This weekend is the West Coast GT 2015! A two-day battle of 70+ Warhammer Fantasy players. This year, all five games have updated scenarios. Let’s take a look at what I will be dealing with.

West Coast GT 2015: Army List
The West Coast GT is next weekend, and it is using Swedish comp as the comp bracketing system. You can bring any list you want as long as it comps higher than a 6. The kicker, though, is that for your overall comp score they double the score you bring to a maximum of 30. Thus, if you bring a 6 your score towards overall will be a 12 (missing out on 18 points that you will have to make up elsewhere) while if you bring a 15 your score will be a 30 (and you will have to work hard to not give up as many battle points). However, in comparison to true Swedish, the difference between your Swedish scores does not result in bonus victory points in the game. (Why Bill? Why?)
Seeing this system, I decided to go with a list that was higher in comp, but that could also conserve points and get minor wins so that I can eek out small wins but still place decent in the tournament. My list ended up with a solid 14.2 comp, and after playing with it and working it out, I feel that it is a better list than my Master's list. Now I wish I had gone with something more like this, as I think I would have done better over the course of the Masters tournament. This is what I am bringing:
Lords:
Spellweaver [335 pts] (-37 comp) (Level 4, High Magic, Talisman of Preservation, Hex Scroll, Elven Steed)
Glade Lord [267 pts] (-8 comp) (General, Shield, Starfire Shafts, Ogre Blade, Armor of Destiny, Dragonbane Gem, Elven Steed)
Heroes:
Glade Captain [166 pts] (-17 comp) (Battle Standard Bearer, Asrai Spear, Starfire Shafts, Charmed Shield, Opal Amulet, Hail of Doom Arrow, Elven Steed)
Glade Captain [141 pts] (-4 comp) (Starfire Shafts, Sword of Anti-Heroes, Helm of the Hunt, Elven Steed)
Spellsinger [105 pts] (-8 comp) (Level 1, Lore of Metal, Scroll of Shielding, Elven Steed)
Core:
Dryads [198 pts] (-3 comp) (18 models)
Glade Guard [215 pts] (-8 comp) (13 models, musician, standard bearer, Trueflight Arrows)
Glade Guard [215 pts] (-8 comp) (13 models, musician, standard bearer, Hagbane Tips)
Special:
Sisters of the Thorn [253 pts] (-25 comp) (8 models, full command, Lichebone Pennant)
Wild Riders [178 pts] (-9 comp) (6 models, standard bearer, shield)
Wild Riders [178 pts] (-12 comp) (6 models, standard bearer, shield)
Deepwood Scouts [102 pts] (-3 comp) (6 models, Starfire Shafts)
Rare:
Waywatchers [140 pts] (-11 comp) (7 models)
Arrow penalty: (glade lord 1, HoDa 5, glade captain 1, trueflight 13, hagbane 14, scouts 6, waywatchers 14) = 54 no penalty
Fast Cavalry: (glade lord 1, spellweaver 1, bsb 1, captain 1, spell singer 1, sisters 8, wild riders 6, wild riders 6) = 25 (-5 comp penalty) (running comp score: 142)
Total points: 2493
Total Comp: 14.2
Now its time to bring some pain to the West Coast GT!
