= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The roundears have cannon crews and gun crews and sunburst crews. You've got archers with bombs strapped to them.
 
Legolas and company have/are an offensive toolbox. Their RAT is kinda low, so it's more common than not to stand still to get the Aim bonus.
 
=== Combos & Synergies ===
The Archers' main drawback is their poor RAT. Anything that can fix it tags along nicely with them.
 
* [[Lord Arcanist Ossyan]] - his gun is a built-in solution for RAT fixing, and his feat gives Brutal Shot a new meaning
* [[Ravyn, Eternal_Light]] - so far your only caster with Snipe, and a feat which allows you to deliver very accurate, and potentially long range, Brutal Damage shots.
* [[Adeptis_Rahn|Rahn]] - Force Hammer can knock targets down, while Telekinesis increases the threat range by up to 2" and maybe effective RAT +2.
* [[Issyria,_Sibyl_of_Dawn|Issyria]] - her feat helps control your attack/damage dice, and solves issues with Stealth.
* [[Banshee]] and [[Arcantrik Force Generator]]- good sources for knockdown on your target.
* House Shyeel Magister - Combo Smite or Force Bolt can both knockdown as well (or even Whipsnap to reposition one of them if you can pull it off).
* The [[Theme_-_Defenders_of_Ios|Defenders of Ios]] theme gives them Reposition - excellent tool to move in once your targets is dead, or fall back if you failed to cause damage.
* [[Houseguard Thane]] - Use his Firing Solution when you want to engage stealthy models.
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* For a bunch of elite elven archers, their RAT is pretty low. Find ways to knock the enemy down or fix their RAT one way or the other.
* Brutal Damage and Star Strike need a direct hit, and the latter also needs the fire effect to work. In the armor-heavy world of MK3 it's less useful.
 
=== Tricks & Tips ===
* Got trouble with stealth infantry and no Thane around to help you out? Use the Snipe attack type and blind-fire AOEs into their general direction. Even if they miss, with some lucky scatter a few blast usually land among the unit and kill or wound several. Don't forget that there is always a reasonable chance of their 3" AOE hitting a small based model (scatter distance 1-2 always hits... because maths!).

Unit Rules

A unit is a group of models that band together. They've got special deployment rules and activation rules.

  • All models of a unit are Trooper models.
  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)
Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.

Stormfall archers are walking artillery batteries who can unleash a firestorm of destruction from an arsenal of alchemical ammunition. Requiring only their great compound bows to send their firepower across the battlefield, these archers are quite unlike the slow-moving cannon crews of the human kingdoms.
