2400 WE friendly list, need help

Drop horn of the asrai and pick up the pageant of shrikes. If you are going to snipe, might as well go all the way. I prefer life over beasts for the most part. The rest looks pretty good, though the one big block of archers is an eggs in one basket list. Hope it works for you.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of having all those potential deployment drops tied up in one unit instead, even with a global 5+ Ward save. I'd siphon off half of those Archers and make 2 units of 10 you can then use as dummy drops and as more mobile (and expendable troops). That said, the non-BSB Noble has to go, which will give you room for 10 more Glade Guard.

Very nice explanation for a big unit of archers there ikbuh. But he has 5 units of 10 with musicians. Not a big unit of 50. Oops, very nice run through of the large block option though.

SirKently

I realize that now. =P

5x10 glade guard 630
musician

I saw that and my mind put it together as one unit that was 5x10, not five units of 10. Thank you for the compliment, though. =)

Now then, on to the new list:

ive looked to the reply's and made another list. my opponent and i decided to make it a 2000 points battle


Lore of life wizard lvl 4 350
rymers harp
dispel scroll

noble 125
Horn of the Asrai
the hunters talon
As others have said, this will do better as a unit of Glade guard to fill in your deployment/act as fodder.

noble BSB 140
silver armour
luckstone
I prefer a Dragonbane Gem just in case you get attacked by the oh so common Banner of Flames

40 glade guard 504
full command

6 treekin 390

6 treekin 390

2x great eagle 100

1999

the hunters talon noble was to fill in points, so it probably will be replaced, though maybe i can snipe his BSB and Wizard with it
and i dont kwow what a better lore is in this list. life fore the lifebloom and regrowth, or beast for wildform and curse

let me know

For this list, it's a tough call. Life keeps your unit alive and beasts makes it dangerous. In all honesty, you could do well with either, but at 2000 points, I would go with life. In this case, your archers are going to act as an anvil, which means you optimally want a buffed stoneform on them when they get charged. Shield of Thorns isn't a bad option here either if you don't get the big 4. Life also has the advantage of keeping your treekin alive as well. If you go with beasts, Wildform/Curse are must haves. Curse makes your opponent think twice about doing anything but a normal move because dangerous terrain tests on a 1-2 are not fun, but be sure not to cast it on anything with the Strider rule because I believe they won't have to make the tests.

My opinion is go with Life.

Just remember that the block of Glade guard at less than 2500 points isn't as optimal and you'll probably be better off with smaller units, but it is a fun thing to try every once in a while.
