in the way of the wizards i dont know what lore of magic i should take because all i have ever known is life and beast and to be honest i dont think either will really help this list so any recommendation to what school of magic i should take that would be great.

any over all advice and tips would be great i am hear to lean about the new book

thank you

If you run beast, you will get +2 to cast if in the woods and casting on the wold riders or treekin, throw a treeman in also to justify having a beast mage.

As for eternal guard, not sure what to do with them. I have 20 in my list because the models are to awesome not to use. I stuck a branchwraith and a shadowdancer hero with potion of might in the unit. Worked well.

Treekin are monstrous infantry and gain no bonus from lore of beast. The bonus isn't +1 to cast, it reduces the casting value of the spell; the difference being that it is easier for you to cast a spell without making it harder for me to dispel.

As for the list:
Spend the 1 point per model to make the 15 gladeguard scouts. You've got more than enough core, and gaining scout and skirmish is totally worth 1 points.
Warhawk riders > Treekin.

For lores, I'd go shadow and dark magic. You can bunker the characters in the eternal guard, and then pop the moonstone when an enemy gets uncomfortably close. With the acorn, you'll have plenty of options to pop into. Being able to teleport your unit and pop off a black horror vortex is pretty rad.

so Matt

are you saying to throw both wizards in to the same unit?

and with the warhawk being better then treekin you see i wanted a unit to hold up large blocks of units when people come for my wizard in the bunker so this will then allow me to get flank and rear charges on them with my wild riders

no with the scouts the point of that group is to have the flaming attacks for trolls, ect and if i make them scouts then i feel like i would need to take true filght arrows or hag bane arrows more so true flight because i feel like i will be moving and shooting then maybe long range putting me at 5 to hit and since the average T is about 4 i need as many shot to hit so i can wound them.

for lores i was looking over after i made the first post ii was now thinking shadow on the lvl 2 but for the lvl 4 i still had no idea i will look into dark

thank you
