1000 pt Tournament List + 1500/2000 Shooting List

[Zhorphorus]

Hi, I'm recently new back to fantasy and chose to pick up Wood Elves. I only have a 1000 pt army so far, which is listed down below, and am hoping to expand to a 2000 pt list but unsure what's good/useful really. I am trying to aim for a 2000 pt list and a 1500 pt list which are both shooting orientated lists and clean up my 1000 pt list for a tournament happening soon. Feedback and criticism are much appreciated.

Please find below my 2000 pt and 1500 pt lists I've made so far and the current 1000 pt list.

Not too sure on Lores for the wizards but otherwise all in all I would really appreciate some feedback and criticism on all three lists as the 1000 point one I will be using in my local store's tournament coming up soon .

Thanks in advance

Re the 2000pt list, I suggest Moonstone and MR2 for the mage. The former to get her out of trouble, the latter to protect the characters from Death snipes and their unit from MM's. 25pts to upgrade the hero to a BSB is a steal. I would put Musicians on the Trueflight for Swift Reforms. In contrast the Wild Riders don't need Swift Reforms and will rarely need to rally, so don't need musicians IMHO. Champs and standards are also a bit optional, maybe Eternal Flame on one unit?

[Zhorphorus]

Thanks for the info is the BSB necessary would you say? and also is flaming attacks used frequently?

Also any ideas on the 1000 pt list for an upcoming tournament or does it seem pretty sound? Using the advice given I've given both GG sqauds musicians and taken away the champion from the WW and the musician from the WR so it still comes to 1000 exactly

You're welcome Zhorphorus.

Re-rolling all failed Leadership tests within 12" is necessary according to most players, it's that good. It turns a 1-in-6 chance of your General's unit failing a Panic test to a 1 in 36 chance. Flaming attacks are mainly useful against Regeneration, which is only seen in certain armies. But when you do run into it, negating it is golden.

Hail of Doom is still a good idea at 1000pts and I'd favour a blasty Lore like Fire in small games. The noble is a bit optional at 1000pts but if you're going to take him, BSB upgrade is a good idea. You'd probably be better off switching some Core archers out for Scouts. They're only a point more but are more than a point better because of the flexibility.
