When we last left our intrepid adventurers, we were
discussing the Wood Elf units. Now we
move on to the Forest Spirit selections.
We will be discussing or rather I’ll be discussing as blogging tends to
be mono-directional in conversation…
Anyhow..
The Dryads
The merciless and warmongering changelings of the Wood Elf
army, the Dryads serve as the tougher infantry for the army. The Dryads, much like all forest spirits,
lost a point of strength and skirmishers from the last book to the new but they
gained several other abilities. Meanwhile
the Branchwraith gained access to
the Lore of Life. The Dryads are a Core
selection while the Branchwraith is a Hero selection.
Unit Type: Infantry
Special Rules: Fear, Forest
Spirit, Hatred
Branchwraiths are
Level 1 wizards with access to the Lore of Life and have the Blessings of the Ancients special rule.
