Wild Riders are classed as Forest spirits in this list.
The Elven units provide shooting and mobility, the Tree Spirit units provide chaff, close combat punch and resilience. The list allows the purchase of woods out of the army points allowance instead of getting free woods. You must choose between a high command Elf General or a lower command Treeman general, whichever you choose you have to take some units of the opposite type. Units and characters of different types cannot intermingle. Elven characters suffer a penalty when commanding forest spirits. The list divides the units into Elves and Forest spirits, with minimums that must be taken from each type. Here is the first draft of an alternative list I have been working on with my regular opponent. This then frees up a spell slot for something useful like a Mirage type spell. We also consider that the Tree Singing and Fury of the Forest spells could be merged into one spell that both moves woods and causes damage to enemy caught in them. It requires a lot of work but will be fun to test out. The concept is that you choose one of two types of General, Treeman or Elf Lord, who suffers command penalties against units not of his type, and the two types of unit cannot brigade or intermingle characters. The Spirits provide close combat punch, chaff and resilience. Steve is in the process of coming up with an alternate symbiotic list composed equally of Forest spirits and Elves. It appears that the only way to win with Wood Elves is indeed to forest camp, which is a tactic we both refuse to employ. We both feel that new Wood Elves lack a decent force multiplier in the form of a Flying, Terror causing character, their spells are underwhelming, they have no chaff units and no resilience so lose points very quickly. So we both have yet to find a winning combination with the new list. Wood Elf counter attack caused some damage but was then overwhelmed by Chaos second Chariot brigade which removed the remaining Wood Elf Cavalry, at which point Steve had had enough. Some good orders got Chaos Chariots and hounds into Wild Rider brigade on the left flank and destroyed them. Flanks were cavalry, centre infantry.Ĭhaos redeployed to offer a refused flank, putting all cavalry on the left and holding the centre with Infantry in terrain. The battlefield has heavy woods on the flanks and a built up area in the centre.Ĭhaos actually beat Wood Elves on Scouting and forced them to set up first.
I took a General, Hero on Dragon with Sword of Might, 2 Wizards, one with Dispel Scroll, one with Ring of Magic, 2 Chaos Warriors with magic swords, 5 Marauders, 2 Ogres, 4 Hounds, 4 Chariots, 2 Harpies. He had a General, Wizard, Hero on Hawk, 4 Archers, 2 Waywatchers, 4 Spears, 2 Wardancers, 6 Wild Riders (illegal), 2 Warhawks and a Treeman monster.
He actually took an illegal list but we only realised afterwards.
So I played another 2000 pt game against Steve last night.
