Workbench Update: Wood Elves

Good morning gamers,

With THRO 2017 around the bend (and as the planner of that tournament), I was faced with a glaring question: What army do I take? Do I run those Dwarves I love so much? How about Uruk-Hai?

In this post, we'll be talking about a few different lists I've been considering and why to take them (particularly with a 150-point limit in mind).

Without further ado, here are (in my typical style) the Ten Commandments of the Tournament (Rules):
