The wood elves are the inhabitants of the forest athel loren the forest was one of the biggest forest in the old world before the dwarfs invaded the high elves that lived were Bretonia was sooner to come. Most of the elves fled to Uthulan but some of the elves decided to go into the forest and stay there and protect the rest of the forest.  That's how the elves got in the forests and there is allot of other stories which ill add later.
 

You should always use your excellent archers to soften up your enemy before you charge them. As an example you have 5 Wardancers and your enemy has cornered you with 30 goblins, dont just charge them without doing some thing else first, charge them in the flank shoot at them use the woven mist/shadows coil to keep them up until someone can help them up
 

The General is good riding a monster ig. a dragon and these are the magic items i normally give him: Bow of Loren, Armor of Protection, and Potion of Strength. that gives him a good armor save and the ability to shoot 7 S4 arrows per turn and 7 S7! combined with potion of strength.

The wood elves has an excellent shooting range (and the rule for armor piercing , -1 save hit modifier) so you should use it to itsmaximum capacity. I personally don't use that many archers but rather go for way watchers and scouts. the Bs of 5 really makes a  the big difference and there great for assassination of alone standing mages just deploy behind the character and charge!! The traps aren't really that good but it makes the opponent think twice before he/she charges. but at a 16/18 points each model really makes toy think twice doesn't it.
