Keepers of the Atumnal Glade (1500 points vs empire)

[Searas Inderan]

Hello Asrai.org, I'm rather new to wood elves and to WHFB, and would like some feedback on a list I'm thinking of running, and how it would do against Dwarfs and the Empire. as they are the armies I'll be playing against the most.

The Basic Idea would be that the Eternals, led by the highborn and bsb act as an anvil unit with the wardancers and dryads baiting and providing flank charges as the situation permits while the GG pick off units drawn out by the dryads and dancers. The level two singer would support with the compulsory lore of Athel Loren. Is that good as a general plan? Advise welcome.

Edit: Pulled out the color, just for you dusk

I would highly recommend including a higher level magic user, like a spell weaver with a lvl 4 upgrade. This will also give you access to the Lores of Life and Beasts which are so so so so so so so much more potent than the lackluster Lore of Athel Loren.

Does that look any better? I downgraded the highborn and upgraded the singer.

What is the goal of the eternal noble? To give stubborn to the eternal guard? If so, I would consider shifting the light armor from your BSB noble to the eternal noble. Some people say this gives him a 3+ armor save (including the helmet). Some people disagree, but it depends on your meta.

Also, where is the Spellweaver going? It's a waste of 75 points to put her in a glade guard unit, and she is too vulnerable to go into the EG block. I suggest dropping the rhymers harp for more GG.

[tmarichards]

Your BSB should be just 132 pts I think.

[Searas Inderan]

Oh yeah, light armor is 2 for nobles, that makes the eternal noble 92, because he's also got light armor that I forgot to give him, while charging him for it.

And I only have 40 gg models, I'll pick up more later. But as for now, would WoWE and a dispel scroll work? I can afford it by dropping the rhymer's and the light armor of both nobles.

[Doblin James]

The dispel scroll and WoWE are awesome items. Unfortunately, those are both arcane items, and you can only take one arcane item per wizard. (only wizards can carry arcane items too) Youll have to choose, but they are both very strong.

Amaranthine brooch and scroll then, might as well give my wizard a ward.
