Bretonnians vs. Wood Elves 1500 Battle Report Pt. 2

[TheEagleman67]

cant belive you took 3 pegasus knights in 1500 points thats 165+ points! 18 more battle pilgrims or 33 men at arms, almost 7 knights of the realm or 4 grail knights

@TheEagleman67 Peg knights are one of the army's strengths, they cost about twice as much as a unit of 5 mounted yeomen but have higher movement, can fly, and are skirmishers, and with the new vanguard rules, peg knights just got a lot better. Not to mention they get stomp attacks as well for being monstrous cav. I'm probably going to be taking 2 units in 8th edition.

Umm, his Wild Riders could flee if they wanted, they only cause fear on the charge.

It seems like you were playing an amateur.

I am a Wood Elf Player, Dryads are unot unbreakable. Immune to Psychology means you are unaffected by exactly that PSYCHOLOGY. Breaking because Heavily Armoured Knights are cutting your friends in half is not Psychology.

[SubTukkZero]

OrdosExarch is correct.

im reading the current book right now.....under the forest spirit section on the special rules page it says:

-non-forest spirit may not join a forest spirit unit

-forest spirits have a 5+ ward save against non magical attacks

-all forest spirits have magical attacks. this includes any special  and ranged attacks they have

-FOREST SPIRITS ARE IMMUNE TO PSYCHOLOGY

---in that order and if u notice dryads have the forest spirit rule

[SirRhoki]

Immune to Psychology rules, p. 53 of the BRB:

"These troops [troops that are ItP] have to take Break tests as normal."

I see where you're coming from, but ItP is not the same as Unbreakable. If it was, there wouldn't be a separation of those two rules.

[jakep42zer0]

dryads are unbreakable....they shouldnt have ran....

[SirRhoki]

Dryads cause fear, but they are not unbreakable. I don't know what army book you're looking at.
