These Elves sport a variety of Archery units and a variety of different arrows to go with them. Heavily armored and highly armed infantry units may become quite useless against the quick and nimble Elves. Elves is a particularly worrying match-up (being a chaos player myself). The two factions most likely to struggle against the Wood Elves are more than likely the Vampire Counts, who have absolutely no ranged units and have had there speed nerfed quite a few times since the game released and the Warriors of Chaos, whose slow moving powerhouse units will have circles ran around them.Ĭhaos v. The Empire can also see some success against the Elves due to their excellent cavalry along with a rather strong ranged contingent these days. Other mobile armies, like the Beastmen for instance who are great in melee (but nothing to write home about with their missile infantry) may find success against them just because they stand the chance of out-maneuvering them. Take away their ability to move and you will all but killed them. They are first and foremost a highly mobile, ranged force. On the tabletop and in the game, Wood Elves are abysmal in melee combat. That being said, Wood Elves are not the army you want to use if you enjoy direct combat. Being Wood Elves, they also have the ability to call upon some seriously devastating forest spirits/monsters to batter through even the stoutest of opposing lines. Their tactics are mostly comprised of ranged units and highly mobile, yet lightly armored specialized infantry. Wood Elves will bring their own very unique set of tactical options to the battlefield. The Wood Elves will have some melee units, but their strength primarily focuses and archers and their wide variety of arrows. The last DLC faction detailed in my Beastmen preview was a huge success they added depth in a lacking grand campaign mode, where the empire would grow practically unchecked and the Warriors of Chaos had pretty much next to no help when it came to factions located in the far south. The Wood Elves, long rumored and now confirmed and getting their own DLC. Total War: Warhammer is finally getting a new faction after months of unit and hero DLC’s.
