Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with something I do not quite understand. According to the matched play rules in the generals handbook in order to claim an allegiance all models in the army need to share the common keyword that is being claimed.

In the sylvaneth battletome multiple wargrove warscroll battalions have the option to add non sylvaneth units to the battalion. Does this invalidate their sylvaneth allegiance?

If true than it conflicts with the requirements for mighty wyldwood, which you gain for taking the maximum number of battalions in the sylvaneth warscroll battalions that allow taking non sylvaneth models, as you would have to take them and thus lose your sylvaneth allegiance.

Is that written anywhere?

Ghaz, Sylvaneth battalions do not have keywords at the bottom like normal warscrolls, it just says sylvaneth (insert warscroll battalion name on the next line)

But it is a sylvaneth warscroll battalion with models missing the sylvaneth keyword, which means RAW in the generals handbook it cannot claim sylvaneth allegiance.

Haechi, there is no such designation as battalion allegiance RAW at the moment.

Also that the battalions in question lack actual keywords as presented on models that do have keywords and the sylvaneth faction is just used in the title.

The problem with that answer is the battalion does not determine allegiance for the army, the models within do. Hopefully the FAQ clears it up.
