Guys, her rules are bananas...

From Temouloun in the War of Sigmar comments:

Alarielle abilities:
- Talon of the Dwindling: For each character injured but not killed by this weapons, roll two dice. If the result is a double 6 or higher than the current wound characteristic of the model, it is slain.
- Blossomed life: heal d3 wounds in each of your hero phase
- Swiping blows: You can add 1 to the hit rolls of the Wardroth antlers attacks if the enemy units has 5 models or more.
- Living Ram: If the Wardroth Beetle ends a charge move 1" away from a scenery piece, every other unit in that scenery piece takes d3 mortal wounds.
- Amphoras of souls: In her hero phase, Alarielle roll one D6 and look up the result on the table. You can choose any ability lower than the result of your dice. 1-3 Every Sylvaneth at 30" around heal d3 wounds. 4 Set up 2d6 dryads. 5 Set up d6 tree revenants. 6 Set up a Treelord. All set up units must be 9" or less away from Alarielle and 3" or more than any enemy model.

Magic:
- 3 spells and counter spells
- Metamorphosis: Pick an enemy unit up to 16" away. Casting value of 5, roll as many dice as the casting result. Every 4+ inflicts a mortal wound. If the last model of the unit is killed that way, place a set up a sylvaneth wyldwood where the unit was but 1" away from any other unit and scenery.

Command ability:
- Wrath of Ghyran: Once per battle, you can re-roll all wound rolls of all Sylvaneth units until your next hero phase.

Branchwych has +1 to hit if she's near a Sylvaneth Wyldwood and 4 attacks instead of 2 if she's been injured in this combat phase. Her spell is: Fel'o'the wisp - Cast of 5, for every unit a 10" roll as many dice as the casting result. Every roll of 6 inflicts a mortal wound.

Drycha.

Abilities:
- Flitterfuries: For every unit in range roll 10 dice. Ever result of 6 inflicts a mortal wound.
- Squirmlings: Pick a unit in range. For every model in range, roll a dice. Every result above the value indicated above, inflict a mortal wound.
- Changing mood: At the beginning of every turn, including your opponent turn, roll a dice. 1-3 she's enrage. 4-6 she's melancolic. Enraged- reroll results of 1 for the flitterfuries and double the slashing talon's attack value. Melancolic- substract 2 to the wound chart value. reroll results of 1 for the squirmlings.
- Song of spite. Spite revenant units 10" around her can reroll wound rolls of 1.

Magic:
- 1 spell/counter spell
- Primordial terror: Casting value of 6. Roll a dice for every enemy unit at 10" or less and add 2 to the result. If the result is higher than their bravery, inflict as many mortal wounds as the difference between the roll and their bravery value.

- Kurnoth are always in range of Sylvaneth Command Abilities and give that to every Sylvaneth 10" away from them. They have a thornwall like Dryads. No move but reroll failed save rolls. At the end of the combat phase they can trample an enemy unit. Every Kurnoth model rolls a dice and inflicts a mortal wound on a 4+.
- Tree revenants can engage at 6" instead of 3. They can teleport to wyldwoods or on the edge of the table. They can reroll one dice of their choice once per phase.
- Spite revenants just give bravery debuffs to enemies around, particularly around scenery.

So much awesome packed into one Monday..

**str00dles1**

Glad I bought the Forest Spirit warhost when AoS came out.

Long time coming for this but it really fills out the army. To grab it all (handbook and buying so you can make a squad of each configuration) comes to 383$ not to bad. Or $268 if you get it at dealers for 30% off

**Elmir**

Weird that there's no points costs mentioned on the warscrolls now for pitched battles. I was expecting them to be included on those from now on.

Oh well...

My guess is that these models are already included in the points book.

They are. That's how we had the name for the Kurnoth Hunters and Drycha early.

Sweet mother of god...

**Inquisitor Gideon**

I keep looking at Alarielle and God damn she is going to be fun to paint! want! much want!

Sweet mother nature, surely?

**Desubot**

Oh sweet tits on a tree those models look fantastic.

**Hellfury**

Love or hate AoS, I vastly prefer the theme of elves in tune with nature to this degree rather than the woodelves of old. They were just blah gw high elves of a different flavor.

This looks like a proper elvish spirit army. The kind druids would whisper stories about regarding the things that thrive in the dense forests, and seek to bring harm to those foolish enough to venture into their unknown and hidden domain.

I could see room for improvement here, but overall, a huge leap in the right direction that began with the branch wraiths.

I havent contemplated a fantasy army in many years, and these make me itch.

Very nice work on Alarielle. Wonder how expensive it'll be to grab her and not the beetle.

I was thinking just the same but for the beetle.

**Bull0**

Those 5-man squads are £22.50? And a £14 clampack character? Holy hell, GW, that's actually pretty reasonable.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

Take all my money

**sadysaneto**

can anyone please explain how this battleline thing works?

Battleline = Core/Troops. If you keep to one sub-faction, more of your units will become Battleline.

**Barzam**

So, I'm guessing Drycha doesn't have extra parts to enclose her tree Dreadnought, does she?

**Triszin**

Wow, those are gorgeous. I might pick some up to do kit bashes with my space wolves, to make em look more runic/barbarian. XD

**MechaEmperor7000**

I wanna use the Everqueen as an Exodite Avatar of Khaine.

**Daston**

Oh wow those do look so good! Will get a box of the Kurnoth for my wife so she can run them as Treekin.

**Davor**

Isn't that beetle small? Or did she downsize after the pic was released a month or so ago. I guess size doesn't matter.

**Kanluwen**

She's on the same size base as Archaon it looks like, so not that small?

**ChaosxVoid**

my body is ready.....my wallet, however, is not

**mjl7atlas**

Oh look, the wood elves get a Bark Knight! Watch out, they bite!

**Cryptek of Awesome**

mjl7atlas wrote:Oh look, the wood elves get a Bark Knight! Watch out, they bite!

Two things + one other thing:

This model's viney bush needs a trim.
Also, I would like to see a conversion where the Dryad is held outside the tree in large viney baby-carrier.

Also, mjl7atlas, if I were you I wouldn't branch out into comedy - you should stick with your day job until you can log enough hours to leaf it for good.

**rollawaythestone**

So can someone confirm this for me? The Generals Handbook only includes points for the new Age of Sigmar armies that have been released (Fyreslayers, Sylvaneths, IronJawz, Stormcast, etc), but not old armies like the High Elves, Dark Elves, or Tomb Kings?

It includes points for all warcrolls, old and new.

**mjl7atlas**

So there's hope for tomb kings!?

**Kanluwen**

No, there's just points for them.
