Announcement: Some of the Graphics have a couple of mistakes and for that we are very sorry. It is a lot of data to reproduce and do fast and so we haven't given ourselves much wiggle room on editing and proof reading. We hope you understand and we will try harder in the future.
Loads of thanks.
The Square Based team
Is there a comment somewhere that has the edits to what mistakes there were and the correct info? Thanks! Love your content.
It’s amazing you produced it so quickly from some blurry screenshots.
Wadda ya mean!?? I'm super excited about Glad Guard with BS 5.. maybe not my opponents? :)
Love what you are doing for the community.
@@bennyboy5374 it’s still “step up” so while causalities are removed from the rear as a model perspective, the ones dying are in the front rank so they lose attacks as models die before they attack
The sheer amount of effort put into this clear and very easy to follow presentation is very much appriciated. Most blokes just mumble about in a book they've seemed to have opened mere seconds prior to filming.
Thankyou for the compliment. We believe you deserve the best content we can make
Can't wait until he does the high elves
This was exactly the video I was hoping it would be, looking forward to the Warriors of Chaos one but going to watch them all
I appreciate that so much thankyou!!!
I like the part where they talk about models that inhabit square bases
And some of them are on rectangles!! It’s like 2 squares hearts become one.
So much better than man reads book. Love it! ~30min is perfect length. I appreciate getting insight and theory crafting as well as rules displayed, can’t wait to see the rest
Thankyou so much. Man who reads book reads so we can teach
The best Old World content out there, from someone who doesn’t even have the book! Thanks Rob, really enjoying you and Val’s coverage of Old World. Going to join Patreon now.
That means so much. Can only do this full time if we get support so thankyou
LET’S GOOO!!! SQUARE BASSED. Thanks for making a genuinely informative yet concise take on the datasheets and rules Rob. Quality as usual
My pleasure x
Seconding this sentiment. Clear, clean, and informative.
This quality of army discussion video is unparalleled. The hard work shows. Thank you.

Means so much. Thankyou
Really hope we see a Beastmen vs. Wood Elves box, I want to bulk out both of those armies and I hope we see some great new models!
I was a wood elf player from 6th all the way to warhammer armies project, and I have to say I'm actually really excited about what they have done with the army list. My spooky forest Boys are looking fun
You've blown away everything I seen. I love this and can keep up and actually get what to expect from units. Well done.
Please keep making these. By far the best faction review/discussion I have seen.
New one up later I hope
oh man cant wait to get back in this.. i used to run 2 units of archers, 3 glade riders, wardancers and a wardancer lord.. it was sooo fun running circles on the table
There's a guy I play HH with that was asking about how to get into the game and what wood elves were like. Sent him a bunch of vids like man reads book and old eefl posts. Then this vid dropped and he said it was the most helpful thing he's found about them. Keep making great stuff dude
That makes me so happy
Keep these army overviews coming please!
One a day or I die
No die. Yes overviews.@@SquareBasedOldWorld
Thanks for taking the time to put this together Rob. I've been keeping one eye opening on the OW stuff as it came out and Wood Elves would be the one thing to pull me back in if I do and so to have this information so awesomely presented is a great resource for someone like me wanting to have a peak behind the curtain before dipping any toes into the water just yet. Keep up the great work! :)
Please don't stop doing this kind of content. Love getting more army overviews in The Old World. Thanks for creating awesome videos on the CZcamss!
I'm scrubbing 15 year-old paint off of Glade Guard and rebasing to 25mm. It's just wonderful, the sculpts look nicer on a larger square. The arrow options are gonna be fun, and I hope we don't have to wait too long for our refresh. And seeing good reviews like this makes it that much more exciting.
I hope you have the best time!
twine for bowstrings is a nice add-on as well, to go with arrows. I've seen wire and string used, but I prefer twine.
I still don't understand why GW makes living tree flammable but oh well.
Is a tree?
@@SquareBasedOldWorld go try to light a living tree on fire. You can't. Green, aka living wood, does not burn. It's mostly water. Dead wood burns.
Lord in eternal guard, tolled up with a hail of doom arrow slipped in there for either a shooting boost of a nasty stand and shoot was always a favourite of mine
Great content guys. I’ve seen so many videos of other big channels (who likely got sent all these books well before release) mumble through the book in a non-structured format without really adding any thoughts or insights.
Bravo
Oh crap, I actually gave a lot of my old wood elf armies away!
This is fantastic, Rob. Very quick and concise which is quite hard to do at times. This gave me something to chew on now so, I thank you sir. Super excited!
YESSS more Square Based content.
Thanks for the support xx
I love that you just got to the thicket/thick of it. Gold
Thank you babe
The army I always wanted to collect! Thanks, this is the first Old World content on them I've seen.
Already liked the video but coming back after hearing your comments in the most recent podcast...this video is REALLY GOOD. It's by far the best Old World content out there at the moment, it was very clear and the graphics are top notch. Thank you #squarebassed team. Looking forward to the Bretonnia guide.
Awesome stuff, glad to see Wood Elves a favorite of mine.
Loved this video and I can’t wait to watch your breakdowns on the other armies!
One of my favourite armies. Loving this Rob!! Loved the little theme taster at the start. Maybe show some possible
Minis for each unit for players new to each army (could be a seperate video and include GW minis and non Gw minis/STLs. I’d watch all of those)
You have the best TOW reviews on CZcams. Keep it up! Looking forward to Beastmen. 😅
Going as fast as I can!! Thanks for the comment
Thanks very much for going through the list like this - this is exactly what players want to see before getting back into the game.
I like that you put up text between shots of you talking. Too many are just talking about the rules with either out of focus book shots or no text. I like being able to read it to help in remembering it. thank you Rob.
Preordered the books but this is the army box I am waiting for.
Definitely looking forward to any future videos about this army.
This was fantastic. My fear is that each one of these will make me want to start a new army!
Hey that's not on me! Don't put that evil in me ricky bobby
Great Video, it looks like they put a bunch of love into the Wood Elves, they sound incredibly formidable.
This is the stuff we want and need. Thank you Rob, super exhited for all the vidios to come!
Also thank you Val, you are great too
Square Based is just absurdly good all round - sky is the limit for this channel ladz!
appreciate that!
Thank you for making this video Rob, I love it.
My pleasure. More to come
My inner child is sooo excited at the prospect of wood elves! I'll have to watch again, but subscribed to the patreon, amazing work thanks!
Oh wow!! Thanks for the support
Another great overview vid cheers. Would love to have pictures of the models accompanying the explains.
Thank you for this. As someone thinking about getting into this game this was a huge help.
What a great upload
Really got my blood pumping for TOW
It’s nice here all your positive vibe's
👍💪
Great summary - thanks for taking the time to make it !!
Forestwalk to Treeman Ancient to teleport it to Large Woodsinged template to teleport your big scary walking tree to better Tree Whack opponents? Nice!
Great content and useful analysis of str and weaknesses.
I think the “arrow line” is totally fine for games where ppl know what is being bought but has big weaknesses, the biggest being “will my opponent enjoy playing me” it could be just as bad as playing boring gunlines & very likely be nurtured by TOs.
As a long time WE player the previous edition influences still keep this faction one of the harder ones to master and imho should be approached as “multiple types of units” armies as trying to mitigate weaknesses is key to WE going well rather then leaning on shooting.
Perfect guide to the basics of the army, can't wait for more
Yeah, you’re smashing these. A lot of more effort put in than other vids. Cheers rob. Dwarves next!
Dwarves next or else you're going in the book! You may or may not already be in the book for doing elves first...
This. Is. AWESOME❤
Holy moly, everything I've ever wanted in a single video. ❤
THANKS XXX
Big thanks for this excellent overview of the army with clean easily readable unit cards. ❤❤😊
I am very excited about running a unit of wardancers with a shadowdancer.
I'd love to see more like this. Subscribed and now waiting for the Dwarfs.
Incredibly well put together, well done guys! New player to old/fanasty Warhammer so i was hoping to find a video that balanced rule breakdowns and character/unit descriptions and you did just that! Blown away and i cannot wait to follow your helpful insights for this game in the future 🙌
Thanks so much David!!
absolutely love these videos Rob, deadset legend
OH HELL YEAH DANNNNNNNY
MY ARMY!! 😢 And so early! How lucky! Gonna watch multiple times.
Share it far and wide
Love the overviews! Can't wait to learn more about Warriors of Chaos, Orcs, Lizardmen
Most notable compared to earlier editions: archer units of size 5!!!!
Perfect! I will have many many archers
That's a lot of work for this vid! Could you guys upload them as podcasts too please?
Being done already
my army getting the first guide, blessed lol
Share it to any wood elf spaces
Totally fantastic dude! Hyped
This pleases me! Time to rebuild that Wood Elf army!
I've pulled out my woodelf army from the early 00's. I traded a beast man army but never assembled or painted it. Have been out the hobby for 18 years but keen to get my woodelves on the tabletop
Hope you have a great time!
So...so helpful. Thanks Rob!
I appreciate the comment so much thanks
good job guys useful, clear, well read content
This was a great watch. Never played fantasy and tempted by Wood Elves for Old World. As ever your content is amazing Rob, look forward to more of these for the other factions.
Appreciate you thanks
I keep coming back to this video in between list building, there seems to a lot of different ways to run wood elves in this edition. I love it.
Is it helpful?? Hope so
@@SquareBasedOldWorld Yes all of your content is great for getting an idea of the rules, and the nuances of the of this new edition. This one is also great since I don't have rules yet and want to get an idea of what to bring in my first games. I keep trying to figure out what to bring. I really want to try maxing terror, panic arrows and all the different minus to leadership stuff.
Good job guys. I'm happy to see this stuff. Keep. It. Coming.
Excellent video! Genuinely a useful resource that I can see people coming back to reference over time (if we do get a fairly stable forge world style meta like heresy/mesbg). Please keep this up to do full coverage of the factions! Cant wait for the empire, itll hype me to get them out of storage.
Your videos are damn awesome! Thanks for all this amazing work!
Wow. That's such a great compliment!! Thanks
YES!!!!! This was the one Ive been waiting for!!!! WoooHooooooooo bring on the woodie!!!’n
Thanks so much Rob. I know it's been a hard time getting these out and we appreciate you immensely for doing it. Don't kill yourself to get it done though, we understand if it takes an extra day
Thanks so much for that!
great video and really helpful for starting out with Wood Elves having never played them before
Wood Elves and Ogres have been my favorite armies since 6th and it looks like they kept the woodies awesome flavor. Great work on the video!
Thanks so much for your support
Great Overview! Hype!
My favourite faction ❤️. I had them many years ago, but not anymore. Old world will give me the chance to rectify this. Got the books & map on pre-order for now. Plan on building the treemen, dryads & treekin using some sylveneth my aos army also. Thanks, Rob, for the overview. You & val with all your hype has got me hyped once again, having started fantasy in the 4th edition.
SQUAREB-ASSED LETS GOO ❤🔥No sleep 'til GW confirms full TOW Legacy army compatibility
Def starting WELVES thanks for the vid
Jim they are busted I reckon but you can do some amazing stuff
Very well put together and delivered - thanks.
You rule thankyou
@@SquareBasedOldWorld I'm really looking forward to the Dwarfs one. Right now I'm not looking forward to my Dwarfs having to go up against these Elves though!
This isn't half assed "man read book content." There's a lot of enthusiasm in this. I just came from the Warriors of Chaos video and I'm definitely enjoying this format of videos. Please do all the armies! And thanks for the info and entertainment!
Amazing content, thank you very much for your awesome work.
Glad you enjoy it! Thankyou x
I’ve loved your commentary so far, but this rules review/dive is really quality stuff. Look forward to watching along to the rest of them.
The Wood Elves feel like they have a good showing here. A tricky, finesse army that in the right hands are going to run rings round the plethora of Bret and TK armies out there. Feels like a good representation of the army with some of the best aspects of their 6th and 8th iterations.
PRAISE HASHUT
except what i have seen so far wood elfs are getting wiped easily by brets and tk and probably by other armies. Wood elf shooting is made pretty bad and if you want it to be better its overcosted compared to other armies. Also most of the wood elf cc unit just get rekt byt other armies cc troops.
This was an amazing guide! Please make one for the orcs and goblins aswell! :D
I’ve always liked the idea of a complete Forest Spirit army. As I’m reading the list and understand your walkthrough I would always need a unit of Glade Guards.
Excited for this!
So glad x
"I hate that joke, I'm not putting it in" 😂
Hahahaha
8:24 skipped the bad part of arrow of Kurnous, the enemy get +1 when rolling to get the first turn. Getting the first turn is very good for WE as they can then shoot first and hopefully taking out most part of the enemies archers
What they have done with wood elves is incredible; 4 different arrow types! This will also allow for some great but simple conversions; flaming arrows, arrows dripping with green poison!
Flaming arrows will look so cool
Great Work. Tomb kings next please since I am still throbbing with exitement and want to keep riding the high😂
Buzzing for the others to be done, square blessed 🙏🏼
Square blessed
Flammable is neat 🔥
You are neat
Great video! Really like the mix of army overview and first impressions. I also feel like you hit somewhat of a sweet spot with how long to show the rules graphics. I couldn't read most of it in the time it was up, but it was up just long enough to skim and decide whether I wanted to pause the video to read or not. I like this kind of information-dense reference video that are perfect for rewatching (already am).
As someone who haven't engaged with rectangular based games since the mid 90's (and who's visualization abilities are mostly non-existent), I was really hoping to see an example at the end of the video of how a WE army *could* look like. You were already kinda giving a loose outline of your ideas for a WE army throughout the video. It would have been very helpful for me to have that summed up as a text or graphic at the end.
EDIT: It wouldn't even need to have exact points values. Just a somewhat rough outline of what an army *could* look like. Basically, more or less what you were describing verbally - but presented visually :)
Maybe even just a 1250 pts example 'army list' rather than a full 2000 (1999?) pts army? As the only real points of comparison that currently exist are the TK and Bret boxes.
Thanks for the hard wood, I knew you wouldn't let me down.
Ill never let you fall baby
Big fan of this video and love the information. Hope to see one for every army!
There will be. Please help support us by sharing far and wide
Really want play Wood Elves now lol.
I hope GW drop some new models for them.
Thank you for the amazing work you do for us all.
plastic Warhawks and/or Treekin would be the musts
The scuttlebutt is the 9 factions will be released in paired boxsets - with possibly Orcs and Goblins being split into two separate, respective releases. Each release will likely contain some new models, mirroring what the Brets and TKs got, likely cool centerpiece models, and possibly a redo of some old sculpts.
WE got lots of new miniatures in the final editions of WHFB, and things like Sisters of the Thorn and Wild Riders don't look as "aged" as models from other ranges. But their characters need some love for sure.
Love this break down. Got the special rules on the screen is top as it can be missed. Can’t wait for you break down the rest.
Sub activated!
Thanks for the support
Hearing unit names definitely brought back memories of my orcs and goblins trying to cross a no terain table to my friends wood elf army.
Thank you for the great coverage of The Old World. Looking forward to the Orcs and Goblins video :)
Gonna be spicy
square base hype! cant wait to see the rest of the army guide series ^^
Over the next few weeks
