I wasn't either till Storm of Chaos came out and I was given the option to field an entire army of them! It's not a very effective army and gun lines hurt a lot but the glory of seeing all those madmen charging across the field... also if they table you it's thematic that they get their end. Side note I forgot to put Gotrek and Felix in the photo.
That's a grudgin. I wouldn't be building the army if I didn't think it was good. I'm glad it's more effective, from your experience, than I have seen. I have to deal with a lot of shooting armies, VC and Chaos so from the testing it's been an uphill battle. Currently searching for a Garagrim model that isn't over $70. Same with Ungrim as those tend to be incomplete models if you find them at reasonable cost........ okay, first off, don't mock the Slayer army. I fought that before during the Storm of Chaos, with both my Dark Elves and the all-Orcs army from the Storm of Chaos (Bolgut Facebeater was loads of fun). They were hard to deal with, having their own version of Night Goblin Fanatics, but much more durable than some weedy goblins. Second off, awesome army no matter how you slice it!

I'm still playing 7th edition with 6th edition armybooks but I've been looking at the new rules. Those things sound great! I like getting closer as my poor dwarves are slow. One thing I've seen so far is my slayers pirates are targeted early and often, firepower and toughness isn't to be sneered at. Annoyingly the group I play with has had life come at them and gaming has been minimal.
It's nice to be able to field the cart as something besides terrain or an objective!
Very true, I used to get around it with the Anvil and Strollas Rune, with miners, gyros and rangers as some of my favorite units. In a world of gun line dwarf armies I was the crazy movement guy. Must be my Wood Elf Sethayla tendencies showing through.
I have Grom as he's one of my all time favorite sculpts. Only issue with his is him auto dying if he breaks from combat due to the banner, but so beautiful. Gorgut I had and like a fool I traded as I thought it would be easy to get him again. Foolish summer child that I was. Same with Borgut as I wasn't playing my orcs that much at the time. I don't know what I was thinking. I would love to get the old forest goblin units as well if I'm wish listing. You give me hope for my Slayers and my friends are fun people who allow proxies so I'll be able to use the rules as long as I have a suitably impressive model.
I have a lot of armies but my Wood Elves are the ones I like playing the most at least in 7th. Once I started 8th it was mostly greenskins, skaven and Empire. Wood Elves are the least broken, in general, and unless you go full movement they are fun. I usually go full movement in 7th and more balanced in 8th.
the wood ones were the only elves i was fond of
They are definitely finesse and unforgiving of mistakes. I play all movement and evasion with no spell casters in 7th edition and it's an army that I have to pay attention or I lose. My last game was against DoC,8th edition game, after I killed off his Flamers and Herald of Tzeentch it wasn't a tough game for me. If he touched a unit it was dead but I was only ever hitting him with warhawk riders. Knowing the rules is key.
