Hello guys, after a long break from Fantasy I have finally decided to get back into the swing of things by rebuilding my Wood Elf army! I have play tested a few times borrowing my friends armies and feel that I have come up with an army that I feel fits the Sethayla theme that I am used to and be competitive at the same time. Now in this list I wanted to use a combination of both my favorite unit (Waywatchers) and my new favorite model (Wild Riders) from the Wood Elf line. This is my first attempt in a long time at putting together a list so please any and all thoughts and comments are more then welcome and appreciated, thanks for posting!

LORDS AND HEROES:

-Spellweaver Level 4 "General"
*w/ Elven Steed, Acorn of Ages, Lore of Shadow, Beasts or Fire

-Spellsinger Level 1
*w/ Elven Steed, Dispel Scroll, Asrai Longbow, Iron Curse Icon, Lore of Beasts, Life or Fire

-Glade Captain BSB
*w/ Elven Steed, Enchanted Shield, Hail of Doom Arrow

CORE:

-(x5) x10 Glade Guard
*w/ Hagbane/Trueflight Arrows

SPECIAL:

-(x3) x8 Wild Riders
*w/ Full Command, x1 Banner of Eternal Flame, Shields

-x7 Sisters of the Thorn (*Spellweaver, Spellsinger & BSB Here*)
*w/ Musician, Lichebone Pennant

RARE:

-(x3) x10 Waywatchers

TOTAL ARMY: 2999 POINTS

Tactics:

-Command Bunker kept safe with Ward Save and Fast Cavalry Sisters of the Thorn keeping them out of harms way and maneuvering the banner into position.

-x50 Glade Guard with Trueflight or Poison Arrows being able to deal with a large variety of opponents to bring the pain every single shooting phase.

-x3 units of Wild Riders to act as Counter Attack units, preferably utilizing the terrain, in particular the woods created by the Acorn of Ages, have used this to great effect. Place the trees in the middle (most of the time after scatter they remain there for the most part) and then deploy to keep my army safe from shooting. Almost always my opponent tries to march throw the trees and several times I have met him in the woods and slaughtered entire regiments by winning combat resolution with my Wild Riders.

-x30 Waywatchers to bring even more pain in the Shooting phase with priority targets being heavily armored infantry and magically protected units (White Lion BOTWD Horde for example).

Why not run glade riders? Fast cav > infantry. And. AND. They ambush.
