Her cry was drowned out by a frenzied buzzing as darting insects spilled from her bark-flesh by the hundred, angling towards the nearest of the trio like a living spear of darkness. Flitterfuries swarmed over the brute’s face, mandibles and poisoned stingers stabbing home again and again. Howling in agony, the gargant tripped and fell, and the Outcast throng surged forwards and fell upon it with lashing talons. Is that just so once per game 2 units can strike and fade? Is that more valuable with spites than more consistent spell casting? These can either be a life saver or worthless, if you don’t know how caster heavy your opponent is. Probably too niche to really recommend. D

Only one twisted in mind and soul would seek the company of such horrors, yet Drycha Hamadreth has named herself their Regent. It is said that Drycha is a truly ancient spirit who fought in the wars at the end of the world-that-was. Many say she failed Alarielle at that time. Certainly, it was not until the darkest days of the Age of Chaos that the Everqueen relented and planted Drycha’s soulseed, releasing the Branchwraith from her millennial limbo. In truth, Alarielle feared the damage that Drycha’s firebrand madness might do and the horrors she might wreak. The Everqueen worried also that Drycha’s was a necessary darkness, and that by keeping her imprisoned, the mother had somehow weakened her children. [1] [3a] Branchwraith is an unsung hero. While not a huge stand out they are cheap, and can summon in a unit of 10 Dryads, which are not great but they can bog an enemy down for a turn and sometimes that’s what you need. Similar to Dread Harvester, this is a great combo with Harvestboon, who really want that early charge. B

Mystic Regrowth – At the end of your hero phase, if this general successfully cast any spells in that phase that were not unbound, you can heal D3 wounds allocated to this general.

Dedicate your army to the noble warriors of the Heartwood, meanwhile, and you’ll gain access to an Artefact that makes your Kurnoth Hunters exceptionally deadly.There aren’t any rule changes directly, other than losing Lords of the Ossiarch Empire , which let you add Arkhan and Nagash despite not having the Ossiarch Bonereapers keyword on their warscroll. Alternatively, if you’re looking to make the most of Treelords, Spirits of Durthu and Treelord Ancients , Oakenbrow lets you keep fighting at peak efficiency for longer, representing the storied resilience of this grove. Drycha seethed to witness such thoughtless devastation. So typical of humans. She had killed for less. All that stayed her rage was the reminder of the words of the Everqueen’s herald, that foolish sapling Tethamyr. Alarielle did not begrudge the Queen of the Outcasts her vendettas, but neither would she countenance open war with the city-dwellers. Drycha had tasted the Everqueen’s wrath before and did not wish to witness it again. The Gore Grunta increase is a no-brainer. The unit has been set as a bar of damage output that other units are compared to because of how good they are. Gobsprakk and Gordrakk follow the trend for Unique heroes to come down in points probably to help reflect that they don’t get to benefit from artefacts/command traits like generic heroes can. I liked Gobsprakk especially at his cost before so a decrease is a very welcome change! Sons of Behemat The Points

As stated before, combined with wyldwood you can relocate much of your force every turn if you’re smart, keep an eye out for openings in your enemy’s line. The Sylvaneth are always ready to defend their homes or march out to war. When they do they are organized into Wargroves, Sylvaneth armies that advance with an unnatural speed that rivals that of cavalry of other armies. Sylvaneth are stealthy to such a degree that an entire wargrove can emerge from a forest, without any hint of their presence coming from their cover. [9f] Like their home realm and their goddess, the sylvaneth go through natural cycles. Some of the darker parts they must pass through, known as the Dreadcycles or simply the Change, are not spoken about with non-sylvaneth. [9h] Reproduction This list was used by William at Quarantine Fanatic II in November 2020 and went 2-1-1. It shows a lot of consistent traits of Winterleaf lists, with Winterleaf being the most popular competitive format. Recently, Kurnoth hunters have taken a bit of a staring role as more elite infantry and being able to reroll all hits with no limitations is pretty nice, especially when greatswords are combined with the command ability.

Ghyran itself was twisted as woodlands contorted into horrible parodies of natural shapes, rivers congealed with filth, and the great cities of the Everspring Swathe were destroyed by plagues and invaders. The suffering of the land and her followers drained Alarielle's strength until she became filled with grief and haunted by sorrow. Alarielle and the monarchs of the Glades withdrew behind veils of sorcery and misdirection and changed their campaign into guerrilla warfare. But after a string of disasters, like the Battle of Tears and the Last Hunt, she broke and fled to the Hidden Vale of Athelwyrd, a land concealed from Nurgle's gaze. For all intents and purposes, the war was lost and hope itself had withered. [9c] Age of Sigmar The newly reborn Alarielle sent a pulse of pure life magic and called forth a great muster of the Sylvaneth with her Spirit-Song, summoning the wargroves of every glade, even the disbanded Sons of Durthu and the disdained Outcasts. She took up the spear of Kurnoth and called a Royal Moot with the Regents of the Glades. The God-King sent his Celestant-Prime and Alarielle made the decision to ally with him. [9d]

Legend tells of the everbeast Fengarant, and of how that colossus found himself one day with Eagderethil – the father of bladewillows – stabbed like a thorn into his paw. Tribal myths across the plains tell one version of this tale or another, but all agree that, in his efforts to rid himself of Eagderethil, Fengarant trampled a mad path across the Thunderlands and beyond. Finally, the everbeast stamped upon the land so hard that the ground itself ruptured and a titanic valley was formed. Into the heart of this rift, Eagderethil was driven and finally freed of the monster’s foot. That expanse, known as Vastclaw Valley, remains to this day.

[9e] Soul Wars Like most command traits in other books its a shame you don’t often see these, since you can’t take them with a Glade. If you decide to make the brave choice of not using a pre-made glade, here you go. Aspects of WarRadiant Spirit Each time this general is affected by a spell or endless spell, you can roll a die and ignore the spell’s effect on a 4+. Drycha has attempted a coup but was thwarted by Ariel and tried to take over Athel Loren during one of Orion's absences, but was banished by the Grail Knight, Calard of Garamont. While the humans and gargants slaughtered each other, the Queen of Outcasts would make this forest her own. She would turn every branch, root and vine into a weapon against these trespassers. Whoever triumphed in their petty war would know only suffering and death so long as they remained in the Grimbark. There are some Sylvaneth who have turned away from their goddess. Although Alarielle has first claim on their souls, as she faded in the Age of Chaos, they found a different lord in Nagash and they still serve him in the Realm of Shyish. [6a] Sources
