A Look Into the Wood Elves Army Book!


Today someone has had a chance to see what is in the Wood Elf armybook, and given us a quick run down on what he saw. Wood Elves have really needed a new book for a long time, and I can recall time after time a few years back, people saying to just wait before getting any models. Here is our first look into the new book.

Please remember that the book was not in front of him when he was giving us our preview. As always take these are rumors, until we get an official release. A big thanks to Father Gabe for sharing with us today.

Got a peak at the Wood Elf book today, here is what I can remember:

Almost all skirmisher units have lost that rule, except for Way Watchers and War Dancers (and I think a new unit).

Eternal Guard: No longer need a lord type choice, they are pure core.  1pt more than a combi-weapon.

Asari Bow: 30", Str 3, Volley Fire, Armor Piercing
Asari Spear: +1 Str, Extra Ranks (gotta double check +1 str but Im sure that's what I read)

Forest Spirit Rule: Immune to Psychology and 6+ Ward Save.

Dryads same cost as Eternal Guard, not flammable (not sure if they were before)
Treekin are cheaper

Glade Guard/Riders are cheaper.

Giant Eagles: 1+ per rare choice

Bonuses for being in woods, looked like you get to bring a piece of Woods terrain with your army.

A lot of characters, new and old.  The twin sisters are in with their mounts.
