Swift as the Wind Through the Canopy
Glade Riders serve as the vital eyes and ears of the wood elf hosts. Bound by an unspoken trust with their steeds, they navigate dense forest terrain without losing momentum, releasing deadly volleys of arrows with uncanny precision even at full gallop. For collectors and painters, this kit represents a wonderful opportunity to capture the wild, untamed elegance of Athel Loren.
Forward Scouts of the Forces of Fantasy
Operating far ahead of the main battle line within the Forces of Fantasy Grand Army, Glade Riders delay incoming threats and buy valuable time for your slower units to deploy. Their high speed makes them exceptionally suited for flanking maneuvers, hunting down war machine crews, or eliminating isolated wizards.
Why Choose Glade Riders for Your Force
- Superb battlefield movement characteristics allowing you to control engagement ranges
- Highly detailed and customizable plastic models that bring true dynamism to your collection
- Strong tactical synergy with foot-based archers and heavy forest spirits
Battlefield Performance Guide
- Slow Infantry and War Machines: Glade Riders easily outmaneuver slow-moving blocks, picking them apart from a distance or charging vulnerable artillery.
- Heavy Cavalry and Monsters: Direct combat should be strictly avoided; use your superior speed to kiting these threats and wear them down.
- Strategic Summary: This unit excels in asymmetric engagements where agility dictates the terms of engagement. Keep them out of frontal standard combats and focus on vulnerable weak spots.
