Greetings!
When in close combat with the hydra with a unit of treekin, do I get to stomp the handlers?
The Dark elf AB states: "all enemies that can choose to attack them (the beastmasters) or the Hydra must allocate the attacks against the Hydra."
Stomp attacks only works vs infantry so I can't choose anything at all and they will be in base contact!
Please say yes!

Re: Stomp vs War hydra beastmasters
You might have been able to try it if Stomp existed in the last edition, but it won't work now. Much like War Machine crews, handlers aren't really a unit anymore - they're treated like counters.
From Monsters and Handlers, BRB page 73:
"The handlers aren't really a combat unit per se, so we ignore them for most gaming purposes, treating the monster itself as the extent of the unit."
"In addition the handlers cannot be charged, attacked or otherwise affected separately from their monster."

And the old rule from DE AB was completely replaced by DE FAQ, by the way...
