16. There are many different seasons to paint Wood Elves in (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter). Have you decided on any, and if so, which? Either spring or Winter, hard to tell. Does this have any baring on the rules? Although there was once an article on the GW website (you can still find it in Wayb...

Well you do have a couple of options form GW: If you have a rider already you can get just a unicorn from Games Workshop. I don't think it's under any particular army so you have to use the search bar on their website to find it. (just search Unicorn) http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/produc...

You seem to have picked up on what is good quickly: Lifeweaver, BSB, Dryads, GG, Tree-Kin and Great Eagles. The one thing I really take issue with is the Treeman Ancient. He's naked! We can't have people running around nude, now can we? Seriously though, give him an Annoyance of Netlings and watch h...

Some of this stuff is amazing. I especially like the converted Treeman (first one); seems to me a tree man should be a huge thing like that, not a skinny little thing like the GW one.

It doesn't make that rule moot at all. You don't have to have a single character in the unit with the Slaan to let the Slaan be in the second rank. For everyone else you have to have multiple characters in the same unit to bump a character to the second rank. You pay for what you get. Not to mentio...

I cant quote an exact rule on this, its more sort of a read between the lines thing but if all wizards could cast from the second rank of a unit it would sort of make the Guardians special rule for Slann Mage-Priests moot? (that's the rule that allows them to cast spells when in the second rank of a...

Man, how did you get the model for Scaw? I collect old fantasy character miniatures and I have looked and looked for him on eBay and elsewhere and never been able to get a hold of one.

Love the old WE horses BTW, they seem so much more elfy to me than the newer ones.

Even though you may want to go for an evil look I would remove the spikes on the the Unicorn's legs and the ones coming out of the ground: they make it look TOO evil.

So I am looking at a new conversion idea for a character, problem is I have next to no experience working with metal models. I have built lots as they are intended but I have never tried cutting, sculpting features on em etc. Basically I want to remove the head of the model pictured below (Lokhir Fe...

The painting is actually not too bad, decent tabletop quality anyways. The eyes need to be more precisely done. On the leaves it looks like you highlighted the edges which is good; but I think they could use some more work; they still appear flat somehow. If you want the spirally tattoos to show up ...

Horses are a challenge to learn and I certainly understand how you could have some difficulty at first. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube for this if you search up "how to paint Warhammer horses"; watch a few, find a final product you like and follow the instructions. I have never fou...

For fluff ideas: I seem to remember something from the Lizardmen army book about them travelling all over the world to fight Chaos. I don't seem why Wood Elves couldn't do the same thing, except with a Gaea/Nature focus. Things like the Moonstone of the Hidden Ways already suggest that Wood Elf mag...

The final paragraph on page 12 of the AB mentions forest spirits turning against the WE in battles against Beastmen. Drycha and Coeddil were exposed to Chaos and they also turned on the Wood Elves. I don't see Wood Elves marching all the way up to the the Chaos Wastes to fight Chaos; aside from the ...

Other things to consider, is this is a hero model. Always nice to see them looking sharp I definitely am going to put more effort into this model than my GG or EG. I think I might paint up a few GG with the same scheme to try out some of of those ideas since this isn't really a replaceable model an...

So this is the colour scheme I have been thinking of for my Wood Elves. I am fairly happy with it except for the cloak. Right now it is just Scab Red, does anyone have any fairly easy ways of highlighting red cloaks (easy since I have about 80 more to go). The other thing is the eyes. I am having a ...

One thing about Lizardmen: in their newest edition the Slann decided that the Old Ones intended elves not to exist outside of Ulthuan and that they "must be repelled from every land...forced to reside together in the golden realm created for them." In other words the Slann want to force th...

I would sure like to hear about that eagle trick Kulgan. My buddy has been running doomwheels against me in every of our games recently and I have a hell of a time dealing with them. Generally I try to inflict as many wounds as I can on it outside of combat by magic/shooting (maybe he will roll a 1 ...

Yes, most players that I encounter seem to have lot their respect for WE's as a viable force. Wood Elves are not exactly the easiest army to play on a good day. Ideally WE are an offensive, mobile army with elite, low save troops; unlike some armies we can't just run all over the board without a sem...

Well I recently made a forest to fit large units of Glade Guard. It has 4 trees that look similar to Birch. The trees are specifically placed to avoid interference with the GG ranks but still appear randomly placed at a glance. The narrow trunks help avoid blocking LOS for my shooting and when an en...

I suppose we could have used those rules but we never thought of it when we devised these rules. The reason we initially came up with the whole panic thing was we felt the shot unit should be treated similar to a unit being shot at normally.

Hmm... In that case I have to come up with something new. Perhaps the unit is so focused on the combat they do not panic. Instead kills are added to next combat resolution. I guess this is one of the problems with house rules, they can often cause conflicts with regular rules.

Ah, but units which are being shot at do. I accidentally posted before I was finished, I think it is more clear now. Unless there is some rule I am unaware of that specifically does not allow panic tests for units in CC; I am just getting familiar with eighth.

My gaming friends and I often play games with 3-4 sides. Like Shadrakor suggested we use a house rule for this. The way we do it is this: Firing into Combat A player may elect to fire into a combat if there are 2 or more enemy units involved and no friendly units. Players may never fire into a chall...

I have never found a larger WE community (in English at least) other than general forums like Librarium that have WE sections.

The conversion is nice. The replacement dryad arms really add some character to the models (I'm not much of a fan of the basic tree kin models). Over the past few weeks I have been trying to come up with a good way of leafing the bases for a new autumn themed army I have been building and your metho...
