8th Ed. first time fighting woodelves

Hi everyone.

I am going to play an 2k game and my opponent is a experienced WE player.

This is the list I came up with:

Lord
------------------------------------
Slann (Shadow, light or fire which lore is best against these hosts of nature?)
- Cognition
- Rumination
- BSB
- Cupped Hands

Core
------------------------------------------

25 saurus warriors
- musican
- Standardbearer
- Handweapon/shield

25 saurus warriors
- musican
- Standardbearer
- Handweapon/shield

10 skink skirmishers
- Blowpipe

10 skink skirmishers
- Blowpipe

10 skink skirmishers
- Blowpipe

Specials
-------------------------------------------

3 Terradon riders

20 Templeguards
- Full Command

6 chameleon skinks

6 chameleon skinks

5 chameleon skinks

Rare
-----------------------------------------------

1 salamander
- Extra handler

1 salamander
- Extra handler

------------------------------------------

I've read some common tactics on these guys, and they are supposed to be fast, thats why I want some shooting, to pin them down. But how are dryads in CC?
Alternatively, I can exchange 5 chameleon skinks and the 3 packs of skinks skirmishers for an Ancient steg w. blowpipe.. Please comment

Thank you

Depends on who is playing them but most wood elf competitive lists are centered around forest spirits. I usually expect Treekin, Dryads and at least 1 Tree Man.

Treekin get a 5+ ward against non-magical attacks so I like to field a Scar Vet w/ Burning Blade of Chotec against them. Negates their ward save and with forest spirits being flammable it does double the wounds per hit.

I would drop your terradons for sure as they will probably be ineffective against most things in his army list, there is no real artillery other than the Treeman.
