Hi, im playing a friend fairly often, but this was my first battle against him with my WE. My list was: Noble with armour and Gw and starfires. BW with mage and dispel sprite and hit on 6`s. Spellsinger upgraded and with power stone i forgot. 10 guards, 2X8 dryads, eagle, 10 wardancers with muso and champ, 4 tree kin with champ and 6 GR with muso and champ. His list was AS with Skink Chief with some shooting staff, salamander, 2X25 saurus, 10 skinks with pipes, 10 skinks with javs and shields, 10 temple guard and scar veteran. I had really bad luck, so my riders was shot down by skinks with 1 kill in return. My dryads got shot at and lost 3, tree kin took out stegadon for 1 kill in return, eagle took a wound of salamander and held up the sal and temple guards. My dryads killed off a bunch of warriors, but all got killed (i ran, rolled 11 and guess what he rolled... 11). My wardancers killed off the salamander and overran into the temple guards. All of mine got killed, and he lost 2 (rolled 8 4+ wards and got 6 1`s and 2 3`s. So, yeah...).I barely made draw thanks to his weak mage def and my tree sing-spam. I pretty much chose my combats, and with normal luck it would have been a solid victory. I charged mostly fronts just to get a feel on the armys strength and weaknesses. But next time he will bring a more solid list and less terrain, so what units are good against LM?
Cheers!

Well?

So what you are asking is:

Yes, that`s what i`m asking (it was night, i was tired ).
Do you have any tips?

Drop the treekin champ, 1 attack for how many points, not worth it imho.

As said above, drop the Tree-kin champion, its 20 or so points you could spend elsewhere. From what you have said your list was it seems to be less then 2000pts as there are no lords present. Divide the war dancers into two groups, that way you can use them more flexibly. Throw in some Waywatchers who can either shoot at the saurus and hopefully get some killing blow, or they can also do quite well against skinks. Regardless you will always get at least one 5' inch forest, and most reasonable opponents will give you at least one or two more forests, as where else would wood elves fight? As long as you make sure you don't fight one on one against any unit you should be fine, joint charges are key to wood elves, fighting fair is for other armies.
