The Wood Elves are a great army to both collect and field on the tabletop. The variety of units available to the defenders of Athel Loren is great, which means that you can shape your army to fit the tactics and themes you favour. What's more, the Wood Elf models look amazing and are a joy to convert and paint. This section will tell you how to get started building your Wood Elf army.

Collecting, painting, and fielding a brand-new army for Warhammer may seem a bit daunting at first. Fear not! On the following pages (in this section of the Wood Elves site), you'll find loads of useful information on how to assemble your models and then give them a basic paint job with a minimal number of colours. There's even a simple scenario you can play with a friend while you gradually amass your Wood Elf army.

It's time to get started, so gather your clippers, glue, and paints. Armies don't paint themselves you know!
