Official references
Shoot from hiding
Waywatchers are at their best when the enemy does not know where they are. Use forests and cover, pick high-value targets such as characters or crew, and move before the enemy can respond.
They are not a melee unit. Keep them away from cavalry and flyers, and let Glade Guard and Tree Kin take the main line while Waywatchers work from the edges.
Where they come from
Waywatchers belong to the core Wood Elf roster from Realm of the Wood Elves and are one of the race's advanced archer units.
Drycha's forest-spirit campaign has separate recruitment restrictions, so check her roster before planning around elven archers.
A skirmishing army
Wood Elves win by shooting and moving. Glade Guard provide volume, Waywatchers precision, and forest spirits hold the enemy where the archers can see it.
Orion and Durthu come with Realm of the Wood Elves; the Sisters of Twilight come with The Twisted & The Twilight.
