Excellent! Date is in the diary

So I've been working on my Harvestboon Wargrove for the Sheffield Slaughter coming up in February! Excited to say the actual list is completely finished and for my level of painting I'm happy with how it looks together on the table. I'm not working on 30 more Dryads (I have 60 and starting with 50 mean I need 90 to be comfortable) with I'm nearly done with then it's time to work on my 24 trees for my Wyldwoods. As a cool side note, I'll be playing on the WHTV stream on the 30th January against a buddies Skaven, check it out!

When you pick a realm for your army you don't get to pick spells from that realm. When you roll for what realm you're playing in, that unlocks those 6 spells for the wizards in your army.

Heya @Ben! I'm pretty lucky that in my work I get a bit of downtime and could commit to a post every Friday I'd love to a tactica series, touching on everything from deployment, to list building, screening, hero phase, the realms, just breaking down everything with matched play in mind I've dropped you a PM, hope to hear back from you soon!

Geminids, Shackles & Swords I think suit Gnarlroot better. Gnarlroot plays a better defensive game, using the Verdant Harmony to outgrind the opponent, Geminids plays to this style cutting the amount they kill down by the -1 to hit. Swords and shackles are very good respestively, 20 points for average of 2 MW/4MW against chaos is a bargain really. Shackles forces a opponent to dispel it and if they can't it can straight up cripple them. Cogs are fantastic for the army but you don't really have anything to make use of the turn one alpha bar Alarielle and you don't want to alpha her by your self. I think your better off trying to leverage the attrition Gnarlroot can achieve via Alarielles healing, regrowth, verdant harmony, alarialles summoning and Households ability to negate a big scary unit (30 ghasts is the ideal target) with a very tough treelord.

I think 6 spells per turn is the sweet spot when playing in the realms, anything above that you'd need endless spells to really fill up all the slots to be useful every turn. I use 3 wraiths in harvestboon and they work super well, they're all wizards and 2 have artefacts, having multiple cheap heroes which can be -2 hit from shooting and -1 in melee and hard to get to is massive on scenarios like Three Places of Power, Places of Arcane power. The Wizards are also sweet on relocation orb where they count as 20

Yah in matched play Roused to Wrath can only be attempted to be cast once per turn.

Yeaaash I am ALL over this! A local GT woooop!

So when the first unit of core gruntas kill something, the others can't pile in 3" and attack with there 1" melee range.

Cool news! On the 30th January I'll be playing on the WHTV AoS stream, my Harvestboon against the forces of the Skaven

This evening I finished up my spirit of derpthu! Pretty happy with how he came out, just leaves me Alarielle and 30 Dryads to have my Harvestboon wargrove ready for the Sheffield Slaughter in February.

Only the physical bases you put down are the area of the Wyldwood. So the gap in the middle of the triangle / gap in the middle of two are just open ground.

RIP ❤️

I think it's too early to be calling out rules as bad.

Sure but credit goes to Ritchie from just saying as I saw it at CrimBOBO and thought it was neat Alarielle - ToV Durthu, Ghyrstrike, Warsinger Wraith, Acorn, Regrowth Wraith, Ranus, Blessing Wraith, Regrowth 30 Dryads 10 Dryads 10 Dryads Forest Folk Harvestboon Cogs

Had a successful day yesterday with Harvestboon, won a one dayer with 3 majors. Played against Sylvaneth mirror, Archaon Khorne and Nagash LoN!

Got some solid work done on Durthu tonight, lots of work to do still

With the bases for my Wyldwoods all done, I can carry on with the last models I need to get done for the Sheffield Slaughter. One of those is the Spirit of Durthu and I got some good progress made on him last night :D.

Guys the things you're referring to are widgets

This is true sorry, but yeah I played it that way my self as it's a missile weapon so needed LoS

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 like to get my Sylvaneth fully painted next year, currently around half way through.

Well nothing changed for us in the FAQ, so we're all good

These took me MUCH longer then they should! I should really get back to working on models, I need 30 more Dryads, Alarielle & Derpthu ready for Sheffield Slaughter in late February. I'm glad to have the bases done for now, I will crack on with trees once my models are ready for SS :D.

No you're right I just didn't word it very well on the sheet but thank you
