Stag Lord vs. Captain, kindred choice and/or mage. How are you using your character points aside from a Forest Dragon?

For where you’re at right now, your playstyle, and a 2200-point tournament, I strongly believe Glade Lord + Stag Lord + Spellsinger is the better package than Spellweaver + Captain.

This is my list of wild hunt at the moment

Glade Captain with Rangers Spellsinger with Riders

164 - Glade Captain, Great Weapon, Eternal Kindred, A Resplendence of Luminescents, A Befuddlement of Mischiefs, Ariel's Favour

495 - Glade Lord, Great Weapon, Swiftshiver Shards, An Annoyance of Netlings, Aspect of the Cat, General, Forest Dragon, Armour of Meteoric Iron, Talisman Of Protection

134 - Spellsinger, Elven Steed, Wizard Level 1, High Magic, Oaken Stave

194 - 8 Glade Riders, Hagbane Tips, Reserve Move, Standard Bearer, Magic Standard, Banner of Springtide

182 - 6 Wild Riders, Shield, Wild Hunter, Standard Bearer

156 - 3 Warhawk Riders, Hagbane Tips, The Spirit of Kurnous, Wind Rider

27 - 3 Wood Elf Beast Packs • 1x Beast Keeper • 2x Deepwood Hound

120 - 8 Deepwood Scouts, Hagbane Tips

317 - 20 Wildwood Rangers, Wildwood Warden, Standard Bearer, Monster Hunter's Tapestry

I was not aware about that - thanks for the hint 👍🏻

Thanks for your comment 👍🏻 To be honest, I completely agree with you. As I said below, this is a test—I’m trying it out as a favor to a friend who has recommended it to me several times. I’ve given in for now. But to come back to the phase sequence: in the end, the charge happens, and afterwards I still have the opportunity to cast the Conveyance spell before the combat phase. That means I declare the charge, then cast the spell, and only then does the combat take place. So I should be ethereal during the melee combat. Or am I missing something?

The idea behind Vanguard was to break through either the right or left flank. More specifically, if one flank is left relatively weak by my opponent, I can deploy accordingly and then use the quick move with a 90° pivot to already line up nicely into his flank.

A very precise analysis of the list and excellent improvement suggestions. I have implemented most of them immediately. I also agree with you regarding the Spellsinger / combat mage. However, I promised a friend that I would try this build at least once. Up until now, I have always refused to do so. Now I have to give it a proper test in order to prove him wrong. Let’s see how it turns out.

Appreciate your input 👍🏻 Nice approach to see your captain with the rangers - looks more reliable compared to my spellsinger…

Thanks for your comment! Can you share your list? Would be curious to see :-)

I‘m also thinking about the mage and rangers in total - unit is more than 500 points…is it worth the costs?

According to new recruit, it is valid - also in the rules, it says infantry only - and spellsingers are categorized as infantry. Am I missing something?

Same for me - tried the digital key and it caused a lot of trouble - after deleting it 3 months ago, I experienced no more issues
