I am giong to a tournament in a few weeks. They are using army composition, so I constructed a list gets 10 points for compostion. You get loads of points for using a forest spirit only list. You also get loads and loads of points if you are using a single treeman, so I was thinking about trading the vanilla one for 4 more treekin. I would like your comments, please!

This army gets 10 points for army composition. If I trade the treeman for 4 treekin I get 20 points in the tourney! That is like having played a 20-0 game before you have even played your first game. I would also be going up against another army that has 20 points for composition in the first game. What do you think?

Definitely drop the second treeman for those points IMO. You're certainly not short on heavy hitters.
Seems a little odd you get extra points for an all forest spirit army, given how much people normally hate facing those. I've never played one, so can't give much advice.

Given that most of the scene will be daemons, at least, that is how it is around here, I do not think that forest spirits are getting the hate any more.

Plus against Daemons you won't get your ward save... and your opponent will. Annoying!

The all-forest spirit army is pretty one-dimensional but it is effective. I've never played it since I don't have the money to buy that many new minis but I can't imagine it is all that fun to play. I prefer the more balanced list with some shooting and some scouting but you'll have to keep us informed on how you fare at the tourney!

Good luck.
