sean2436 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hello all. Just started playing AoS and Wanderers as my first army. I've had some mixed success in 500 and 1000 point game against SCE mostly. Here is my current 1050 list. 1 Nomad Prince (general, Starcaster Longbow) 1 Spellweaver (staff) 1 Wayfinder 2x20 Glade Gaurd 1x10 Eternal Guard 1x5 Sisters of the Thorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean2436 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Sorry for double post. I meant to ask for suggestions for next 500/1000 point. Tested SotW recently and really like what they can do as well as a 1x30 GG unit in combo with Realm Wanderers was pretty nasty. Also seems like I should have gotten something other than the Wayfinder, he does seem lackluster in most games where I don't roll a decent 3D6.

Waywatchers are much better and still worth their points despite the 20 pt increase. I take 3 in the battalion and it's fairly easy to kitbash a couple for variety. With the change only allowing one unit to use realm wanderers each turn, they are perfect for this as they don't lose their +1 to hit in the shooting phase and can fit in most places being a single model and are hard for your opponent to screen them out when they first arrive on the board. Make one your General (SotW become battleline) with Masterful Hunter and you'll be hitting on 2s, even heroes with the -1 "look out sir", and generating extra hits on a 4+ each time - well on a 5+ against LOS which is standard anyway. Let's just say I like them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambot1231 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know if there are any straight up generic order battleline in the wood elves compendium anymore? I think i recall glade riders being battleline. IF i was looking for a generic order battleline unit for a mixed wanderers army with hurricanum (now that eternal guard are not generic battleline) would glade riders be effective? Perhaps there is a better battleline in order that combos better with hurricanum? Edited August 1, 2018 by Cambot1231 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwill_of_the_Woods Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 @Aelfric, I couldn't have put it better myself! I'm pretty sure that Glade Riders were. The most up to date Warscroll builder states that they are. They can be found under Wood Elf\ Units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkanaut company combo very well with the Hurricanum if you just need generic battleline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ailuro81 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Hey all I have decided to take up the underdog mantle and start a Wanderers army. I have to say I absolutely love the models and am doing a 'Winter Hunt' army. I have written up a few lists but feel the Waystone Pathfinders Battalion could be very useful. That being said I am unclear on the actual use of it. My question is, do I have to put the entire battalion in reserve ready for a first turn deployment? Or do I get to choose which units I would like to put in reserve and which to start on the table?

Or do I get to choose which units I would like to put in reserve and which to start on the table? You have a good deal of freedom here. From the core rules under Warscroll Battalions: 'During set-up, you can set up some or all the units from a warscroll battalion at the same time rather than setting up each unit individually.' When a unit is set up, that is when you declare whether it is using any special deployment rules, like the Waystone Pathfinders' Realm Wanderers ability. So as one drop you can set up some or all of the units in the battalion, and then set up any remaining units individually, declaring for each unit when deployed whether they will start on the battlefield or not. Weclome to the fold, you have good taste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, and good call on the winter hunt, im also doing that and the models look sweet painted in a winter scheme. Others have commented on the set up for pathfinders, but also remenber, they dont have to arrive in the same spot and dont count as moving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ailuro81 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Ordinarily Aezeal I would agree. I just wanted to do something a little different. It was a toss up between winter blue and autumn red so I went blue. I am going to do a few Sylvaneth allies in the same scheme. Once complete I may do an Autumn army as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it can be said enough what a great model the Prince is and it's always great to see everyone's take on him. Nice work, very wintery. The red gems really pop against the grey-blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway.. great painting skills. 41 minutes ago, awcamawn said: I'm not sure it can be said enough what a great model the Prince is and it's always great to see everyone's take on him.

It's a great model and personally it's one of the best painted models I personally have (within my limited skills).. sadly his bird is completely gone... was not attached and somehow it wasn't in the container where he was either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aezeal Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 BTW when I see that old hunting cat (next to the lore master on the rock) which was old even when I started 20 years ago (got it 2nd hand then) I REALLY think that now we lost the tree spirit part of the army we SHOULD get our connection with the beasts back. Nomads with beasts... a unit and a hero would be nice and give the army a bit more character. I'd not mind if it where AoS beasts... gryph/draco beasts would be nice too.. or beetles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailuro81 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That's a great idea, love the idea of heroes on bears or big cats. Or even bring back the Stag Lord with a decent warscroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
