hullo and no im not crazy i just dont get much sleep.Come on a journey with me a journey of climactic victory and crushing defeat. anyway enough with the show man ship. so some of you ask why make a 4000 army when you can fit Orion in a 2000 army and be done with it my answer is that there isnt enough points i mean orion and his unit cost almost 1000 points anyway (and you have to agree bigger is better).lets get started.

Lords
Oroin 575 (it wouldnt be his army without him)

Heros
BSB Wood elf noble 117
an annoyance of netlingsthe
royal standard of ariel
light armour

Spellsinger 175 (i wont need any dispell scrolls with the 2 extra dispel dice orion generates)
Lv2
Calaingor's stave
Deepwood sphere
subtotal:867
Core
10 wild riders full command banner of bwindling 346 (your opponent gets one less dice when fleeing from combat)
(this is orions unit)

10 wild riders full command 296

10 wild riders full command 296

10 glade riders full command 276 (im goin to use these guys as fast range support and to help the wild riders when needed)

10 glade riders full command 276

12 dryads with branch nymph 156 (you cant go to war without them)

12 dryads with branch nymph 156

subtotal:1802

Special
4 Warhawk riders with wind rider 180 (ive heard a lot of good stuff about these guys with theyre hit and run tactics)

4 Treekin with elder 280 (im goin to use these guys in support of my treeman so he dosnt get charged and tied up for the game)

16 glade guard full command 216 (these guy are now a special choice because of the wild hunt rule)

16 glade guard full command 216

subtotal:892

Rare
Giant eagle 50 (if i actually play any one with 4000 points theyre goin to have lots of warmachines so it will be reasuring to see these guy tear the crews to shreads)

Giant eagle 50

Giant eagle 50

Treeman 285 (with 4000 points how i not have one of these guys)

No, it's your style of writing that reminds me of some Japanese people I read text from on various forums. No offense meant. Anyway, are the pics almost up already? ;)

oh and none offence taken i actully get that alot

do you think that the characters to troops point ratio is good i got severly betten 4 days ago because of the fact that i used alot of charaters compeared to my troops and i was playing againts the new orcs at gw against one of the staffso i was all ready severly outnumbered

Seems like a very big list to start with, but then if you have alot of it already it will make the task easier. Shame we don't have pictures, seeing as this is a painting and modelling forum it is kind of the done thing ;)

Also, if you're going to post so many almost consecutive thoughts do you think you could just edit your last post. That was quite tiring to read this thread seeing as the bulk of it is posts by you, most within minutes of each other.

Get some pics up, it would be great to see such a big warhost (that is the right term for Wodd Elf army isn't it ?).
