Fellow Gladers,
It's been a lot of time since my daisy sniffers hit the table as I was busy refining my way with the Blood Angels in 40k. Alas with the beginning of spring I could not resist the call of the glades anymore so I picked up my quiver and bow and headed straight to hidden paths.
I'll be playing an Orc army this week-end and I'm quite rusty with army specific rules. Nevertheless this is the list I came up with all comments and criticism is much appreciated!

I still have 23 points to spend and I think it might be a good idea to get a BSB by swapping something as it might boost the effectiveness of the Treekin and Treeman against the Orcs
My battle plan is to draw out the fanatics early game with the GRiders and GE and march block with them if they somehow survive
while I try to punch through a flank with both WRiders and the Alter. My guards, Treekin and Treeman will be holding the center and making a lot of noise so that my flankers don't draw too much attention. If everything goes according to plan after I breakthrough the flank I'll roll over to the center in order to join my main line. Pretty classic tactic obviously, but it's classic for a reason
Thanks in advance for your time!
I sticked to the original list and hit the orcs so hard that my opponent didn't even have time to declare Waagghh! All the units worked fairly well, albeit the Treekin and Wardancers were more or less passive as they didn't see any serious combat. I think I might be using them too shily, maybe a more aggressive stance would be in order. My kill one flank and make a sweep to the center was a little hindred as my opponent cunnigly refused flank and put all his weight on the flank I was thinkig of breaking. A litlle redirection with the eagle and the mayhem the fanatics caused when I drew them out early on helped, but the real game breaker was me casting a succesful beast cowers on the boar chariot which was threatening a counter charge to my Wild Riders. Once the Boar Chariot was out of the game for a turn I drove in my spear (Wridersx2 + Alter) and the flank was more or less doomed after that
