And instead of Warsinger he could use Gnarled Warrior or Gift of Ghyran on his Durthu, which is - in my humble opinion - a better choice. Of course he is absolutely free to play whatever he wants, I just wanted to ask why he chose Harvestboon. Just liked the idea of having stronger casters and the extra movement. As I am new I can’t say I really know which one is better. Looking at the requirements they look fairly similar so it’s probably easy to play both lists with some minor modifications? This would be the Winter list; thoughts?

Yes sure, it is not too hard to Switch from one to the other. Looking at you list, I would throw out one hunter unit (which you can then summon with Alarielle later) and bump up one of your Dryad units to 30.

Lhw Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Remember Winterleaf needs 4 units of Dryads, not 3 @Gibs. Personally, I liked the HB version better. If you want to go Winterleaf, I think you need to invest heavily in the Dryads, a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And movement is like Rend. Really powerful to have more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vesco Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 hey all 😃 So what are the most used list ? i really feel like the lack of rerolling faile to wound or to hit is the real downside of this army Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) 9 Eel Winterleaf is really fun. A bit too swingy with Eels and Derpu. Sylvaneth can now ally in Deepkin (so the Soukscryer is the true ally). Came 6th at a highly competitive one-dayer event - Bloodshed in the Shires! Bucks Wargaming Collective.

Lanoss Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Versed my mate’s Daughters today - he took a much softer list than last time (not 40 Blood Sisters!). He took Slaughter Cauldron, 3 Hags, 10 Blood Sisters, 30 Sisters Slaughter, 10 Witches, 10 Witches, 5 Canaries Im trying my hand at a solid Gnarlroot list after having a lot of success with my Dreadwood. This is the list I think is quite good, except running the Hunters as 3x3 The dice gods were against me this game. My casting rolls were abysmal. The skankypriest did nothing except fail his castings. I got double turned turn 2 - which hurt ALOT. He killed my remaining Hunter in a unit with his Blood Sisters (who was holding them in the middle of the field) and he killed what was left of my 30 dryads in the middle of the board also with his Sisters of Slaughter - BOTH IN HIS HERO PHASE! So he proceeded to move up the board to my back field and punish me there where he deleted the 20 dryads blob with his fully buffed Blood sisters. My turn 2 was very poor, in that nothing happened! Castings were failed. Attacks were fluffed. It was just bad. Then I got the double turn which I desperately needed then fluffed everything again! For a magic heavy list, I wasn’t going much magicwise. I had however, depleted a lot of what his army had left. we called it end of turn 3 because I would not catch up after his 4 remaining Blood Sisters we’re going to make short work of my 3 remaining Branchwraiths and 3 Hunters I blame the dice gods and my mate’s dice I was using All in all, I feel if I had got turn 2 and didn’t fail horrendously at casting, the game would have swung in my favour. Will just have to keep practicing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frowny Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm just starting to get into sylvaneth with a 1000 points list. Any advice? Just looking to try things so I know where to move next and what to invest in 1 treelord ancient 1 branchwraith ( or branchwych) 30x dryads 5x spite revenants 5x tree revenants 3x kurnoth hunters Any thoughts? Branchwych or wraith? or drop the revenants for both ? Thoughts on command trait? Artifact? How is a treelord ancient at such low points? He doesn't look like he hits very hard.

Hi, in my opinion a good list world be: Treeelord Ancient (General:Gnarled Warrior) Branchwraith (with Ranu’s Lamentiri) Branchwraith Dryads 1X10 Dryads 1X20 Kurnoth 1X3 Then you have 40 points left and you could invest them in endless spells (for example Geminids).

Kaylethia Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 An answer to the old discussion on Drycha from the Sylvaneth Designers Commentary: Q: Do the enemy units that Drycha Hamadreth attacks with her Colony of Flitterfuries have to be visible to her? A: Yes. Depending on how you've been playing her, it's either business as usual or a slightly weaker shooting profile. I was actually playing yesterday, and playing this wrong.

overtninja Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 @Twh30 Don't be that dude who brings Alarielle to a 1k game, haha. That's the least friendly thing you could possibly do with this army. I ran a 1k list a few days back that went Drycha, Branchwraith, Treeman, 10 Dryads, 10 Dryads, 3 Scythe Kurnoth against Stormcast. First time playing the army, but it was a good showing, even if my Treeman got blasted off the table by shooting and a unit of those lightning wizard guys due to poor placement. I lost on points because I was busy trying to see what my monsters could do in combat, but since I usually play Wanderers it's cool to have an army that can fight in melee! Now I have to build and paint a billion trees and some Wildwoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha true not a friendly list can say that is power list so work backwards from that, say take her out add ancient kurnoth hunters and extra branchwych or make unit of 10 dryads into 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronWilson Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Guys I had a absolutely epic game last night, Harvestboon v Brass Despoilers BoC on 3 Places of Power. I took first, grabbed all 3 objectives with Branchwraiths, summoned stuff and threw Durthu & 30 Dryads into the enemy. Killed some stuff and went ahead 3-0. Got double turned and lost all 3 wraiths! Opponenet used a doombull to steal one objective so was 3-3. On the swing back Durthu teleported and failed to do any wounds to a doombulll.. but I doubled and killed his doombull so I go 4-3. He doubles me back! Killing durthu and running his last hero onto a objective to go 4-6, to take the win Alarielle had to teleport, not roll a 1, make a 7" charge (with cogs and boon) kill the shaman and claim the objective! She did it and I used some teleporting dryads to tag the few things that could get to her, and took a 7-6 win. Oh my lord, every single double turn I thought I lost then won then lost. I spent the whole time laughing and me and my buddy had a baller time, it was just amazing.

I'd see all AoE things as not needing line of sight.. but I never play flitterfuries anyway since I aim for battleshock tests on big units if I use her.
