I just got my first 1k point game in. This was mostly based on what I happen to have purchased and built. It seemed like a well rounded enough list, and honestly I just wanted to try some new units out. My list was:
TLA - Gnarled Warrior, Oaken Shield, Regrowth
Branchwraith - The Dwellers Below
Branchwych - Verdant Blessing
20 Dryads
5 Tree Revenants
3 Kurnoth Hunters (Greatbows)
I made so pretty big strategic mistakes, and had to backpedal my plans a few times. But beyond that, I had a few questions for more experienced players.
1. How do you manage to get a forward Wyldwood in place? I couldn't get one anywhere close to the objective on my opponent's side of the board (we were playing Knife to the Heart). While he did a good job of denying placement, but beyond that I had a hard time just getting close enough.
2. In general, how do you push forward? I can turtle very well, but I didn't see a good way to push forward. I could slowly creep my Dryad blob. Maybe i just need more damage units.
3. Are Tree Revenants worth taking if I can only bring 5? They seem too much of a gamble with only 5. Either that or I am not using them properly.
4. How do I effectively use Hunters (bows or otherwise)? I was not able to figure out good placement for my Hunters. I tried to flank and line up shot of the tide on troops coming down the middle. I think a better spot would have been on the objective on my side of the board. But I might have gummed up the sight line with my Wyldwoods. (I will probably try melee Hunters next time).
5. Any other noob tips?
