Vorstellungen und Wünsche für ein neues Waldelfen Armeebuch

Army Special Rules
Asrai Archery: Models with the Asrai Archery rule add +1 Strength to any longbow attacks made at short range. In addition, they confer the Quick To Fire special rule on their longbows.
Bowmaster: Wood Elves who hone their archery skills over centuries can loose arrows with blinding speed. Models with the Bowmaster rule confer the Multiple Shots rule on their longbows. The maximum number of shots is equal to the unmodified Attacks characteristic on the model’s profile. For example, a longbow wielded by a Highborn gains the Multiple Attacks (4) special rule. Note that Bowmasters still suffer the -1 to hit penalty for using Multiple Shots as normal.
Forest Spirit: All Forest Spirits have the following rules: Burning Rage, Immune to Psychology, and Woodland Kin. Close combat attacks made by Forest Spirits are magical attacks. Forest Spirit characters cannot join units of non-Forest Spirits, nor can non-Forest Spirit characters join units of Forest Spirits.
Burning Rage: The threat of fire can rouse even the most ponderous Forest Spirit. Models with the Burning Rage rule have Hatred against enemies with Flaming Attacks.Models with the Burning Rage rule cannot take any item or banner that would grant them Flaming Attacks, nor can they be joined by a character bearing such an item.
Interceptors: The Wood Elves are experts at luring their prey into traps and launching furious assaults from unexpected directions. If fighting in a wood, Interceptors gain the Always Strikes First rule.
Woodland Kin: Woodland Kin units have the Forest Strider rule. When a Woodland Kin unit enters a Mysterious Forest and rolls the dice to determine the type of woods, they may re-roll the result.

Equipment
Spear-staves: Spear-staves are used prominently by the Wood Elves in close combat, especially by the Eternal Guard. Spear-staves count as Spears (both foot and mounted versions) In addition, models with a spear-stave may make a Parry Save as though they were armed with a hand weapon and shield, even when mounted. Spear-staves do not confer any additional armour benefit, nor do they count as armour in any way.
Talismanic Tattoos: Talismanic Tattoos increase the wearer’s Magic Resistance by +1. For example, if the model ordinarily had Magic Resistance (1), Talismanic Tattoos would grant Magic Resistance (2). Models without any other Magic Resistance gain Magic Resistance (1).

Magic Items
Dawnspear • Magic Weapon • 100 points
Spear. In the shooting phase, the bearer may make a shooting attack exactly like a Bolt Thrower. The Dawnspear magically returns to the bearer after every throw, so they can fire with the Dawnspear each turn. If engaged in combat, the bearer can strike with the Dawnspear instead of attacking normally: they make one Strength 6 attack using their Initiative and Weapon Skill. This attack does Multiple Wounds (D3) and ignores armour saves. All attacks made by the Dawnspear are Magical Attacks.
The Spirit Sword • Magic Weapon • 80 points
The Spirit Sword wounds automatically. In addition, any model wounded by the Spirit Sword but not killed must roll a D6 and add their unmodified Leadership value; the wielder does the same. For each point the wielder wins by, the target takes an additional wound with no saves of any kind allowed. If the target wins, they recover a single lost wound.
Railarian’s Mantle • Magic Armour • 55 points
The wearer counts their armour save as one point higher than normal. They also gain a 3+ Ward Save when within 6” of woods. Additionally, if the wearer has not joined a unit any enemy shooting attempts targeting the model are at -1 to hit.
The Rhymer’s Harp • Talisman • 60 points
The bearer, their mount, and any unit they join has a 5+ Ward Save and the Strider rule. The bearer also confers the abilities of a Musician on any unit they join, even if that unit would not ordinarily be allowed a Musician.
Moonstone of the Hidden Ways • Enchanted Item • 40 points
One use only. If the bearer and any unit they have joined is wholly within a wood at the end of the Movement Phase, the character and unit may be moved anywhere on the table that is also wholly within a wood. They may be placed in any formation, facing any direction, as long as they are at least 1” from any enemy models.
Starfire Arrows • Enchanted Item • 25 points
Starfire arrows can magically multiply into additional arrows. When the bearer makes a shooting attack with a longbow, if one or more natural dice rolls to hit are a 6 the arrows will multiply. The bearer may then make a number of additional shots equal to the result on a roll of the artillery dice. Further rolls of 6 to hit do not grant this benefit. If a misfire is rolled, the bearer’s supply of Starfire arrows has been exhausted and they may not use them for the rest of the game. All shooting attacks made by the bearer, including any additional attacks, are Magical Attacks with the Armour Piercing rule and have S3. Starfire arrows may be used in a Stand and Shoot charge reaction.
Wand of Wych Elm • Arcane Item • 75 points
Any Dispel attempt made by the bearer may be re-rolled. In addition, if a spell cast by the bearer targets an enemy unit with Magic Resistance, reduce the value of their Magic Resistance by -1. For example, an enemy unit that would normally have Magic Resistance (2) only counts as having Magic Resistance (1). If reduced to 0 the enemy unit does not benefit from Magic Resistance at all.
Royal Standard of Ariel • Magic Banner • 100 points
The bearer of the Royal Standard of Ariel and any unit they join have the Ethereal rule when not engaged in close combat.
