So I haven't played a game of Fantasy yet, but I am interested in starting. The largest priorities I have is that the models must look cool, and the army needs to feel right to me (I'm referring to fluff). I don't even know the rules to the game yet, but I am a bit familiar having seen the game played and being versed in 40k. I would like your opinions on what is good and what is weak, but also why it is good/week. Also what tactics should I use, I plan on avoiding CC like the plague and Monster Hunting with my Glade Lord.

Damn that's a lot... Lol, It's very appreciated!

So acknowledging that a Glade Lord won't be as viable as HE/DE/WoC equivalent, if I wanted to field a Glade Lord on a Dragon (because I am sold on WE, and I also know I want a dragon), what would the best outfit/technique be for him? I would ideally still like him to be a Monster Hunter and Stay Alive (obviously).

I know the Winds affect the magic phase, 2d6 right? So how many casters do you think is a reasonable amount? The idea behind my spellsingers was that they were opposites (fluff based), shadow/light, however maybe high/dark would be better.

The Eternal Guard are really great looking models (which is why I want them). I was thinking about keeping them in the woods, to get the most of their WE benefits, they would try to force the enemy to face them (so the enemy doesn't get flank charged by my EG) which would leave their rear open to my cavalry. Or they face my cavalry and my EG flank charge them.

I know WE are hard to play to start out, but I get techniques and tactics relatively fast (plus I don't mind loosing, as long as my army looks cool and I don't make my defeat too easy for the enemies of Homewood Forest :p)

So here is my revised list, I halved the points, and obviously there is no way I could fit a Dragon in 1500 pts lol, so I have a standard Glade Lord built for combat. He will go with the Eternal Guard and be an anvil in the forest for the Wild Riders 'hammer'. I am going to try to force the enemy to go for my Eternal Guard because everything else will be too quick to touch. Let me know what you guys think, and again what are the strong points and the weak points of this list? Thanks :grin:
