Jeff McC's Wood Elves - Intro

After 2 years of dark elves, it's time to turn back to the light, so I'll be doing wood elves this year.   The list comes in at 1067 points, to make sure I meet the 1000 point challenge.  If I were fielding this as a 1000 point army I'd leave out the beastmaster and wild cats to get me back under 1000.


So what are we looking at here?

Army general - Level 15 Hero with Spear, Shield and Light Armor riding an Eagle - 208 pts.

12 Wood Riders with Longbows and a standard - 338 pts.

14 Archers lead by a Level 10 hero with a Longbow - 154 and 91 pts. respectively.


6 Wardancers - 120 pts.

5 Glade Runners - 80 pts.

Beastmaster and 3 Wild Cats - 76 points

These elves will be reinforcements for the wood elf army I took to BOYL 2, so they'll have the same autumnal color palette, and I'll be trying very hard to match what I did before, since I ended up changing paint lines when I returned from the UK.

BOYL 2 - The Wood elves prepare a warm reception for an Orc hero.
I've put together a painting plan, to keep me steady at 200 a month without overloading any one month too badly.  I've numbered them months 1 - 5 but I'm not sure which order I'll actually do them in.
Month 1
Hero on Eagle - 208pts
Month 2
Glade Runners and Wardancers - 200 pts.
Month 3
Archer Hero, Beastmaster, 4 Wood riders - 208pts.
Month 4 
4 Wood Riders, Wild Cat, 8 Archers - 213 pts.
Month 5
3 Wood Riders, Wood Rider Standard Bearer, 2 Wild Cats, 6 Archers - 238 pts.

It's a starting place anyhow....this should be fun!  Good luck everyone!

  2. You can never go wrong with Wood Elves. They are like cowbells and you can never have enough cowbells.

  6. Looking forward to seeing your beasts painted up, it was a shame they dropped that unit as an option in later editions.
