How can i make a balanced battle using my current wood elves

Post by martinalexander »

I currently have basically a wanderer host, i am looking to play some at home age of sigmar skirmishes against my housemate with my current army, what would be a balanced force matchup? i can proxy some glade guard into glade lord / standard bearer / arolath / waywatchers etc

10 Eternal Guard
10 Wildwood Rangers
24 Glade Guard
8 Glade Riders
Spell Weaver

soon to purchase Glade lord and hunting hounds x5. later on sisters of the thorn

I was thinking,
army A
15 Glade guard and a glade lord and glade captain standard, 7 waywatchers

army B
10 Eternal Guard, 10 Wildwood Rangers, spell weaver and 8 glade riders

any thoughts? feel free to include the hunting hounds if you like

Looks good to me, hide everything you can behind the eternal guard and cast mystic shield on them!

Certainly a nice little host you have there, I see no real drawbacks..

The only thing I would say is that you might have to play defensively, with lots of counter attack and draw the enemy toward youu.

I would say Sisters of the Thorn for your Eternal Guard are your next consideration. Mystic Shield, Shield of Boughs and Shield of the Thorn makes them unlikely to be moved.

Also a Spellweaver on a Purebread can keep up with the Sisters of the Thorn and heal them is a good choice.
