Man I feel you, however I convinced my gf to paint the Sylvaneth part so for me Looncurse would complement my 120 grots to rebase and then... I just started two new armies I didn’t really need 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭 Edited May 1, 2019 by alghero81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 21 hours ago, Scurvydog said: What is this crazy talk about too low output from the bows, try 220 points for a Stegadon with 3 shots, effectively now shooting like 1 kurnoth hunter, then that must have no point to it at all by that logic? Strange that the arch revenant does not buff... well revenants, hunters are already super good value. The command ability seem a bit uninspired as well and again seem to be mostly wasted on tree revenants of all things. Had hoped to see the tree revenant evolve into more of a backline of the sylvaneth, they are the poster buys, instead of being a backline commando support unit, doing nothing but being annoying. Arguments like the one you are making aren't particularly useful at the moment. It's not quite fair to compare the Stegadon to Bow Kurnoths as the Stegadon is split between multiple roles. It has more value in melee than from it's ranged attack, and it also has a relevant support ability. It's still not a tournament level warscroll. Kurnoths with bows have nearly all of their value tied to their ranged attacks. You're absolutely correct that Kurnoth Hunters have good ranged damage output compared to a Stegadon, A crossbow might be an excellent weapon when compared with a thrown rock, but that doesn't mean that the military should be investing in crossbows. As to the second point, I think we will need to wait and see if there are any changes to the revenant warscrolls. I wish they were more mainline as well. That said, the Arch-revenant's command ability is really quite an amazing addition to the Sylvaneth army. The range is short, but +1 attack is very strong, and Sylvaneth is really lacking in terms of command abilities in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnelian Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 A new Varanguard release would be an excellent tie-in for Warcry which is set in the Varanspire. Oh yeeeaahh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitGas Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) I just hope we can mark the Varanguard on foot.... cause then lots of others would use them in god-specific armies too! Edited May 1, 2019 by MitGas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though even 6 for £60 is insane, so I'm not sure what they could do to make anyone buy them. Maybe an SC box with 3 of them, a new named character and some other unit for £60? Start Collecting Everchosen: 6 Varanguard and Archaon for £60! 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123lac Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yeah the 'Everchosen' army is in such an awkward space. I hope they soup them into a Slaves To Darkness book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattila Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Rumor engine time ! The curved segmented metal thing could be on the head of new Chaos character. Or some kind of mutation weaponized. Somethjng is on the way. And i dont think that the segmented organic thing is the one on the back of the Arch Revenant so.... another new sylvaneth unit? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Considering we've got all the Slaanesh stuff now I'd say the horn is now aelf for certain as its very unlikely there will be command units within Warcry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 New modelss!!!! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/05/02/lore-focus-spites-of-the-sylvanethgw-homepage-post-3/ Or rather its a huge endless spell for Sylvanath and also solves one of the rumour hints too!! Likely means the new Tome is going to be next weeks pre-order if they are leaking this now. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 That upper left corner one is most likely Sylvaneth and revealed in https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/05/02/lore-focus-spites-of-the-sylvanethgw-homepage-post-3/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhraffe Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) They mention the spites can be summoned. Sylvaneth at the moment only has summoning as abilities on the warscroll; Alarielle and branchwraiths. I guess, sylvaneth will get a new tome and some form of summoning with points as a resource. €: As a friend hinted: This could also be a endless spell, but these are released together with a battletome. So Yay! Edited May 2, 2019 by Ruhraffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 It's definitely Endless Spell - they already showed it. That monstrous centipede is a summoned spite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtnaps Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 They specifically mention Drycha as being "a fearsome leader for your spiteful forces", now usually I wouldn't read too much into this but since the article is on spites and they also talk about how the Spite-Revenants might have actually been spites (so they probably were otherwise why mention it) and they've shown that there are huge spites like Alarielle's beetle, do you think this means that there might be a unit of standalone spites coming with the update? Personally I think it's more likely we see them being the same as the Gladewyrm (which looks awesome) and they'll basically be endless spells (or similar) with the only new unit being the Looncurse hero but a unit of centipedes or beetles could be interesting.

GeneralZero Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 All of the article smells like a battletome 2.0 anouncement. It is now clear that we have: - new Endless spells (clearly confirmed in the article) - new mechanisms for spites - new ability for Drycha - Rumor: new woods/woods mechanisms? - change in the kurnoth hunters (at least 3A vs 2A for bows) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Honestly I expect previews at this weekends event followed by pre-order of the Tome next week. With next week being full of Battletome hints. They wouldn't spoil the new spell this early if it was'n't going to be like that. Though there might be a two week delay, but I'd expect not. This will really boost sales of the new kit as all those Sylvanath players jump in early ready for a new Tome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) I see an excellent kaiju/sandworm for Adeptus Titanicus. Besides that it's nice to see the Sylvaneth range expand slightly to put the bug/spite aesthetics front and centre.

Look at how the highlights scale on the model; This piece is very small. It could easily be a prop fro a new unit or hero, but not a horn-themed endless spell. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
