SpiritofHokuto Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately Navigating the Realmroots with Swift Vengeance isn't possible as it explicitly states that you can only teleport into woods at the beginning on your movement phase. Moving as though it were the movement phase isn't the same as it actually being the movement phase.

Nixon Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) I have only been using the Free Spirits. The combination with Heartwood seems like a valid option. Edited November 3, 2018 by Nixon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake3991 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 @Nixon I also thought free spirits on their own could be solid! Curious what you are running? Not taking the 2nd larger battalion certainly frees up some points for many options! @SpiritofHokuto I really see no reason why free spirits cannot teleport during the hero phase, see the below rules excerpts. Free spirits states move as though it was the movement phase and alliance abilities establishes that if you are moving in the moment phase you may instead teleport. Free spirits rule "move each unit from the free spirits as though it were the movement phase (they cannot run)...." Allegiance abilities "If a sylvaneth unit is within 3'' of a wildwood at the start of your movement phase, it can attempt to traverse the spirit paths instead of moving normally" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swift Vengeance move happens in the hero phase and they move as though it were the movement phase. There is no start of the movement phase window with Swift Vengeance from which you could trigger Navigate the Realmroots. There hasn't been an official ruling as to this which does seem like an oversight on GW's part. Maybe they think that it's self explanatory and doesn't need further clarification?

Twh30 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi there I’m running a winterleaf battalion and have a rules query. The units alarielle and branchwraith summon, do they gain the benefits of the battalion ie dryads extra attacks on 6’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloth_Corfiser Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Hi (Forest)-folks, just a quick Question coming in: Do you know if Alarielle has any sort of "new official Symbol" or Rune? Would be interesting to know and my Warband of Wanderers needs a fitting Banner to signal their intent on redeeming themselves. There is of course the Symbol of the Tears of Isha with a stylised tree and teardrops falling down however this belongs to the World that Was I would say. Maybe the same could be said about the Heart iconography. Edited November 4, 2018 by Aloth_Corfiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However with how the Wargroves allow for "any other Sylvaneth units" and that the summoning rules do state that they are added to your army I can easily see the argument for letting them do so. Another ruling that needs clarification it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requizen Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Sylv came 8th at Blood and Glory using Winterleaf Wargrove with Alarielle, a Frostheart Phoenix, and 70 Dryads. A bit different from a lot of lists you see out there, though not unexpected since it plays missions well and has good internal synergy with summoning and a solid Anvil in the Phoenix (which will often be a 2+ or better save).

Its an allright list, but with room for improvement. I would like to swap the Bows for more Scythes and the Branchwych for another Branchwraith.

romhi Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Did anyone try or hear about magnetizing revenants? I was thinking about giving Dreadwood a try but buying 4 boxes of Spite-Revenants only to be used in one type of a list is just too pricey for me. I might invest in them if I could alternate the models between Spite and Tree-Revenants as the Tree variety sees much more play in our lists. Could it work?

This was me. It was great fun. Full list is below. It's very tanky, as you say, but it's also surprisingly killy. I got 8k kill points in total, I think.

Not sure I rate the Ancient in there, truth be told. Outside of Gnarlroot he seems overpointed. The list I was playing worked on taking position turn 1, then drawing enemy into the woods. Dryads deal with hordes, magic and Alarielle with big guys. Plus Phoenix is sheer filth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
