Yeah that is fine, bring her out she is awesome, Vlad nica is top rated sylvaneth player in the US and she is in all his lists. 

 

I may try that. I always mess with my models. My Durthu has the back branches of all 3 treelords.  Its not that I am trying to get any kind of advantage I just like havving things "over the top".  I am thinking of using the Aethervoid Pendulum as my Durthu weapon. I think it might look cool

Well, their eminence within the community notwithstanding, they are all wrong, and if you're playing strict WYSIWYG like most tournaments, she has to be modeled with the correct weapon choice.  

 

My Drycha is done with both. Does that work? I admit though I hardly play her.  I just dont like the model.

@Deja vu I'm having trouble quoting you're post... the list won't add but that's no big deal.

First, let me know how the Heartwood plays! I've never considered running it but am curious about how it plays.

Second, I worry about your lack of command ability spending. You have two battalions so three command points to start. You can use them through the generic rules but wouldn't a TLA add a whole lot of value? In general, I think TLA is a most for Sylvaneth lists, he offers so much utility.

Third, I worry about the number of endless spells in your list (160 pts is a lot). You only have two spells a turn with this list (assuming you don't get off balewind or cogs) and I assume you want to use both of those caster's unique spells? You don't have any plus to cast so getting off cogs and balewind may be a challenge in its own right, never mind if your opponent tries to deny.

Final thoughts, I'd consider dropping the Seed of Rebirth and going for Ranu's Lamentiri. I think you can basically throw your branchwraith in a corner with a wood and just cast the summon dryads over and over and not worry about her getting picked off. Dryads will protect her against most deep strikes and the next turn they can move to a more useful location. Then she also gets +1 to cast or +2 on her Sylvaneth spell. Why so many bow hunters? What I'm asking is what is your game plan? You are very low on damage with all the bows, if your hope is to grind out the opponent from range and hinder their ability to get to you then bows would probably be good. However, if you are looking at them to be a significant source of damage I'd look to swords or scythes personally.

Hope this helps! Let me know how the battalion works

 

The main reason I picked that is because I love the hunters.  I am not stuck on bow hunters thought (I know its not all ways seen as a positive but I magnetized them.  My list is some thing I just wanted to try.  I was thinking of turtling the branch wraith in a corner behind a wyldwood with the  Bailwind Vortex.  With the circlet that is an extra 12 inches of range.  I was thinking of spamming out Wyldwood and Dryads.  I wanted to use a ton of Sylvaneth Wyldwoods to slow things down.  Then kill at range.  The only reason I picked SoD over TLA is for the Battalions.  If I didnt go with those I would have picked TLA for sure for more Trees.

 The last 30 points I could turn into another endless spell, but no other spells really are appealing to my idea.

My Harvestboon are coming.   ?

Love the colors. Definitely different than the standard.  I full support being creative.  They remind me of Sylvaneth Stormcast! I mean that as a compliment...
