It's been years since I wrote in this thread, but I´ve been playing Sylvaneth on and off since AoS launched. Been dabbling in other armies as well but with the release of 3rd edition I've decided that it´s time to focus on Sylvaneth again. With the rumors and hints (WhC-articles etc) I´ve felt that this edition might see Sylvaneht stronger again. I must say, so far I love how the new rules work with our army. I think this edition will be good for us, at least until (if?) a new book drops. Doesn't mean Sylvaneth will be stomping through tournaments and winning each and every game; it is still an army that requires both some skills and a lot of luck. But the playing field have been leveled. And even more important, our army is really fun with the new rules! This weekend I've hade a few (5) games with Sylvaneth using the new rules, scenarios, points etc. I play in a rather "hard" meta/setting, with good players who regularly win tournaments and participate in the ETC- team. Played BoC, Khorne, Seraphon, DoK and LRL. Some wins and some losses but the games was more aligned to trying the new rules than winning at all costs. Sylvaneth are hands down stronger under the 3rd ed rules and with the new points. No question about it. The grand strategies and secondary missions (battle...something) are really important to score a major win and a lot of those works really well with our warscrolls and composition of lists. Just as an example, the grand strategy where you gain 3 WP by surviving with a battle line unit has "Tree revenants" written all over it. I can´t see somebody playing Sylvaneth not securing that one each and every game. While our warscrolls have gone up in points, so have the other armies. However, the synergies and playstyle of our army actually gives us a lot of good tools to make the best of those points. Also, a lot of the new rules either straight out benefit us (monster reactions, for example); others hamper other armies harder then they do ours. Coherency was never an issue for me, but really screws some other armies. Same thing with new command rules (only able to use one command on one unit doesn't impact us very much). I tried Alarielle and her new scroll and she is really good now. The healing alone makes her shine, as does her mobility and shooting attack. She certainly benefits from the monster action- table as well. Drycha was a pure beast, just wow. Dryads are excellent and are actually cheaper now. Tree revs are so good it feels like cheating. I played a few games with 2x6 scythe hunters and yeah, they are as good as ever. Using the Rally command ability on a unit of hunters felt bonkers. Also really like the warsong revenant. Had a lot of flexibility and actually survives pretty good while in terrain. Don´t know if this rambling post will be of any help really Just wanted to post something a bit more positive then what I´ve been reading for the last few pages.

Fan vad kul! Kan rekommenderas alla som är sugna, Boråsarna är ett otroligt trevligt gäng och de har massor av snygg terräng

I kind of think that the possible double turn between turn 2 and 3 is more of a deal. Getting/having to play the first turn sure can put you in a (to) defensive position, but the times I really feel like the dice fisted me is when I loose out on the initiative going into round 3.

I'm sure GW can do the maths and figure out that "simple" rules equates more people getting in to the hobby. I am a bit worried though that matched play/pitched battles will develop into the rules-lawyering of old times in an effort to please the supposed "old crowd". Looking at the Facebook replies it was 0,1 seconds before the first angry post about re-introducing ranks, changing the shooting rules etc etc. Putting my trust in your GW connections @Ben Only thing I´d really like to see is point-adjustments and possibly a few new scenarios. That would be enough for me at least. There's plenty of feedback out there about points so no need on my part to repeat it. Aside from that, here´s hoping they also take the opportunity to fix the rules where there was a need for an FAQ.

Can´t beleive I missed this!
