Based on PDF Version 1.5, Last Modified: 2023 March 29 @ 09:22

Army Special Rules

Models with this special rule have the Dodge (6+) special rule in close combat. However, this cannot be used against enemies that attack before the model with Elven Grace.

A Wizard that has this special rule, and is within 6" of a forest, adds +1 to all attempts to cast and dispel spells.

A model with this special rule has the Fear, Forest Strider, Magical Attacks, Immunity (Psychology) special rules. In addition, they have a Ward Save (5+) which becomes a Ward save (6+) against Magical Attacks. However, units of Forest Spirits may only be joined by characters that are also Forest Spirit.

A Wood Elf army can always place an additional forest no more than 12" in diameter on the battlefield. This is done during deployment, before any units are deployed, and must be placed wholly in your half of the battlefield. Declare which type of forest it is when you place it. If you cannot fit the forest on your half of the table, move other terrain features by the shortest distance necessary so that the forest can be placed. If you still cannot place the forest, or if the scenario means that the Wood Elf army does not have a table half in which to deploy, this additional forest is not used in this battle.

Longbow. All shots with this weapon have the Armour Piercing (1) special rule.

Models with this special rule do not suffer the normal -1 To Hit penalty for moving and shooting.

Enchanted Arrows

Some models in the Wood Elf army have the option to purchase enchanted arrows. If a model has enchanted arrows, they must use them when shooting with an Asrai longbow. All Shooting attacks made with enchanted arrows count as Magical Attacks.

Shooting attacks made with Arcane Bodkins have the Armour Piercing (1) special rule.

Shooting attacks made with Hagbane Tips have the Poisoned Attacks special rule.

Shooting attacks made with Starfire Shafts forces enemies to take a Panic test if they suffer any casualties.

Shooting attacks made with Swiftshiver Shards allow the model to fire Multiple Shots even when moving that turn.

Shooting attacks made with Trueflight Arrows ignore all Shooting Modifiers that are not caused by magic items or spells.

A Waywatcher unit which is within a forest is automatically assumed to set traps around its positions.

If the chargers are already inside the forest when the charge is declared the traps are activated as soon as the charge is declared. Roll a dice to determine the type and effect of the trap.

D6

Result

1-2

Spikes: The Waywatchers have scattered pieces of long thorn on the forest floor, and have half buried short spikes in the ground around their position.

The enemy unit suffers D6 Strength 3 hits.

3

Snares: The attackers are caught by snares as they charge, preventing them reaching their target.

The enemy unit deducts D3" from the charge distance.

4

Nets: As the enemy charges nets fall on top of them from the trees above.

All enemy models in base contact with the Waywatchers must pass a Strength test or be unable to attack in the ensuing close combat.

5

Camouflaged Pit: As the enemy advances they find themselves falling into concealed pits lined with sharp stakes.

The enemy unit counts as moving through Dangerous Terrain. If the unit would already treat the forest as Dangerous Terrain, they instead fail the test on a 1-2.

6

Impaler: A huge concealed spike suddenly springs out and impales anyone in its way.

Treat the unit as being hit by a bolt thrower in the front rank. The file it hits is determined by the Wood Elf player.

Choosing Spites

Spites are chosen in the same manner as Magic Items, and count towards the maximum number of points a character is allowed to spend on Magic Items. Therefore each particular Spite choice may only be chosen once in an army. For example, you cannot have two models with A Murder of Spites in the one army. In addition, each character can only choose one Spite from the list below. However, models with the Forest Spirit special rule may have any number of Spites, to the limit of their allowance (100 points and 50 points respectively).

A model with a Blight of Terrors causes Terror.

Forest Spirit only. A character with a Cluster of Radiants adds one extra dice to their Dispel pool in their opponent's Magic phase.

Any enemy attempting to strike a character with an Annoyance of Netlings in close combat will suffer -1 To Hit.

Heirlooms of Athel Loren

This section contains the rules and background for some of the most iconic and powerful magical artefacts used by the Wood Elves. These may be used in addition to the magic items found in the Warhammer rulebook.

Magic Weapons

All failed To Hit and To Wound rolls made with Daith's Reaper must be re-rolled, as must all successful armour saves taken against Wounds caused by this weapon.

Armour saves cannot be taken against Wounds caused by the Spirit Sword. Furthermore, immediately when an enemy single model unit (that is not an Animated Construct) or Character suffers one or more unsaved Wounds from the Spirit Sword, both they and the wielder must roll 2D6 and add their respective Leadership values. If the wounded model's total is higher, or the totals are the same, nothing else happens. If the wounded model's total is lower, it immediately suffers a Wound which Ignores Armour Saves for each point by which its total was exceeded.

Asrai Longbow. All shots from the Bow of Loren are resolved at Strength 4 with Multiple Shots (A) special rule. Multiple Shots (A) means the bow fires a number of shots equal to the wielder's Attacks characteristic. It cannot fire enchanted arrows.

Note that if Sceolan is included in your army, no other model may be given the Bow of Loren.

Magic Armour

This enchanted helm imbues the wearer with the spirit and fury of Orion. The Helm of the Hunt has the following armour profile:

RangeStrengthSpecial Rules
30"4-

If the bearer's unit is wholly within a forest at the end of your Movement phase, and is not in close combat, it can forestwalk. If it does so, remove it from the battlefield and immediately replace it, wholly within any forest on the battlefield, in the same formation, but facing any direction. A forestwalking unit cannot be placed within 1" of an enemy unit or impassable terrain. A unit that forestwalks counts as having marched in the Movement phase.

Magic Standards

Banner of the Eternal Queen can hear Ariel's voice whispering in their minds, filling them with courage in the face of impossible odds. The bearer has the Magic Resistance (3) special rule. In addition, once per game, all models in the same unit as the Banner of the Eternal Queen have the Unbreakable special rule until the end of the turn, or until the bearer is slain (whichever comes first).

If an opponent uses more than three power dice (from any source) when casting any spell, the bearer of the Divination Orb may add an extra free Dispel dice into the attempt to dispel that spell.

Any enemy unit that enters a forest within 18" of the bearer of the Deepwood Sphere suffers D6 Strength 4 Hits as soon as they have finished their move. They continue to suffer D6 Strength 4 Hits at the start of any of their Movement phases for as long as they remain in the forest.

When casting spells from the Lore of Life, the wizard carrying the Elf Charm may add D3 to their casting value once per Magic phase.

Tree Singing is an augment spell which targets a single forest within 24" of the caster. If there are no units within the forest, it immediately moves up to D6+1" in a direction of your choice. A forest cannot move to within 1" of units or other terrain features.

If there is at least one unit (friendly or enemy) within the forest, then the forest does not move. Instead, choose a single enemy unit at least partially within the forest; that unit immediately suffers 2D6 Strength 4 hits. The Wizard can choose to instead have this spell target all forests within 12". If they do so, the casting value of the spell is increased to 12+.

Fury of the Forest is a direct damage spell with a range of 18". If successfully cast, the spell causes D6 Strength 4 hits.
