What rules to use with Wood Elves

[Dave Knight]

I am just about to purchase a collection of wood elves from a fellow club member, all old citadel stuff.  I will have about 90 infantry, 8 cavalry, 3 hawks/eagles with archer crew and a tree man ent type creature

Forces for Hordes of the Things and Dragon Rampant are very doable but I wondered if anyone had suggestions for other rule sets that might be suitable?

[Elbows]

No personal experience with them but I know that people have created alternative "lists" for using fantasy miniatures with Saga.

Warhammer?

[Belgian]

Mass fantasy battles such as The Ninth Age, Kings of War maybe War of the Ring by GW to name a few available rulesets. Haven't played any of them but read through Kings of War by Mantic Games and they look simple yet solid.

Well if you aren't pathologically allergic to the idea, why not age of sigmar? points for the woodelves are in the generals handbook and the warscrolls are free.

In lion rampont I use scout sharpshooter for 2pt more even that is not in the rules. Some are invisible too son a unite for 7 pts

I use the old TSR Chainmail rules but those are OOP so that may not help you unless you like trolling EvilBay and paying a lot.

This. All the rules for play are free, and Wood Elves play pretty true to the background - deadly at shooting, hit hard but fragile.

Why not use them for a whole load of games? If they're based for Warhammer on 20mm squares, that'll work for Dragon Rampant and most other "large skirmish"games, including, I think, Saga. But it also gives you a HOTT 60mm frontage for three, so you could attach them (magnets or blue tack) to unobtrusive templates as need be. Or multi-base enough of them to use for HOTT and keep the rest individually based, and then use them together for DR and the like.

One more suggestion: Of Gods and Mortals. Use the treeman and/or champions/heroes as forest god and "legends". Then add a few units of "mortals". It's a cracking game, and you could have a lot of fun coming up with Celtic or Teutonic-inflected profiles for the elves.

[Dave Knight]

The plan is to use them for as many different systems as possible.  I will add of Gods & Mortals to the list

[Belgian]

Would then also suggest The Lord of the Rings skirmish game very solid game yet fast and easy to learn. My personal favorite engine for my skirmish games.
