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!
