Twh30 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Usually with other terrain and that the initial woods is usually 2beyween 1 and 2 as they all have to be 1” within each other, so a big clump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aezeal Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 23 hours ago, Lucky Snake Eyes said: the up to 3 bit seems crazy, so as long as you can fit 1 you're good. But this also means that you have the option of getting more coverage in more open spaces. and that you can just cover the opponents deployment zone with them with the free wyldwood at the start of the game, provided you get the deployment choice of course. the only way to deny objectives from being covered is to get first turn and hope you can run guys up to them first which seems difficult for slower armies like LoN. Now i see why so many people find sylvaneth to be super competitive Usually it's hard for me to even play a 2nd forest of more than one base if there is some terrain on the table.

We found that pretty balanced for sylvaneth and other armies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWilson Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yes a single Wyldwood is up to 3 citadel wood bases, all bases have to be within 1" of each other wood base. The Sylvaneth allegiance Wyldwood, the brought on to the table by Acorn of the Ages and summoned by Verdant Blessing have to be 1" away from terrain and models. The Treelord Ancient's wood has to be 3" away from terrain and models. From playing a fair few games with Sylvaneth and attending CrimBOBO, 3 separate woods is what seems to be the most I get in 80% of the games. Normally 2 with 2 bases and 1 with 3. Normally leaves me 1 more base for a separate 1 base wood somewhere purely for teleportation. 10 pieces of scenery is also fairly common for AoS tables.

Die Gruenhaut Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 So what would you say, how many citadel woods do i need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWilson Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I have 8, I think one more would be the most I would ever need. 8 tend to cover all of the crucial areas of the board, the 9th would be a solo base normally on a fringe part of the table for some janky movement.

Frowny Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 They are my biggest worry getting more into sylvaneth. They are more expensive than actually getting the army! And see very hard to transport since they are quite bulky. I'm thinking of buying one and some mousepad material and cutting out several other bases. Possibly magnetize some trees on there so I can transport them more easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 16 bases out of a 3 x 3 mat (I advice the swamp mat from deepcutstudios). I just drew the circle on there... I mean.. if you put trees on there it'll still be a ****** to transport.

Ruhraffe Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi there! I want to try out dreadwood soon and need some opinions for the list I amateurishly built: LEADERS Drycha Hamadreth (280) - Regrowth, Colony of Flitterfurys Branchwraith (80) - Acorn of the Ages, Throne of Vines Spirit of Durthu (380) - General (Gnarled Warrior), Gyhrstrike UNITS 9 x Kurnoth Hunters (600) - Scythes 3 x Kurnoth Hunters (200) - Greatbows 4x5 x Spite-Revenants (70) BATTALIONS Dreadwood Wargrove (90) Outcasts (90) TOTAL: 2000/2000 EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 2 WOUNDS: 107 I tried to get Alarielle into the mix, but could not find the room for her 600 pt. The Kurnoth Hunters should be repositioned 6'' in front of the enemy with one of the stratagems. If I roll well, drycha and the spirit can advance with the second stratagem in round 1. The branchwraith hangs back with her throne and tries to churn out dryads to help the spites capture objectives while the hunters, drycha and durthu keep the opponent busy on the frontline. Any ideas for improvement? I will play mostly against tzeentch and chaos mortals, as that are my friends armies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronWilson Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The lists producing results right now are Harvestboon / Winterleaf with a lot of Dryads and Dreadwood still does well here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a74xhx Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 My approach to buying wyldwoods was to buy 1 extra base every time I went and bought more models. This spreads the cost out so you don't notice too much. The Vale Of Gyhran makes things cheaper...... but now you do notice the sudden cost of having to buy 4 woods in one drop and the box is HUGE. Also, you end up with 12, probably a few more than you need - overall, you'll probably spend the same amount of money but end up with more plastic at the end.

I think they are way to hard to place, and if you play them like the rules are written, they can really block movement and slow down game-play and they are expensive in real money. I think GW have done much better with terrain specific buffs and rules in later battletomes. Thanks for asking. Edited December 5, 2018 by Nixon I forgot to mention that they are really expensive as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way hard to place, 1" away from terrain and within 1" of each other doesn't seem too complicated to my self but I suppose they are not "place them anywhere". They do block movement but that can be used as a advantage to us, bottlenecking opponents units or using to block a area off from a big monster. I can't argue they slow the down game as I suppose they do. They are costly and are a tax on the army money wise, no argument! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sishuttleworth Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Random question, and I think I know the answer given the White Dwarf track record on these things. In the latest White Dwarf, the player uses a Gnarlroot wargrove, which he has paid the points for, but he hasn't listed the points for the Household battalion that's part of the wargrove. Am I right in thinking that he should have paid the points for both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
