Well, I can wholeheartedly say that Dark elves is a faction worth getting into (although I'm a dark elf fanboooi, so heavy bias) - their lore is pretty interesting, and gives you decent insight into the high elves as well.

I hope that made sense, not my native language so don't know how to explain it further or in more detail. Wood Elves - looks cool, I love nature, I believe in reincarnation/circle of life & death (life feeds death - death feeds life/rebuilding - destroying, the balance of good/evil - destruction/creation) I might not need to include Dark elves, but then there's the dilemma of merging High elves with wood elves.īasically, High elves because I already have them + appealing playstyleĭark Elves - looks cool, adds darkness to an army I find "too bright/orderly/perfect" I think I have some heavy research ahead of me. Wood elves appeal to me because of their look and also the lore and I'd imagine they have a similar playstyle as the other elves? Close to nature and secluded (just like me :P) but I'm missing the dark/destructive aspect of them which is why I wanted to get the Dark elves in. Even though I guess I'd need a small amount anyway to balance it out. I haven't done all that much research but if I understood it correct the High elves use a lot of magic and strategic manoeuvring than most other armies? That's the kind of playstyle I'm looking for, not very interested in huge tanky units. What I like about the Dark elves is simply the darkness, with the High elves it's mostly the playstyle and not so much the aesthetic/overall theme. I'd be happy to help out more but would need to know what your priorities are to give good advice! If you must have some Sylvaneth in your army, I'd suggest Kurnoths. The one exception to this are Kurnoth Hunters, who are just solidly great no matter how you equip them. They've really been branched off from the Wood Elves and are really dependent on their allegiance abilities to function on the tabletop. The one thing that I'd suggest right off the bat though is to mostly ignore the Sylvaneth. power on the tabletop? Getting an idea of those ratios will help us give you much better advice. How much are you motivated by the aesthetics of the army vs. I'm sure you can imagine a justification for it!Īs far as the actual list building part goes, I think it might be better to start with some very broad advice. Having some Wanderers tag along could work too. Still, a combination of Dark and High Elves teaming up to take on Slaanesh would make for a reasonable army theme. I'm guessing there are some decent wikis out there that have summaries of the books, and that might give you a sense of which ones are worth your investment. I'm sure there is more on this written in various AoS sourcebooks but sadly I couldn't point you in the direction of which one. I really don't know the AOS lore all that well, but one of the main themes that appears to be present is that Slaanesh went and ate a very large number of elf souls, and there is some talk of the Exiles and Highborn teaming up to go rescue them. Of course, when the End Times happened all the old history kinda went out the window and the Elf factions all ended up on the same side. They might have had occasional contact with the other elf factions (particularly the High Elves) but it wasn't frequent. To give a very broad overview (and you're probably aware of this already), the High Elves and Dark Elves fought each-other for most of the history of WHFB while the Wood Elves were mostly isolationists. For example, I'm pretty sure the Wood Elves had periods where their lore was a lot darker and periods where it was less dark. Getting multiple books from different editions of the same faction will give you a sense of how GW developed and changed the flavor of each faction over time. You can find them pretty inexpensively now, for the most part. As far as lore goes, old army books are always a good place to start.
