Battle Formation

Although all of the Sylvaneth battle formations are within the ideal 45-55% win rate range, we’re seeing most players taking either Outcasts (subtract 3 from the enemy control score while in combat with friendly Sylvaneth units) or Lords of the Clan (Allows Sylvaneth Monsters a more consistent Heal ability while using their Endless Growth ability).

Artefacts

We’re seeing almost every player use Seed of Rebirth in their lists over every other option. This allows the player to roll a dice for the bearer when it is destroyed, on a 3+ it survives and has Heal (1).

Heroic Traits

While the bearer is in range of an Awakened Wyldwood, Spellsinger will allow them to add 1 to their casting rolls if they are a Wizard. Or, if they’re not a Wizard they become a Wizard (1).

Manifestations

For once, we see Morbid Conjuration take 2nd place in the picks.

Warscrolls

Belthanos, Alarielle, Gossamid Archers, Kurnoth Hunters with Greatbows or Scythes and the Spirit of Durthu see regular play in Sylvaneth lists. But overall warscroll selection is pretty balanced.

Performance v Other Factions

Sylvaneth appear to run really well into some factions such as the Cities of Sigmar and Seraphon with around a 70% win rate against them.

Against the two most popular of Stormcast and Slaves it’s a much more even fight with the battle able to go in either direction.

Close

As always, you’ll probably (and quite rightly) disagree with me on a lot of these points. Why not let us know I’m the comments below what you think to the Sylvaneth.
