I know it's not the best list, but I tend to play without dryads, although if they're really necesary I could make an exception.
I highly apreciate it if you guys give it a read!

Although I'm new to wood elves myself I believe most people would agree to stay away from Eternal Guard mostly because of how frail and expensive they are and instead pick up some fast cavalry or trees. Also your a bit heavy on characters IMO, get more units instead.

I play wood elves more than any army I have. I have found that most people know wood elves are pretty bad and will be a little accomidating on terrain not to mention being able to place an additional forest. Dryads make great use of forest since they are stubborn inside. Mostly though wood elves have a very frustrating time winning without treekin, dryads and treemen(though at this point range you cant really afford it)

Remember that you cannot combine a magical bow with magical arrows in the same phase.

Your glade guard shouldn't be moving much so no need for a musician or anything of the sorts they are toast if something reaches them.

Wardancers will die instantly to any shooting as they will be singled out as by far the most important unit in your list, Maybe sub them out for warhawk riders so you can get to enemy warmachines if that's likely something you will be facing, remember all Flying Cav is fast Cav.
