Swift Protectors of the Sacred Woodlands
The Glade Guard are vigilant defenders of Athel Loren, striking down anyone who dares trespass into their ancient home. For painters and hobbyists, these miniatures present an exceptional project to experiment with forest themes, natural greens, rich autumn browns, and soft cloth highlights. Their dynamic archery poses bring life and narrative realism to any display shelf or gaming table.
Army Construction and Faction Role
As a Core choice for the Wood Elf Realms, Glade Guard are crucial for building legal army rosters in Warhammer: The Old World. They act as the reliable line that holds objective points and screens your more fragile specialist units, like Wardancers or Dryads, as they move up the field.
Key Benefits of Glade Guard
- High volume of accurate long-range attacks to consistently chip away at high-threat targets
- Exceptional value package featuring 32 models to instantly pad out your army requirements
- Includes complete options for a Champion, Standard Bearer, and Musician to boost combat performance
Tactical Matchups
- Heavily Armoured Foes: Use sheer volume of fire to force multiple armor saves, gradually weakening elite units before they hit your front lines.
- Lightly Armoured Ranks: Glade Guard excel at absolutely wiping out cheap horde infantry and fragile skirmishers with ease.
- Tactical Summary: While incredibly deadly at a distance, keep them far away from heavy cavalry charges or elite melee monsters that can quickly overwhelm them in close combat.
