Need help choosing the right season

Postby Serrath » Tue Aug 02, 2005 3:04 pm

What do you guys think would be the best season for me?

Id like to include 1 unit of ethernal guard and 1 unit of Wildriders in my army ( love both models ). Im also very fond of Wardancers and Dryads.
Ill not be using Tree-kin or Treemen ( unless really high point battles ).
Not too sure about Warhawk riders, but i would like to include them in the army as well.

Problem with wanting both ethernal guard and wild riders is, they are both kind of season bound ( ethernal guard being winter bound, and wild riders summer bound )

Was thinking Autumn theme, Wildriders doing their last sweeps at the forest borders, Ethernal guard preparing the defences for the upcoming winter and all the elderly tree's returned to their slumber, while only the young Dryads are still active.

Sound reasonable?

Should this be in fluff or discussion? I'm not sure.

eternal guard are winterbound, and wild riders are summerbound, but it dosent mean that they cease to exist in the opposite seasons

eternal guard still guard theborders of the forests in summer, but in winter that duty falls solely on them, thats wy they are more winterbound. a winter themed army sshould have more eternal guard, while a summer army should have more wild riders.

wild riders in winter guard the kings glade, but still can be used in winter, quercia had an ideaabout making forest spirits slightly stronger and more expensive in spring themed armies:

maybe you could take a leaf out of his book and make either WIld riders or eternal guard weaker with a cheaper points cost (eg wild riders -1 initiative for -2 points) but still include them in the army if you want everything to figure up fluffiy

or else go on and make an autumn army, but in that case paint wild riders in summer colors so they stand out(i dont think theyd bother changing camo scheme just because winter is coming)
blah blah blah...im not listening to you...so you might as wewll shut up
