You are right about the allies I'd say unless they had different rules in the (Ironic: best sportsman with an illegal list (don't take this wrong Hadriel, you are probably a great guy to play against, got a nicely painted army and even if it was illegal on the tournament I don't doubt it wasn't intentional AND I'm not even sure the dragon made your list much stronger)).

I used warscroll builder and assumed it wouldn't let me put Sylvaneth allegiance if the list was illegal. That's a major blow. Good thing he died early in every game then. Except against Jimbo. But he didn't kill anything in that. I guess Drycha will be a good fit instead. Man thays really ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhw Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Sorry man, didn't mean to be the bearer of bad news. Just as well he whiffed! Drycha could be a good fit - would let you get anyother Branchwych/wraith in as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also wondering if besides the rules I'd want the dragon next game or he'd just take something else (drycha? Durthu?) I didn't think he worked very well in the list anyway. He needs buffing with command traits and artefacts. Which he couldn't get as an ally. He died game 1 to star soul Maces in turn 1. Game two to a mourngul. But he did tie it up for a while. But I still lost the game. Game three he bounced off Alarielle. So hopefully it didn't really affect my score particularly. Drycha would've been much stronger and for the same points in allies I might build a celestant prime. Will issue an apology on the podcast next week.

Lhw Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Prime sounds a great shout. Think you could fit him in to your theme well, too. He'd probably be equally pants as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd probably be equally pants as well! Yeah. It'd be for the short term anyway as I mostly want dryads more kurnoth hunters and otherwise am building a full Order Draconis list. I might just use Orion as a Prime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhw Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Orion could be quite cool. Would need a bit of conversion to reflect Prime's rules, possibly? The way he plumets down and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 If you want to keep using the Dragon then you can take Winterleaf with the aforementioned Dryads. However, you'll lose out on the Hand of Glory. Winterleaf with an Empire Gryphon might be the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Dryads are a decent answer to Bloodletters. They don't like Gaunt Summoners, but I suspect Sylvaneth just have to take Tzeentch as a near autoloss unless the Battleplan if favourable now.

Drycha would've been much stronger and for the same points in allies I might build a celestant prime. I'm a fan of this Gnarlroot build with TLA, Drycha, and Loremaster. It's got: - some long-range utility via Venator + Hand of Glory + 3 Bows - Drycha for anti-horde + Hand of Glory option (when she's Enraged especially) - the seemingly obligatory 30 Dryads for GH17 play - two x5 TreeRevs for solid utility - TLA per usual (could switch Briarsheath for Moonstone, which is amazing w/ Hand of Glory + Household's Discipline of the Ages) - 3 Scythes for punch (Drycha or TLA w/ Hand of Glory provide additional punch) - Acorn + Verdant on different models in case of snipe - Throne of Vines for helping w/ Verdurous, Mystic Shield, and/or Unleash Spites - 2-drop, which I suspect would still out-drop the vast majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Here's the list I'll be trying out soon: Allegiance: Sylvaneth Leaders Alarielle the Everqueen (600) - General - Deepwood Spell : The Dwellers Below Drycha Hamadreth (280) - Deepwood Spell : Regrowth Branchwraith (80) - Artefact : Briarsheath - Deepwood Spell : Regrowth Branchwraith (80) - Artefact : Acorn of the Ages - Deepwood Spell : Verdant Blessing Units 5 x Spite-Revenants (80) 5 x Spite-Revenants (80) 5 x Spite-Revenants (80) 5 x Spite-Revenants (80) 30 x Dryads (270) 5 x Tree-Revenants (80) Battalions Dreadwood Wargrove (200) Outcasts (90) Total: 2000/ 2000 Points Leaders: 4/6 Battlelines: 6 (3+) Behemoths: 2/4 Artillery: 0/4 Dwellers gives a little anti horde punch if they deploy on the 12" line. I originally had 3 Bow Hunters as some long range punch, but realised I was chucking away 3 Artefacts. Allies were another possible, but cost you the single drop army. Drycha is too useful as with the free 9" move and another 9" move she can hit almost an entire enemy army with Flitterfuries turn 1 - really good vs 5 wound heroes. The Dryads will probably receive Mystic Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with the 6 scythe hunter/drycha/treelord variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to the one I'm running to learn how to play Sylvaneth. Interesting to see if the bow hunters are worth it over another unit of Scythes?

I think they're important w/ Hand of Glory Venator for having a good shot at sniping and thus being able to play back early while still getting something done.

Walkirriox Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Hi! I have a match tomorrow at 1500 points. Before the update I played Gnarlroot battalion list, but now with the point increase I'm not sure if it's worth it at 1,5k... What do you think about it? Any recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Yeah I'd probably skip the Wargrove battalions at 1,500pts. Household or Forest Folk seem like solid options at that point level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Just recently tried this list and it worked really well. Will be testing it again hopefully this week Treelord Ancient General Trait - Gnarled Warrior Artefact - Oaken Armour Deepwood Spell - Verdant Blessing Drycha Hamadreth Deepwood Spell - Regrowth Branchwych Artefact - Silver Circlet Deepwood Spell - Regrowth Dryads x 30 Battleline Tree Revenants x5 Battleline Tree Revenants x5 Battleline Kurnoth Hunters x6 Bows Kurnoth Hunters x3 Scythes Household Gnarlroot 2000pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surly Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hey everyone! I bought some Sylvaneth Boxes last year, had no time do use them so far and am currently in the middle of assembly. So far I have: Alarielle Getting Started Box (16 Dryads, 1 Treelord and 1 Branchwych) Darkroot Wargrove Box (Drycha, 1 Treelord, 6 Hunter and 10 Revenants) Dryad Box (16 Dryads) I'd like to avoids magnets with my Sylvaneth so I'm unsure how I should assemble the 6 Hunters, the 2 Treelords and the 10 Revenants. Any preverances what I should build? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I would do Treelord Ancient and probably Durthu (high in points but if you get a big hit he could potentially do 36 damage in one attack!) Kurnoths - Do you prefer shooting or close combat? Bows have excellent range but the scythes are really nice in combat. Never used Swords. but will try them soon. I would do 3 Bows and 3 Scythes, that way you can try them out I have never user spite revenants so can't really answer that I have only been playing for 10 months so others may have better advice Regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
