Master the Art of Elven Warfare
The Glade Riders represent the pinnacle of mounted archery and cavalry tactics. These exceptional warriors possess supernatural Elven reflexes that allow them to perform seemingly impossible feats - from firing backwards while riding at full gallop through dense woodland to darting through enemy ranks with unflappable confidence. Their deep mystical bond with their steeds transcends normal rider-mount relationships, creating a unity where horse and rider move as one seamless entity.
Complete Miniature Set Specifications
This multipart plastic kit contains everything needed to build 12 fully-equipped Glade Riders for your Wood Elf Realms army. Each miniature comes with authentic Asrai longbows for devastating ranged attacks, cavalry spears for close combat charges, and hand weapons for versatile battlefield engagement. The models feature interchangeable components including multiple head options, weapon configurations, and leg positions, allowing for extensive customization and unique army builds.
Tactical Advantages & Game Mechanics
In Warhammer: The Old World gameplay, Glade Riders function as premium light cavalry units costing 18 points per model with a minimum unit size of 5 models. They excel in hit-and-run tactics, using their superior mobility to position for optimal longbow shots before executing devastating cavalry charges against weakened or isolated enemy units. Their Troop Type classification as Light Cavalry provides exceptional battlefield flexibility, while their 30x60mm base size ensures proper unit formation and movement mechanics.
Professional Assembly & Painting
These high-quality plastic miniatures arrive unpainted and require assembly using plastic model cement. The detailed sculpting showcases intricate Wood Elf armor designs, flowing cloaks, ornate horse tack, and individually crafted facial expressions. Advanced hobbyists will appreciate the fine detail work possible with acrylic paints, while beginners can achieve excellent results with basic painting techniques. Each model offers multiple customization opportunities for creating unique regiment appearances.
Strategic Battlefield Roles
Glade Riders serve multiple tactical functions in Wood Elf armies. As mobile fire support, they provide long-range archery harassment while maintaining the speed to reposition quickly. Their cavalry capabilities make them excellent for flank attacks, pursuing routing enemies, or protecting more valuable units from enemy fast attack forces. Many commanders utilize multiple small units of 5-6 Glade Riders to create flexible, fast-moving threats that force opponents to divide their attention across the battlefield.
Perfect for All Skill Levels
Whether you're a veteran Warhammer player returning to the Old World or a newcomer to fantasy tabletop gaming, Glade Riders offer an ideal entry point into Wood Elf armies. Their straightforward rules combined with tactical depth provide rewarding gameplay experiences, while the modeling opportunities satisfy both casual painters and competition-level artists.
