Warhammer High Elves - Episode 1 - Review of Core Troops

[WarGamersof40K]

What I find good is to get a large group of 50, with all of them able to attack, becuase horde rule, having spears, and martial prowness.

[Toddthedidger]

I like the red and white look. I'm sick of seeing high elves always being blue!

[kornickronic]

@Toddthedidger Red looks evil tho D:

[kingnikolaj]

@kornickronic No its up to the one who is painting..Well in my eyes

[tentaklossus]

I just bought IoB starter pack, after a decade of warhammer break, and i really enjoyed this guide, in terms of how to expand my (brand new) high elf collection. Thanks! And keep it coming, if you can.

[Sinanthir]

Man i really miss silver helms being a core choice...dunno why they changed to special...they're not that special...

[ushabti1]

I like your paint job the bases could be a bit tidyer that would really make the models look a lot better. Good review keep up the good work.

[TheChosen1337]

I got The Island of Blood and a battalion, it's great!

[SpyderKM]

how do you get your high elves to look so good? mine have many black spots after painting. do u think it could be from a bad primer?

[milodotnet]

@SpyderKM Thank you for the compliment, I'm not sure what you mean by black spots?

[SpyderKM]

@milodotnet well i think my mistake was using a black primer...... there are many black spots that i cant cover

@vulkan2345

ASF+Always strike first, a special rule that means they strike before anyone, even chargers

[GlassManJak]

Nice paint job ^_^

[Biblioag0g0]

Sea guard are one of the best defensive units in the game. Any unit that can combine missile capability with infantry ranks has my vote. Put these guys on a hill or have them grab a choice piece of terrain and they can harass the enemy the rest of the game. I fear the GW will kill this troop type as it does with many equipment selections and points of diversity throughout army selections.

[thedarklordellesar]

if gw takes away the sea guard that would make me not want to play high elves

[milodotnet]

I like the idea of sea guard, they just cost too much. I'd rather take a specialized unit of bowmen or a bigger unit of spear elves in most cases for the points...

Now if only Ellyrian Reavers were a core choice...

[hellball5]

@thedarklordellesar ok the sea gaurd are op however if they are specail i would understand but 4 there pts there pretty damn good

[Sinanthir]

that'll never happen, but what really pissed me off was how GW got rid of The Maiden Guard for the Everqueen...they kick so much arse.... =-)

[SocialistJavisst]

Nice review. Althoug how does initiative 5 help the spearmen when they have ASF anyway? :)

[milodotnet]

when fighting other asf troops (such as undead troops that receive asf from miasma of deathly vigour etc), it helps as it then goes down to initiative order.

[Ghettonerd101]

any other unit that has strike first?

[milodotnet]

There's a couple of ways of giving units asf.

[warhammermaster12311]

@SocialistJavisst

Some enemies can have always strike first from magic banners, eg. dark elves

[Clonefan1995]

how come your spearmen have no shields?!?

[milodotnet]

Since repainting them I'm leaning toward mixing these with my archers and creating units of LSG. I'll let you know why LSG in a later video, but I have some specific reasoning behind this. So getting to the point LSG don't come with shields as standard, and I don't wanna blow the points giving them shields.

[Clonefan1995]

personnaly, if the army your fighting is strength 4 or more, then dont get shields, because you will have armor save sof 6. but if it is a strength 3 army(skaven ,undead,goblins) and others, then take them, trust me. You DONT want to loose your advantage of a 7man frontage with 22 attacks to the front!!!

[milodotnet]

if you are going for the 7x3 then I'm all for the shields, but I've got a specific job for the seaguard and this one doesn't involve them having shields :)

I also tend to not build armies against specific enemies, I prefer building "all-comers" lists

[Aseratia]

Nice, i am a high elf collector also, this info my help a little (i'm not the best player)

[Devstro]

Good Stuff! Thanks for the shout out.

[milodotnet]

Np man, i really enjoyed your daemons series :)

[deathspecters]

Nice, very nice. Got to get my beastmen vids finished.

[milodotnet]

thank you, keen to see yours when they are up.
