Ive never been a fan of elves (of any sexuality :p) but with the release of Getting High Elves i was looking at the Loremaster and it struck me... Can you do a THEMED Hoeth army? like Swordmasters/loremaster army?

also, what else would be in it?

I dont have the book and will use this thread to determine wether i will buy it or not, its Hoeth or No-eth....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5608249.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5608249.page GMT Can a Hoeth Army be done? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5610212.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5610212.page GMT Can a Hoeth Army be done?

You can paint your spearmen in Hoeth colours, ofcourse, as for most other units. You can't do an all swordmaster army, though. Same with Dragon Princes, White Lions and Sisters of Avelorn, sadly.

That said, this is something to take advantage of if you do plan on doing a Saphery/Hoeth army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5611774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5611774.page GMT Re:Can a Hoeth Army be done?
You could even take Silver Helms as Core and say they're mounted swordmasters.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5613905.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5613905.page GMT Can a Hoeth Army be done?
So sure, if you paint them right, they will be Hoeth.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5613951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5613951.page GMT Can a Hoeth Army be done?

Yes, the Heraldry book makes it clear that all realms use Spearmen, Archers and Silver Helms to a lesser or greater degree.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5614735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5614735.page GMT Can a Hoeth Army be done?
That being said, you would not be able to field absolutely NOTHING but swordmasters. However, if that is your intended goal, I would recommend you stick to the following:

Loremaster(s), Mages, Nobles (BSB), Archers, Spearmen, Silver Helms, Sword Masters, Great Eagles, Bolt Throwers. Phoenix are quite useful, but I'm not sure where they fall in terms of fluff and lore.

Basically, min size your core, and if it were me I'd be using archers or spearmen, not both. Either a nice sized bunker (who, in the fluff, are typically assigned the special duty of guarding loremasters and mages and such), or a very large contingency of archers (30+ per unit). From there, as many large sword master blocks as your points will allow. I'd say units of 7x3 would be the minimum you'd want to go, and 7x4 would be better. Don't expect them to hold the line though.

You'll have good magic, will simply shred standard infantry, and the eagles\silver helm options do help provide some tactical flexibility.

For some reason, I find the thought of elves with tacos HIGHLY amusing. Well done, sir.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5615076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5615076.page GMT Can a Hoeth Army be done?

Arguably there is one exception in the form of Nagarythe; but it is not represented well in my opinion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5615382.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5615382.page GMT Can a Hoeth Army be done? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5662252.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5662252.page GMT Can a Hoeth Army be done? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5663840.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526515/5663840.page GMT
