Hey all I'm pretty sure GW confirmed on Facebook that Sylvaneth Wyldwoods do not get the bonus from the new Citadel Woods warscroll. I just tried looking for the post and couldn't find it. They do have two different warscrolls so that makes sense.

I found this earlier:

In response to the EoTG question:

 

If there is a SLANN with 10", you roll 4 dice and drop which ever one you want.

I just got my first 1k point game in.   This was mostly based on what I happen to have purchased and built.   It seemed like a well rounded enough list, and honestly I just wanted to try some new units out.     My list was:

• TLA - Gnarled Warrior, Oaken Shield, Regrowth
• Branchwraith - The Dwellers Below
• Branchwych - Verdant Blessing
• 20 Dryads
• 5 Tree Revenants
• 3 Kurnoth Hunters (Greatbows)

I made so pretty big strategic mistakes, and had to backpedal my plans a few times.   But beyond that, I had a few questions for more experienced players.

1.  How do you manage to get a forward Wyldwood in place?     I couldn't get one anywhere close to the objective  on my opponent's side of the board (we were playing Knife to the Heart).  While he did a good job of denying placement, but beyond that I had a hard time just getting close enough.

2.  In general, how do you push forward?   I can turtle very well, but I didn't see a good way to push forward.   I could slowly creep my Dryad blob.   Maybe i just need more damage units.

3.  Are Tree Revenants worth taking if I can only bring 5?  They seem too much of a gamble with only 5.   Either that or I am not using them properly.

4. How do I effectively use Hunters (bows or otherwise)?   I was not able to figure out good placement for my Hunters.   I tried to flank and line up shot of the tide on troops coming down the middle.   I think a better spot would have been on the objective on my side of the board.   But I might have gummed up the sight line with my Wyldwoods.    (I will probably try melee Hunters next time).

5. Any other noob tips?

Guys what about durthu ? Is there a problem with his new warscroll? 

(There were some posts on the previous page about this.)

I *think* it's just a typo in the app.   There is nothing in the FAQ/errata section covering Durthu, but all of the other changes are in place.

Maybe not, but it's a more cost effective way for me to get into the game/hobby.

Oh yeah, if you already own the minis, then it's a completely different story =).  I missed that in the previous posts.

Are 20 Ironbreakers really better than 30 Dryads (who are 10 points cheaper)?   They certainly have slight advantages over the Dryads outside of a Wyldwood, but they lose all other Sylvaneth synergy, and don't even count as batteline in a Sylvaneth army.
