This month it's back to basics again, we want you all to show off the true core units of your WE armies. The theme therefore is: Unit of Glade Guard And I'm certain the viewers will appreciate banners flying, the sound of horns being blown, and the elegant swords of the wood elves raised menacingly ...

August 2010 : Herald : Mounted model

Congratulations, Baardah, another scalp in your well filled belt! I ought to add that there were many great entries this time, and very hard (for me, at least) to pick a winner. Thanks, folks!

Thank you all for fantastic entries! This contest is up for voting.

Have a look here: http://www.asrai.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18585, Sylvos has built his whole WR unit on the Hordes models.

Shouldn't the eagle take a panic test from the scouts breaking from combat? Result of the throw of dice "2d6" : 4 + 4 = 8 Shaken, but not stirred... I'm not sure about fleeing from combat, has this changed from 7:th ed? I don't think so. I've been trying hard to erase 7th from memory late...

If you're not 'really' a modeller, then sculpting your own treekin is a perfect way to start. You can start with wire, sticks, plastic sprues or whatever material you like, and whatever you end up with, it will be almost for free and just as good as the expensive GW models...

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" : 3 + 3 = 6 Caught Result of the throw of dice "2d6" : 5 + 2 = 7 Miraculously escape! :smirk: Result of the throw of dice "5d6" : 6 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 5 Ouch! The Hydra eats 2 of them. The way I understand direction of flight (centre-centre...

Another dead birdie, indeed. :) Result of the throw of dice "12d6" : 6 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 3 8 hits Result of the throw of dice "8d6" : 3 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 2 + 1 5 S4 wounds! He might actually fail a save... :sexy: WRs vs Warriors combat Result of the th...

Stunning work! Certainly an inspiration for everyone.

I have another Dryad to spare and 3 Glade Riders. What would you recommend to expand to 2500 if I wanted or to give options at 2000? I was thinking more Dryads and turning the Noble to a Highborn. Maybe a Battalion instead if I can spare some more money. It depends on what kind of army you want. AT...

Result of the throw of dice "4d6 +4" : 4 + 5 + 2 + 6 + 4 = 21 Result of the throw of dice "6d6 +4" : 3 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 4 = 25 Sorry. Crossbows fire at the last warhawk, long range and moved so 6+ Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you get -1 for shooting multiple shots as ...

Welcome to the forest, Dave! :) 11. What type of army would you like? Speed? Shooting? Magic? Monsters? speed and shooting .....payback on all those gunline armies i detest!! :evil: The best of reasons! :thumbsup: 23: Is there something else we should know about you before we start to dissect your p...

A shame to see that magnificent army go, Thindol!

I did notice the ad saying 'ships to Canada' only. Was that intentional? I just can't see how that would be very beneficial...

Bulking out your men at arms unit is probably a good idea, giving you a cheap tarpit. Pegasus knights are fantastic, 1-2 units of 3-4 gives you a lot of control of the battlefield. Trebuchets are popular, and Damsels a must, I believe. Other than that, it's mostly knights, knights and more knights.....

Welcome to the forest, Wargamer! :) Reading through your post here and having just answered your 'wood elf questions', I must add that a lot of the good/bad armies/units discussions on the web relate to fairly competitive gaming environments. If you are mostly going to be playing your brother, I'd s...

1. Why are they not so great by most players? -WE got hit by the rule changes to 8th edition. Our playstyle has been altered, but the army is not as bad as many people believe. 2. How do they play? I suspect a big long range game to wither opponents down before they hit you and let the combat unit g...

Firstly, I noticed what I think are some small errors in your moves: -I believe the GG would end up almost 2 inches to the right of where they are now, fleeing along the centre to centre line. -Under the new rules, the Black Guard is not allowed to wheel backwards, only straight moves can be execute...

The Glade Guard will flee: Result of the throw of dice "2d6" : 5 + 3 = 8 Which takes them down to the tower, I'll have to check if they need to be moved over and take DT tests. Edit: The angle takes them well clear, of course. Do you redirect? Panic check for the Eagle: Result of the throw...

Sorry for my rules mistakes, but I haven't played that many 8:th ed games and don't have the books so I'm still learning. No sweat, I'm still learning as well. :) (Seriously, I'm learning a lot from this charge sequence alone. Like placing scouts for instance... One thing is knowing the rules, anot...

As far as I can tell, you can only choose to Hold against an overrun charge, as explained on pg. 58, Pursuit into a new enemy. I haven't seen anything specific regarding overruns and charges, but BRB refers to it being a pursuit move, and under Pursuit into a new enemy, that is how it is spelled out...

Result of the throw of dice "2d6" : 3 + 1 = 4 Nope, another one bites the dust. Result of the throw of dice "4d6" : 4 + 6 + 3 + 5 4 hits... Result of the throw of dice "4d6" : 4 + 1 + 3 + 3 Witches are gone. Result of the throw of dice "3d6-L" : 6 + 1 + 1 (-1...

Welcome to the forest, Heidi.

There is an interrogation form stickied in the Glade, why don't you fill it out and let us know a bit more about you?

23: Is there something else we should know about you before we start to dissect your personal life? I hope that you will share the results of your dissection with me. :D Hmm, let's see. A 30 year old teacher from Brooklyn, calling himself naïve, and enjoying a hobby that his friends scorn... Sounds...
