Sylvaneth is my only army and I feel really disappointed. I feel like moving back to 9” bubbles would have at least given us a bit more strength, as well as being able to cast trees on the objective, since that would at least open up some very tactical use of trees as stopping points. Instead, it feels like we’re deeply tied to trees, and will be reliant on the opponent destroying our trees in order for us to move and use our full healing ability. I can actually envision scenarios where I’m attacking my own trees in order to be able to plant new ones. Also, the fact dryads don’t get their abilities near Lady of the Vines means I have no idea when I would actually use them now. Honestly, with no auto-tree abilities, this is a really unreliable army and it seems like we are just super conditional in a way that feels weak compared to other armies. Taking away treelord teleports also really stripped our mobility and I think our ability to use trees to deepstrike as well. Besides trying to sell us more Gossamids, I’m not sure what they actually did for us. Kurnoth having 4+ armor saves and still costing 200+ points is really rough when you compare them to Spiteriders. I’m just not sure how we’re supposed to get this army into combat without Belthanos, and idk how we’re supposed to get it to survive without Lady of the Vines casts or Tree casts. Well, I guess we just gotta play those tournaments, show off our dismal win rates and go from there.

Sylvaneth is not my original main faction, but it is def one of my favorites and I have quite a collection. Personally I read the rules and thought they looked fine. The entire powerscale of 4th edition seems to be lower than 3rd (every faction is "Weaker") and I feel like the wyldwoods aren't as much of a problem as people make them out to be. 3 wyldwoods is enough to cap 3 objectives very well. If you place them at the 3" distance mark, the objective is well within the reach of most abilities (6") that use wyldwoods. I think having permanent defenses at 3 objectives at no unit cost, with the ability to Teleport between them is pretty dope! Of course, it remains to be seen how easy this actually is. But I definitely prefer to stay positive untill I get to try it! I find that going in with the idea that its gonna be fun, will make it easier to enjoy your army. If you go in with the idea "This is gonna suck" you are more likely to focuss on the negatives and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Thanks as always for the coverage, been looking forward to Sylvaneth. Keeping my hopes up since I love the faction. I was considering running the Arch-Revenant to buff up some scythe Kurnoths, and at a glance Spellsinger looks great for them so you can get more value from your points without having to put a hero that squishy into combat. Could potentially use it to cast manifestations deeper on the field while your other wizards handle summoning trees, although there's definitely an argument here that it's throwing good money after bad. The big thing I'm worried about is wanting 4-5 heroes and suffering on drops as a result, but that's probably a me problem

I think they will be fine. The damage output across the game has been nerfed. They lost a bit of the “you don’t get to hit me at all” for a lot more resilience with the healing. Remember, healing sucks when the damage is really high across the board, but that’s not the case now. Now you just avoid/alpha the rarer super hammer units, and heal through the much lower damage average units.

Works for non-competitive games. Competitively, factions are going to jam in their most consistent damage dealers and Sylvaneth has nothing for that. Ward save nerfs for key pieces, on top of their already low wound count army (since they're so "elite") and poor saves (hunters didn't need a save nerf without a price reduction) means you're gonna have a bad time competitively... But I mean, that was the story for Sylvaneth in 3.0 too, 2nd from the bottom... Can it get worse?... Feels like it.

Wow. I haven't looked at any other faction yet but I feel laughed at. Especially the Warsong Revenant seems being clowned on. Basically forcing him more into the front and worsening his Ward and movement at the same time. Taking away his cast roll bonus and cutting the damage potential of Swarm of Spites in half (guessed, not calculated). Not to mention that you'll need about twice as much Wyldwood as you needed before to do anything.

I feel like with the syls book you have to build around the top 3 heroes.(belthanos, allierelle or lady of vines) it will create 3 very different army choices that will allow you to succeed. Syls has never been about there heroes wholesale despite what the meta keeps producing and this book is no different. Min, maxing is also a bad idea in 4th in my opinion as well so yes your most likely going to want to reinforce most of your units(yes even tree revs) i also feel like the trees arent anchor points anymore rather than extra movement pieces. Syls will be the same as k.o with most of their cp going into movement shenanigans rather than straight dmg vs saves to keep em alive. Could be wrong tho 😅

Super hyped to play sylvaneth but ngl it's looking a bit rough. There are some good units and things but not enough. It looks like they started out with a higher damage output then got pared down too much and I don't think they will be able to have the output to sustainably fight on objectives. Also alot of the tricks we had got toned down too much imo. But hey it's all good, hope the book will bring them back up a bit. Awesome video as always.

But I am not sure if this index version is it. Sylvaneth has an identity crysis of wanting to both protect their own territory/trees aswell as alpha strike the enemy or project their power outwards. Now they can effectivly do neither, if they can even get more than a single wood out at all

about your remark at 54:28 speaking for the range of the wood yeah it could be cool if only you didn't have the 3inch restriction of ennemy terrain AND objectif. You are playing against a player with a teleportation ability in Hero phase ? if he has the priority he will teleport his unit on the objectif and you will be done he just need to put 1 model to puch out all your buble of invocation for the wood and while this model will be in 6inch of the wood the unit will not be totaly within.... and if you put your terrain and charge him well yiy will not have your maximum damage output if you went to keep the 6inch for your bonus. The army is dead. 110point for 10 dryades when other army paid the same for unit a lot better. I saw a lot (really a lot ) army having spell to teleport their unit or warscroll rules. When it's our army rules with restriction and only once or twice per turn. I played three games against friends yeah alarielle is cool but she is the only model really good in the army at the moment. Idoneth/Dok or even skaven can do a lot more than us xD

The fact the range for AW damage/buffs is 3"/6" means we cannot pressure the board, least we lose our buffs etc. Additionally, Belthanos losing his 5+ ward means he cannot be the aggressor we need him to be. Kurnoths being more points that immortis gaurd and having worse save and damage output and no ward is just a slap in the face.

"+1 rend wholly within 6" of an AW"... great for Kurnoth with scythes that are standing on an objective with an AW next to them. But do you really want to park 200 or 400 pnt on an objective like that?

My only army and I loved the playstyle in 3rd, but ist is just sad. Not even weak or whatever, but more importantly all the flavor is taken out and the whole thing reads super boring, unimaginative and extremely conditional. Does not sound fun to play at all.

I dont wanna play a faction thats tied into a terrain piece. Thats no fun. Most people are into collecting and painting lil guys, not mandatory scenery. Worst thing GW ever came up with, feels like desperate efforts to sell cheaply made scenery kits with high margins.

Its all too expensove after seeing the points. So many points of failure and stipulatuons for us to just have what other factions have. By Robs estimate Durthu us 80pts too expensive and a Treelord 110 too overcosted. I have zero interest in playing my only army

Chin up, Rob. Whereas everyone else's points are going up, Sylvaneth's points go down. Endless spells may not be the best, but you still have amazing generic options. I honestly reckon a lot of the heroes are looking really good, keeping points in mind, as well as ranged units. The ability to get your ranged bois out of dodge at the end of every turn is nice for them as well. They're also not too concerned about the reduced Wyldwood ranges. I think you're gonna have a great time going first, setting up some trees onto the objectives and harassing anything that comes near them. Durthu's damage output is largely similar to what it was. The sword deals more than it used to, even without the +1 attack on the warscroll (but ignoring Greenwood Gladius) and you actually deal a larger total amount of damage vs monsters, which might just play a huge role in this "centrepiece" edition. Not to mention it no longer goes down on a damage table to practically nothing. A Spirit of Durthu with 9 damage allocated still hits just as hard as 3rd edition Durthu, minus Greenwood Gladius, where in 3rd, the damage would go down to D3, a third of its unwounded output. 11+ wounds 1 damage was absolutely sad to see in 3rd, as I spiked with 6+ save Fell Bats and he did nothing back. In 4th, he's gonna hit hard even in that scenario. And he's 10 points cheaper, whereas, again, most other heroes are more expensive. I honestly think he's buffed. What it comes down to is this: Sylvaneth may well play the entire game struggling to keep trees alive and not lose their powers, but that will be taken into account with the balance of the game. It's just their playstyle: Territorial, magical, defensive, ranged, with options for offensive units. If that doesn't seem meta or powerful, don't look into it too much. Points can change. If that doesn't seem fun, that's a shame. If it does seem fun, you're absolutely golden. Outside of tournaments, don't even worry about it too much, as well, as both players can take non-competitive lists and have the best time. I think things are looking up from their 3rd edition winrate. Have faith. Oh, and remember: They might get a battletome within half a year that fixes everything. We'll see.

Treelord is 260. I doubt it'll ever be 150 points. It's still a combat monster. Something not alot of armies have. And it can be included in regiments, so it's pretty good.

It hits on 4’s, that is absolutely abysmal. The warscroll is just a hot mess with no direction

​​@@Sassafras1777 so does every other monster. MawKrushas have been nerfed into the ground, yet are still 400+ You completely overlooked the fact that a treelord can be put into a regiment so it doesn't increase your drops. And it absolutely does have a role. It's meant to be a tree that you can't retreat from. It's like a tar pit. Big tree, makes the enemy -1 to wound, maybe has a 5+ ward, 3+ save, heals a ton so it doesn't die. It absolutely has a role.

@@markpandelidis2079 this is supposed to be a hero unit, and it can only hit on 4’s? Give me a break. Mawkrushas also get way more attacks, have more wounds, move faster, and deal more damage. The only thing this is good for is standing on a point and maybe surviving a turn or two on it. I see the point you’re trying to make, but you can’t seriously tell me that this looks like a fun unit to play. It just feels absolutely over costed and I highly doubt it will see any play. It’s a shame too, I really love the model

@@Sassafras1777 well alot of things are. But I don't think it won't see play. 260 isn't that expensive. 150 would be completely broken to be honest seeing as how TL Ancient, Alarielle and Durthu can each bring one. So you'd have 5 trees in your list for less than 1000 points. And none of them are unique so you could have an army of treelords which would be super broken if you ask me. Just saying. Maybe we disagree that's fine. I think a 220 range is probably right. Which is where they are now. I think they were fine and should have stayed where they were. But they over costed the launch. Hopefully September sees big points drops
