How to Play Sylvaneth - Battle Tactics in Age of Sigmar 4th Edition

One thing to note, is that you can use an awakened wyldwood as the terrain you select for take their land. Get a deployment thats not the whole half, magical intervention the AWW to barely be in enemy territory, then call it for the terrain to control

Oh yeah, that's a great point. I was thinking the range on the AWW spell is tool limited, but you're right. It only needs to touch their territory and not be in friendly territory. Very doable.

I played a game against Slaves to Darkness and the Tree Revenants came in clutch. In my 1st turn (I went 2nd) I teleported them for "Take their land". Because he my moved up his units (Cavalry and infantry) I was able to do claim the realms is round 2. I also took his home objective for 5 points. Tl;dr both tree Revenants and Gossamid Archers are great for scoring objectives.

I thought Take Their Land might be an easy one to do turn 1, but it depends on your opponent. Glad to hear they're working for you!

The problem with Twistweald is that their ability only works for counter charge. Because if you want to use it in an enemy turn, you can do it only after oponent finished all of their charges. I think it's a bug and will be addressed in a faq (rumors says this week).

[@gammafighter]

Great point, I totally forgot about that! I'm still getting used to the turn activation for 4th edition.

Very cool damage chart! 😮 A question about it, however. On your damage chart, shouldn't the damage vs a 1+ save and 2+ save be the same, as unmodified rolls of 1 always fail? Same thing with a 5+ save vs a 6+ save for units that have 2 rend. Shouldn't that damage be the same as well, as you can't roll a save? Just wondering what the thoughts behind it are :)

[@gammafighter]

Yes, you mostly have it right against a 1+ save- as long as you're talking about a Rend 1 weapon profile. For anything that has Rend 2, a target with a 1+ armor save will save on a 3+ instead of a 2+. For a Rend 2 weapon against a 5+ and a 6+, the damage will be the same. At the time I recorded this video, I was manually updating the formulas for Rend 2 against 6+ saves, so it's possible I made a mistake. Since then, I have updated that column with a formula so that the correct value is shown.

[@Revdjames]

That stats sheet is awesome, do you have a link to one? :)

[@gammafighter]

Yes, thanks for asking! I made it available some time after this video was posted. The link is in the description of my newer videos and I've added it to this video's description as well, just now.

I have a deep personal desire to find a reason to use the Twistweald. I also can't find a role for it. It's sort of a solid datasheet for the price, but what exactly is the point of high quality chaff? But they look cool and dangit, I'm going to keep trying.

[@CustodialNinja]

Maybe if Drycha gets a big points cut and Spite Revenants get a buff, there could be some play in the Forest Folk formation. I dunno. Maybe that's just cope.

[@gammafighter]

I'm still working on a video showcasing some sample lists that I whipped up. I don't think it's great, but I have some ideas for Twistweald!
