Its badly written tbh

Why spites over dryads

So I want to start sylvaneth from scratch and I want to be able to have flexibility in my lists instead of just building one list. How many dryads do i do I need to buy how many tree revenants do I need to buy how many sets of 3 trees

makes sense. In line with most things now. So maybe blocks of 20 are better to keep them within 6”

Is there a change somewhere in the book that now makes a block of 30 dryads easier to kill?

With so many monsters you really need to replace shroud spell (which kinda sucks) with monstrous vigour. Also a chalice would be so good to heal your monsters

Thanks for feedback! I thought I had gotten rid of mentions of mounted kings summoning, I’ll go back and edit. And yes after my first game definitely putting throne forward lol

no, feeding frenzy is not on their warscroll. In fact neither are the BRB ones...needs FAQ

hey guys, wrote up my list and a little thingy on it over on Honestwargamer.com https://thehonestwargamer.com/aos-list-rundowns/gristlegore-monster-mash-new-battletome/

yea I used to be a fan of a big horror unit. Now with the ability to give them fly, that's extra sweet. They definitely seem to have more synergies than flayers. But man thats a lotta points. Especially when you can get a lotta ghouls for that, and fufil battleline without having to take a courtier as general AND, you get horrors and flayers for free basically if summoned

for sure, there's way more synergies for them than with flayers and horrors imo, but tbh, with hitting on 4s and wounding on 4s, no rend, 1 damage, you are going to need all 240+ attacks to get through even a unit of 60 gits. any -1 to hit screws this army up big time. almost nothing in the army hits on better than 4s (except GK)

Learnings from game 1 played against 120 clan rats, 2 warp cannons, 2 warpfire teams (who did like 40 MW lol) and FW lord thingy, grey seer in bell 1) keeping your GKs beside the throne turn 1 to summon really sucks. Put it as far forward as possible. My archregent ended up basically one turn behind on movement to rest of my army. 2) gristlegore is gross. 3) spells are SUPER important to effectiveness of the army. Consider taking plus cast things or running corpse cart? 4) CP super important as well. You should be making lists with max 1900 points. Probably worth running battallion just for CP, relic and low drops as long as tax isn’t high. With 4 CP to start brooch becomes almost mandatory. You are much less scary without CP 5) ghouls are likely too expensive. 10 will not kill anything. 40 however will kill many things especially if fully buffed

Thanks!

Playing this tonight at 9pm EST on stream Archregent gkontg gkonzd ghast 40/10/10 ghouls ghoul patrol chalice maelstrom 3CP tune in if interested http://twitch.tv/canhammer_tv

Why would you not take it. It’s free. At the very least you can hide your archregent behind it to avoid getting sniped by warpfire cannons haha Playing this tonight at 9pm EST on stream Archregent gkontg gkonzd ghast 40/10/10 ghouls ghoul patrol chalice maelstrom 3CP tune in if interested http://twitch.tv/canhammer_tv

Well game didn’t go well. Was my first game and the noob I am I outran a lot of my auras.

Listening to Richie and Ian today and they seem to rate Bens list highly involving chainguard battallion and one other (in bens it’s the shrieked but they note you could use the bladegheist one or whatever). That’s over 200 points in battallions. Two extra relics, lower drops, and more CP for rerolling charges and +1 attacks. Anyone have experience?

Playing first game tomorrow night with nighthaunt. Seems like every aura is wholly within. What’s the general strategy? Just blob up within your auras and hope you don’t move one model out?

Ben Souza and Alan actually won large GTs with monster mash FEC i did a quick rundown of that list here: https://thehonestwargamer.com/aos-list-rundowns/how-to-eat-flesh-have-your-cake-too-monster-mash-flesheaters/

It also said that when they spoiled the new slaanrsh khorne box lol

whoa calm down guys. It’s just one of those boxes like khorne and slaanrsh just for. So unless we see more for either of those then it’s not likely they do anything different with this box

The wood is the whole base

They’re overpriced lol. Simple

Laurie has been doing very well in uk with the one that allows order ally and using a Phoenix

Yea ritchies list and Laurie’s list are probably the two most hardcore ways of playing sylvaneth at the moment
