Hi!
Since beasts are going with their old list till february, I'll try with a Noble with HoDA (maybe a shield and LA too, but I dont find wise to throw him in CC aginst beasts at this level...in such case, give him a GW)
And for the units, 2x8 dryads and all the GG you can aford S4 shots will be useful!! And beware with charriots!!! You better dance around them till they got stuck somewhere away from your army, while finishing things off with dryads and intense shooting
Hope it helps!

Re: 650pts list?
Hehehe, not the best one to ask about scouts....I just love them and field them in every list I've done till date
But yeah! Why not? A unit of 5-6 scouts can avoid charriots and bestigor from marching, which means more shooting phases... They can even kill something

Re: 650pts list?
lol, i just saw a possibillity of using them with a magic banner, enemy models within 12" cannot march
but im not sure how effective could that be in these low point games, thoug, this is a campign, and every game we get extrapoints for our army, so next game will be 800pts, next 950 etc. so it might make sense

Re: 650pts list?
Wood Elf models are expensive in points and numbers of models and units counts for a lot in small battles. Luckily, our core units are among the best.
I'd want a Noble with HoDA, la, shield, spear, and steed 123?
3 x 8 Dryads = 288
2 x 10 GG = 240
That's one point over, so the la or shield must go.

Re: 650pts list?
I wouldn't spent much points on magic items or banners this soon (although HoDA is a must ) Just wait until you have more points to spend, when you can test all the funny toys WE can use

Re: 650pts list?
our GM just told us we get to have 1 special choise troop in there, so should i leave it this way, or add something special?

Re: 650pts list?
You could throw in a minimal 5 men WD troupe instead of one dryad unit, if only for fun and to keep your noble's shield. Otherwise 2 GG and 3 dryad units is probably the best value for your points right now. They'll eat the beasts...
Re: 650pts list?
ok, thanks, ill put it that way.. so its 2xGG+3x8 dryad...
