Hey! thanks for sharing the list!
So I've also gone the Forest spirit route and have played a few games. Allow me to provide some general and specific feedback for consideration.

Forest Spirit armies are fun, though if you play the same opponent a few times, they start bringing Fire Wizard, or Banner of Etenral flame, etc, to flame your flamables. The core is poor because as much as I LOVE how a big horde of painted Dryads look, they are just not very good. lol.

Now, on to the specific feedback:
Heroes:
Consider brnging Drycha, too. Her lvl 2 of shadoes offers something new + her special abilities can make for a fun game.

Core:
Dryads.. My love and hate feeling for the Dryads is real. A big horde doesn't really work due to combat resolution. People use them as flankers, but then 23 might be too many for a flanker unit?
Treekin: Love these guys. I also have 6, though if I'd also consider going 8, 9, or even 12. (!!!)

Fun army to play. Consider also bringing Eagles for re-direction purposes.

Ahhaaa I see what you did there

I won’t go into puns don’t want to SAP the life out of you.

Love all tree lists they look so good. A friend used to run one can’t remember exactly but something along the lines 1500Pts

Drycha
Branchwraith
3/4 blocks 10 dryads
2 block of 6 Treekin
Tree man

Looks good but as said consider Drycha if you can
