Yes thats correct only the free wood has to be 1" way from enemy territory. The free wood also has alot of other restrictions. The ones you get per spell, acorn or ability are much more felxible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be very depressing if they randomly removed that. Toying with quirky mages was a big bit of fun to me. You can still ally stuff like wanderers, deepkin and Stormcast and some dwarves for specific groves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWilson Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Trying out a heartwood list tonight Durthu, Ghyrstrike, Lord of the Hunt (HW CA) Drycha, Regrowth Branchwrych - Consort, Verdous Harmony Branchwraith - Regrowth 3 x 10 Dryads 2 x 5 Tree Revenants 3 x 3 Bow Hunters Forest Folk The dryads iwll be used as screeens, durthu on 2s and 2s with a ca re-rolling 1s seems decent. Drycha seems valid now and adds a decent bit of poke damage, 9 bows re-rolling to hit is also a real threat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a good potential from this list, rerolling to hit for bow kurnoths could be massive dmg and a good come back for them. With ghyrstrike and CA you are almost guaranteed to hit those 5 attacks with durthu, the only problem I see is that you need to get him in combat, maybe the new swarm endless spell or cogs would be a good add.

There is no way you can reliably create that scenario I will adress this magical christmas land of yours. First, the usual Gristlegore player likes to go forthe throat and jump in with his/hers unkillable general. If a kitted Durthu makes them more cautious thats a win! Second, why are we assuming a 1 on 1? This is not Pokemon, you have a highly mobile army and Durthu shouldnt be left alone with the most feared beast in the game. Of course at least one more tree lord of some sort joins Durthu in teleporting and charging. That will secure that the TG king fights last and add some more wounds to the pile. The charge rolls are easy to make now. Third, did you forgot about the second pile in? Im not talking about the foul breathing boneguy now. Winterleaf gives you one free extra pile in. That will be enough to end the beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW already said that you can still use the old wood models. My guess is that 3 new woods are equal to one old wood. So you can put down 1-2 old bases per time you are allowed to place a wyldwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the full video from honest wargamer, but judging from his opinions he really didn't pay much attention when reading all the new rules. They stated that each wyldwood has to be 6" away from enemies, objectives and terrain (i watched until they were done discussing the new woods), which is not true. Only the free wyldwood you get for choosing sylvaneth allegiance has these restrictions. Any summoned/created by ability or artefact wyldwood can be placed 1" away from enemies, objectives and terrain and ALSO inside enemy territory. Im not sure about the treelords. The point decrase is nice but I'd say taking a unit of 3 hunters is always a better option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymajq Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 yeah it's 6" from objectives 1" from other stuff. for the initial trees. Do we know about the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Syf Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Speaking as a non Sylvaneth player, I was kind hoping treelords of all types would get an increase and Allariele went back up to 700 points but I guess it's a perspective thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your faction isn't one of the new battletomes, I would totally understand why you feel that way. It seems that GW's response to balance the really strong 2.0 factions is to just keep buffing every faction that gets updated one at a time, though >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their only advantage over spite revenants is their defence and their 2-inch attack- both of which you get less out of at small numbers (impenetrable thicket).

And only 2 heroes will hurt you in some scenarios. I'd probably swap the dryads for spite reventants. Maybe even one of the tree revs too. Bring a branchwraith and you can get free dryad units. Bargain for 80 pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain for 80 pts. yes if it's a single unit of 10 dryads for 100 points he would legit just be better off bringing a branchwraith and dividing 1 of the tree rev's into two to cover battleline requirements. Of course I would not recommend that but it would still be better than current list. Edited May 28, 2019 by Zanzou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake3991 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 @AaronWilson Please tell us how your game goes! I'd love to use bow hunters myself but am struggling to make them worth their points, perhaps heartwood is the way to go with them. I also love the MSU build with the dryads. I am currently contemplating a slightly different build, check it out below! Glade: winterleaf Everqueen branchwraith: acorn of the ages Arch-rev: winter leaf artifact, general 30x dryads 20x dryads 10x dryads forest folk 6 hunters with sycthes endless spell, spite hive Pretty straight forward plan, alpha if your opponent has set up poorly and if they have set up nice and defensively go for a beta strike which might be even better. This list is only 4 drops so only a couple of armies will under drop it, it could be great to threaten the alpha and then give them the first turn if it means they burn an entire turn doing next to nothing due to their defensive deployment. While allariele went up in points the idea of casting throne of vines followed by the spite swarm endless spell is a great combo. I also like that her 16'' move with fly means that a teleport is not required to get her where she needs to go, with spite hive it's an even bigger move/charge. I'm also a huge fan of big dryad units in winterleaf with the arch revenant plus the ever queen, alot of attacks potentially re -olling 1s and exploding 6s. The other thing I'm quite happy about is the arch-revanats command ability being used in the combat phase, that way if you fail your charges you can save the command points. Play testing to follow I will report back! Any comments are appreciated! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
