I was thinking of making them into a chaos wood elf army. I could use my vermin lord or demon prince as Orion. I could put the wild riders on these giant lizards instead of horses (then I would have a use for my 20 cold one knights ) I have plenty of converted dark riders I could try to convert back to get enough cavalry to field this list. It would be fast. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2226288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2226288.page GMT Re:2.5k Giddyup Wood Elves FYI Do you know if you put the stag in the Wild riders they lose their advance move?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2241656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2241656.page GMT Re:2.5k Giddyup Wood Elves BSB in the 5 glade rider unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2241700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2241700.page GMT 2.5k Giddyup Wood Elves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2242526.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2242526.page GMT Re:2.5k Giddyup Wood Elves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2242560.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2242560.page GMT 2.5k Giddyup Wood Elves
Hmm... honestly, to do all cav I'd go crazy modelling and do "counts as" Brettonians... they're the only all-cav armies I'm seeing as being viable these days!

I faced all-cav Empire recently with my WoC... draw due to a strange mission, but the Empire did not perform well (the only non-cav unit, a steam tank, contested the center for a draw, while the rest was dead or fleeing).

Wood elves I don't see doing much better... but it would be such a sight to behold!!

I really don't think they would be too competitive in fair fights, but figure I could pick my fights. The two main units are fast cavalry and if necessary I could use both to charge into flanks of one unit. My character unit is still fast enough to be charging 2nd turn. I was planning on keeping the BSB unit just close enough for the banner to work, maybe hiding out in some woods. The list is more for fun then competitiveness. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2244401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2244401.page GMT Re:2.5k Giddyup Wood Elves

Oof, you are right! They only get it from a unit that is the same unit type as they are.

I think in a list like this you need to kill the BSB and General as fast as possible. SO as much as I love the dawnspear, I think you might be better served with the Spear of Twilight and HoTH. +1A whether charging or charged combines well with killing blow and +1AS is never bad with wood elves.

If you want your spellsinger to get out of the way sir, you would need to get her off of the unicorn and on to a horse methinks.

Too bad the BSB cannot take the Wild Rider Kindred, would really suit the army.

Your conversion idea sounds sexy too.

Good Luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2247916.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/333416/2247916.page GMT
