If you go down to the woods today...

After a few weeks using the Empire under 8th edition i find myself becoming frustrated with their play-style and their army book. And by all rights they are one of the strongest armies now in 8th edition, however i find myself becoming increasingly annoyed by the army book and so its time for a change. I dug out my Wood Elf army after leaving it in a case for over a year whilst i get my Empire up and running and i decided to give my 'first love' a try in 8th edition. I was apprehensive at first because a lot of the units i used to use like Wardancers are now pretty much obsolete and so i have 16 of those i can't use. After a few games and a few lists, i think i have found a list which suits my play-style once again and is competent in the new ruleset. At 3k points we have:

Lords

Spellweaver, Level 4, Great Eagle, Wand of the Wych Elm (Lore of Life)

Spellweaver, Moonstone of the Hidden Ways (Lore of Beasts) Joins the 30 Glade Guard

Heroes

Noble, Wild Rider Kindred, Elven Steed, Helm of the Hunt, Hail of Doom Arrow

Core

30 Glade Guard, Banner, Musician, Banner of the Eternal Flame

14 Glade Guard, Musician

14 Glade Guard, Musician

16 Dryads

Special

6 Treekin

11 Wild Riders, Full Command, Banner of Swiftness

Rare

Treeman

Treeman

That comes to just shy of 3000 points and has won games against a VC grave guard regen list and a Skaven list with a furnace, bell and double hellpits.

I have another 2 games today against a different VC list and the same Skaven player. Hopefully i can get the same kind of results against those. I'll Post the games up later.
