Uhh BTP.

Dark Elves outshoot Wood elves something chronic.

10pts for 2x str3 armour piercing shots a turn as opposed to 12pts for 1 str 3/4 a turn.

The downside is you can't shoot and move, but give them a shield and you've got a parry save in close combat with hatred.

Dark elves do this massively better. Use the Woodelf uniques like Wand of Wych Elm + Branchwraith Dispel, using Dryads and Treekin to counter.

Hardest matchup will be watchtower.

Hardest opponent will be dwarves.

@ArachEye This is interesting. I like this idea. Armour Piercing is a big deal. I think the move or shoot drawback is pretty huge, and make them a different sort of prospect-- a static gunline rather than a mobile ambush type force.

the royal standard of ariel bsb + dryads =4+ ward

get a wardancer noble and give him moonstone of hidden ways (enchanted item) with wardancers means u can teleport btween trees , its good for killing warmachines and slowing units

[MrAriochish]

@smo0by Dryads ward save doesnt work against magic so............

The Moonstone sounds like a cool idea though

[TheEagleman67]

remember when wood elves had longer range than everyone else? 36 inches, ahh them were the days huh? I made a list if eternal Guard with a high born w/ the harp to give while unit ward saves and sprites so he can only be hit with 6 s in a challenge. toss in a BSB and a 50 block is now a bigger threat and not so fragile if steadfast

[AntolinArjon]

How about a skink/kroxigor army? it gets me thinking.....

id love your opinion on the idea Dr. BTP

How do you think your wood elves would do against my empire list? 3000 pts, Wizard Lord with rod of power; general of empire w/meteoric iron, sword of power, silver horn; bsb w/ full plate, sword of might, doomfire ring; (two units of) 40 spears w/shield 20 handgunner detachment, 20 free company; 20 handgunners with marks and hochland 2 detachments of 10 handgunners; 40 GS with 20 hg, 20 free comp; 2 cannons, 20 flagallents. thinking about making gun detachments archers.

@bluetablepainting Dryads are far better than chaos warriors, but they serve a totally different role. Dryads are for screening your troops from enemy fire and taking out medium to light infantry and light cavalry. Halberds are way over rated, and dryads don't need a standard since you can throw a BSB on a great eagle now without fear of the eagle falling out from between his legs.

@bluetablepainting Not only do wood elves have move and shoot, but repeater crossbows are 24" range. Wood elves would tear dark elves apart at range. Dark elves would only have their artillery, and thats what great eagles are for. You could just go all out great eagles on your heroes, two treemen, and a buttload of archers. Those dark elves would be in trouble. Saves are great, but you can't pass them all.

@Slanderbot Oh for sure, but think of what age she is? Perfect for her if you ask me. Pretty much anything he touches is a great movie, but yeah Ponyo wasn't at the top of the list.
