*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/2_BR_Kragnos_Warscroll_Alarielle_The_Everqueen_ENG_2021.pdf Alarielle the Everqueen]:''' (840pts).  The over-the-top God model for Sylvaneth. She can't hit as hard as Archaon or outcast Teclis and Nagash, but offers strong support for her army.  That support comes with a major price tag though, at 840 and lacking an in-built ward save, she's almost as overcosted as Nagash.  Almost.  What Alarielle's lost in some areas, she's gained in synergy.  Alarielle also counts as the general even if you have another general, and retains most of her strong points such as speed, durability, the free summon and her spellcasting.  Once per battle, she can make all terrain features count as overgrown until the end of that turn, which creates more bubbles of ward save (which can give her one too) and potential mortal wounds for enemies.  Plus her shooting attack is -2 Rend and a flat 6 damage (decreasing as she takes wounds, but her damage table is much more forgiving, only bracketing after 6 wounds).  She still has the Talon to potentially one-shot a dangerous model.  Despite her power, it's all about how you use her, not the raw stats.
** While no longer able to auto-heal other Sylvaneth (she can still heal them with spells), Alarielle can now resurrect herself once per battle.  When she dies, roll a dice and add the number of the current battle round to the roll.  If it's 6+, she comes back with 8 wounds allocated (which she can quickly heal).  Also note being able to resurrect gives you more opportunity to summon that free unit.    
** Several of her points went into the free unblockable summon, which effectively drops her cost by ~200 points (or at least 130 points - the cost of the cheapest unit she can summon, dropping her to at least 710 points in practice), and you get to pick the unit.  Note that the Dryad and Rev options give you a reinforced unit without using up one of your reinforcement options.  And yes, this summon can be used after she's resurrected if it wasn't beforehand.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//AoS_Drycha_Hamadreth_ENG.pdf Drycha Hamadreth]:''' (335pts). Drycha is back and madder than ever.  Her Flitterfuries or Squirmlings now deal a mortal wound on 6 to hit instead of going through the attack sequence.  The Flitterfuries are an 18" shooting attack with 10 attacks single damage, rend -1. Meanwhile Squirmlings are 2" melee attack, also with 10 attacks single damage, but no rend. At the start of each battle round, you can choose what mood she's in, and as a result one of these attack doubles to 20!  Her talons' attacks have been reduced to 4, but for good reason.  Despite having the MONSTER keyword, Drycha no longer has a damage table.  You read that right, she's always at maximum effectiveness until dead!   Plus she kept all her other benefits, and only for 15 points  more than before.  This lady is a beast!  

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads/aos-warscroll-yltharis-guardians-en.pdf Ylthari]:''' (180pts, with Guardians) Shadespire Hero takes root in AOS.  Requires you to bring Ylthari's Guardians along with, and outside Shadespire she's currently as useful as Vokmortion is for the Bonereapers (that's bad).  Has a bit more melee power than a Branchwych and doesn't share their keyword (is labelled a {{AOSKeyword|thornwych}}).  She re-rolls wound rolls of one and her spell is a supercharged arcane bolt, giving you an average of 2 mortals per cast.  Even if she's cheaper than a Branchwych and 5 Tree Revenants, for these reasons and more (including being labelled Oakenbrow, which is useless for these Guardians in 3.0), don't take her unless you like the models or use her in Shadespire.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/eng_Captain_Emelda_Braskov_Qulathis_The_Exile.pdf Qulathis the Exile]''' (100pts) Kicked out from Cursed City
**Standard 5 wound hero with usual meh melee.
**Surprisingly No magic. Instead you get three 1 damage shots at +3/+3/-1, with additional mortals on 6s. Best thing here is the 24" range.
**Has her own special glade, so can't be buffed by any of our glade bonuses.
**Against missiles her save goes from 5+ to 3+. Most the time you still want to keep her in a LOS blocking wood, but this gives you more options. Then again, it's doubtful opponents will be wasting time raining fire down upon her.
**This lady is purely for use as a sniper. However, you can only take one of her, and she can't take artefacts. Sigh. If you could boost her shooting output or give her a way to boost Kurnoth Bows then maybe she'd find a use. Possible if you ''really'' want more firepower and don't have room for more Kurnoth bows.
**Missing from GHB2021 points. Still valid? Who cares.

*'''Lady of Vines''' (325pts) The missing hand of Alarielle is finally available as another mandatory general and a powerful wizard who can cast/unbind twice with a special spell that gives a 5++ ward to all friendly walking trees in a 12" bubble.  She also counts as an Awakened Wyldwood for any perks provided for being near them, and the ability to deal either a -1 to hit her or +1 to hit the enemy within 3".  Her weapons are fairly decent too, with her melee attacks having a good reach and damage and her ranged attack being very powerful if hampered by its swingy d6 damage.  She also has the ability to summon a unit of 10 Dryads once per game on a 2+, effectively lowering her cost by 100 points (unless you roll a 1).  Taking her with her goddess-mother is over 1000 points, which can give you ''three'' generals by adding a third character, but again that's over 1000 points!  But on her own, she's definitely a good choice.  Consider her a support-y defense version of Drycha.
