Re: Wood Elves of the Great Forest

Just a quick question. How much count Beastkin Kindred as affected by Beast's Anger? Is he UNDER this spell and it is only impossible to dispell it, or is he have just the same effect as from the spell? It is unclear if he can (or can not) be affected by regular Beast's Anger cast by some wizard. An...

Re: Wood Elves of the Great Forest

*On other hand to Scouts, far raiders seems to be pretyt much weaker that WR (no call of hunt, no fury of kurnous, no ItP, no 5+ natural ward save, the same armor, lover S if not on charge...) that 26 vs 26 points indicates! Lance is valuable, they are Fast Cavalry and they can flee, they get Talis...

Re: Wood Elves of the Great Forest

OK, so here is my think: The army seems to be very nice, I have even more "WElfish" feeling that from original WE :) Few things I think about: Magic weapons *Glaive of Oberon seems to be a little to costly for what it can do. *While this army shoots a lot, why is Bow of Loren (or any varia...

Re: Facing tactical charge

Scouts and WW are slow, but they have the Scout special rule (with nice addition in WW case) which can compensate they Mv5 :) BTW this topic is not mean to discusse how to use GR or other units to cover your skirmishers, but how to deal with tactical charge directed against your skirmishers; or how ...

Facing tactical charge

Hallo, after some of my current battles, I become tired from tons of tactical charges aimed on my skirmishers. So I start thinking about how to stop them, and how to use them. I come with some ideas how to limit them; and sometimes how to use them to my own benefit. Right now I am starting work on a...

No, I was actually was talking about how you massacred him, so even if I saw a problem, whatever you did worked :D. As for the failed fear test, WR only cause fear ON THE CHARGE and so his charge should have been successful. -Seth Yeah, I know it. Problem was, my opponent declare he needs to pass L...

Re: Seth..heya... that's not Sethayla? o.O (1999)

Honestly, I don't know. I normally would do +20 Glade Riders, but I'm wanting to surprise my friends a bit with a 'different' list without losing the Sethayla theme. Since I have a solid 1500 point army, and no Special or Rare slots left, a ton of Dryads just seemed like something I could do that w...

My article is about Sethayla, the Mage hunting is jus...

Re: Forest Spirits

I think 20 is good value. Glamourvawe and Wild Raider kindreds are 20, but with additional restrictions. This item will have no additional restrictions, but: * with kindred, you still have 50/100 free points for spites/items, with this item just 30/80 * if this will be spite, you can not take additi...

Few dayes ago, I have my first battle against new HElves. I bring my experimental fast army, and my opponent bring army he will use on a tourney next week. He take this match as preparations for the tourney. I was hoping to try slightly altered list and some strategy and tactics ideas I have (mostly...

Re: The Year of the Wood Elf, 2250 Tournament All-Comers List

There are couple of mystakes in your list:

5 Glade raiders + Muso aren't 120, but 129 points
2nd Alter is not 158, but 152 points, because you cannot take both common light armor and Briarsheath (which is light armor itself).

Re: MSU Eternal Guard

I think you forgot one important think in comparsion EG to Dryads: skirmish

Dryads are -1 to hit by shooting, BUT opponent can use tactical charge against them. This is GREAT WEAK POINT for dryads. On other hand, EG can be used for redirecting, something dryads never can do

Re: Scroll Caddies

Your argument about taking 2 WhR units in exhange for one caddy seems pretty pointless to me; I cant remember too much of WElfish armies which will not use all of it's special slots. In that case, you can take only core units, what, in terms of mage hunting, means GR units. And in terms of efficienc...

Re: Two 2.5k all-comers lists

For the 129 pts you'd pick up from the Glade Riders, I'd invest in a 7 model squad of Wardancers. They add a good amount of punch, as well as the ability to make your opponent bug out when he sees them down on the table. I understand your point, but... Problem is that another unit of WD would mean ...

Re: Two 2.5k all-comers lists

I think this list is way too heavy on Glade Riders, and would take out at least one squad to add some balance to the list. I add the 3rd unit of GR just after last battle, till now I play with 2 units of 6. I wish to test this, but you probably can be right. Which unit or changes will you advice me...
