r/WarhammerWoodElves

Hello all!

As I learn the rules of the games, I chose wood elves to be my go to army (I love the models) even tho people told me they are hard to play. As someone who learns better when playing, I have an introduction game coming and I asked for 2k points instead of 1k...I've played a couple of wargames already (40k, aos, asoiaf) so I feel kinda confident I can take the 2k.

Anyways I made an army list for my first game, but even tho is my first game, I want to have at least a decent list, so any tips here is appreciated. Thanks!

I assume you want trueflight arrows on units that move a lot (riders, maybe scouts) or is that wrong? And on glade guard do folks prefer hagbane or arcane bodkins?

Putting aside the movement issue with branchwraiths not getting the same movement as dryads;

If I want to embed one in a unit of dryads, does it need to have the same base size? Or does it not really matter?

Edit:

for clarification, I put my dryads on 25mm bases, but the branch-wraith came with a 30mm base.

Did I make a mistake here?

What do folks suggest as unit sizes for wardancers and Warhawks?

My friend and I are working out the lore for his Bretonnians and my Woodelves and why they'd be in conflict. I don't know enough about Oldworld lore to place my faction, but it should be near Bretonnian territory. So my hopes for this post:

Where would make sense for these Elves to exist, and if you have any ideas you think would be cool for this faction I'd love to hear them.

My pitch: Scattered villages who cooperate for their survival, they are coastal elves who live in a redwood forest (see: Muir Woods / Endor). He was nice enough to buy me Araloth, incorporating him would be cool.

In our heads, the Brettonians would be attempting to harvest some of these Sequoias, which the Woodelves have named individually as they are all extremely old growth, so battles around logging camps, sawmills, and beaches would be the setting.

I'm planning on using the Stag cavalry. If I end up incorporating Treemen, I'd paint them as Redwoods.

The color scheme is a light ocean blue(main) , a sandy beige (armor), sequoia red(weapons), and a fern green(trim).

Thanks Everyone! Excited to be a part of this setting.

Hello everyone, I’m entering a tournament, but I’m struggling with making a list at the 750pt list. Does anyone have a list they would suggest?

Hey brothers and sisters of athel loren. So, i got myself a wood elf army because i love elves of the old world and now i have some games under my belt, the thing is I'm getting stomped by pretty much anyone in my local store.

My usual game goes like this: a couple of turns of shooting followed by dying when my opponent gets to make its charges.

We have an ongoing campaign and this is my list. Maybe can you help me figure out how to bring out the best of the units?

234 - Glade Lord, Great Weapon, An Annoyance of Netlings, General, Great Stag, Talisman Of Protection

129 - Spellsinger, Elven Steed, Wizard Level 1, Elementalism, Ruby Ring of Ruin

135 - 10 Dryads, Nymph

120 - 10 Glade Guard, Arcane Bodkins

120 - 10 Glade Guard, Arcane Bodkins

132 - 6 Glade Riders, Arcane Bodkins, Ambushers, Reserve Move

153 - 3 Tree Kin

Thank you!
