Wanna take this for some spooky fluff. If anyone has tips on spells, artefacts, choice of general or whether the Trevs are worth it that would be super appreciated: Allegiance: Sylvaneth- Glade: DreadwoodBranchwych (80)- General- Trait: Paragon of Terror - Artefact: Jewel of Withering - Deepwood Spell: Verdurous HarmonyDrycha Hamadreth (320)- Deepwood Spell: The Dwellers BelowTreelord Ancient (300)- Artefact: Spiritsong Stave - Deepwood Spell: RegrowthBranchwraith (80)- Deepwood Spell: Verdurous Harmony20 x Spite-Revenants (200)20 x Spite-Revenants (200)10 x Spite-Revenants (120)5 x Tree-Revenants (80)6 x Kurnoth Hunters (400)- GreatbowsOutcasts (100)Horrorghast (60)Suffocating Gravetide (20)Vengeful Skullroot (40)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 117

Ok guys, give it to me straight, I wanna play Sylvaneth Dreadwood with Spites and all the minus bravery gubbins - how many trees am I gonna need? I have one Citadel Wood at the moment and painting a huge amount more is gonna put me off.

So... Orktober?

Sweet. One extra command point for me then, have been starting it at turn 2 up to now.

Yeah, had a similar convo with him at Warhammer Fest where he basically explained the WD article in more detail. Have a lot of time for the fella and I think this issue highlights the impossible task he’s up against. Pointing the army for Captain Fluffsalot who names every Daemonette and probably brings 12 Fiends and the top table player running 3 Keepers is a tough thing to balance. Even with the risk of coming up against the KO clown car though, I think we can all agree that some units need to cost more or that summoning points costs need to be higher.

A nice short list to add to the current page. This one is all possible thanks to those lovely points drops. 5 Destruction facesmashers in one list!!: Allegiance: Gloomspite GitzMortal Realm: GhurLeadersDankhold Troggboss (270)- General- Trait: Loonskin Troggoth Hag (380)- Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm Webspinner Shaman on Arachnarok Spider (280)- Lore of the Spiderfangs: Sneaky DistractionBattleline20 x Stabbas (130)- Stabbas & Moon Shields20 x Shootas (120)20 x Shootas (120)BehemothsColossal Squig (300)Rogue Idol (400)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 134 Top tables here we cooooome!!

Big question: Does anyone know / have the optimal deployment of banners, gongs and netters in a block of 60 Stabbas?

Not sure about new models but hope springs eternal that the Battletome is up for preorder next week?

Could be an Idoneth-style rising tide of Waaagh where you get one turn to go bananas.

I’ll be tracking this thread to see all the different spelling of ‘Waaagh’ over the next few weeks.

I think if Skaven and LON Battletomes taught us anything, it’s that soup is powerful and more tools are always welcome. Purists can do their thing but I’m really stoked about picking my fave units from both and bringing a green tide to the board. If there is summoning too that will be bonkers.

Is the voice in the new Death vid the same as the one who did the Bad Moon ones way back when?

It’s more her winding me up than a whine bless her, I think she just wants to know the lay of the land before she jumps in.

My wife has been asking me every day for months when the new Seraphon Battletome is out so I hope to Jesus it’s announced to today.

@Malakree Thanks for that God-Tier post, out of curiosity where would you put the Colossal Squig in your list?

This. Roll dice and win.

How have they still told us nothing about the rules.

I’m liking the ‘key’ vibe to that fan.

Thanks for all the advice above, I will almost certainly end up just putting some more Rockguts in but wanna try this first. Will be fun to see where it lands on the genius / idiocy continuum: Allegiance: Gloomspite GitzMortal Realm: GhurLeadersDankhold Troggboss (270)- General- Trait: Loonskin Troggoth Hag (380)- Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm Fungoid Cave-Shaman (90)- Lore of the Moonclans: The Hand of GorkMadcap Shaman (80)- Lore of the Moonclans: Itchy NuisanceWebspinner Shaman (80)- Lore of the Spiderfangs: Sneaky DistractionLoonboss (70)Battleline3 x Fellwater Troggoths (150)3 x Fellwater Troggoths (150)6 x Rockgut Troggoths (280)60 x Stabbas (360)- Pokin Spears & Moon ShieldsEndless Spells / TerrainScrapskuttle's Arachnacauldron (40)Purple Sun of Shyish (50)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 153 So basically it revolves around a Troggboss / Fungoid CP farm for rerolling 1s, negating battleshock and using CAs but also stacking so many minuses to hit that target priority becomes difficult for my opponent. With a good magic phase the majority of the army could be at least a flat -1 (Madcap with Fellwaters, Webspinner with Rockguts) and the alternative would be the Stabbas buffed with I’m Da Boss. It’s got some movement shenanigans and the knowledge that one of the little wizards could pop out a Purple Sun might just make them think twice (I could swap it for Shards for extra -1 to hit stuff). It obviously isn’t competitive but I’m excited to see how it plays.

Massive thanks guys. Still really unsure about dropping the Batallion but I’ll give some alternatives a try!!

Thanks @Malakree!! So this is what was running a few months back and it’s now 100 points cheaper. Any ideas on what I could add guys? Boss Hag Fungoid 6x Rockguts 2x3 Fellwaters 60 Stabbas Cauldron Troggherd I guess options are: another Fungoid, a Webspinner or a Loonboss to buff the Stabbas and Scuttletide. Unless I’m missing something? Cheers.

What about using WLV as a more defensive type screen now the range is reduced? In a Skryre list where there are no cheap bodies, could you put it down 6.1 in front of 9/12 Jezzails to deter charges and moving near to shoot them? I know it’s not a great idea but it’s all I can think of!!

Fellwaters better in 3s then we reckon now?

Anyone changed their mind about the Batallion as it’s still 180? I’m considering dropping now everything else is cheaper.

No update to the base sizes so my Acolytes that came on 32mm are staying on 32mm. Now I finally finishing basing my Skryre gunline as it has no points changes!!
