Twh30 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi would like option on this list , bit different as no gnarlroot or dread wood cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWilson Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Looks like you will massively struggle on scenario, lots of little units and very little board presence. You're also missing one artifact (only have two) I'd go for Ranus Lamentiri on the Wych. I'd also reccommend putting Ignax's Scales on the Treelord to protect him from MW. The list looks lacking in punch and bodies on the board. You will struggle to clear hordes off the table and will struggle against fast alpha armies due to the lack of screening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Units of 10 will be a distraction and a in the best case a screen for a turn. You are paying 710 points for the one-drop here (400 for Dryads, 230 for Battalions, 80 for Wraith). You can get Outcasts + Dreadwood for 460 points (180 for Battalions, 280 for Spites) and get a big unit of Drydas on top of it for roughly the same points. Plus some rather insane abilities the Dreadwood provides. I understand that you get the Frostheart by virtue of Winterleaf, but I do not think that a single one is worth the tax you are paying (I get the feeling the Frostheart really starts to shine when he brings some bird friends along). If you are eager to use the Frostheart at any cost, I would recommend ramping one of your Dryad units up to 30 models - I imagine they can do a good amount of hurt in your own combat phase getting additional attacks on 5+.

Twh30 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Cool thank you could drop drycha or kurnoth for more dryads I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had little play with list could take drycha out making a unit of dryads 20 changing kurnoth to scythes and add Stormcast vanguard raptors to sit at back of board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Good afternoon, i'm going to have a battle agains tzeentch (so MAGIC and HORDES) at 2000 pts, what do you think about this list? Any advice? Alarielle (600) with Throne of vines Branchwraith (80) with Ranu's Lamentiri and Verdant Blessing Drycha (280) with The Dwellers Below TLA (300) with Lens of Rifraction and Regrowth 1x20 Drydas (200) 1x20 Dryads (200) 1x5 Tree Revenants (80) Gnarloot (130) Household (100) Prismatic Palisade (30) 2000/2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanoss Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Like the list! Any particular reason for the Palisade? Would you intent on summoning more dryads throughout the battle? Would ScytheHunters be your GO-TO summon with Alarielle? I personally would swap the 40 dryads for 10 dryads, 5 Spite Revs and 3 Scythe Hunters. I’d summon a Dryads throughout the game after turn 1. And I’d throw some Hunters (2x3 preferably) in their face to cause some havoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarch Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi, I'm going to a tournament in a couple of weeks and would like your input on my list:Allegiance: Sylvaneth LeadersAlarielle the Everqueen (600)- Deepwood Spell: RegrowthTreelord Ancient (300)- General- Trait: Gnarled Warrior - Artefact: Briarsheath - Deepwood Spell: The Dwellers BelowBranchwych (80)- Artefact: Ranu's Lamentiri - Deepwood Spell: Verdant BlessingBranchwraith (80)- Artefact: Acorn of the Ages - Deepwood Spell: Throne of VinesBattleline10 x Dryads (100)5 x Tree-Revenants (80)5 x Tree-Revenants (80)Units3 x Kurnoth Hunters (200)- Scythes3 x Kurnoth Hunters (200)- GreatbowsBattalionsHousehold (100)Gnarlroot Wargrove (130)Total: 1950 / 20000Extra Command Points: 3 So the idea is to summon hunters or treelord with Alarielle depending on scenario prob first turn to not get blocket by opponent. Then the Wraith will cast Throne to help with summoning dryads, I'll have enough models for 2 extra 10man units of dryads. So the T-revs will cap objectives until I can get more dryads on them and then go of and be annoying. And with Gnarlroot I should be able to shut down most enemy magic phases. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doubt is...is better to replace the TLA with Durthu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronWilson Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Like the list a lot vesco. I'd probably drop Ranus on the Wych, for a very reliably verdant blessing / roused and then put the 3rd artifact on the treelord,. Apart from that I like it Though I 'd probably spend your last 50 points on geminids rather then holding them, you already start with 2 from the batallions.

AaronWilson Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Ahh sorry what I meant is I'd recommend putting Ranus on the Branchwraith instead of the TLA. Then dropping the Artifact from the Wych to put something on the TLA. I'd then recommend putting verdant blessing on the Wraith, meaning you have the blessing on a 4+ and roused to wrath on a 6+. I'd throw regrowth on the TLA instead of blessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronWilson Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 So my first ever AoS event went fairly well, I won the first 2 with major wins and actually had a draw in the final. I won the event with the first tie breaker being victory points (me and my oppenenet were tied on tournament points). Excellent day and the Gnarlroot really did well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aezeal Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) My Gnarlroot struggled (I lost) against a hordy nurgle army 2 days ago.. and my rolls where pretty terrible.. but those chaos marauders (40) and blightkings are nasty for their points. I've been against blightkings a few times now and everytime I put a few hunters against them and the hunters straight up loose to that cheaper unit (blightkings having more wounds and doing more damage).

AaronWilson Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Blightkings aren’t that good at killing Hunters, they have no rend so you’re getting a 4+ with a re-roll. My 3 Scythe Hunters killed 5 the other day without losing one model, I killed 2 before they hit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next turn he hit me first and I lost another one after which I killed one of his....That left me 1 vs 4..... And I fled (strategically to claim the starfall behind him).

Uman Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hi Guys, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I am just starting to dip my toe into AoS(2) and starting with Sylvaneth. I have the app and the old Battletome - I see a lot of people posting about Gnarlroot, and I have also been looking at Ironbark. However, I noted in the app Warscroll for Gnarlroot - it doesn’t say anything about Ancients being able to be used instead of plain Treelords. Also, trying to create an Ironbark list, it keeps saying the Talisman is actually making the army invalid. Are the app Warscrolls still not right (they are saying they were updated 3 months ago) and I can use armies and Battalion rules from the Battletome Warscroll? I am finding it all a bit confusing!

LennyB Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 @vesco I'm curious about your list. I'm brand new to Sylvaneth and this looks like a list that I would like to run. I was wondering what you would think about running the Dryads units as one 30 and one 10. That would free up 30 points leaving 80. That is enough for 2 Endless spells which seems attractive. However, I was also thinking that if the Hunters were dropped to 3 instead of 6 then you (I) could take Drycha for 2K on the dot. No Endless Spells. What do you think? Not just limited to vesco obviously. . Thanks for the feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
