Pretty new to AoS. Played a few times with the Start Collecting Boxes but I am trying to plan what I will (eventuallllyyy....) build towards in time.

(Dreadwood Grove)

Heroes

Durthu - 340 (Jewl of Withering, General)
Drycha - 320 (Regrowth)
Treelord Ancient - 300 (Acorn of the Ages, Dwellers Below)
Branchwych - 80 (Vesperal Gem, Verdurous Harmony)

Battleline
Spite-Revenants - 60
Spite-Revenants - 60
Spite-Revenants - 60

Other
Kurnoth Hunters Scythes - 200
Kurnoth Hunters Scythes - 200
Kurnoth Hunters Bows - 200


Battalions
Free Spirits - 140
Outcasts - 100


Total 1980

Idea is to use teleports from Realmroots, Durthu, Ancient and Sinister Ambush to have total control over 1 objective, to then switch at a moment's notice. Drycha + Spites deal with hordes, Durthu/Hunters have rend to deal with high saves.

Not sure if the Branchwych is better off as a Arch-Revenant or Branchwraith, but I'm not sure how good dryad summoning is. It seems really slow IMO. I also didn't include Wraithstone because it doesn't help Drycha's spell.
Apart of me wants a better artifact for Durthu. And I'm not sure if the Vesperal Gem is as good as I think it is. Guaranteed revives on Kurnoth Hunters seem really good.

Thoughts?

Vesperal Gem is really good.

Branchwraith with throne of vines is auto-take for every sylvaneth army. It is an 80 point hero that summons a 100 point unit with a spell--everything after the first is free points. Throne of vines gives her +2 to cast as long as she doesn't move, and she should be camping in the back somewhere to just summon the whole game anyways.
