Product Information

As his war of reconquest rolled out across the Mortal Realms, Sigmar sent Stormcast Eternals to locate the Queen of the Radiant Wood. These envoys brought offers of a renewed alliance against the Chaos Gods and overcame many perils to find Alarielle. In doing so, the Stormcasts inadvertently led the hordes of Nurgle straight to the goddess’ hiding place. The battle that followed was brief and vicious. Stirred to war, Alarielle fought to protect Athelwyrd, but the enemy was too many and too strong. In the end, the goddess was forced to flee, escaping Athelwyrd with a ragged band of sylvaneth and Stormcast Eternals. Alarielle angrily blamed the Stormcasts for her terrible predicament, yet in being ousted from her hiding place, the goddess had realised that she still possessed the will to fight. On the heels of this revelation came crushing doubt. What if, in her misery, Alarielle had left it too late to make a stand? What if she had failed as no mother should? It was this thought that robbed the last of Alarielle’s strength and saw her transform into a soulpod. [1c] Across the Frozen Ocean [ ] A sylvaneth's body is made from bark that is suffused with Alarielle's life magic. This hardened bark is able to resist some of the damage dealt by blades, bullets, teeth, claws, and other weapons.

The Son's Quest - Alarielle despatched twelve of the Sons of Durthu into the Ulgulands. They sought a weapon of incredible power that would liberate Ghyran, but after many great battles, the last of them vanished altogether. Some say they quest still, and will one day return with their prize Winterleaf Glade: The Age of Chaos has devastated their once-beautiful lands and their outlook is full of fatalism and introspection.

Treelords buff is slightly better –Now it’s +1 to save instead of reroll 1s which statistically is slightly better. It’s another unit to slap a +1 while another gets mystic shield so it could be worse. The Arch-Revenant got a similar change with his shield The Twin-tailed Crusade forges ever onwards in Dawnbringers Book III – The Long Hunt , encountering trials at every turn. In the Scabrous Sprawl, the Ghyranite half of this military excursion has met the ravenous servants of the Gulping God .

Ghyran itself was twisted as woodlands contorted into horrible parodies of natural shapes, rivers congealed with filth, and the great cities of the Everspring Swathe were destroyed by plagues and invaders. The suffering of the land and her followers drained Alarielle's strength until she became filled with grief and haunted by sorrow. Alarielle and the monarchs of the Glades withdrew behind veils of sorcery and misdirection and changed their campaign into guerrilla warfare. But after a string of disasters, like the Battle of Tears and the Last Hunt, she broke and fled to the Hidden Vale of Athelwyrd, a land concealed from Nurgle's gaze. For all intents and purposes, the war was lost and hope itself had withered. [9c] Age of Sigmar Sylvaneth favour a humanoid aspect over other shapes. There is a great variation among their size and shape, as both spirit and body are crafted towards a definite purpose. For instance, the Branwych and Tree-Revenant subspecies of sylvaneth stand on average 5 feet 11 inches tall, while the Kurnoth Hunters tower over others of their kind at an average of 10 feet 3 inches. Dan: Read the battletome, play a game, read the tome again. Do this for 5+ games! Sylvaneth have some of the most specific and distinct rules in the game, and as such, you will need to really know your rules to get the most out of them. For example, there are at least 3 ways to bring extra woods to the table and all 3 have different restrictions, pros and cons. ‘Teleporting’ your units around can be done in a few different ways as well, each of which has different restrictions for model placement.

Play Style

Alarielle - Alarielle is the goddess of life, the mother of the sylvaneth race and the warrior regent of Ghyran. By her hand were the first soulpod seeds sown and the sylvaneth brought into being. The Queen of the Radiant Wood is also the foremost defender of the Realm of Life from the predations of Chaos. Alarielle’s sigil is the ultimate symbol of power to the sylvaneth, and it is borne by each member of the Royal Moot alongside their own. The Free Spirits also march beneath the Everqueen’s personal banner, and through their courage and might is her divine will done. 25, 26, 132 The wargroves march to battle to reclaim lands once lost, to reconnect realmroots that have been severed or eradicate outsiders, especially those of Chaos. [9f] Tactics The Bonebark March - Noble Spirits of Clans Dernoth and Laeril marched to war alongside the ranks of the undead. They crushed a horde of Beastmen at Sunderstone Peak, a major victory for Sigmar’s alliance

For the sylvaneth, the passage of time upon their physical forms seems to have little meaning, with ages ranging wildly from 2 or 3 years up to thousands of years old. At the start of the Age of Sigmar, Nurgle had claimed most of Ghyran for himself, with both his daemon and mortal armies roaming freely, searching the realm for hidden Sylvaneth enclaves that had escaped their notice. The land was rotting at the edges as more of the Garden of Nurgle's corruptions leaked into the Realm of Life. [9c]The alliance reconquered Erosia, the Glade Gathering of Thyria, and destroyed the towers of Invidia. [9e] Soul Wars The song is emotion, metaphor and harmony in one, and very few parts of it - the barest edges of this phenomenon - can be expressed vocally. This song flows through their thoughts and bodies, echoing in the roots of the lands. The more Sylvaneth are close to one another, the stronger the Spirit-Song becomes. They draw comfort and strength from this magical bond, and the greatest fear of their kind is to become a lonely voice. [9b]

The inner court of Alarielle is known as the Royal Moot and comprises the goddess, the Regents of the Glades, and some other Sylvaneth with special duties. [4b] Kurnoth Hunters also pose a real threat when charged, as they can Unleash Hell and fire at the oncoming unit – still benefiting from that re-roll. It's at these musters that the Sylvaneth are at their strongest, the song swelling in power as more Sylvaneth join the muster. When the muster is complete the song reaches a shattering crescendo the Sylvaneth are filled with soaring vitality and vengeful purpose. Treelords release deep war cries, Branchwraiths raise their voices with the melodious battlesongs and Wyldwoods start to burst spontaneously from the ground. [9f] Sylvaneth are all able to detect water even if it is far underground, which has made them powerful allies especially in the Realm of Aqshy. [10a]Laurie: Experienced Sylvaneth commanders will find that the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar is going to benefit them in a number of different ways. With changes that encourage armies to be built primarily with minimum-sized units, strong units like Kurnoth Hunters, Tree-Revenants , and Spite-Revenants will do quite well. Reinforced Dryad units still form a vital core to your army, of course, and the Awakened Wyldwood is as essential as ever.
