Question about Wood Elf army composition
Posted: 01 Jun 2013, 09:18
Hey, I tried searching around for specific answers, but I was unable to find anything, I don't own the Codex yet and I won't be able to get it for a while (I prefer to buy models first) however I'm trying to build an army that is viable fluff-wise and I was hoping for help, warning: there will be some rambling.
Okay, so originally I was going to make my Wood Elf army a snow themed one, but then I found out if I do that I can't use Dryads (Apparently they slumber during the winter or something) So that went out quickly, after that I decided to do either a Summer or Spring themed army.
I love: Eternal Guard (Favorite Unit), Glade Guard, Drayds, Wild Riders (Second Favorite), Great Eagles, Wardancers, Waywatchers and Treemen/kin (...okay, so basically everything in the army) but I don't know what can be put with what.
For example, apparently during the Summer Eternal Guard are busy guarding the Queen's Court and that's when the Wild Riders are out gallivanting around trying to hunt down their quarry, would it be possible for both of these units to be in the same army?
I don't know much about Wild Riders outside of the hunt, but they don't really seem like, fluff-wise, they would fit into any armies that don't include Orion/are based on a summer theme, and even then at that point the Eternal Guard would be guarding the queen wouldn't they?
Sorry, but basically I'm trying to ask: Is it possible to use Eternal Guard and Wild Riders in the same list without breaking fluff and then if you can, what other units can fit into that army as well.
Thanks in advance for any advice that can be given.
