I like it! Feel it's good as is, but let me provide some feedback for consideration:
Treeman Ancient - I'm a fan, of course. and I know you said all-comers, but how likely is it to run into Dwarfs/Empire/Ogres? You're 1 lucky shot away from losing your general and only serious magic caster.
an alternative could be a Spellweaver in the EG parked unit in a forest. Safer, gets +1 for casting.
I don't have much to say about the rest, but would caution having the BSB on a stag and making sure he's close enough for re-rolls. Having MSU like this means 2 deaths and panic and they have no save to speak of, so it's not that hard.

But I feel the bus very fast becomes very expensive and one nuke spell from game over. As it needs the stags bsb preservation. So the stag goes away. So then bsb goes with the spears too and with gw. Might open up for more shots though or one more unit of wild riders. Not sure, hard choices. |

So try it out and see how it goes! I like the list overall - just fear a cannon or lucky catapult shot. Maybe mititgate it by putting a lvl 2 instead of the dancer in the spear unit? |

Thinking of removing the strangle root to add more banners on wild riders. Only 4 points is kind of too low in blod and glory scenario. I would also want to add a third unit of 5 wild riders. Maybe remove the treeman and add more shots with the rest points.

Great Stags can still be cannon-ned, right? Since they are a different troop type?

Great Stags can still be cannon-ned, right? Since they are a different troop type? Not sure what you mean with can be canned as any model can be hit by a cannon but a lot of them are still played. But yes that is one reason they both pack a 4++ save. And I don’t run them without a ward. If you talk about “lookout sir’ they are monstrous cav. But with this list I have 4 potential targets for a cannon and they can’t hit em all so I am not that worried. But WMs are always a priority for woodies to deal with and that’s a reason I run poison arrows. And scouts can double up if if a hole in the defense opens up. |
