Many thanks, my friends.

The situation here at work has been a bit...volatile...recently, but once it calms down, I would like nothing better than to continue to contribute to this site.

Calaingor's Stave is going to be a total waste. Since this is an anti-VC list, then take RoL instead and stick her in a unit of Glade Guard. I'd highly advise you to get some Wardancers, their ability to KB Blood Knights and Black Knights is great, as well as their ability to generate massive amount...

Drop the Magic Level and a squad of Dryads to pick up a squad of 10 Glade Guard.

Highborne -Eagle -Sword of Might -Shield -Light Armor -Helm of the Hunt -Stone of the Crystal Mere -HoDA --I have to agree with Beithir on this one. It's a good setup, but functionally no different than a regular EagleAlter for almost double the cost. Noble -BSB -Oaken Armor --Not bad, although I'm...

List #1 5 Waywatchers , Shadow Sentinel (General) 128 pts. --Great choice. 6 Glade Guards 72 pts. --Better off split into 2x3 since unit's can't divide fire any more. 3 Glade Riders 72 pts. --Decent. 3 Dryads 36 pts. --Good. 5 Wardancers 90 pts. --Good. Tortal: 398 pts. List #2 5 Wild Riders , CG (...

I would downgrade the Stag to an Elven Steed, drop the two EG musicians and add an Eagle!

Your Alter Noble could use a shield too.

Combat Resolution kills Orion more than anything except BloodThirsters and magical runed dwarf cannons. Taking Orion's Wargoats allows more enemy models to be "in combat" and potentially strike you back, as well as providing softer targets than Orion himself to generate wounds. That's why ...

Glade Guard are essential to an Orion list (despite the fact that yes, they do take up a special slot) because removing static combat res is paramount. I don't recall off the top of my head about the Hounds taking wounds from shooting, because I don't ever field the sheep of doom. I can check later ...

Yep, I've been running an Orion list periodically for the last year and been having great fun and success with it. Orion is more versatile than usually given credit for, between his bow and his combat prowess, he can do what is needed of him and with is speed, you can put him where he needs to be. U...

The spellweaver list is similar to my 2k list which I have used for 2 years now to great success. It gets my vote.

I like this list a lot, but don't get too set on it until you get your comp rules. That will usually have a drastic effect on your list especially with the TMA /AoN present.

Does this list follow the Tree-shape theory? or the Magic Number Theory?

Also you have brought up something important too, the glamourweave cannot enter the glade riders unit BUT he can enter a unit of dryads to keep him/her safe from other forces and such. :nod: Close, the Glamourweave Spellsinger cannot join the Glade riders but it cannot join the Dryads either becaus...

It looks pretty vanilla. I tend to be leery of the Glamourweave Spellsingers because they can go in the Wild Riders or the Treekin and combat is generally a bad place to be when you're a mage.

181 Noble - Great Eagle, Spear, Light Armor, Shield, Hail of Doom Arrow, Helm of the Hunt --Great. 140 Spellsinger - 2 Dispel Scrolls --Decent, although I prefer a dispel branchy at this level. 152 Spellsinger - Elven Steed, Dispel Scroll, Calaingor's Stave --Good, if you want to get use out the St...

Since neither of the Branchwraiths have equipment, then there really isn't a need to have two of them. I would drop one and add a 4th Treekin to add a bit more oomph to one unit. Alternatively, you could drop the extra Branchwraith and take a few spites and an extra Dryad for one of your units since...

Just avoid the black coach entirely. Bait it around a bit, possibly sacrifice a unit of Glade Riders to get it off the board for a turn. I don't recall if it's a chariot or not, but if it is, then you attempt to bait it into a forest. If you allow special characters, then Orion may come in handy as ...

With the proper point cost of the Branchwraith and only one CoR, (possibly dropping the Branchy altogether), it should be managable.

I think the list is about as good as it's going to get, but the Noble with just the HoDA still bothers me a bit.

The first list seems like it will do better for you, but I would swap the Treekin for another special choice, either Wardancers or Wild Riders.

Swapping an Eagle for WW will help a lot here. With the amount of mage hunting you have, you should be fine with your current magic defense.

Out of the two, I'd say the second one is preferable.

If you drop the two GG Musicians and one squad of Glade Guard you'll be able to afford another reasonably sized unit of Wardancers or Wild Riders which will help this list a lot. 4 units of Glade Guard are hard to deploy usefully, but their line of sight tends to be quite restricted by your units as...

Lord Highborn,dragon, light armor, sword of might, helm of the hunt, stone of crystal mere, an annoyance of netlings and a shield Pts: 566 --The Sword of Might here is superfluous a bit, he should be charging anything and breaking it on the charge, use a spear instead. Annoyance of Netlings is only...

TMA CoR AoN - 375 --A classic. Noble Alter GW, HotH, HoDA, --This may have been unintentionally left out, but this character should really have some Light Armor and a Shield to help against stray missiles. Spellsinger lv2 Elven steed, Divination orb, Starfire arrows - 187 --The Divination Orb will ...
