| “ | The definitive Wood Elf warriors within the armies of Athel Loren, bolstered by magical, poisoned arrow-tips for additional advantage. | „ |
Glade Guard (Hagbane Tips) are a 
Wood Elves missile infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with Realm of The Wood Elves.
Recruitment[ | ]
Unlocked with: Glade Guard Hide
Description[ | ]
When Athel Loren goes to war, it is the Glade Guard who form the core of the army. Each Elven household fights together on the battlefield with disparate kinbands, combining to create one or more formal regiments under the command of a lesser Lord or Lady of the realm. The Wood Elf army can only seem haphazard and slightly disorganised to outsiders, for each band of Glade Guard is expected to follow the general's broad instructions but, at the same time, is encouraged to take the initiative when the opportunity presents itself. Such a principle often leads to an overlapping line of battle, with individual Glade Guard kinbands advancing and retreating like blown leaves in a storm, all the while pouring volleys of arrows into the foe.
Attributes[ | ]
- Missile Infantry
- ▲ Forest Stalker: The Elves of Athel Loren gain bonuses to melee defence and accuracy while fighting within the forest.
- ▲ Good Range: This unit has a larger range than most other units of the same class. This allows it to take out hostile missile units before they can come into firing range.
- ▲ Poison Attacks: The poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage and/or apply the Poison! debuff.
Strategy[ | ]
Glade Guard with poisoned (envenomed really) arrows that also do magical damage. Even if the magical damage isn't need, the poison effect alone justifies the slightly higher cost.
