I was going to start fantasy once done with my blood angels So I was wondering what army is better? Dwarfs or Wood elves?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1055472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1055472.page GMT Wood elves or Dwarfs?
Wood Elves base the game more around controlling the Movement Phase and being able to isolate units (or some units) from the rest of the opposing army. Wood Elves aren't very resilient, but their Movement can really make up for it.

Dwarfs focus on dominating the Shooting Phase. They are also quite resilient. The Dwarfs are the slowest army around though, so deployment will be even more important for the Dwarfs then for any other WHFB army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1055690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1055690.page GMT Re:Wood elves or Dwarfs? 40K, I recommend Warriors of Chaos its one of the stronger books out now and can be flat frightening to face an army of 2+ armor save units.

Its also fun to get away from only seeing Khorne units, try out the mark of Nurgle, you won't be disappointed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1055885.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1055885.page GMT Re:Wood elves or Dwarfs? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056009.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056009.page GMT Re:Wood elves or Dwarfs?
Both are competitive. In today's 7th edition I think Dwarves are better since they have a lot more high powered shooting to take down nasty stuff before it gets close. Wood Elves require you to dance around for a few turns to finally get that perfect combined charge off and now with ASF Black Guard, Grave Guard bunkers and 4+ ward Phoenix Guard even if you do it perfectly there's a good chance you'll bounce and then it's over. However they're still good and I have fun with mine.

I would recommend the Elves since I just think they're a much more fun army. Most Dwarf players seem to get bored of the army really fast unless they have a lot of love invested through painting and hobbying (at least in my area).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056031.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056031.page GMT Re:Wood elves or Dwarfs?
leighr3029 wrote:warriors of chaos wasn´t one of his choices. Talk about wanting to start completely opposite armies. Wood elves are generally considered better however dwarves are probably one of the better armies against the elves


It's not such a terrible thing to suggest an idea the OP might not have considered; even better if he says "if you liked this in 40k you might also enjoy this in Fantasy."

Wood Elves are a difficult army to play well. They usually live or die by your poistioning and performance in the shooting phase. However, if you're familiar to 40k and think that you can pick up on the way Fantasy works, you can be a really tough, frustrating opponent. As Ixquic said, they're a fun, dashing army to play.

If you're afraid you might not have the patience or skill to play them as well as you'd like when you first start (my friend seems to have mastered them over the course of three games; I have no idea how though) I'd recommend Dwarves if you want a safer point of entry into Fantasy. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056322.page GMT Re:Wood elves or Dwarfs? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056649.page GMT Re:Wood elves or Dwarfs? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/261821/1056749.page GMT
