Wood elves give an entirely new meaning to "Get off my lawn"

G E N A R A L K E N O N B I

Ah yes, the Vietnam faction.

"Forest Spirit" is just referencing the phyisical resistance and magical attacks abilities which are the result of the "Forest Spirit" trait. It is similar to "Ethereal" but less extreme.

Can you make an updated version of this Lots have changed with the Wood Elves since 2017

Durthu coupled with some tree kin and a branchwraith as a front line are insane. There's hardly anything in the game that can kill them quickly enough to avoid being torn to shreds by the archers.

Man I really love your videos, both the guides and the multiplayer ones. You seem to be quite the fan of this franchise, and since I have found this channel, I started liking more Total War: Warhammer. Keep up the good job and stay classy :D btw you are now my main scource of learning about the game ;)

love how theres mechanics in the game that hurt the wood elves potential and will never be fixed. arrows hitting trees when shooting from inside woods, shooting at enemies running up hill makes them shoot into the ground trying to lead the targets, and archers who shoot while moving target like 3 models and waste like 90 percent of their arrows in overkill shots

The wardancers have physical resistance due to their magical tattoos and their surnatural reflexes. In the board game it translates in an "invulnerable saving" a sort of armor that can not be reduced or overcome, most of the time.

Look at his little face!

swift arrows to the knees lol

Oh Yeah!!! I figured you'd make one of these at some point, great job as always! These guide videos you do are some of the best in the community. Can't wait to see the follow up, and looking forward to watching your next campaign video. Keep on Keeping on!

7:10 her hair reminds me of the adoring fan, and they're both wood elves

Really enjoying your videos!You're not being to sarcastic och fooling around to much, yet easy-going and positive. And great skills!Presentation is also great

Please do more of these! They're incredibly informative!!! Heck your guides are your most popular videos so you must be doing it right

about 3rd vid, becoming to love your humor and style of vids.Great job ;)

Thx for your Total War Warhammer Videos ! They are really sooo good!

Subscribed! Very helpful guides, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos!

Zerkovich, what are the chances that you could do a Counter Guide series? Specifically where you focus on the individual factions weaknesses and how to exploit them with various unit types, from different factions. I would be especially interested in this information for wood elves because taking them down in the mid/late game in ME is such a pain in the ass.

Dude, your videos are amazing! I've watched pretty much all of your warhammer content now so when you upload something new I get all giggly! Keep doing what you do, the popularity of your channel will surely rise with these kind of videos you are putting out! Thanks a ton! :)

Great guide mate! Been trying to figure out how best to use the Great Eagle for a while now, hadn't thought to use him like Shock Cavalry. He's like a more maneuverable, less tanky Wild Rider, with sweet attack animations. Love that Chicken Nugget

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!

Just noticed that glade guard and glade rider units consist of identical/clone soldiers. CA got a bit lazy it seems.

This was really helpful. Thanks dude. I'm in a multiplayer campaign right now and while I'm very familiar with Total War, I still know almost nothing about the Warhammer games (love the lore though). I'm loving the wood elves so far

Great video. Definitely going Wood Elves on my second play through

good god I've been waiting for this since the dlc was released, cheers man!

Getting me hype for when I finally buy the game! Great work man!

Just discovered your channel and subbed to it. Great content, looking forward to P2!

Just got Wood Elf DLC today and this guide was so helpful!

again ty another great vid, u made the game alot more fun for me :)

Your material is just so entertaining to watch! Though I don't even have the Wood Elves DLC haha

Wardancers: Shadow Dances of Loek isnot only for the animation and their 20% phisical resistance is not only for "some reason" jaja, there is a link between both, representing their ability to shiv attacks. Great video btw :)

3 years later, I’m still watching 😊

Hey thanks for this man, I'll see if you got this debrief for every faction in the game!

By the way, I don't know if you have already figured it out, but the 'Forest Spirit' trait is only important for the campaign. Durthu can recruit them the usual way, while Orion needs to pay with amber. On the other hand, Orion can recruit units with 'Forest Stalker' the usual way, while Durthu needs to pay amber for them.

I played the tabletop game as a kid a few times some 25 years ago+ and we randomly drew our sides. I got wood elves. From what I remember they were pretty expensive and were basically an army of skirmishers. You tended to be outnumbered and needed to be pretty sharp at moving to the best positions all the time because if you get caught then you are in trouble. Sounds like this has transferred through to the game. They look cool though.

That hello there at the beginning seriously made me think of Obi Wan.. ffs xD

Thanks for this guide!

Great video¡ This channel is what I visit youtube for¡

20:34 XD dat brickwall nice Video!

Great comprehensive guide, looking foward to part II!

Take a shot every time Zerkovich says "quick on his/their feet".

they do seem to have a far number of vanguard units. If you start out with a front line of dryads with wild riders placed behind them could start a very effective Hammer and anvil very early on.

Nice vid👍🏻

I think that Forest Spirit trait's really just so you can see at a glance if you'll need Amber to recruit them in campaign or not. At least when on the Great Eagles.

Thanks a lot for posting this, wood elves can be tricky.

Who knows the elves? !!!!!!ZERKO!!!!!! Thanks man, great video!

Your gr8, just found you! Will you make a Vampire army Guide too? didnt find one... i suck in multiplayerbattles...would be gr8 to get some guides for vampire =)

The whole time I thought hawk riders were armor piercing missile. Damn it!

I'm really liking the Elves atm

i think its really obvious why wardancers have good physical resistenz

The wildwood ranger might be my favorite. Wood elves might also be my favorite.

Finally somebody acknowledges the wall-ness of Tree Kin

Thank you!

Hey man great vid! I love watching all of your guides, as not long ago i was losing almost every battle, but now I actually stand a chance of winning a few! Also, what map is in the background during the 'Army Traits' scene?

"Cause you just don't charge into trees" lol

Im definitly cosplaying the Spellsinger!

where i can see warhammer main quests have no luck finding them on youtube :(

ZERKOVICH! you my friend are officially best senpai!

[Sorry for the long post!] I really enjoyed this one too and I look forward to the next episode of your Argwylon campaign! I haven't had time to play the Elves yet. First I moved and didn't have time to unpack the computer and then I went on a long vacation, but since it's my main army in the tabletop game, I look forward to it. Judging by your descriptions and what I have seen in the campaign battles, they seem to have captured the strengths and weaknesses of individual units quite well. I have a question, though. Since much of the Wood Elf army is made up of glass cannons, how do you think they should be played, in general? Break the enemy quickly, of course, but how, on a practical level? What I often did with the Germanic troops in Rome: Total Realism (where they were more historical and basically all lightly armoured fierce fighters with some javelins to throw too) was to retreat along the whole line, try to separate one of the heavy units of the enemy, strike it from two sides, break it and run again. It took a lot of time, but it generally worked if my troops didn't get too tired. But the Wood Elf troops are so expensive. It's rather likely that the WE player will constantly face more numerous armies and then it can be very hard to run or to do hammer and anvil tactics (because the anvil breaks before the hammers have hit all the adversaries in the back). How do you think that general problem should be solved?

please tell me you will do this for bretonia when it comes out :D

Wood elf army guide: Treemen and a life wizard. Hawk riders if you are playing as the heralds of ariel

I think the most pleasing aspect of the wood elves is how complete the roster are in comparison to the table top. Everyone is in there, saved only by the twilight sisters and lady Ariel herself. Mods already filled those minor gaps, also the glade general (hero, melee). Unlike every other army in this damn game (saved only by TK following what a friend said to me, their roster is "complete", bone giants were substituted by cooler monstrous units).

you cant dislike this video. must be some lotr fans who thought its some elb video guide whatever. awesome guide!

You said Orion has a lot ofleadership, but he's unbreakable anyway.

Man Wild Riders is undoubtedly the best looking unit in the game for me. Just look at those beauties

I've always thought the wood elves had some of the best looking units in this universe.

Forest spirit does 20% resistance to physical damage. It does not carry over to the ones with elves on their backs though.

Does the SpellSingers actually sing when they cast their Spells?

I don't know if it was the same when this was made...but ive seen orion chase down cavalry on foot and charge around like one too

I have to ask, how can their fleshy and woody bits handle against a ratling cannon

I know this is a bit strange especially on a Wood Elves guide however if i'm playing chaos whats the best way to counter the elves. Reason being i'm playing a head to head against my friend who quite obviously is playing the Elves and he has been researching a lot of ways to destroy me but I am struggling to find a way to counter him.

Forest Spirit in WFB at least was a 5+ ward save, and magical attacks

hey now that the twilight dlc dropped could you consider updating the video or do you think it's still relevent even today ?

Do all the races :) this is great

“Hello there!” “General Zerkovich!”

Legend

Is it me or do these spellsingers have hands that change size?

Zerko the forest spirit trait is more of a campaign trait to help determine weather you pay amber for them or not.

Hi! Could you make a guide to the Chaos Warriors too? Mostly the Buildings and the Horde mode would be good to be explained! Thanks!

Zerkovich - hello there General zerkovich ! (General Kenobi )

You made me buy the DLC now :l... great xD

are there similar guides for all the other factions as well? thank you

This may sound dumb, but with the immense use of the Radious mod: you should do army reviews of the Radious mod units

Dwarfs Irondrakes kicks in… Its time to burn!!!🔥

Hey Zerk, sorry for the late comment as I have been busy. Well done on the video. I noticed that any of the issues I had with the previous ones in the army guide series have been remedied. Just that little extra bit of polish. The speed is also good, you switch nicely from taking your time to describe something new in detail to quickly going through any repeating abilities or similar units. Despite it being a fairly long guide there is no tedium as a result of that as well as the flavour you add with your occasional humorous remarks. Sorry dude, I wish I could criticise something to give you some useful improvement points but I'm afraid you delivered something quite solid, hehe. Well there is one thing. The Wildwood Rangers. You mentioned they don't have to worry about taking charges from large units to the face right? Well from what I saw in the tooltip they only benefit from this bonus if they are in a forest. Outside of the trees they are going to take full charge damage. Also you wondered about the Shadow Dances trait on the Wardancers and the Forest Spirit one on the eagle right? My impression is that such traits often denote a collection of bonuses. The Shadow Dances description speaks of how agile the elven ladies are which explains their resistance to physical and the ability buff they have. Both point towards dodging enemy attacks using their superior agility. The Forest Spirit one speaks of being resistant to mundane damage whilst dealing magical damage. This would indicate the physical resistance and magical damage on the Dryads, Tree kin and Treemen. I think the trait being on the eagle is merely an oversight on the developers part. Eagles aren't forest spirits, they are animals. Which explains why the trait is there, but not the bonuses. Likewise that might explain why the Eternal Guard do not have Armour Piercing in their trait list whilst certainly possessing that trait. Speaking of the trait list, there's a tiny golden arrow on the bottom right which I've never seen anyone hover over or click on. Does that do anything? Kinda looks like it would open a next page.

Doesn't forest spirit trait give units this phisical resistance? I though it was about that.

I like ur vid bro

The elves monster units really make or break their army

This needs updated

Do updated army guides & how to shut down faction

damn pointy eared wutelgis

5:32 cheeky ben 10 reference

Hey Zerkovich you have probably said this somewhere but when do you stream and do you ever stream Total War Games?

wood elves: Lets go to war!. NAKED

Didn't know Obi Wan played Total War xD

lets go kerillian

freaking tree huggers
