It's time to purge some Skaven from Athel Loren in a 1500pt battle! The game will be played on a smaller table, likely 4.5x4 or so, hence the lower point value and is taking place Sunday.
Also to note, my Wood Elves model collection is somewhat limited in Glade Guard. I only have 15 "archer" models that can be Glade Guard, Scouts or Waywatchers and no also have no Wild Riders.
I have 2 lists to share, your feedback on which one you prefer is welcomed!
List 1
Spellsinger lvl 2 - Dispel Scroll, Seed of Rebirth, lore of beasts (maybe even fire for magic missiles?)
Glade Captain - Glittering Scales, BSB, Trueflight, two-hand weapon.
20X Eternal Guard, FC. (Captain & Spellsinger here, in a forest somewhere).
5x Glade Riders, Hagbane, Standard
5x Deepwood Scouts, Hagbane
5x Sisters of the Thorn
6x Treekin, Elder
1x Treeman
5x Waywatchers
IDEA BEHIND LIST:
Well, as mentioned, I am limited when it comes to "Archer" models, so here I'm bringing as much shooting almost as I can to give me options. Goal here would be to plant my treeman,Treekin & EG far into the woods on my end and soften him as much as possible with magic and shooting before engaging with the trees first and EG as last resort.
LIST 2
Branchwraith
Glade Captain BSB, Glittering Scales, Trueflight, 2 hand weapons.
Spellsinger, lore of beasts, lvl 2, ruby ring, longbow
31x Dryads (Branchwraith here)
10x Glade Guard (BSB, Spellsinger here)
5x Sisters of the Thorn
6x Treekin
1x Treeman
IDEA BEHIND LIST:
Well, Dryads aren't great in horde. But if there's any sort of unit that they'd actually not do terrible against, it's a s3, t3 , bad armor save unit which Skaven have a lot of. Plus, they just look GOOD in horde formation,
The rest is somewhat similar to the above list, except less shooting, which if he brings a lot of doom wheels, or maybe an Abom, or even shooting of his own, will leave me in a tough spot having to march to him. I think 6 Treekin + Treeman are a strng anvil to face at 1500pts.
AVAILABLE MODELS NOT MENTIONED on EITHER LIST:
Second Treeman (2 treemen in 1500pt? I'm not that mean).
Waystalker/Glade Captain Hero
Drycha
Naestra & Arahan on Dragon (also not happening in a 1500pt game)
