This game was a learning experience for the Sylvaneth player, who was trying out her army.

We used the basic scenario and setup.

Turn 1 and 2, both armies advanced. The Khorne blood bound charged into the Syvaneth and the battle took place in the open.

The Dryad player summoned 11 additional dryads. The Khorne Bloodbound forces inflicted ten wounds on Durthu and killed 13 dryads. All Khorne Bloodbound forces were slain.

Sounds like an interesting learning game, how much do you plan to scale it up to for the next?

The branchwraith does not cost extra; between it only being 2d6 dryads and them having to show up in a wyldwood it isn't nearly as powerful as conventional summoning.

That's cool that the summon spell for the branchwraith doesn't cost extra in PPC. I disagree that its not as powerful as conventional summoning, though. I think its more powerful than conventional summoning.

The Dryads only have to be 3" away from enemies, and they can move and act on the turn they are summoned. This makes dryad summoning better than conventional summoning, particularly if you have Durthu around to setup a forest where ever you like right before summoning a unit of dryads into the forest.
