So I came into some Aelves lately...

[generalchaos34]

So I recently got hold of a huge lot of unopened boxes of Aelves (for cheap too!) consisting of 

Glade Guard box (16) x 2

Glafe Riders (8)

Sisters of the thorn (5)

Dragon Knights (5)

White Lions (10) 

High Elf Spearmen (16) x 3 (plus about 5 reaaaally old spearmen) 

and the Aelfs from the Spire of Dawn box.

So there you have it, A LOT of aelves to play with and Im not sure where to go with them. I think im going to turn the spare  2 glade guards into a nomad prince and waystalker. The white lions seem to be a bit unimpressive so they may become swordmasters. The real conundrum im having is with the 50ish spearmen. Run them as is? Run them as darkspears and use a sorceress? Maybe use them as Eternal guard? Im planning to paint the entire lot the same color so this can be a little more flexible. Im also thinking of picking up either a phoenix or a dragon to round things out, what do you guys think?

You can turn the White Lions in Wildwood Rangers. With a Shadowdancer cast on, they works great as a glass cannon against behemoths. The cast is to make them faster, then doing something like 8-9 D3 dmg wounds. Just pick theme as the first fight.

Spearmen can changed into Eternal Guards, or still High Elves. 

Just try to get out a Shadowdancer from those bits. Plus, you can use the Spire Dawn Batallion which is pretty good.

When I saw the thread title, I assumed this was going to be another thread about Slaanesh elves.

Is there a way to change titles? Or should I just make a new one?

Also, whats better, Dragons or Phoenixes?

"came in" vs "came into"

 

That's not a bad start.  Glade Guard are okay but you'll find they let you down as you play more cause they don't contribute as much as you would hope over a game.  

 

The Sisters of the Thorn can cast their spell on your best save CC unit.  I would be tempted to suggested you run 20 Eternal Guard (the spearmen counting as EG) with Mystic Shield and Shield of Thorns on them, with 3 x 10 Glade Guard behind backed by a Nomad Prince.  

 

That's not a terrible start?

Value for money and with all the mortal wounds threats out there the Phoenix is the better choice in my opinion.

Now if you want pure killing power the Dragonlord is a true beast.

You could use the glade riders as wild rider who comho nicely with sisters of the thorne and  a spell weaver.

 

The spell weaver would then combo well with your pheonix.

 

Darkspears would be a nice tough unit, but youd get mpre syngery out pf eternal guard with yhe above spell weaver. a sorcress would also work well with a phoenix, and would br just as well with either dark spears or eternal guard.
