ANOTHER Age of Sigmar force... largely started because of Age of Sigmar (Fourth Edtion). So far it only really consists of a Vanguard box, a few Warhammer underworlds warbands, and a handful of Tree/Spite Revenants I got in trade!
While the Vanguard box does make up a Spearhead army, I was mostly thinking about their usefullness in Soulbound when I picked them up...
PAINTED
The Sylvaneth, so far...
Heroes
Treelord
Branchwych
Units
Kurnothi Hunters
Tree-Revenants
Spite-Revenants
Ylthari's Guardians (Warhammer Underworlds warband - Legends Unit)
Dryads - not a full unit. At some point I acquired a sprue of them (back when they were a unit in the Warhammer Fantasy Wood Elf army) and had three or four of them... These three were originally based together for Hordes of the Things. Not having a full unit makes these not so useful in Age of Sigmar - but they are lovely models, I'll love to make use of them in role-playing games and/or something like A Song of Blades and Heroes.
STILL TO DO
This is what I have still to do:
- 5x Tree-Revenants
- 5x Spite-Revenants
- 5x Skaeth’s Wild Hunt
- 3x Awakened Wyldwood
Currently the PRIORITY for painting is... all of them...? There aren't a LOT!?
THE PLAN
As with most others... the plan was first to complete the Spearhead army, then to fill it out to a 1000 point force that could be used for Paths to Glory... Not sure if I'll worry about anything beyond that.
Also there is a fun Regiments of Renown that can join DEATH faction armies - The Lost-Song Spirits! I decided it would be fun to have them show up in a Soulblight Gravelord army from time to time, so I picked up the extra Spite-Revenants I needed for that.
Spearhead Army
The Sylvaneth Bitterbark Copse Spearhead Army consists of:
General
- 1x Branchwych
Units
- 1x Treelord
- 3x Kurnoth Hunters
- 5x Tree-Revenants
The Lost-Song Spirits!
The Lost-Song Spirits are a Sylvaneth Regiment of Renown that live in Shyish (I think...?) and have become deafened to the spirit-song and hear only the mourful cries of the dead... and it's kind of driven them mad..
This Regiment of Renown can be included in an army of the Flesh-eater Courts, Ossiarch Bonereapers, Idoneth Deepkin, Soulblight Gravelords, or Nighthaunt. I thought it might be fun to have them show up in a Soulblight Gravelord army from time to time... or even with my Nighthaunts!
ORGANISATION
- 1 Treelord
- 5 Spite-Revenants
- 5 Spite-Revenants
I just need to finish the second unit of Spite-Revenants!
Paths to Glory
For a starting Paths to Glory army, I could field:
Treelord General's Regiment
- Hero - Treelord (1) 220 points - Any Sylvaneth
- Unit - Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatbows (3) 200 points - Kurnothi, Infantry
- Unit - Spite-Revenants (5) 80 points - Infantry
- Unit - Tree-Revenants (10) 200 points - Infantry
Total: 700
Branchwych's Regiment
- Hero - Branchwych (1) 120 points - Any Infantry
- Unit - Spite-Revenants (5) 80 points - Infantry
Total: 200
Army Total: 900
I could add ANOTHER unit of Tree-Revenants or Spite-Revenants and still be under of just at 1000 points!
STUFF TO GET
I didn't really feel any strong URGE to get ANYTHING else for this force....
Mostly I'm going to use the Warhammer Underworlds stuff for Warhammer Underworlds.
The Spearhead force I will use for Spearhead.
I think it would be a LOT of fun for these to show up in Soulbound - either as player characters OR encounters.
I could pick up a unit of Tree-Revenants or Spite-Revenants to fill out a 1000 point force for Paths to Glory... (If ever it were used in a campaign, I'd probably have to pick up a few more units as the force grew!)
I might like to get a second (or THIRD!?) Awakened Wildwood...? It's just terrain that could be used for anything, really... but is a handy thing for the Sylvaneth...
The Endless Spells do look cool...
None of the other units look all THAT interesting to me... if ANYTHING, I'd like some more Kurnothi (to have a unit with Great Bows and a unit with Kurnoth Great Swords) and/or another Treelord (to build as an ANCIENT Treelord or Spirit of Durthu) - The crazy thing is, it would cost only five dollars MORE to just buy a second Spearhead box, than to buy another Treelord and a box of Kurnathis separately!?
