A Banelord tail for Adeptus Titanicus...

Good call there!

I mean, sure, I *want* it to be that, but I still think it is a good guess!

I think Nagash is the closest reference we got. What it actually is is anyone's guess tho.

Nagash’s ex-girlfriend

Daemon Prince Settra

Something slanesh or chaos I recon seeing as thats what they are currently releasing.

Well, yeah, but that’s basically the same style as Nagash, and Nagash’s look closer to the rumour engine, in that there’s multiple and it has shorter bone nubs than the Mortarch mount does.

close up on old rumor engine

Called it yesterday. The winged rumor engine is solved

so is it just me or are GW really pushing out a lot of battleboxes these days?

the more the merrier imho

Yeah, its an interesting approach. Not sure if I'm sold on the 'one new hero each' approach, but this is a lot more interesting than the last one. At least its more recent models, though I'm not sure why they describe gloomspite vs sylvaneth as 'inevitable.'

Still, the best one so far was Wrath and Rapture (with a bit more new stuff than two heroes).
At least the squigs are new enough to be attractive in their own right.

Do we know the Looncurse pricing (in USD) yet?

Honestly, for anyone who is interested in Sylvaneth?
That box is going to be amazing if you can find someone to split it with.

10x Tree/Spite Revenants @ $37USD per 5($74)
3x Kurnoth Hunters @ $58USD
Arch Revenant(50mm base from the looks of things); guessing at $35-$40.

That's $167 to $172 retail...assuming a $175 pricetag like Shadowspear, locally that comes out to $187.69 with tax for the whole box and $93.84 for halvsies.
And seeing as how Tree-Revenants and Kurnoth Hunters are two of the more expensive parts of the Sylvaneth army...it makes them a hell of a lot more appealing to me!

I actually want the sylvaneth half for my wife and will have zero issue getting ahold of it. If anyone wants the grot half, including special character at NO markup price when it comes out, let me know. I will be getting it at retail price though. Just being up front about it. And shipping would of course, be up to the buyer. Still, should be cheaper than a full split up.

I don't think so.

If it follows Wrath and Rapture/Carrion Empire?
$160.
If it follows Shadowspear?
$175.

An endless spell, maybe?

Are those all things worth including in the army? (New unknown character aside)
Like, are those "must haves" for a Sylvanneth army? (Either way, they would be for me, since I don't care for the older dryads XD)

Kurnoth Hunters let you measure to the Kurnoth Hunter instead of the character doing a Command Ability, which is pretty damn nice.
Their weapon options are nothing to sneeze at either.

Tree-Revenants are nice, I think most people get some good use out of them?

Dryads are a "musthave" for summoning purposes...but they're so stupid easy to get when you want some Treelords that it isn't a big deal!

So thats another one/two solved

Seeing that the wings aren't part of the main figure and are instead a Beetlesprite Jetpack (TM) makes me like this model much less than I did.

Yeah, I have mixed feelings on it. Still a cool model, but now it has a bug jetpack to go with the revenant tree cyborg body.

You're all nuts, bug jetpacks for life!

The wings being separate makes for good conversion potential for some Eldar exodites, as does the head. It's a very nice model to tear apart though.

Nuts/People of Culture = Potato/Potarto

The Sylvaneth range in general does encompass much of what I dislike about the high fantasy elements of AoS and this is very much representative of that.

As opposed to something like the Idoneth which, to me, are excellent.

Really? I'm not big on the high fantasy style of AOS, but besides the weird quiver bugs with trees fused to them, I find the sylvaneth to be more Warhammer-y than other AoS stuff. The Ironjawz are the most Warhammer-y new army, but I feel like Idoneth are a tad too high fantasy for me. Too many fish floating around, the odd blind reavers, and the whole soul stealing theme doesn't appeal to me. They have some great models, and I'd love to convert them up, but change the fluff so they're not undersea dwellers.Some Sylvaneth stuff does look like ghosts in wooden mechsuits (Drycha), but that's not a deal breaker for me. (The bug jetpack, however, does make the model less appealing, but still a cool model.)

I am firmly in favour of the bug backpack. The moon faced spider has to be my favourite part of these kits though.

Something other than Stormcasts or Space Marines on one half of the battle box?

What kind of heresy is this?

Yes really though it's obviously massively subjective and, in this instance, probably, for me, more down to the execution rather than the success of the initial concept. I'd never argue that Idoneth aren't very much in the High Fantasy bracket and I'd probably err on assembling them with less random fish but I don't see them as particularly being any more esoteric than Sylvaneth based purely on the models. I'd put the latter much higher in the ranking of "high fantasiness" than most other factions bar Stormcast, Kharadrons, Idoneth Like you say; Wooden Mechsuits, personally they do absolutely ruin them for me. The Treekin are fine, if a bit too dynamically posed for my taste and Dryads/Treemen are pre-AoS kits anyway (and rather good ones).

Is your time machine stuck in 2017? What is Wrath & Rapture, Forgebane, Carrion Empire, etc?
