Need a little help for my army list

Since I decided to change my army (because little stubborn dwarves started to irritate me), I found that there are meny skilled players on this forum.
After a deep thinking and a little research on the internet, I decided that Wood Elves are probably army that suits me best.
So, I need a little help from you guys about the army list which will be best suited for a little ,,home made'' tournamet with my friends. There are five of us, and I'm pretty sure what will those guys bring up, so I wanna hear what you think.

First of my opponents is a Dark elf player, very good at tactics with his hating elvese! He will probably bring a Dark elf lord on Black dragon, with hidra blade and ring of darkness. Also, he uses a lot of repeater crossbowman (about 30 of them), 2 units of cold one kinghts, chariot, hydra & two sorceress with 2 dispell scrolls (so that menas 4 dislepll scrolls in total)

There will be another one Dark elf player, but this one is going for as many infantry as he can. He will probably bring Dark elf lord on Black dragon (but he is changing his magic items in every game). He will bring one unit of Black guards, and one unit of Executioners. He likes to play with Culdron fo Blood, and one unit of Cold one Knights with battle standard bearer (hydra banner probably).
Both of these players have one unit of shades, and assassin.

One player that goes on my nerves is Vampire Count layer, who is a bad tactician, but he has such an annoying army! He is almost always playing with Carin wraiths and etereal lord in that unit. He sometimes puts some other etereal vampires in that unit, and he protects etereals with units of skeletons and Black knights. He will probably put a corpse cart and another vampire to act as riviver of the fallen skeletons.

The last player is Warriors of Chaos. He has a pretty ,,Hard-hitting'' army, with Chaos lord on dragon, 2 units od chaos warriors with great weapon, unit of chosen with great weapon and chaos knights.

You can see that I'll be playing against most powerful armies (exept Demons, thank God). So, I wanna see what are you sugesting.:soldier:

I would probably suggest you bring your own dragon. I would construct a speed list to face what you have here. One or two units of wild riders, some waywatchers, an eagle, a scroll caddy, a standard alter, and of course some archers. Fill with dryads for the ethereal things, and some wardancers if you have the space.

Good luck,

Here is my idea of the list :soldier:

Highborn - 563 pts
Dragon, light armour,
enchanted shield, sword of might, amaranthine broche, hail of doom arrow

Spellsinger - 175 pts
2 dispell scrolls, lvl 2 wizard

Noble - 147 pts
alter kindred, shield
brearsheat, dragon tooth arrows, rageth's wildfire blades

Core -
10 Glade guard - 120 pts
10 Glade guard - 120 pts
10 dryads, with nymph - 132 pts

Special -
5 Wild riders, full command, war banner - 191
5 Wild riders, musician - 130
10 wardancers, musician - 187

Rare -
8 Waywatchers - 192
Treeman - 285

Total = 2242

Two units of glade guard, and highborn with hail of doom arrow, and waywatchers will be used to infict heavy damage to enemy units until we get in close combat. I think it will be better to take Treeman as rare choice than warhawk, because I think my opponets will use everything to protect themselves from nonmagical attacks. Also, he will be able to take enemy cavalry or ethereals. I'll use two cavalry units of Wild riders as flankers, since my close combat tactics will be based on what Wardancers can do. Dryads will chase ethereal units with treeman, and protect the glade guard.

Any other suggestions?

This is fine although I prefer dawn spear, brooch, helm of the hunt, LA, shield for CC or bow of loren, arcane bodkin, brooch, shield, LA for shooty lord.
Spellsinger - 175 pts
2 dispell scrolls, lvl 2 wizard
Fine.
Noble - 147 pts
alter kindred, shield
brearsheat, dragon tooth arrows, rageth's wildfire blades
standard alter or alter with GW, shield, LA, annoyance, and murder work best in my experience.
Core -
10 Glade guard - 120 pts
10 Glade guard - 120 pts
fine if you got spare points could use musician.
10 dryads, with nymph - 132 pts
only need 8 in the unit and with no branchwraith no nymph is needed.
Special -
5 Wild riders, full command, war banner - 191
camp is a waste unless you gonna join a character here.
5 Wild riders, musician - 130
wild riders work best in groups of six in my experience.
10 wardancers, musician - 187
again only really need 8 in a unit.
Rare -
8 Waywatchers - 192
Treeman - 285
both these are fine.

OK, we had an interesting tournament. We all brought up surprisingly different army lists than those we used to play. There were only 6 players, but it was fun.

I played against dark elves two times and once against vampire counts. I have to say that Wild riders and Wardancers are very powerful, and they helped me to score massacre two times (once against close combat dark elven list, and once against vampire counts with blood knights and carin wraiths). Heres the list I used>

Highborn - 244
great eagle, spear, light armour, shield
bow of loren (35 pts), arcane bodkins (25 pts), stone of crystal mare (30 pts)

Spellsinger - 140
dispell scroll x2

Noble - 133
alter kindred, light armour, great weapon, shield
hail of doom arrow (30 pts), helm of the hunt (20 pts)

Noble - 140
wardancer kindred
moonstone of the hidden ways (35 pts)

11 Glade guards, champion, musician - 144
8 Dryads - 96
8 Dryads - 96
5 Glade Riders, musician - 129

8 Wardancers, musician - 151
6 Wild riders, full command, war banner - 217
4 Warhawk riders - 160
5 Wild riders, musician - 130

Treeman - 285
7 Waywatchers, shadow sentinel - 176

TOTAL: 2241



Thanks for your help. I couldn't done anything without you!:dance:

Your new list looks really good to me, but the only slight critisism is that you might have one too many leaders. I might consider dropping one and replace it with some more glade guard, as they are always useful. I always take at least two units onto the field even in 1000 points. Apart from that it looks really good.

EDIT: also if your playing in tourneys, i might consider taking another scroll caddy.
