Life or Dark Woods? 2000 points

[Syphilis]

This may be a little bit much but I have 3 lists I was playing ideas with and to do some friendly matches during the holidays. Theme-wise this is what my army is shaping up to look like : http://asrai.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26982

It will wither centre around a treeman ancient or a dark weaver. I have used both and enjoyed it. Dark is so devastating when its on your side.

So some ideas of how to improve and what you think of the lists. I'm trying to keep it tree themed.

LIST 1- LIFE
Lvl 3 Treeman Ancient
Branchwraith

6 Treekin
5 Wild Riders - Shields

Any ideas? Which one is your favourite?

Looks fun, all three of them.

I'ld say (without trying to force you away from your theme) to squeeze a D-scroll in your Branchwraith list.

Swap 1 wraith for a normal caster with the scroll and I think you'll be better protected.

Good lumbering!

Oh that might change everything! Yes I think a Dispel scroll would work wonders. Whats a good lvl 1 spellsinger to support a tree heavy list? Shadow? Beast?

[nXken]

Main weakness of trees is initiative. Find the spell that boosts it and ur quite safe. If not possibru... Heal up ye matey yohoo

I'd say Beasts, Wildform is huge for the tree spirits.

I'd try to squeeze a few Waywatchers in.

So just putting together a 4th list with your inputs:

Treeman Ancient Lvl 3 Life, General

I decided to forego the Branchwraiths, I have actually never used them before and they seem to be the "Jack of all trades master of none" type hero. It was all to do with theme and I heard you can used them as redirectors. Instead:

Lvl 2 Beast Singer, Dispel Scroll (Although now that there is a little more shooting is heavens or shadows worth considering?)

Glade Cpatian, BSB, Dragonhelm, Hail of Doom. With Spear and Shields to go into Wild Rider unit

I haven't used HoDA in this edition of woodelves...is it worth taking? I have other things that would want points such as shields for my wild riders or another Waywatcher.

15 Dryads. The beast singer will go in here.

10 Glade Guard Trueflight, Banner, Muso
10 Glade Guard Hagbane, Banner, Muso (I am tempted to make these guys Trueflight as well for that movement flavour)

6 Treekin

5 Wild Riders
5 Wild Riders

Treeman

6 Waywatchers (Is 6 enough?)

I guess overall, its going away from my theme but not by much. It still uses all my models I have and don't need to convert Branchwraiths. Is my Dark Weaver list looking more favourable?

[Syphilis]

Or is the singer better as light to get that initiative spell?

[Syphilis]

I was playing around with the Darkweaver list a bit more and was trying to put a moonstone in...Is the moonstone going to make a difference or is it jsut a gimicky magic item?

Lvl 4 Darkweaver - Dispel Scroll, Talisman of Endurance (Will go in Sisters unit)
Glade Captain - Steed, Helm of Hunt, Spear, Shield, BSB, Hail of Doom Arrows (Will go in a wild rider unit)
15 Dryads
10 Trueflight Guards - Musician, Standard
10 Trueflight Guards - Musician, Standard
6 Treekin
6 Sisters of Thorn
6 Wild Riders - Shields
6 Deepwood Scouts (to fill in points. Is there a better place to spend points)?
Treeman
Eagle
Eagle

Does this list work? Any ideas to improve it...maybe a different lore?

[Aezeal]

My opinion is gimick.. but opinions vary.

IF you use it you need to get a somewhat bigger unit you can use it with though I'd say.. like 20 scouts or waywatchers, or more sisters or wildriders.
6 treekin could make a nasty surprise when coming up behind your army.. but considering conflicting unit types you might not place your character there.
