The 4th edition of Age of Sigmar brings a well playable Spearhead (Skirmish) play mode. My Sylvaneth Spearhead force is a mixture of GW and CMON miniatures.

The Sylvaneth Spearhead army consists of the following units:
GENERAL
Branchwych

UNITS
1 Treelord (Black Goat of the Woods)
3 Kurnoth Hunters (Dark Young)
5 Tree-Revenants
GWs Treelord and Kurnoth Hunters are IMO a bit goofy looking. And since I have a ton of suitable other minis around I decided to use minis from the "Death may Die" Cthulhu game.


Very small conversion on the General Branchwych mini.
For the Tree-Revenants I used the Spite heads but kept the Tree-Revenants weapons. IMO the Spite heads are better fitting to the darker Cthulhu influenced theme of my Spearhead force.

Pretty cool spearhead!

I love the original sylvaneth models but this is a really nice "don go in to the woods at night" theme -a cruel and unforgiving aspect of the faction.
Instantly recognised as sylvaneth, yet very different. Well done!

Thanks, that was exactly the idea. In addition I can use some already owned models...

I'm really liking your take. The colours make me think of rot and decay in a deep forest.

That was my initial idea, a Sylvaneth force that fought long against Nurgles kin, and somehow both forces are getting more and more like their enemies...

I am right now building the corresponding Nurgle Spearhead, based on my Underworld warband:

now those look pretty cool

The Maggotkin Spearhead army consists of the following units:
GENERAL

– 1x Spoilpox Scrivener (Fecula Flyblown from the Underworlds Wurmspat)

UNITS
10x Plaguebearers of Nurgle (GW Sludge-Grubs and Cursemites from the Gellerpox Kill Team, again the original Plaguebearers looked IMO not serious enough)


5x Putrid Blightkings


2x Pusgoyle Blightlords (Mi-Go from the DUST Mythos faction)
