Out of Stock Armybook

I know I am not the fastest or most active Wood Elf Player (and a constant Asrai.org lurker). Last week I was just 1 day to late in the store and now it's out of stock at GW. Has GW underestimated the number of slumbering woodies or is this usual ? Am I the only 1 on the forum being too slow ? I hop...

Re: What is your favorite allied army?

Brettonians,
In a small teamed battle (1600 points) having a cheap BSB + magic in a hard hitting knight bus is nice.
The trebuchet helps out too (making enemy characters hide).

Re: Which of the 8 lores would you use?

In an ETC list Lore of shadow on lvl 4 and a Branchy with Beast did really well for me.
Altough magic wasn't the key factor (having 200 extra points, real ward saves and asf was )

Re: 800pt need help

You might see the ocassional level 4, and yes that may ruin everything. Just try and find your style.
At 800 points Wood Elves work like magic in almost any setup.

Re: 800pt need help

So far I have had no one redirect my big block. :ninja: It's 800 points so both side have problems facing everything. The big block will take on everything and crash trough most expendable units in a full round. With the eagle or a unit dryads available you can easily avoid getting caught at a disad...

Re: 800pt need help

A Branchwraith with extra dispel dispel and the AON would be a safe choice for a general in a dryad unit and does leave enough points to fill in the core. 1 unit of GG is a must have if only for the ...

Re: From the horses' mouth - Empire VS Asrai.

Empre doesn't need a fully tailored list to WE to win. A STank is enough to dictate the field of battle. WE wil avoid it at almost all cost and it will give your other units enough benefit to win (WE will avoid getting stuck in combat anywhere the Stank can go with 1 movement and a charge). In play ...

Re: An average ganmer's thoughts on 8th edition WE

I played one game against Dark Elves. I must agree on almost every point. Treekin is the killing unit we needed. It does wonders against a lot of things, altough you need to keep them a bit in cover so the big x-bows and ballista's won't kill them too fast and against elite unit's you need some furt...
