Does a snowflake make a sound if only Dryads hear it fall?

Hello all! I am Kenti an Elfoholic. Well, that's not actually true, I really don't like the way that elves are treated or handled in... oh... 70% of circumstances? Basically, you get really bland elves with pointy ears, aloof manner and... possibly some tree-loving. That's boring, elves can be exciting, if you just give them the chance.
Games Workshop haven't done too badly with the Warhammer Elves. Granted, you have them in a sort of classical division of Dark, High and Wood, but there's a bit of character to them and the Wood elves aren't particularly nice. Sure, they're on the side of the good guys, but... they're not really about Order like the Empire or High Elves or Brettonia. Frankly, their demeanour is a bit haphazard, a bit chaotic, a bit... 'natural'. In the tooth and claw sense of nature, not the fluffy unicorn one.
So the Wood Elves are pretty okay. They've got their nature forest thing going on, but it's a darker, edgier version, and frankly they're not altogether very nice people. The Brettonians are on the whole a bit scared of them and rightly so. Anyway, I am going with the Wood Elves rather than my main alternative because of all this*.
But I'm not going to play them too straight. Well, I am in that it's going to be a shooty army. A very shooty army. But I like solid, interesting, exciting backgrounds, so I am going with the Winter Hunt (actual name TBC). The forest is sleeping, the elves are in quiet repose, but someone's got to do the nasty job of defending Athel Loren during the dark winter months. So, a Waywatcher Noble is appointed to sit about in the snow and watch for invaders of the forest while everyone else sits in nice warm groves and feasts all winter. Because, frankly, they all think the Waywatchers are smelly losers.
The army will have a lot of emphasis on ranged engagement and skirmishing to emphasise their first-contact nature and visually I'll be taking cue from winter colours, going for the icy blues and frozen browns (similar to what the Wood Elf Army Book has in the variant colour schemes). Dryads will be topped with snowballs and the Wardancers will be feeling very silly for having gone out in practically no clothes.
I will be drawing on the themes of the winter forest in putting together the army and so going for anything that will help me bring that out. Appropriate magic items, conversions, painting and so on. I will also probably be writing a lot about the background of my army and possibly a few bits of fiction to help set the mood and flesh out some of the characters who will be in it.
Cheers,
Kenti


*My alternative was the Empire. But, as the Empire are largely boring in their standard permutations, I was going for something in the vein of a rag-tag band of misfits. An army that had been cobbled together and held by string and one man's ambition. The problem is that the concept, though interesting to me, wouldn't have given me too much of a chance to make everyone uniform (that going against the concept) and at the end of the day the Empire is still a touch bland. Not the Empire's fault, the real nitty-gritty appeal hides in its dark corners explored by Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play, and that is where I shall continue to enjoy it. Just not on the green felt thanks.
