If I recall correctly the comp, you have just to avoid sister bunkers and too many waywatchers to comp decently.
Double L4 also should be heavily comped.

Well I'm not taking any sisters and going all foot except 2x5 GR and 2x6 WR. But a dual level 4 in a foot list is pretty important. I left out WW also but my comp still rings in between 9 and 10 and I'm not happy about it.

It would help if you post your list.

Double level 4 kills you in Swedish. Try a treeman ancient to save some points (Treeman is a bargain). Or Lv 2.

Moonstone is very expensive.

You can optimise your glade guard by going with bigger units. e.g. instead of 2x 13 Glade guard (26 shots) is 16 points (with true flight). 1x18 is only 10 points (with true flight).

Glade lord on a Dragon is okay for the Swedish cost as well. As are eternal guard. 1 unit of warhawks is pretty cheap. Wardancers as well.

Equipping command groups isn't a bad idea. Banners and champs on the wild riders etc. Basically anything that can add actual points to the list without costing Swedish or low swedish is good for shaving Swedish score (Orion is a lot of points and 30 Swedish isn't bad for the price).

I'd suggest looking at lesser used units which have a lower comp score but work well within your list. Looking at the idea behind it some Wardancers could be useful. You can put down a lot of poisoned woods and they are capable fighters in them but importantly they're stubborn too. You can save some points by dropping your scouts too as they will increase your score a lot because of the moonstone.

the eternal guard are a bit too small for my liking and they seem surplus to requirements in core since you're nearly at 600 without them (though they are very cheap in comp score)

I'd suggest looking at warhawk riders, they're pretty cheap in comp and are a great unit, especially considering you're running two small wildrider units instead of more/bigger units (due to comp obvs) maybe drop an eagle too since the second is a larger comp hit.

Finally regarding characters i like 2xlvl4 i run it often in non swedish and even in some swedish tourneys too. What's the Acorn guys lore? also is the acorn that vital? i generally think it's a waste of points in competitive play.

I can fit 3 ancients and a lvl 4 on a unicorn and have points left for WR, WW and tons of poison/hagbane. Works to be a very very soft comp.
