Games Workshop Age Of Sigmar Sylvaneth: Gossamid Archers

Product Information

Tree-power: A Kurnoth Huntmaster with Scythe, 1 Kurnoth Hunters with Greatbow, 2 Kurnoth Hunters with Greatsword and 1 Kurnoth Hunter with Scythe The Sylvaneth are the forest spirits created from soulpods by Alarielle, Queen of the Radiant Wood, in the Age of Myth. So whatTheir bows do a flat 2 damage now instead of d3. While it averages out to the same, consistency is key and knowing you’ll do a bunch of damage 2 shots tends to be be easier to estimate over utterly random damage rolls. Small warbands called Forest Stalkers are sent to the Eighpoints by the Everqueen herself to exact revenge against those Chaos worshippers that indulged in Ghyran or to retrieve precious artifacts or lamentiri, the essence of forest spirits. The Quad can also be used defensively to give more survivability. In that case you want your leader to be as close as possible to where the action is, discouraging the use of the ranged leaders like the Kurnoth Huntsman with Greatbow or the Flitwing Scion, but also those weaker in defence like the Scions.

The recent Sylvaneth release added several new units to the woodland warriors, including bug-mounted Spiterider Lancers and the terrifyingly tentacled Lady of Vines . Veteran Sylvaneth commander – and expert painter – Andy Wardle grabbed all these new additions for his army, and wanted to show them off to the world.The name Sylvaneth, in reality corresponds to many different creatures, that are grouped together in armies called wargroves. Massive champions, Treelords and Treelord Ancients, lead the Noble Spirits, the more martial of the Sylvaneth of which the Tree-Revenants form the standing army.

Need a brown that’s got the tan punch of Snakebite Leather but is stronger like Cygor Brown? Garaghak’s Sewer is your weapon of choice. The box contains a solid assortment of minis for both sides, though it has been pointed out and fairly so that the Sylvaneth side wins out here. Its more elite, has far more points, and gets 2 new units (One character and a unit of 5) as opposed to the Skaven’s one character. The box is still a solid foundation for new Skaven players, with the Stormvermin and Clan Rats you need, along with a Gray Seer and the new Deathmaster to start building up your leader. Skaven Clanrats In June, we invited Warhammer TV painting presenter Emma Robinson to talk about her favourite colours and some inspired uses for them. Today we’ve got her co-host, Lizzie Ward, to talk about her 10 favourite paints from the new range and how she has been using them.The Huntmasters are the leaders of this warband and they have 4 wounds more (32 instead of 28), same movement (4”) and Toughness (4). That’s it for the new units in Echoes of Doom. But expect even more from the Sylvaneth when that new Battletome drops. Finally, the Spite-Revenants are part of the Outcasts, a darker reflection of their kin, unable to hear the spirit-song, the way to communicate used by the Sylvaneth, unless when it is a call for war. Sitting next to Volupus Pink, but even richer, this colour comes close to the intensity of Screamer Pink, but with the unique flow of contrast.

On the paler end of the scale for blues and greens, the less saturated Briar Queen Chill finds itself sitting alongside Aethermatic Blue. Don’t forget to tune into our special Hang Out and Hobby sessions running ahead of the #WarhammerPaintathon, where our hosts will be on hand to show you just how these new colours work.

What Are Our Final Thoughts On Warhammer Echoes of Doom?

The Revenant Seeker and the Spiterider Lancer are expensive units, similar in cost to Kurnoth Hunters so you may not be able to afford both, but offer two different perspectives: on one side sheer power but slower, on the other less damage but more speed. Of the flying units, we personally prefer the Revenant because they really benefit from the Quad Envoy of the Everqueen that can give them the extra Strength required to hit more consistently. A supercharged alternative to Warp Lightning, Karandras Green is one of the most intense Contrast paints in the whole range. Lizzie: What a name! Perfect on Daemonettes and other Daemons of Slaanesh – you can apply this over a light skin tone to create gaunt and sunken flesh. It’s also fun to use over metallics to create a really unique tone. Thanks to Andy for sharing this stunning collection! If you’ve been inspired to paint your own arboreal army, you can get both the Gossamid Archers and the Lady of Vines – alongside a trio of Kurnoth Hunters and a mighty Treelord – in the Echoes of Doom battlebox.
