When building a Warhammer army, the best place to begin is its respective Army book. These books are indispensable, as they not only provide you with the complete rules and army lists for your Wood Elves army, but the books also contain guides to painting, assembling, and selecting your army – plus you'll learn the background of these warriors of Athel Loren, a story you can find nowhere else.

Warhammer Armies: Wood Elves is one in a series of Warhammer Armies supplements. Each book in the series describes an army, its history, and its heroes in detail. Inside, you will find:

The Denizens of Athel Loren
A description of the origins of the Wood Elves and their pact with the forest of Athel Loren. Information on the Wood Elves and Forest Spirits as well as the history of the Wood Elves and how their destiny entwines with the fate of the Warhammer world.

Blessings of Isha
The magic items of the Wood Elves, in addition to the powerful enchantments woven by the Elven Spellsingers.

Lords and Ladies of The Forest
Rules and background for some of the mighty heroes of the Wood Elves: Orion, King in the Woods; the embittered Dryad, Drycha; and the mysterious twins Naestra and Arahan.

Collecting A Wood Elf Army
A reference for collectors, introducing the miniatures and suggested colour schemes for your Wood Elf army.

The inhabitants of Athel Loren are mysterious and secretive beings, rarely seen beyond their forest homeland and thus little understood by the outside world. In the defence of their woodland realm, the Wood Elves and their allies are deadly and unforgiving. They follow a path walked by no other, and often appear capricious or cruel, though in truth each harmful act they perform is always balanced by one of beneficence.
