	*'''Dragon Breath:''' 15 Breath Attacks on a 90 point unit is nothing to shake a stick at. Cheaper than a troop of kindred archers, same nerve value, but with more attacks, hitting on 4+. However, unlike kindred archers, anything charging it triples their attacks as it's a warmachine, so will be evaporated the second anything gives them a sideways stink eye.		*'''Dragon Breath:''' 15 Breath Attacks on a 90 point unit is nothing to shake a stick at.

The one thing they lack is magic.Though this is more of a feature of kings of war as a whole. Yes, you have mages but these are strictly support units.

	Perhaps you like killing an army from across the board with magic and arrows. Maybe you like dragons, ponies, being super close to nature (hippy). Perhaps you've always wanted to collect an army of creatures that look as androgynous and stunning as David Bowie. If you play Elves, you probably like all these things.

	Elves are a fast glass hammer army that benefits from a commander that can use their maneuverability for maximum advantage. Overall, it Is a very fulfilling army that can look stunning on the table when painted right. Seriously you could fill an entire army of dragons or a well organized phalanx, both stunning sights on the battlefield.		Elves are a fast glass hammer army that benefits from a commander that can use their maneuverability for maximum advantage. Overall, it Is a very fulfilling army that can look stunning on the table when painted right. Seriously you could fill an entire army of dragons (no longer) or a well organized phalanx, both stunning sights on the battlefield (Although both are also likely to see you battered come battle time)

	*'''Kindred Tallspears:''' Mostly what they say on the tin. Like most elves they have solid nerve and speed 6, and they do have more attacks than their non-spear-wielding compatriots. However, they lack any CS, and they lack the staying power of your other infantry options while coming in only slightly cheaper. Also, they are no longer your only horde options. Unless you really, REALLY need the phalanx, you're gonna want to take Palace guard instead.		*'''Kindred Tallspears:''' Mostly what they say on the tin.

	*'''Shield Watch''' Elves? With good defence? Surely an error? In all seriousness, the staying power on these is tempting. That said, hitting on 4s makes them not particularly deadly, and, ultimately, inferior to Palace guard. You might find a use if you're facing an army that lacks any real CS, or want a more conservative battleplan (if you do, why are you playing the games ~~fasted~~ army list though?). They'll also sit on objectives well even if you come under enemy fire.		*'''Shield Watch''' Elves? With good defence? Surely an error? In all seriousness, the staying power on these is tempting.

	*'''Forest Guard''' Pathfinder is... nice, but beyond that you're paying slightly more for a Palace Guard alternative that doesn't come in hordes and trades CS for TC, so although the regiments aren't objectively bad, you are literally never going to use them. Troops could be useful chaff in a list that is (somewhat) short of it.		*'''Forest Guard''' Pathfinder is... nice, but beyond that you're paying slightly more for a Palace Guard alternative that doesn't come in hordes and trades CS for TC, so although the regiments aren't objectively bad, you are literally never going to use them.

 ===Hero===
 *'''Argus Rodinar:''' A unique hero that can't move, fight or damage the enemy in any way. He has a special spell which can inspire a single unit anywhere on the battlefield, which is very useful if you've got a unit out of range of any of your inspiring heroes. Stick him right in the corner of your deployment zone, or somewhere he's virtually impossible to reach.
