	* '''Wood Elf Highborn:''' ~~This lad can be fucking no-brainer solely game-winning choice~~. ~~Or he can be completely useless~~, ~~if you don~~'t ~~know what you are doing~~. ~~Wardancer kindred~~ is ~~propably the best choice. Or on~~ a ~~dragon. In~~ a unit ~~of Eternal Guard creates~~ a ~~stubborn~~ bunker ~~but a very fragile~~ one. ~~More in the Eternal Guard entry~~.		* '''Wood Elf Highborn:''' The combat lord of the army. Various good builds do exist. Mounted on a Dragon, doesn't need much clarification. A Highborn makes the Eternal Guard core and the Guard is stubborn when a Highborn or a Noble is with the unit. With Rhymer's Harp (5++) can be made a pretty solid bunker, although expensive one. Also worth of mentioning is a Wardancer Highborn.
	* '''Spellweaver:''' Basic lvl 3/4 wizard. Can use Lores of Beasts or Life besides Lore of Athel Loren. Their High cousins have the +1 for all dispel rolls but interestingly Wood Elves have propably the best defensive magic item in the whole game: Wand of Wych Elm. More in the magic items entry.		* '''Spellweaver:''' Basic lvl 3/4 wizard. Can use Lores of Beasts or Life besides Lore of Athel Loren.

	# '''The Call of the Hunt:''' 11+ to cast, range 18". If cast into combat, the target gains +1A. If not in combat, the target moves 2D6" towards the nearest enemy and may charge with this special move. First you move your treeman in the wood, then you move that very same wood towards enemy and then you'll charge with this spell! At least in theory. But even the threat of the Wood Elf player doing this can very easily eat some dispel scrolls. As with all the movement spells, this can be a game-winner.		# '''The Call of the Hunt:''' 11+ to cast, range 18". If cast into combat, the target gains +1A.

	We are trying here to highlight the key and crucial magic items in the list, I'm sure there will be several good ones not mentioned. Note that Wood Elves have magical arrows and if not otherwise stated, those can be used with magical bows.		We are trying here to highlight the key and crucial magic items in the list, I'm sure there will be several good ones not mentioned. Note that Wood Elves have magical arrows and if not otherwise stated, those can be used with magical bows. Spites are not technically magic items and therefore immune to Vaul's Unmaking and similar things but they work otherwise like magic items.
	* '''The Bow of Loren:''' 35 points. The bearer can shoot as many times as is his number of attacks without any multiple shot penalties. Can be extremely devastating with proper magical arrows against some armies, for example shooting Starfire Arrows (any casualty causes a panic test) to night goblin unit. The Bow combined with magical arrows costs much and the situations where it works are quite specific so this item can't be recommended for tournament lists.		* '''The Bow of Loren:''' 35 points.

	* '''Blades of Loec:''' 35 points. Wardancer character only. Can re-roll any failed rolls to wound. If you are taking a Wardancer Highborn, this is a must. If only a Noble, there might be other items which can be more useful, Moonstone for example.		* '''Blades of Loec:''' 35 points. Wardancer character only. Can re-roll any failed rolls to wound.

	* '''Wand of Wych Elm:''' This arcane item is 55 points so only lord level caster can use it, and that is very easy to understand why! It allows the bearer re-roll ANY dispel attempt. Without university courses of propability theory one can understand how much it helps magic defense. Unfortunately this item does not provide any dispel dice more so a Branchwraith with A Cluster of Radiants to support defensive magic is pretty much necessary.		* '''Wand of Wych Elm:''' This arcane item is 55 points so only lord level caster can use it, and that is very easy to understand why!

	Wood Elves use also small forest spirits which are called spites. All characters can also choose these~~.

	* '''Treeman:''' The most solid thing in the whole army. Does have a ranged attack called Strangle Roots and does cast Tree Singing as a bound spell. Take at least one. Strongly recommended to discuss with your opponent about using the Strangle Root-attack for Stand and Shoot charge reaction. There exists an official FAQ in which it is allowed to use but it was published after the 7th edition was the official edition. The wording of the Stand and Shoot is enough similar in 6th and 7th to conclude that it should be allowed but to avoid any quarrels, discuss. A Treeman can withstand an enormous amount of hits. T6, 3+ and being a Forest Spirit makes treemen extremely durable. Being stubborn means that losing combat to static resolution doesn't matter that much. But Ld being only 8 means that 5/18 of break tests will still fail. And this is why sacrificing one of your hero slots for the BSB is propably a very good idea. Now your treeman should be able to hold enemy battleline long enough to distrupt all the plans and sometimes even win all the combatants.		* '''Treeman:''' The most solid thing in the whole army.

	* '''Waywatchers:''' I've seen them used like a war machine in that they sit in a forest spitting out shots and forcing enemies to send in significant chaff to tie them up due to ten attacks at I5, due to two hand weapons. Also never ever forget their Lethal Shot ability, arrows with Killing Blow. They didn't seem cost-effective in that role though. The same points gets you a minimum unit of warhawks who have more mobility, slightly more wounds and perform multiple roles. 6th Edition doesn't grant access to the all Lores so you can't assist their shooting by weakening the enemy.		* '''Waywatchers:''' I've seen them used like a war machine in that they sit in a forest spitting out shots and forcing enemies to send in significant chaff to tie them up due to ten attacks at I5, due to two hand weapons.

	# '''Ariel's Blessing:''' 9+ to cast, range 18". The target unit gains regeneration until caster's next magic phase. Solid. Basically it is second 4+ ward in most cases. This is very good for all your combat units, propably only treemen would not need it. If your treeman is targeted by loads of cannons or bolt throwers, this helps in that case too. Screaming Skull Catapult and dwarven war machines with the Rune of Fire negates both regeneration and ward save so beware of these.		# '''Ariel's Blessing:''' 9+ to cast, range 18".
