Given how popular the Sylvaneth army has been, do you think we might see a spin off battletome similar to how we got for the Stormcast?

Theres a few directions they could go.

1 - Really push the Sprite or giant bug element of the army we got with Alarielle. Beetle and ant cavalry?

2 - A full Outcast army, although they're already represented in the army.

3 - Followers more directly tied to Alarielle in some way.

4 - More Tree Revenant stuff.

I would really like to see them get some form of cavalry or heavy infantry personally.

I could totally see Sylvanaelves happening.

Yes please. Having your faction split really sucks! I would love a way to play some of my Wanderers models with my Sylvaneth models without losing synergy.

There is that one winter warscroll that lets you bring a single order unit, not perfect but that is what I am doing.

A spinoff of a spinoff??



Well I am hoping for the Duardin that come with one of the Sylvaneth battalions (or so I heard). Doubt it will be the Fyreslayers because, HELLO forest fire hazard, or the steamhead using logs to power their machines. Maybe friendly dwarfs - with pointy red hats and a passion for fishing in ponds?

Sylvaneth aren't a spin off faction.

Come on guys, get your heads in the game.

You should be calling it a splinter faction.

What book is that in?

Between Grand Alliance: Order, General's Handbook, and Battletome: Sylvaneth I'm rather confused about what rules are found where XD

If you think of AoS as a continuation of the Warhammer Fantasy editions that came before it, they are a spin off of the wood elves

I see what you did there. Exalt!

Its not really the same. Really the Wanderers aren't an army any more than the Free Peoples are, they're basically a way for people to play all of their old armies.

If you read the Sylvaneth Battletome it doesn't make a single mention of the Wanderers and actually back peddles on what the Order Battletome says with regard to that faction abandoning Alarielle (which you would think to be a big deal). So, lorewise they are their own faction now.

Its like saying Stormcast are a spinoff from Empire...

Cool, I was meaning from a models and design perspective. Lots of the Sylvaneth units were in previous Wood Elves army books, so it's not really the same as the Stormcast and Empire.

But is also not really important to this discussion, so we can probably just leave it here.
