Editing Warhammer/Tactics/6th Edition/Wood Elves (section)

=== Core Units ===
* '''Glade Guard:''' Basic archers of the army, but are also the only ones that shoot S4 at close range. Not very outstanding but almost always there is a slot for these guys. Take 10 to hide your wizard.
* '''Glade Guard Scouts:''' Not an unit per se technically but in practice Glade Guard upgraded to Scouts is a completely different unit. Loses that nice short range S4 and gain scouts and skirmishers. You can't have more units of Scouts than basic Glade Guard. Basic skirmishing scouts. 
* '''Glade Riders:''' Not bad but why to take them when much better choices are available? Maybe in some full cavalry army. They are not ItP so they can flee. Wood Elves lack of baiting units, these can perform this task nicely. Glade Riders and Warhawk Riders are the unofortunately the worst units in this army but still usable.
* '''Dryads:''' Incredibly hard to pass up. 5+ Ward, Immune to psych, cause fear, magic attacks, a vicious statline. Unlike their larger kin they're not flammable, not that it matters. One word of caution, they don't get rank bonuses. Friends don't let friends charge alone. Always give them the support of another unit or they will lose due to static combat res and break(yes immune to psych still means break tests). Also a good target for The Twilight Host
* '''Eternal Guard:''' Only core if you have a Highborn. Stubborn if led by a Highborn or a Noble. Opinions divide on these lads. FinAnon has never used them, and doesn't believe in Wood Elf armies created around blocks. Some people disagree and have performed well with block armies. It is true that Eternal Guard die very easily if targeted with any kind of missile fire or magic missiles. The main idea in using these is that the enemy does have so many more critical targets approaching and the Eternal Guard can march forward without harassment. If that treeman is still alive and can combicharge flank as the block charges front, congrats on winning. And even without support, if the hero is still alive, you are not prone in running away.
