thoughts on the gleaming pennant use.

Cheers
Lupus.

Hi all, Many thanks on the feed back/ discussion. My current list is maxed out on my eagles and as yet i do not own any warhawk riders to use. I run said glade captain in a unit of wild riders, but i was looking at other options to expand the uses of her. I was thinking of using her for target satur...

My 2 cents would be to change the singer from beast to light and let the extra d6 hits really hurt the undead and powered up shems will be 3d6 st5 hits, but more for the Pha's protection, i have found the -1 to hit when bubbled is worth its weight in gold, or at least i prefer light to beasts, but t...
