Are there any AoS factions that are the equivalent of Raven Guard in terms of nature?

Not anymore, no. Wanderers were the closest with a hit and fade mentality.
Next closest are the Shadowblades, which consists of 3 units:
Dark Riders(cavalry with crossbows/spears)
Shadow Warriors(skirmishers with bows+swords)
Assassins(hero choice that can't be your general but can pop out of Cities of Sigmar units).

The Living City army from the Cities of Sigmar book is very much a guerrilla warfare army.

The Darkwalker Great Fray from Beast of Chaos are about sneaking around and striking from the shadows.

-Vanguard Stormcast are like Sopace marines with mechanical crossbows instead of boltguns. They are the scouts and the explorers of the stormcast.
-Shadowblades are an elite force of guerrilla and assassination, but more focused in the hit and run tactics.
-Beastman are hordes of infantry emerging from everywhere in coordinated ambushes, but they lack the discipline of the "space marines".
-Wanderers were a guerrilla army too, based in the wood elves of the world that was, but they are not so shadowy as the Dark elves are. And they do not send assassins.
-Skaven Eshin clan, probably the best elite assassins in the Chaos armies, they use to be like ninjas in the old world.

Waywatchers were assassins and hunters.
Wood Elves were not nice. They weren't evil. They were nature incarnate.

Yes, they are Wood elves sniper and assassins, but I did not counted Waywachters because the did not made the transition to Age of Sigmar. I was talking about Wanderers, a sadly little remnant of the Wood elves were. In fact, they are only 3 or 4 units.

Until they tell me otherwise, what did/didn't make the transition into Cities of Sigmar means diddly.
FFS, they couldn't even manage to put a crummy copy/pasted shield rule into the download for the Wild Riders. It's apparently in the actual Warscroll App but not the book or the download.

What remains is:
-Nomad prince
-Wild rangers
-Wildwood rangers
-Eternal ward
Waywachters and Wardancers, made of resin, did not even have been part of the Wanderers before Cities of Sigmar.

Nope. Nomad Prince, Wild Riders, Wildwood Rangers, Eternal Guard, Sisters of the Thorn, and Sisters of the Watch(which were High Elf units originally). Waywachters and Wardancers, made of resin, did not even have been part of the Wanderers before Cities of Sigmar.
None of those were resin. Waywatchers were metal until the unit version got discontinued at the start of AoS. The Waystalker(the hero version) got renamed to Waywatcher and remained in production until Cities of Sigmar. Something people don't seem to understand is that the Wood Elf range had very little resin in it. There was the Treekin(dropped when AoS hit), one of the Spellsinger sculpts(floating in air with stave), and the version that was known as the "Waystrider".

There isn't. There are some that vaguely come close, but eventually Shadowkin (shadow-elves) will get an army and they will probably be what you are looking for. Though that is speculation.

I chose an avatar I feel best represents the quality of my post history.
I try to view Warhammer as more of a toolbox with examples than fully complete games. |
