Re: Weak Units

EG are something you have to build around true. It can be done but is that the style you wanted to play when you picked wood elves. I don't mind playing around with them for something different though Warhawk Rideers can be useful as protection for a character mounted on one. They can also fly aroun...

Re: First Crack at 2000pt Army

My only concern is the Ruby ring on the Rangers. You don't want to have to choose between the spell and marching. I would probably give it to the weaver.

Good luck with it.

Spellweaver on unicorn.
Illusion.
Lore familiar, Dragon slaying sword.

Go for spectral doppelganger. Just be sure to tie up their wizards so they can't dispel. Beguiling presence of the unicorn does provide some chance of survival if you whiff.

Noble builds

Well, we have a new game. And once again the wood elves will rule supreme. Time to do some theory crafting. So what are you looking to build with our nobles? Something that would be strong, or fun to play, or preferably both. Share your wisdom with us neophytes. I will start us off with a couple. Gl...

Re: My list - 2000pts

At least one more treekin would probably be helpful. And I would try to get A Befuddlement of Mischiefs into the list. Anything that helps you get off a whack with your wood is great.

Re: 1500 points (friendlies) - choosing between 2 lists

Dark to me is a little too high on the casting values and the lore attribute isn't that appealing. I have built lists with it, but I don't think it works as well as some of the other lores.

Just my opinion though for my play style. I am sure others like yourself could make it work.

Re: 1500 points (friendlies) - choosing between 2 lists

If I had to pick between the two lists, I would choose the first. An extra unit of wild riders for some combat is the main reason. Shadow is a good lore, not really a fan of dark. Heavens would be the other choice for some high strength magic. For a sister bunker for the mage, you would want at leas...

Re: Masters pell list

I would like to add some points here (which are probably wrong, but I will anyway). First off, in general, you have too many drops. Wood elves benefit more than most armies from going first. You really want to limit the number of drops you have to get the best chance of getting the bonus to the roll...

I have run one as well. Very survivable for the most part.

I use the 4++ talisman and the crown of command. Nice to try and bait in a charge that you can then counter charge.

Re: 2500pts. "Snipers Paradise" Help Needed

If you are going with waystalkers, 3 is the way to go. The one issue I have is the acorn. You aren't running a moonstone, and don't really need the extra forests. They are nice to have, but I think you would be better off tooling up your mage for protection.

Just my view.

Re: 3000 That's a lot of units...

Waystalkers are fine, but if you are going to run them, you need at least two. Preferably three at this point level. One isn't going to do too much by himself. Three firing at the same target will do some hurt.

Re: 2nd attempt of dispelling

The FAQ is referring to dispelling remains in play spells. So if you try to dispel a remains in play spell with power dice on your turn for example, and you fail, you can't use any remaining power dice to try again.

Very nice report. Loved the pics and turn descriptions. Just a couple of points about your first turn. First, it is detonation, not feedback on the miscast table that hits all models in base contact. And the wizard is not hit. So in your situation, nobody would have taken a wound. Secondly, measure ...

Re: Doubt about some special formations (one column formatio

You can receive any number of wounds (up to the maximum number of attacks targetted against you). What the column does though is restrict the number of models that can attack you. In the case of 10 Eternal Guard vs. 25 Lancers (cavalry) only two cavalry models will be able to attack, plus the two i...

Re: Multiple charge bonus?

Zack is pretty close. The only part thats wrong is getting a bonus for both flanks. You can only ever get +1 for flanking even if you have units on both sides. Its on page 59 if you care for confirmation.
