A Border Patrol List...

I've been thinking, since I've got a unit of glade riders in my 1,000 point army, and either way I'm going to buy the wood elves battallion box, would this list be better?


Hero
Noble, scout kindred, hail of doom arrow - 120 pts
Core Units
10 Dryads - 120 pts
10 Glade Guard - 120 pts
5 Glade Riders w/ musician - 129 pts
Total = 489 pts


It would mean I'd have glade riders in more than one list, and all it'd be cheaper to buy. Please let me know what you think.

Looks really good to me at least . But there is no need for the scout kindred now that you dont have any scouts so..

If I get rid of the scout kindred, I can either add two more dryads (making a unit of 12) or give the noble light armour and an enchanted shield.

Which would be more useful?

Remember that you have leftover points (11) already. So 11 points + what the scout kindred costs. How much is that?

26 points. I think he had already taken it into account.


@ ladders: you can give your Noble light armor and an Enchanted Shield, and take one more Dryad additionally.
You should really playtest your lists, though, to see what is best. You've been relying on our opinions a lot, but it's time for you to make your own opinion.

I don't mean that I'm tired to answer your questions and comment on your lists, but...

I'm sorry to go on about it, I'm most likely being incredibly annoying by now.

My only game experience so far has been about half a dozen high elf border patrol games, each one against orcs and goblins, and the only units I used were silver helms, spearmen, lothern sea guard, and elyian reavers in various combinations, and from what I've read their uses are very different.

I'll give the noble an elven steed, a spear, light armour, a shield and starfire arrows for 118 pts. My reasons are (even if you don't care), I'll have spare glade riders from the battallion box, I can put him in the unit of glade riders to give them a bit more punch (the only character I feel comfortable fielding out of a unit is a spellsinger), and I would like to try out starfire arrows.

So this is the list:


Hero
Noble, spear, light armour, shield, elven steed, starfire arrows - 118 pts
Core Units
10 Dryads - 120 pts
10 Glade Guard - 120 pts
5 Glade riders w/ musician - 129 pts (lead by noble)
Total = 487 pts

I know I have 13 pts left over, but I don't like odd numbered units... which aren't cavalry.

So, in conclusion, I thank you all enormously for your help, and I promise I'll stop posting in these army lists.

I should soon finish my homemade terrain piece, and I'm sorry to say I'll be subjecting you to photos of it.

Looking forward to those photos .
