WALKING TREES I TELL YOU! WALKING TREES!

Lore Tactics General Tactics

New Battletome is due immanently, but is delayed (apparently stuck in customs) and has since leaked. Everything here is written according to the new tome, but still could do with filling out with more tactical discussion. References to the old battletome are kept as italics at the end of a description. Why? It prevents new Sylvaneth players getting confused about old cruft they don't need to know.

Why play Sylvaneth?

So you like trees, nature, gardening and "Catch me if you can"? Well then, welcome to the Everqueens glorious wooden host! A fleet of Foot we spring from our forests, reaping our foes lives with Mortal Wounds, before vanishing back into the woods, leaving those still alive confused and broken. When it comes to hit and run, keeping multi-wound models alive and literally shaping the battlefield to our needs, none compare. For we live between the Elite Armies of the Everchosen and hordes of Death and Destruction, our glades and copses are filled with singing dryads and solemn Kurnoth Hunters, ever watchful of the outsides and our enemies. For the Deepwood stirs...

Pros

• New battletome for 2019 that replaces the four fixed one-drop army lists with a whole host of choices.
• We have a lot of new and glorious models, almost completely in plastic (just one finecast, which sadly you will be needing).
• Easily paintable chaff with Dryads. Which is useful as you'll be painting a lot of them.
• Almost everything we have is at least -1 Rend.
• We get around quickly. One of our Battleline moves 7". Other stuff can teleport. If you like mobility and board control, we are one of the best choices to date.
• Just look at Alarielle model. Her buffs and damage output are also as awesome as she looks.
• Massive Board Control if you can get those woods out.
• Kurnoth Hunters. Even by heavy infantry standard in AoS, absolute damage monsters. They will do a lot of heavy lifting.
• Great, often colourful paint schemes. Whether you want your trees to be in full bloom, fiery autumn or paint them as a haunted ghastly forest, you have a lot of choices.
• Lorewise, we boast one of the leaders of an entire realm and two survivors from the World-That-Was (three if you count the Spirits of Durthu).
• I am Groot.

Cons

• New battletome for 2019 that replaces the four fixed one-drop army lists with a whole host of choices.
• We are very bad to transport. Seriously it's a pain with all these small bits and twigs. Even foam packaged boxes hurt us. You'll want magnets and a big metal box.
• Limited defense against Mortal Wounds, but more than before (which is also the new role of the Gnarlroot Wargrove).
• Those Citadel Woods have been replaced with newer models, but you're still going to be requiring a few sets of them, which is still going to be a significant investment and still be a pain to transport. Just not quite as bad as before.
• A reputation for being no fun to play against due to overly defensive turtling. That should be mitigated now, but opinions die hard.
• I am Groot.

Rulebooks

The Sylvaneth Battletome 2019 version has all the Warscrolls, Battations, Allegiance Abilities and Matched play points

• This should be supplemented with the Sylvaneth Errata and Designers' Commentary from the FAQs.
• Alternatively up to date warscolls (in the new style) can be found in the WH AoS app. Warscrolls on the GW webstore match those in the Sylvaneth Battletome.

As with all factions you'll want:

• The core rules are either downloadable or in the Core Book.
• Games taking place in a Realm need the Realm of Battle rules from the Core Book.
• In you want to take advantage of realm specific artefacts you'll need the Artefacts Of The Realms section from the Malign Sorcery book.
• Matched play battleplans are split across the Core Book and General's handbook 2018.
• All books should be supplemented with any updates from the FAQs.

Allegiance Abilities

Battle Traits

Armies with the SYLVANETH allegiance have the following abilities:

• Awakened Wyldwoods: After territories have been determined but before armies are set up, set up ONE Awakened Wyldwood anywhere on the battlefield more than 1" from any other terrain feature, enemy territory, and more then 6" from any objectives. Soon in this article you will see why you can't really play Sylvaneth without them. 2019 Differences: Distance changes.

• Forest Spirits: You can set up a SYLVANETH unit aside for every unit deployed on the field. In any of your movement phases, you can deploy it on the battlefield. All models have to be wholly within 6" of an Awakened Wyldwood and more than 9" from any enemy models. This is their move for that movement phase. Sylvaneth deep strike. Exploit it with Spirits of Durthu, melee Kurnoth Hunters, and their shared battalion, Free Spirits. Trunks fall, everyone dies. 2019 Differences: Distance changes.

• Navigate Realmroots: Instead of moving in the movement phase, ONE SYLVANETH unit wholly within 6" of an Awakened Wyldwood can be moved to wholly within 6" of another wood. Treelord varieties have the Spirit Walk Ability and can teleport in addition to this one unit. 2019 Differences: This used to be usable for multiple units a turn and the rolling after has gone. Definite nerf, but also simpler to use.

• Places of Power: After territories are chosen but before armies are deployed, select one terrain feature (this could be an Awakened Wyldwood YOU deploy according to order of operations... might need an FAQ). Friendly Sylvaneth units wholly within 6" of said terrain feature do not take battleshock tests. Interesting buff, it lets you sort of pick a focal point of where you want to commit to battle, and then have your, say, 30 block of dryads get to ignore battleshock while holding up the enemy.

Command Traits

A general of an army with a SYLVANETH allegiance can choose one Command Trait from the lists below:

Aspects Of War

1. Dread Harvester: If charged, can reroll melee hit rolls.
2. Gnarled Warrior: Reroll saves of 1. This used to be ignore rend unless it's -2 or better. Horrible nerf.
3. Gift of Ghyran: Your general heals 1 wound at the start of each of your hero phases. This used to bump to D3 if near a wood. Sadly nerfed.
4. Lord of Spites: Reroll wound rolls of 1. This used to be reroll first failed hit roll. So, that's better now.
5. Warsinger: +2 to any charge rolls made for friendly SYLVANETH units that are wholly within 12" of your general. Good choice for turning a spirit path walk into a charge on the same turn; essential for any alpha strike lists. Used to be +1 and within 10 (but not wholly)."
6. Wisdom of the Ancients: All friendly SYLVANETH units wholly within 12" of your general in the battleshock phase add 1 to their Bravery. Best near revenants, your most vulnerable to battleshock. Used to be within 10" (but not wholly).

Aspects Of Renewal

Wizards only

1. Arcane Bounty: General knows 1 extra Deepwood spell.
2. Mystic Regrowth: If General successfully cast a spell, then heal D3 wounds at end of hero phase.
3. Voice Of Warding: General can unbind one extra spell per turn.
4. Glade Lore: General gets +1 to casting rolls when wholly within 6" of a wood. Sounds great for Alarielle, but very restrictive getting her into position to benefit.
5. Spellsinger: General gets +6 range of all spells. This used to be the silverwood circlet.
6. Radiant Spirit: If affected by a spell/endless spell, roll a dice, on a 4+ ignore the effect. Note the correct usage of affect and effect.

Artefacts

One HERO in an army with a SYLVANETH allegiance and has chosen to take the SYLVANETH allegiance abilities, plus one HERO for every battalion selected, can choose one Artefact from the lists below.

Weapons Of The Glades

These effect a single melee weapon belonging to the bearer

1. Daith's Reaper: Additional rend of 1. Used to be on 6 get -4 rend. Much more useful now.
2. Greenwood Galdius: If charged, +2 attacks that turn.
3. Autumns Ire: Reroll hits and wounds of 1.
4. Winnowstaff: Can reroll all hits against enemies with wounds of 1.
5. Ancient Barkblade: +1 damage.
6. the Darkest Bough: On an unmodified wound roll of 6+, deals an additional D3 wounds

Boons Of The Everqueen

1. The Oaken Armour: Reroll saves of 1. Used to be +1 to save rolls. Horrible nerf.
2. Briarsheath: -1 Hit penalty for anyone attacking the bearer.
3. Glamourweave: 5+ save-after-the-save. Great for a Spirit of Durthu tanking Wounds because he can use that to protect himself, and also the only thing in the army that ignores mortal wounds. Used to be only 6+.
4. Lashvines: For every wound from a melee weapon, on a 6 from a D6, the attacker gets 1 mortal.
5. Silken Snares: Ignore rend of -1 from enemies.
6. Nightbloom Garland: Unit is invisible when 12" from enemies.

Verdant Treasures

1. Seed of Rebirth: The first time you lose your last wound roll a D6. On 2+ they come back to life with D3 wounds. Obviously best for a Branchwych/wraith, as a monster with D3 Wounds might as well be dead again. Especially useful on a Branchwych, as if she dies and comes back, she still counts as having taken wounds for the purposes of her bonus. Slight nerf and used to not require the dice roll.
2. Wraithstone: Subtract 1 from the Bravery of enemy units within 10" in the Battleshock Phase. Combine with Spite-Revenants for best results.
3. Everdew Vial: +2 to run and charge rolls.
4. Lifewreath: Roll a dice in hero phase, on 3+ all Sylvaneth units wholly within 10" heal +D3 wounds.
5. Crown Of Fellbowers: Pick an enemy within 6". You can reroll all wound rolls against them.
6. Etherblossom: Bearer can fly. Durthu will love this.

Relics Of Nature

Wizards only.

1. Acorn of the Ages: Set up a Wyldwood wholly within 12", one-use only. The old favourite artefact of the one drop armies. You can simply throw a forest-shaped wrench into enemy charge lanes, you can let an isolated Hero summon their own reinforcement spawn point, you can make some cover to make a stand. This used to be within 5" (not wholly).
2. Spiritsong Stave: Additional spell cast per turn. Amazing!
3. The Vesperal Gem: Once per turn, automatically succeed a Deepwood spell roll. Sounds great.... but, then roll a dice, on a 1 you get D3 mortals. Ouchy. Good thing you have healing out the ass. Amazing relic because while you NEED magic, you don't have a lot of multi spell casters OR casting bonuses. Very solid choice. Note, Verdant Blessing is not part of Deepwood, so no autotree spamming.
4. Luneth's Lamp: +2 unbinding/dispelling rolls for endless spells.
5. Hagbane Spite: If you successfully unbind a spell, the caster gets 1 mortal.
6. Wychwood Glaive: Pick a melee weapon, it gets +2 damage against wizards.

Spell Lore

All SYLVANETH WIZARDs know Verdant Blessing, plus they can take a spell from the Deepwood Spell Lore.

Verdant Blessing (6+): Casting value 6. Sets up an Awakened Wyldwood wholly within 24". As useful as the Wyldwoods are to you, this spell is pretty good. This used to be 18", part of the Deepwood list, and was more or less auto include.

Deepwood Spell Lore

Every WIZARD in an army with a SYLVANETH allegiance and has chosen to take the SYLVANETH allegiance abilities can choose one of the following Spells:

1. Throne of Vines (5+): Caster gets +2 to cast/unbind, but only as long as you don't move. Amazing MUST TAKE for Allarielle and her three casts per turn, which allows her to summon woods on a 4+ and buff her Metamorphosis! Also good on a Branchwraith to help her get the Dryads out more consistently. This used to be +D3 to cast.
2. Regrowth (5+): Casting value 5. Heal D6 Wounds to a friendly Sylvaneth unit wholly within 18". TAKE IT. I don't care about your strategy, take it. Alarielle? Take it. Treelord Ancient? Take it. Drycha? Take it unless you want a suicide bomb. Used to also heal D3 on non-sylvaneth.
3. The Dwellers Below (7+): Pick a unit within 10", roll a D6 for every model in the unit, every 6 deals a Mortal Wound. Basically Vermintide/New Treason of Tzeentch. It's good, with a potentially gigantic damage output, but unless used against units of 20+, Arcane Bolt will probably do more.
4. Deadly Harvest (6+): Each enemy unit with 3" gets D3 mortals. Nice when you're stuck in melee, but only really good in combination with the Silverwood Circlet. Also, remember that it gets better against multiple small units, but worse against horde armies. This used to be call The Reaping.
5. Verdurous Harmony (7+): A unit wholly within 18" regains 1 slain model (or D3 for Dryads, Tree/Spite Revs). New spell! Is a variant of an old wargrove spell.
6. Treesong (7+): For one enemy unit within 16" and 6" of a wood, you get to reroll melee hit and wound rolls of 1 against them. Completely rewritten, used to move a wood 2D6.

Endless Spells

• Gladewyrm (30pts): Ancient protectors of the spice realmroots. CV 7. Predatory (8") spell that does D3 mortal wounds to non-SYLVANETH units within 1" and heals D6 wounds to SYLVANETH units within 6" of where it ends up. Pretty good for the cost.

• Vengeful Skullroot (40pts): CV 6. Predatory (8") spell, adds D3 to fleeing models that fail battleshock tests within 3" of it as long as they're not SYLVANETH. Also does (D3?) mortal wounds to units it passes across, boosted to D6 if said units are within 3" of an AWAKENED WYLDWOOD, again only if they aren't SYLVANETH.

• Spiteswarm Hive (50pts): CV 7. Lets you choose one of the following effects in your hero phase each turn it's around: Roll a dice for each SYLVANETH unit within 8", on a 2+ add 3" to normal moves and charge moves until the end of turn; or on the same 8" range 2+ roll reroll saves of 1 for that unit.

Glades

Every Sylvaneth army gets to optionally belong to a glade, which gives you an extra ability, command ability, fixes your General's command trait (you cannot choose from the Allegiance Abilities lists) and fixes your first artefact. Given this is free, it sounds like a must have, unless you really don't want the forced command trait and artefact (the latter you can mitigate by taking a battalion or two).

The Core FAQ clarifies that if you take Alarielle/Drycha as your general and a Glade, you don't get the Glade's Command Trait.

2019 Differences: These are named after the Wargroves from the old Battletome, but they're very different. They are not battalions. They do not restrict what units you can take (two of them even allow extra allies). They do not give you extra artefacts, and instead restrict what traits and artefacts you can take. They do not cost. They do not allow you to one drop your army. It's a new world, and some may not like what they see.

Dreadwood

• Ability: Malicious Tormentors: Spite Revs reroll hits of 1.
• Command Ability: Sinister Ambush: Once per turn, take a unit within 18" of a Hero and replace them anywhere on the battlefield, >9" of enemy units.
• Command Trait: Paragon Of Terror: Enemy units reroll successful battleshock tests when within 6" of your general.
• Artefact: Jewel Of Withering: -1 to melee wound rolls attacking the bearer.

The spooky choice. Gives a reason to use Spite-Revenants. The battleshock reroll jells nicely with the Spite's -1 bravery buff, and hit rerolls on top of their 3+ to hit should make them terrifying. The teleporting is only good for deep striking a single unit, but combine with wyldwood teleporting and you can also throw over a bunch of Treelords and a big unit of Dryads at the same time.

Gnarlroot

• Ability: Shield The Arcane: Units reroll hits of 1 when within 12" of Wizards.
• Command Ability: The Earth Defends: If within 12" of a hero, roll a dice when allocating wounds or mortal wounds, ignore on 6+.
• Command Trait: Nurtured By Magic: Once per turn, if your general successfully casts a spell, a unit wholly within 18" heals D3 wounds.
• Artefact: Chalice Of Nectar: Roll 3 dice when casting or unbinding and discard one of your choice.

The magicy life choice. The chalice means the bearer will may never fail a cast (throw onto a Branchwraith for almost guaranteed 10 Dryads per turn). The Ability and Trait are going to really help keeping everyone alive.

Harvestboon

• Ability: Vibrant Surge: Reroll hits of 1 after charging that turn.
• Command Ability: Fertile Ground: A unit within 12" of the General gets +1 attacks to all melee weapons.
• Command Trait: Seek New Fruit: After attacking, your General can move 6", ending more than 3" from enemy units.
• Artefact: The Silent Sickle: One melee weapon of the bearer gets +1 attacks.

The Sparta choice. Consider making Durthu your general, boost with both the Ability and Artefact, then get him to retreat after attacking. Damn.

Ironbark

• Ability: Stubborn And Taciturn : Reroll battleshock tests when wholly within 12" of any heroes.
• Command Ability: Stand Firm: Pick one enemy unit that charges within 1", roll a dice. On 2+ they get D3 mortals.
• Command Trait: Mere Rainfall: Your General rerolls saves against missile weapons.
• Artefact: Ironbark Talisman: +1 for melee wound rolls.

In addition, you get Dispossed and Fyreslayers as allies.

The dwarven choice. Rainfall will probably just make your opponent target elsewhere (but you are forcing that choice upon them). Stand Firm is going to stop any small heroes from charging you.

Winterleaf

• Ability: Winter's Bite: Unmodified melee hit rolls of 6 score 2 hits.
• Command Ability: Branch Blizzard: Extra shooting attack - pick a visible enemy with 12" of a hero. Roll a dice for each model in that unit. Each 6+ is one mortal.
• Command Trait: My Heart Is Ice: Each wound from a melee attack, roll a dice, on a 5+ the attacker gets one mortal.
• Artefact: Frozen Kernel: Pick one unit at the start of combat. After attacking, if within 3" of a unit, it can pile in and attack again.

Warscrolls

Leaders

Named Leaders

• Alarielle the Everqueen: (660pts). As expected from the next big over-the-top God model, Alarielle is downright terrifying. Specifics? Sure.
  • The lady has a massive pool of 16 Wounds with a 3+ Save and yet she still rocks a 16" Flying Move stat.
  • She can heal a Sylvaneth models around her for D3 each turn.
  • She also has a massively strong throwing spear with equally massive 30" range and the beetle hits harder than anything else in the game. It's so damn strong it damages people standing in terrain if it charges into said terrain and has five damage 5(!) attacks. And her other weapon is basically the Massive Impaling Talon, but supercharged and with 4 attacks and any hit rolls of 6 score D3 wounds.
  • Like Nagash and Archaon, she is not really something you compare to normal models. She's too powerful for that. She's simply something you try to survive.
  • Three casts per turn. Use them to cast Malign Sorcery endless spells and consider giving her the Throne of Vines spell.
  • She gets a one shot unblockable summon of a Treelord (regular), 3x Kunroths, 20x Dryads, 10x Tree- or Spite-Revenants or, umm, a single Branchwych. This effectively dropping her cost by ~200 points, and you get to decide which unit to spend those ~200 points on during the game. Remember, you've probably already got your Dryad summoning covered by the Branchwraiths.
  • Her spell Metamorphosis (7+), you roll as many dice as the casted value, and each 4+ deals a mortal to a unit within 16". If that kills the enemy, then you can place a wood there.
  • 2019 Differences: Talon has been nerfed (no longer auto kills), Soul Amphorae no longer heals her, Metamorphosis is more expensive. However, Battering Ram is now auto hit and Gyhran's Wrath can be used every time (for a CP). Worse of all of this is she's gone up from 600 points. Ouch. Still probably worth the points, given she was fairly cheap before.

• Drycha Hamadreth: (320pts). Drycha is back and more pissed off than ever.
  • 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 not 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!
  • In addition, her talons give another 6 attacks at damage 2, rend -2. This lady is a beast!
  • She's also excessively fast with a 9" Move that is not weakened by her damage table.
  • Her spell (6+) scores D3 damage to every unit within 10" based on a roll against the unit's bravery. This ends up being difficult to score damage against high bravery armies such as Death. This spell combos up with her relationship to Spite-Revenants though. The Spites lower enemy Bravery in order to power her damage-off-of-Bravery spell whereas she grants them better To Wound rolls.
  • 2019 Differences: She's gone up from 280 points. For that you get both Flitterfuries and Squirmlings, which now have normal attack profiles instead of mortals, but the slendervines attack has gone. You get to choose her mood, instead of rolling, but it's slightly nerfed. The spell is simplified, both reducing its max damage, but making it more likely do damage.

Generic Leaders

• Branchwraith: (80pts) Essential summoning support
  • As a Hero she sports a very meh stat wheel with the exception of her above average movement speed (7"). Her melee will offer only token resistance to opponents, big surprise, she's a Wizard after all, but when in a wood, she gets -1 to hits made against her, which helps. Although you shouldn't really ever be getting her into combat, she should ideally spend her life hidden in woods, teleporting between them.
  • That summoning though allows you to summon 10 Dryads every turn. Game breaking? Well, not quite. Firstly you need to successfully cast (7+) and not get unbound; secondly said Dryads need placing in a wyldwood more than 9" from an enemy. You basically have to put a forest in your backfield and just use it to churn out dryads, then teleport them where you need them to go. You could be looking at 2-3 movement phases before they can charge anything. If you have any sense you will keep this crazy looking plant lady in a backline Wyldwood churning out dryads as it also makes the lady harder to hit in addition to raising her Save like normal cover.
  • Consider giving your wraith anything that bumps the spell cast to try and guarantee a whole 100pts of Dryads every turn.
  • Consider taking two Branchwraiths. Use the second one for verdant blessing wood summonings. If the Dryad summoning wraith dies, you have a spare one. Now you can afford to be a little riskier and put one in a wood near the front lines to get those new Dyrads into combat quicker. And if that's convinced you, then maybe you want to consider a third Branchwraith. Arm them with an array of Deepwood spells and you should always have something useful to cast, especially given turn 5 (or even 4) it might not be useful to summon more bodies that you won't get into combat.
  • 2019 Differences: Just some distances changing to wholly within.

• Branchwych: (80pts) Aggressive support wizard.
  • Same meh stat wheel as the Branchwraith, but with slightly better melee.
  • Have her attack last, in the hope that she took a little damage, as this doubles her Scythe attack, making it more useful and put out more damage.
  • Her spell Unleash Spites (5+) is a damaging pulse effecting all enemy units within 9". It works best against the more units that are in range - If there are only 1 or 2 target units in range, then arcane bolt will usually do more damage than the pulse, but it gets better against more units, of course. On average, you'll except 1.11 mortal wounds per unit.
  • In Skirmish, the pulse is extremely broken, as every model is a unit. So, get within range of the front line and suddenly every model is hit with rolling a minimum of 5 dice, giving mortal wounds on sixes. Most of those models are single wound chaff, because skirmish doesn't allow you to take any of the good stuff, and you've got a game winning massacre. Sadly that pulse is the only thing we've got going for ourselves in Skirmish.
  • The oft whispered about Branchwych Bomb involves sticking her on a Balewind Vortex inside a mid to frontline wood, giving her Deadly Harvest, Spellsinger, and using whatever casting bonuses you can get hold of. Then sit back and cast both spells, spamming mortals out in 21" and 15" bubbles. In practice you're tying up far too much to get this off reliably. Just don't run crying when your 5 wound guy gets wiped out pronto after one round of this. Clearly hilarious if you can get it to work.
    • It's possible to invest even more into this strategy by adding an Umbral Spellportal, but even that doesn't make it worthwhile.
  • Difficult to recommend her when you can get a spare Dryad summoning Branchwraith for the same cost, and give her Dwellers Below which isn't that much worse than Unleash Spites.
  • 2019 Differences: Just some distances changing to wholly within.

• Spirit of Durthu: (340pts) This is SPARTAAAAA *ahem* supercharged Treelord.
  • The Spirit of Durthu is an absolute damage monster, with extremely powerful shooting, terrifying melee and all the standard tricks of the vanilla Treelord.
  • Oddly NOT a named character (and therefore not reduced to 0-1 in Matched Play), but very expensive.
  • A shooting attack that is basically the vanilla Treelord's Stranglevines on steroids, with higher range, more shots and higher damage per shot.
  • His sword is just about as terrifying as it looks, with constant damage 6 so long as he stays in good health and 2 bonus attacks for being near a wood.
  • You really need those big melee attacks to actually hit. So have consider having your Sylvaneth be from Ghyran, and give your Spirit of Durthu the Ghyrstrike Relic. 3 attacks (plus 2 if near a wyldwood), 2+ to hit, 2+ to wound, 6 damage. Holy good fuck.
  • He also adds 1 to the Bravery of friendly Sylvaneth.
  • 2019 Differences: Other than the stuff copied across from the Vanilla Treelord, he looses the damaging shooting supercharge and the ability to take wounds from others (not that either were used much). The bonus for being near a wood is a fixed 2 attacks instead of D3. So, no practical changes, but he has gone down from 380 points! Drycha and Durthu are almost level pegging.

• Treelord Ancient: (300pts). The swiss army knife Treelord
  • If Durthu is a supercharged Treelord, then this is the slightly weaker but more useful version. He retains all the abilities and powers of the vanilla.
  • Compare to a Vanilla Treelord, this guy has 1" less movement and 1 less attack on its Sweeping Blows. This doesn't seem like much, but the drop from 4 to 3 attacks is actually quite drastic. And what does this old fella get in return? An extra 3 to its Bravery, 18" range on its strangle roots, gains a command ability and becoming a freakin' wizard!
  • His unique spell will do D3 damage to any enemy units on or around your woods. It's either a great deterrent to entering your woods or a great punishment if the opponent was dumb enough to actually do it.
  • Once per battle he can unconditionally summon a new wood. This makes him an almost must take if you want to guaranteed second wood out on your first turn. Note this is once per game, not once per Ancient per game.
  • Has a Command Ability that lets all the Sylvaneth around him reroll saves of 1s.
  • He's got a lot of stuff going on, but at 300 points he's actually fairly expensive for what you actually get out of him, and possibly works best in 1000point lists where you've got less room other stuff.
  • 2019 Differences: Other than the stuff copied across from the Vanilla Treelord, the wood summons is just once unconditionally instead of on a 4+, and some distances changing to wholly within.

• Ylthari: (180pts, with Guardians) Shadespire Hero takes root in AOS.
  • Requires you to bring Ylthari's Guardians along with.
  • Similar to a Branchwych with a bit more melee power and is labelled a THORNWYCH.
  • Re-rolls wound rolls of 1.
  • Her spell (6+) is a supercharged arcane bolt, giving you an average of 2 mortals per cast.
  • Might be best leaving her for Shadespire. You're paying 20 points more for her and the Guardian's than you would for a Branchwych and 5 Tree Revanants and not really gaining much in return.
  • 2019 Differences: New for 2019!

• Arch-Revenant: (100pts) A newbie in the Sylvaneth ranks, added with the Looncurse battlebox.
  • Is very fast, with a move of 12" and an ability to fly until she loses her mount (see below).
  • Has the best non-Behemoth Hero melee in Sylvaneth (which doesn't say much): three 2" 3+/3+/-2 Dmg 2 attacks with her glave and a single 4+/3+ Dmg D3 attack with her mount.
  • Slightly more survivable than a Branchwych, with five wounds, a 4+ save and an ability to sacrifice her mount to negate one allocated normal or mortal wound.
  • Has a shield for either defensive or offensive use: at the start of the combat phase you may chose to use it to re-roll either save rolls or hit rolls of 1.
  • Buffs Kurnoth Hunters within 12" of herself, allowing them to re-roll hit rolls of 1.
  • Has a great command ability, adding 1 attack to each model's weapon in a unit within 9" (12" if the Arch-Revenant is your General). Combine this ability with alpha-striking unit of Tree-Revenants, or buff the hell out of ranged or regular Kurnoth Hunters - either way, the following phased would really hurt your opponent.
  • Sadly currently only available in the instantly sold out Looncurse box. If you've not got one you'll have to wait for a while or get scalped on ebay.
  • 2019 Differences: New for 2019!

Troops

Battleline

• Dryads: (100pts, min 10, max 30. 270pts for 30) Your rank and file angry trees. These ladies are thankfully quite versatile and so can be used for a variety of situations.
  • At first glance the ladies don't look like much, having only a 5+ Save and 2 attacks at 4+/4+/-/1. But they quickly become incredible as in units of 10+ they gain +1 Save, they hit on 3+ in your combat phase and they also have 2" range on their attacks, letting them fight in thick, two-row hedges. They also profit from being near a wood (-1 to hits against them), this is in addition to +1 save for being in cover. They are also very fast at 7". Keep them in big units as the Save-bonus and the 2" range heavily reward you for doing so.
  • You can abuse their buffed save rolls by adding a unit of Sisters of the Thorn so you can reroll failed saves (which also deals a mortal on 6), so a large unit in a wood now has 3+ with reroll. For chaff, that's pretty damn good. However, those Sisters are going to cost you a fair bit in return.
  • Remember to bring at least an additional 20 of these for the Branchwraith to summon. Unless you plan on playing super defensive, you won't need more than 30 spare.
  • 2019 Differences: Wholly within measuring is quite a nerf as you can no longer daisy chain across the board. However, the large unit bonus is now 10 instead of 12. With all the other changes going on, pure Dryad spamming is probably no longer our strongest build.

• Tree-Revenants: (80pts, min 5, max 30. 420pts for 30) Troops for tricksy players - not your mainline infantry.
  • At first glance look disappointing, with basically the same stat-wheel as Dryads but lower Move. Now here's where it gets good....
  • They have Rend in melee, unlike the Drayds.
  • They have the coolest rerolls in the game, getting to reroll 1 dice per phase. So this seems wonky in melee, doesn't it? Well, it also allows them to reroll the dice to run, one of the charge dice, the Battleshock dice... you get the picture.
  • The standards allow them to pile in 6" which lets them get more attacks in.
  • Most importantly, the musician allows them to use a better Spirit Paths rule, letting you take them off the table and then place them anywhere on the table more than 9" from enemy units.
  • Leader either gets an additional attack or +1 damage. Additional attack has the better math, plus you can combine the dice rolls to speed things up.
  • Do not use these guys as as you would Dryads. They aren't particularly killy, they will die quickly if attacked first and their kit is way too expensive to use lots of them. They are for board control:
    • Charge blockers. Save until you opponent gets ready to charge very killy unit they want to get into combat asap, then teleport a wall of Revenants in front. Revenants will die instantly in the following combat, but it'll free up your more important units.
    • Back line threatening. Your opponent can no longer keep those war machines, Jezzails and Poisoned Wind Mortars unguarded. Minimum-size squads of them also have just high enough of a damage output to cut all the aforementioned units to ribbons. But, you will say, the 9" charge after teleporting is improbable. No. Since they can reroll one of the charge dice, they are more likely to make that charge than to fail it. A good rule of thumb is to use 2 units of minimum size. That way, it's very likely at least one of them will make the charge and then they will more than likely deal enough damage to neuter the war machine you attacked.
    • Objective taking. Without any Revenants, your opponent might decide to leave a captured objective unguarded. With Revenants either you can teleport and grab the objective or they'll be wise to this and need to keep a unit tied up - one big enough to survive a teleport and charge strike.
  • 2019 Differences: Teleporting is now anywhere instead of near a wood or table edge. It's a small change, but a good one.

• Spite-Revenants: (60pts, min 5, max 20. 200pts for 20) Less tricksy, more creepy Tree-Revenants.
  • No rend and single damage, but 3 attacks at +3/+3 each!
  • They also exist to muck around with enemy Bravery. They flat reduce the Bravery of enemies around them, which combos well with Drycha's unique spell. Plus they force them to reroll passed battleshock tests.
  • 1" range means it'll be tricky getting a unit of 20 fully into combat.
  • Your glass cannon battleline: Hits hard, dies quickly. Use Dryads for staying power.
  • 200 points for 20 of these is the same as Dryads! Against hordes these guys might be the superior option. Sadly, it'll hurt your wallet a lot more - £90 for 20 vs £31.25 for the same in Dryads (add in your own local currency multiplier).
  • The bravery shenanigans are useless against Death, but they will be taking lots of horde chaff, so are probably still worth taking.
  • 2019 Differences: 10 points drop, the scenery rule is switched for the rerolling battleshock, and attacks are up from +4/+4 to +3/+3, that's a huge boost! Finally these are a valid battleline option. GW must really want people to start playing these guys.

Others

• Kurnoth Hunters With Kurnoth Greatswords: (200pts, min 3, max 12) The ultimate wooden killing machine.
  • Incredible. Each of these guys is basically a minor Hero at 5 Wounds and a 4+ Save.
  • The sword tosses out 4 attacks at -1 Rend and damage 2. And deals an additional mortal wounds on wound rolls of 6.
  • When melee attacking, if they don't need to move (other than 1" pile in), they can gain the ability to reroll saves.
  • At the end of combat you deal mortal wounds on a 4+ for each model in your unit
  • They also channel Command Abilities. When you use a Command ability, any unit wholly within 12" of a Kunroth is also counted as being in range of the casting hero.
  • GW has nerfed and then partially unnerfed the points for these over the years. Hopefully they'll be staying at a perfectly respectable and reasonable 200 points from now on.
  • Consider pretending you're playing 40K and magnetise the arms for different weapon loadouts below. If you fix the weapons on one unit then you'll have enough shoulder pads spare to better magnetise a second unit. The Quiverbugs are trickier to magnetise. Sadly there are no official rules for using plasma cannons.
  • 2019 Differences: Other than the warscroll split, failed saves confusion has been fixed, some range changes, improvement to the end of combat damage. Plus swords get an extra mortal. Even stronger than before. With the mortal wounds buff, better than scythes against everything, though with 1" less range.

• Kurnoth Hunters With Kurnoth Scythes: (200pts, min 3, max 12)
  • Same as above, but with longer weapon range of the scythes, which tosses out 3 attacks at Rend -2 and damage D3. The scythes do more damage against 2+ saves, break even against 3+ and the swords win against everything else. But that's before taking into account the mortal wounds on 6 the Swords deal out (which the scythes don't get).
  • In general the swords are your better option (especially given how rare 2+ and even 3+ saves are in AoS).
  • However, the scythes have 2" reach. You'll want this for units of 6 or more to get them all into combat or if you want to place a screen of Dryads (preferably on the edge of a woods) or Revenants in front and attack through them. Tricksier players will go for the scythes.
  • 2019 Differences: Same as the swords variant, except for no new additional weapon damage.

• Kurnoth Hunters With Kurnoth Greatbows: (200pts, min 3, max 12)
  • Same as above, but now with ranged weapons.
  • A stunning 30" range, two shots per model and D3 damage per shot, these guys are basically artillery.
  • You also get the adorable Quiverbug who does the melee fighting for them, being very non-threatening, but remember, these guys are tough as nails and you can shoot into melee. Does a lot less damage overall than melee weapons, and you can only shoot during your turn (unlike melee, effectively halving the potential damage done per game), but that range means you won't be getting attacked back.
  • Take into account our woods block line of sight (so no camping in woods) and Look Out Sir means you should probably avoid sniping guarded heroes.
  • Bows were the best option in original AOS, no longer so essential in AOS2.
  • 2019 Differences: Same as the swords variant, except for no new additional weapon damage.

• Ylthari’s Guardians: (Free with Ylthari) Shadespire Tree Revenants without the good stuff.
  • Can only be taken along with Ylthari.
  • Tree Revenants without a musician or banner, so you loose the pile in and teleport abilities.
  • In return you get three different weapon profiles (sword, glaive, bow), which are upgrades on the Tree Revenants.
  • Plus on a D6 3+ you get to attack first, which is going to make them a lot less fragile than standard Tree Revenants.
  • You also loose the Tree Revs reroll any dice per phase, but you can reroll wounds of 1.
  • Labelled TREE REVENANTS, but Ylthari isn't. As written means you can include them in Tree Revenant battalion requirements, even though you still have to bring along Ylthari who wouldn't then be in the battalion. Needs an FAQ to confirm.
  • Rules as Written their Martial Memories ability will cause themselves and ANY other Tree-Revenant unit within 3" of enemy units to fight first, on a 3+, in the combat phase. This needs playtesting to see if it's worth the points, but in theory it sounds almost too good to be true. You'd bring Ylthari's Guardians to turn your decent Tree-Revenants into better than Dryad melee blenders.
  • 2019 Differences: New for 2019!

Behemoths

• Sylvaneth Treelord: (200pts) The Walking Tree.
  • DISTRACTION CARNIFEX with appropriate stats to match.
  • At the start of combat he can stomp and on a 4+ cause one enemy unit to fight at the end of combat.
  • You get a single attack at rend -2, and on a 6 it goes from 1 damage to D6.
  • Instead of moving, if close to a wood, he can teleport to another wood, more than 9" from enemies, instead of moving. This is in addition to the single unit that can do the same using the allegiance ability. Deep Strike!
  • And they can also shoot, which is decent, not much worse than a unit of Bow Kurnoths.
  • It should be remembered that these guys class as monsters and carry all the baggage that comes with that (You know declining stats, Large model, everyone wants to shoot it. that sort of thing), its still a pretty kickass unit.
  • Everything this guy can do, Durthu and the Ancient can do, and more. But you're paying appropriately for them.
  • Over the year this guy has seen as much battlefield usage as the Spite Revs, but now they are as cheap as a unit of Kurnoths. While the Kurnoths are arguably better in a casual play scenario, you might get more out of these with the stomp and wood teleporting.
  • 2019 Differences: Stomp has improved from just causing -1 to hits, impale has been nerfed and simplified. And down from 240 points!

Scenery

• Awakened Wyldwood: Trees everywhere.
  • New models!
  • An Awakened Wyldwood consists of 3-6 citadel woods arranged to form a circle. Everything inside is treated as woods.
  • A Citadel wood is a single tree with a bit of base. They come in packs of three, which when formed into a circle are roughly the same size as the old dinner plate model.
  • During the release hype it was "confirmed" that you could still use the old models. We need an FAQ to be sure, but you're probably safe building an Awakened Wyldwood from 1-2 old models. Whether that creates a disadvantage in wood placement has yet to be seen. Thankfully old Sylvaneth players have already confirmed they don't like money when they went out and bought a dozen of the old woods at ridiculous prices, so there's no real problem in replacing them. Sadly they are a little more toxic than real wood when you burn them.
  • Line of sight blockers, so no camping your shooters in woods.
  • If a wizard casts a spell near a wood, then on a 5+ all nearby non-Sylvaneth get D3 mortals.
  • At the end of the charge phase, on a 6 all nearby non-Sylvaneth get D3 mortals.
  • Remember those damages hurt your allies and your ally in doubles games.
  • All Treelords and one other unit per turn can teleport between two of these instead of moving.
  • Branchwraiths, Branchwyches, Dryads and Durthu all gain bonuses for being near a wood.
  • As per the allegiance ability, you can place one of these at the start of the game. The Acorn artefact and the Treelord Ancient can both unconditionally place one wood per game. The verdant blessing spell (6+) is known by all our wizards and can place a new wood per turn if successfully cast. Alarielle can set up a new wood after killing a unit with her spell (if there is room).
  • Your first wood needs to be more than 6" from an objective, but none of the other wood placements have that restriction.
  • Your opponent is going to want to place lots of scenery during setup and then spread out during the first turn in order to block our wood placements. A situation made worse by the increase in faction specific scenery. You could quite easily end up only get out the start wood and one more during an entire game. Getting first turn can help mitigate this.
  • The new models will mean an end to tree-less bases, and they'll fit in your army storage box. However, it's yet to be seen how many of these you're going to need to bring along per game and whether they are as crucial as they were in previous additions. You could end up bringing along 8 packs of these, which still ends up being a significant upfront cost for the army and it's still a lot of extra plastic you're carting around between games.
  • Needs an FAQ to confirm you can use the models to surround another piece of scenery. Is so, then that could be game changing. Encircling an objective, your place of power, or your enemies faction specific scenery would be hilarious. The Warscroll states the entire inside of the ring of woods is counted as part of the Awakened Wyldwood, which then wouldn't be able to be placed within 1" of anything, so this would not work
  • 2019 Differences: New models! No longer auto kills small guys after charge/runs, instead doing damage by just being close. Max footprint of a wood has shrunk by a third.

Battalions

Forest Folk

A Branchwraith and three units of Dryads 140pts (520pts min -> 1,030pts max)

Units can retreat and then still charge that turn.

2019 Differences: Sadly this replaces the old ability that lets you take the entire Battalion off the table and then redeploy them close to your Wyldwoods.

Free Spirits

A Spirit of Durthu and three units of Kurnoth Hunters 140pts (1,080pts min -> 2,880pts max)

Always rolls a 6 for a run.

2019 Differences: Much simpler than the old ability where you move twice but has to be closer to some scenery

Household

A vanilla Treelord, a Branchwych and a unit of Tree-Revenants 100pts (460pts min -> 800pts max)

Units locked in combat with the Household cannot retreat.

2019 Differences: The old version also had +1 Bravery, but that's gone now.

Lords of the Clan

Two to four Treelord Ancients and one to three normal Treelords 60pts (860pts min -> 1,860pts max)

For every enemy within 6" of 2+ Treelords, roll a dice, on a 2+ they get D3 mortals.

Now only 60 points (down from 100!). Maybe now someone will play this.

2019 Differences: Old ability was only for one name Treelord, was a wider range, but less reliable.

Outcasts

Three units of Spite-Revenants 100pts (280pts min -> 700pts max)

Any enemy unit that fails battleshock within (not wholly within!) 3" looses an additional D3 models. Remember that Spites lower enemy bravery too.

2019 Differences: This used to be a damage pulse based on enemy bravery.

Wargrove

One Lords of the Clan, three Households, three Forest Folks, one Free Spirits and one Outcasts. 80pts (5,240pts min -> 11,010pts max)

Our only remaining super battalion. Allows you to place two Wyldwoods at the start of the game instead of one. Still, way too big to use unless you're playing 5000 point games.

2019 Differences: Unchanged from the old battletome.

Army Building

1000 pts

Two SC boxes and a box of Revenants get you a solid core. Convert one of the useless Branchwyches into a Branchwraith by stealing her scythe and pet. You will want more Dryads if you do this so the Wraith actually gets to do her job.

• Grove: Winterleaf
• Treelord Ancient (General, Grove artefact, Regrowth)
• Branchwraith (Throne of Vines)
• 30 Dryads
• 5 Tree-Revenants
• Treelord
• Chronomatic Cogs

Total: 990 pts

You can also replace the Treelord with a unit of Kurnoth Hunters (give them the Greatswords).

To upgrade from that, get a bag of newly-undercosted Spite Revenants and a guaranteed second Wood:

• Grove: Winterleaf or Dreadwood
• Treelord Ancient (General, Grove artefact, Regrowth)
• Drycha Hamadreth (Deadly Harvest or The Dwellers Below)
• Branchwraith (Throne of Vines)
• 20 Spite-Revenants
• 5 Tree-Revenants
• Soulsnare Shackles

Total: 1000 pts

Alternatively, you can be a dick and bring a god to the table:

• Grove: Winterleaf or Dreadwood
• Alarielle (Regrowth)
• Branchwraith (General, Grove artefact, Throne of Vines)
• 20 Spite-Revenants
• 5 Spite-Revenants

Total: 1000 pts

Can cut most of the Spite-Revenants for... something? Allied 3 Ishlaen guard? A Knight-Incantor? Open for suggestions, but if you do that, consider going groveless.

2000 pts

Behemoth Spam

With the cost reductions to Durthu and Treelords, you can easily fit 5 Behemoths into an army for a Monster Mash. While they're not Keepers of Secrets or Bloodthirsters, there might be something to this.

• Grove: Harvestboon or groveless
• Battalion: Outcasts
• Alarielle
• Spirit of Durthu (General, Glamourweave or your favourite realm artefact)
• Treelord Ancient (Harvestboon artefact if needed)
• Branchwraith (Spiritsong Stave if groveless, Throne of Vines)
• 5 Spite-Revenants
• 5 Spite-Revenants
• 5 Spite-Revenants
• Treelord
• Chronomatic Cogs
• Gladewyrm

Total: 1990 pts

Dryad-based List

If you played Sylvaneth before the recent nerfs changes, chances are you have a forest fair number of Dryads. Their Battalion synergizes pretty well with one of the better Groves, Harvestboon, letting you retreat from combat and charge right back in with the rerolls.

• Grove: Harvestboon or Winterleaf
• Battalion: Forest Folk
• Spirit of Durthu (General, Glamourweave)
• Treelord Ancient (Grove artefact)
• Branchwraith (Throne of Vines)
• 30 Dryads
• 30 Dryads
• 10 Dryads
• 6 Kurnoth Hunters (Greatswords)
• Chronomatic Cogs
• Malevolent Maelstrom

Total: 1990 pts

Can also run under Winterleaf, exchanging the 4 decent perks of Harvestboon for the Winterleaf artefact and exploding 6s.

The Kurnoths can be ran as a unit of 6, benefitting more from the Winterleaf artefact (and potentially realm buffs), in exchange for more Battleshock vulnerability, 1 less attack overall and fewer Trample mortal wounds.

Spite-Revenant Buffs

A max size unit of Spite-Revenants costs 200 points. As much as 20 Dryads (though still less efficient per wound than blocks of 30). Outcasts is also really cheap. Winterleaf gives the spooky trees exploding 6s now, too, and they have a LOT of attacks. The Spite Grove, Dreadwood, gives more mobility in exchange for less killing power.

• Grove: Winterleaf or Dreadwood
• Battalion: Outcasts
• Treelord Ancient (General, Grove artefact, Regrowth)
• Spirit of Durthu (Glamourweave)
• Branchwraith (Throne of Vines)
• Branchwraith (The Dwellers Below)
• 20 Spite-Revenants
• 20 Spite-Revenants
• 20 Spite-Revenants
• Chronomatic Cogs
• Malevolent Maelstrom

Total: 1590 pts, leaving you with a few options for a little extra punch, be it 2 Treelords, 6 Kurnoths (give them the Greatswords), 10 Evocators or even 6 Morrsarr Eels and the new bridge Endless Spell to make up for our trees' nerfs.

This will cost you about as much as a real forest, with the Spite-Revenants coming in boxes of 5 and Looncurse already gone from everywhere but Eastern Europe.

Tactics

Not Your Father's Forests

Sylvaneth has changed. Get used to it, it's 2019 baby. Sylvaneth was previously very restricted if you wanted to play competitively (pick one of 4 Wargroves to get one drop, 2+ branchwraiths, Acorn, Verdant blessing, lots of Dryads), many units hardly ever saw play. The new battletome attempts to fix this by evening out units and giving lots more choices, and simplifying others. The loss of easy to build one drop armies may seem like a nerf, but we now have an additional 230ish points to spend elsewhere, AOS is moving away from a place where first turn has the advantage and no one likes playing against overly defensive turtles. Before you start burning your trees, take a deep breath, and start looking for those synergies and combos afresh.

Deep Strike

What options do we have for this? Take multiple Treelords, multiple Tree Revs and one other unit. Is there anything we can do to improve the chance of finding enough space to place them? Why not just deploy off board? What about getting them into combat after that? Is this less about deep striking and more about mobility / objective grabbing?

Allied Armies

The problem with allies, is that they not get the SYLVANETH-Keyword. Our Forests can and will turn on our allies if they get too close. This massively reduces their mobility, weakens our board control and potentially makes us loose our models without the enemy having to do anything.

• Stormcast Eternals: You don't particularly need stormcast. Their play style is too different from traditional Sylvaneth play and overall they don't synergies too well. Perhaps with the upcoming Stormcast Sacrosanct chamber, something might be available to use well with Sylvaneth, but as of now don't bother. Stormcasts are just too slow to keep up with us and can't make up for this with Deep Strikes. Prosecutors might be a better option than the infantry on foot, but the would-be woefully under supported, due to the lack of Stormcast Heroes. Additionally, they have worse shooting than our (costlier) options and again, do not benefit from Stormcast specific abilities or commands.

• Wanderers: Okayish, and fluffy which is important, however as previously mentioned above, you only have 200/400pts to spare, which simply isn't enough to gain any meaningful army support from the Wanderers. Also, Wanderers suffer from much the same problems as Stormcast. Everything they can do, we can do better, with everything they need, we can't provide. 200-400 points are not all that much and spending these on a Unit of Glade Guard and a Hero gives us, again, worse shooting and we can only heal and not revive Models. This basically means that the many single-wound models are nearly worthless fodder. Sisters of any variation are simply too expensive to be a viable choice for us and don't benefit us. Wasted points, that we could use better for Hunters.

• Idoneth Deepkin: The fish guys have lots of cross-unit synergies, which are of no use here. Consider the Akhelian Guards (Ishlaen and Morrsarr). Compared to the Kurnoths, they are faster at 14' and can fly (but can't use wyldwood teleporting and need to stay way from them too), they pack more punch (but are much more fragile) and they are cheaper too.
  • Alternately, consider running a Deepkin army with the "Alliance of Wood and Sea" Battalion, giving you all the benefits of the Deepkin tides at the cost of having no forests (for better and worse).

• Dispossessed: (Only if general is IRONBARK)

• Fyreslayers: (Only if general is IRONBARK)

Buying Guide

Sylvaneth is mixed in terms of unit price values. Some can be cheap, others horrendously expensive, but that's GW. A cliché recommendation would be the start collecting box. Sadly the Branchwych is of less use than she used to be.

Note that due to models coming from WFB, a box of Dryads has 16 models, so to get full use of them, you'll want two boxes giving you 3 dryad units plus 2 spare. Make these up as 3 Dryad Nymphs and 29 normal Dryads to give you full WYSIWYG flexibility of unit sizes. 5 boxes gets you a full usage with 80, which is probably enough unless you go full Dryad spam.
