Thanks for the tips! I think you don't see too much in the way of discussion of sub-2000pts stuff because of just how competitive Sylvaneth has been since the army came out. But I'll admit, I like the 1000pts game size so much more, even if just because it means I need to own fewer models, ha.
I have a few quick questions, actually. I recently got a really good deal on some Citadel Woods, so I have three of them now. The warscroll says a Wyldwood can be up to three of these bases; is it most common to start that placement with the three bases, or do people use fewer when using the warscroll?
Also, here's another list idea I've been thinking about. Heavy infantry lists are probably the most correct, but if FEC can do triple Terrogheist, what about Double Treelords?
Allegiance: Sylvaneth
Leaders
Treelord Ancient (300)
- General
- Deepwood Spell: Regrowth
Spirit of Durthu (380)
- Artefact: The Oaken Armour
Branchwraith (80)
- Deepwood Spell: Verdant Blessing
Battleline
10 x Dryads (100)
10 x Dryads (100)
Total: 960 / 1000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 200
Wounds: 49

Hi folks! I recently started to collect some Sylvaneth and I picked up the SC Box. I have idea for a list, and I was wondering if you could check my thinking on this list.
Allegiance: Sylvaneth
Mortal Realm: Ghyran
Leaders
Treelord Ancient (300)
- General
- Trait: Gnarled Warrior
- Artefact: The Oaken Armour
- Deepwood Spell: Regrowth
Branchwraith (80)
- Artefact: Ranu's Lamentiri
- Deepwood Spell: Verdant Blessing
Branchwraith (80)
- Artefact: Acorn of the Ages
- Deepwood Spell: The Dwellers Below
Battleline
10 x Dryads (100)
10 x Dryads (100)
10 x Dryads (100)
Battalions
Harvestboon Wargrove (100)
Forest Folk (140)
Total: 1000 / 1000
Extra Command Points: 2
Allies: 0 / 200
Wounds: 52
So, the main idea of this list is to really practice movement, Wildwood placement, and working with Dryads. I found that trying to build a list without one of the Wargrove battalions made it feel like playing a game that lost out on a lot of the really important points of playing higher level Sylvaneth lists. So, while the Battalions are worth so many points, I think the extra CP and the artifacts, as well as having that really important control of deployment and early game, gives this list an edge that packing a unit of Hunters just doesn't. Plus, the Dryads were always my favourite Wood Elf kit, ha.

Yeah that's what I thought as well, anvil struggles against hordes. But I don't really know the new skaven. Don't they play with multiple big and important units (bell, thanqoul, vermin king and lords)?
Stardrake with halo excels against horde tho, so I guess it's the way to go.
Is it right that in a tournament setting its more important to claim and hold the objectives rather than trying to table the enemy?
I think the most competitive Skaven lists are focused around Plague Monks; huge blocks of them seem to be the way to go. I'm not familiar with Thanquol, so I can't really say, but forty Plague Monks with a ton of attacks each seem like a real threat.
Yeah, almost every tournament I've read about uses the matched play scenarios, which all focus on objectives (I think units killed count as tiebreakers in some). It can be a little difficult for Stormcast to compete against really large horde based armies, but sometimes you just gotta get lucky with pairings.

Oh wow, that Keeper of Secrets is so cool

Hey guys, I going to play a 1500pts tournament this weekend and I am still unsure which list to take. Meta will most likely be DoK, skaven and maybe mixed order.
The first list is a anvil list, which has alot of killing power but suffers object wise and is pretty fragile.
The second one is a stardrake list with the game plan of taking one objective with the most of hero roster while blocking one objective with the comet. The rest of the army will be contesting whatever is left. While being tanky it suffers mostly from the low damage output.
Would like to hear what's the better list to bring, maybe you can help me figure this out!
(I'm also not very experienced in playing tournaments, so I don't know which army traits are better suited for that environment)
Disclosure; I'm not tournament player. I think you got a good idea of the strengths of both lists. My guess, based on what you think you'll see? The Stardrake list feels better, imo. DoK and Skaven have tons of really big, really strong units, and I'm not sure the Anvilstrike list can really deal with them. Fighting Nagash and the like, Anvilstrike sounds much better? But huge killy hordes just sound so hard to deal with imo. Plus like, the Stardrake really does look cool.

I mean I doubt the battleline option (maybe with a character??) but I'd love that to happen because I have too many.

You figure at least Castigators get a boxset and warscroll, right? They're the only unit that just has a push fit box, and still no options for the Prime in the unit. That and a new piece of terrain is probably a Forbidden Power release.
-
It sounds like more of a Necromunda and less of a Kill Team? That's still pretty cool. I was hoping for a good version of Skrimish, but I've forever been interested in collecting a small, weird Chaos warband.

Has anyone given the Lord-Arcanum on Tauralon a shot? I'm thinking about getting a nice big center piece model, and while the Star Drake is gorgeous, I think it's a little beyond what I can paint right now. I like how the Tauralon looks, but is it worth getting over the LA on Gryph-Charger?

Hey folks! I was wondering if I could get some feedback on a 1000pt list? I'm just starting to collect some Stormcast, I wanted to start with some neat models that would be pretty good on the table, if I ever got a chance to play. So it's a mix of a few units to act as an anvil, and the ballistas coming down on a weak flank to inflict some damage. Two ballistas seem like a better deal than other shooting options at 1000pts?

So I'm not sure if this counts as a rumor, but it looks like this link went up on the Warhammer Community site, but the link 404s? Anyway, I guess Looncurse is May.
EDIT: whoops, I was too slow, haha
