In conclusion, this warband provides many options and careful planning is greatly recommended, but it can be extremely satisfying. Pros and Cons of the Sylvaneth Warband Just for fun here we present few thematic warbands, meant more for fun or narrative context than for competitive play. Note that in narrative play you need to complete a quest that allows you to recruit a Hero before being able to add him to your roster.

Tree-power: A Kurnoth Huntmaster with Scythe, 1 Kurnoth Hunters with Greatbow, 2 Kurnoth Hunters with Greatsword and 1 Kurnoth Hunter with ScytheLizzie: This is a really fun, swampy green with a number of applications. Naturally, it’s great for giving those Mantis Warriors some time in the spotlight. Blue paints are getting new options in the latest range. Celestium Blue slots between the brighter Talassar Blue and darker Ultramarine Blue. If they get engaged, their melee profile is equally good with Strength 5 and 2/4 damage apiece, justifying their high cost. Lizzie: As majestic as Sigvald himself, this is a really vibrant colour that shades and highlights effortlessly. Naturally, I’ve tried this on the Prince himself and I can confirm – he heartily approves.

Of the legacy warbands, Sylvaneth is the one that changed the most. Apart from Leader wounds going down and point adjustments, the Kurnoth lost their ability but strengthen their melee profile, while the Revenants went from 8 to 10 wounds.The Kurnoth Hunters are between the most expensive fighters in the Sylvaneth Warband, but also the most versatile.

Honestly everything here is… pretty good. This is an interesting box because both armies are considered near the bottom of the tier list and few debate that they needed the update. The battletome will likely be necessary to see how it all comes together but everything here is either an upgrade or at least an interesting side grade. If this box is a sign of things to come I think players will be very happy. Lighaen counts as Beast, and his profile is similar to a Tree-Revenant with higher critical damage (1/4), 8″ Movement but also higher cost. Abilities for the Sylvaneth Warcry WarbandTo resume, a Forest Stalker warband has few options for leaders, like an Arch-Revenant or an Huntmaster, a choice between a Kurnoth armed with Greatbow and one with Scythe (one of them could be the leader) or the Revenant Seekers, and a group of Dryads, Tree-Revenants and Spite-Revenants depending on personal preference. Introduced in the new season of Warcry, Reactions are things that can be done in certain circumstances, but always during the enemy turn. They cost one action, so they can be used only by fighters that have not activated yet or are waiting. There are 3 universal reactions and one specific to each warband: In short you’re trying to edge it as close to death as possible before pulling the emergency ripcord to get a free Verminlord in, very interesting mechanic, with a 5+ Ward it’s very possible your opponent can do sufficient damage to it but not bring it down, allowing you to hit the emergency button. Genuinely better than hoping for a 1 in 36 roll. It cannot be used as an offensive strategy because they appear more than 5” from an enemy and with 4” movement and a weapon range of 1” would take them 2 actions to engage any enemy.

While technically Sylvaneth, the Wild Hunt represent a different group of sylvan aelves: the Kurnothi. As such none of them has an existing counterpart in Warcry. We love gorgeously painted models, so we weren’t going to argue. Here’s Andy to talk about his collection. Lizzie: What a name! Perfect on Daemonettes and other Daemons of Slaanesh – you can apply this over a light skin tone to create gaunt and sunken flesh. It’s also fun to use over metallics to create a really unique tone.

Sylvaneth Miniatures: 1x Lady of the Vines, 5x Gossamid Archers, 3x Kurnoth Hunters, 1x Spirit of Durthu When you set up this terrain feature, it can be set up as either a small, medium or large Awakened Wyldwood.
