Adventurer's Guild

I've been looking into running some fantasy games again using WFB . What I don't understand is why archers are so poor. I've discussed this at length with several people and my primary problem as I see it is the fact I am running high elves. In Warhammer, you required to field a percentage of point value in Core troops. Now that isn't such a big deal, but I am trying to decide whether to put my points into Silver Helms or Archers. The new models for the Lothern Sea Guard are amazing. I do already have a pile of Silver Helms and forty archers though, so my dilemma revolves around what is the best way forward.

For me it was a good exercise, and I learned a few things. What bothered me was simply forgetting some of the simple things, hated flipping back and forth between the books, and unfortunately I am not sure when the next game is going to come again. It is like I want to be more committed to playing, but at the same time I want to keep moving forward on our D&D game. Without further rambling though, here is a list of what I learned or would rather remember next time- Throw Grenades - when you are really close to the enemy, select a model to toss a shooting attack. The Thunderwolf Cavalry my buddy was playing would have been unengaged soon if it would have hit on a flamer with a grenade. It is important whenever you are playing against someone with two wounds per figure to roll as many high strength attacks as possible separately to rem...
