2k Balanced List (first 2k)

Hey. I've out grown the battalion army and picked up some great ebay deals, so here is one of my first 2k lists. I have all the models expect the treeman, which is next on the want list. I play TK, DE, HE, Dwarves, and soon O&G and Brets. I have always liked and done well with balanced lists. I'm not the kind to tailor too much.

Please let me know what you think. You guys have definitely helped shape my Fantasy outlook and WE direction.

It will bother some of you that I don't have a noble, I'd consider droping WW or warhawks plus a few points for one. Let me know if you think this is necessary. I also know that many don't find spellsinger and wraith to be enough in the magic department but I've had luck with them. Here is the list...

Heroes
Treeman Ancient: mischieves, murder of spites, AoN, shrikes
*I really like this set up. The shrikes have a decent chance of knocking out a unit champion so I can get my limbs on a hero. I like Mischieves because it just adds more bound spells plus if it works I can somewhat dictate which unit attacks my treeman.
Branchwraith: cluster, lvl 1, lamentation
Spellsinger: lvl 2, power stone, dispel scroll

Core
8 dryads: nymph
10 GG: musician
10 GG: musician
6 GR: musician

Special
6 Wardancers: musician
6 WR: full command
3 Warhawk Riders
4 Treekin

Rare:
5 Waywatchers

Points: 1995
Model Count: 60

I will likely swap the lamentation spite for a warbanner in the WR. Other than that, what do you think? What will I have problems with among my common enemies?

Nice list, the only thing I don't like is having only 6 wardancers. I would drop a glade rider for another wardancer and make one a champ if you have the extra points with maybe dropping a glade guard musician.

Other than that, looks great, I don't mind going without a noble.

I bought direct order wardancers so I dont have enough to make a group of seven. I'm working on that though.

Lose the 4th treekin. Change the waywatchers to regular scouts. Drop the nymph.

Use the points to buy more dryads or another unit of archers. The staple core units of the WE army are really among the best in the game.

Drop the champion on the WD units. I've run both for a long time and finally decided that it's better to without the bladesinger. War Dancers already get so many attacks, and sometimes the champion is a detriment when he gets challenged. I find the points can go towards something else, like a great eagle.

The spellsinger could be lvl 1 and still accomplish something.

A Great Eagle would really compliment your Warhawks.

I would probably do something like this. (And I haven't checked the points, just guestimated)

Treeman Ancient: your pick

Thanks David for the comments.

I would definitely like to add more dryads and archers but I haven't got the models yet. As I hinted above, I just bought all the special units (3 warhawks, wardancers, 6 WR, 4 treekin) and waywatchers off ebay at 60% off! Next, I will get a treeman, eagle, and another battalion to bulk up my forces. So...for now, I am stuck with one group of dryads and two of GG. This list is simply a balanced assortment of the models I have on hand.

I haven't run the bladesinger before. I put him in the squad to help body guard heroes accompanying them but the spellsinger in this list isnt going to need it so I'll drop it.

The nymph is used in the above roll and has worked for me nicely so I'll keep it for a while.

Ive only used waywatchers a few times but they been exceedingly helpful (especially psychologically). When I get more archers, I will use GG scouts (though I could just use my waywatchers as them).

Is a 4th treekin helpful at all. He'd be the first thing I'd lose if I was looking for points, but considering the above limitations, is there anything I need to spend points on?

Thanks again.
