GW just officially revealed the new Sylvaneth lineup as rumors have been sweeping the internet about their new Aos update for weeks.
Warhammer Community dropped an announcement on the Sylvaneth while also showcasing some brand new models! Let’s get a closer look at what we’ve got coming.
Warhammer TV Announces Sylvaneth Delay
From Warhammer TV on Youtube, they announced two things. That yes, Sylvaneth are definitely coming along with new models and a Battletome. However, the product is being held up in customs and they don’t know how long it would be before the product hits the shelves.
New Sylvaneth Battletome, Warscrolls & Dice
While the Sylvaneth may be in a delay, there’s a silver lining. The faction is going to be coming with a bunch of updates and models.
As far as we can tell, the Arch-Revenant, endless spells, and terrain may be getting all-new warscrolls. Kurnoth Hunters are also going to be dishing out a mortal wound on a 6 to wound with their swords too. (That’s not a big change, but it’s nice). If you’re an existing Sylvaneth player, we’d say there’s going to be enough changes to the faction to make you want to get a pack of the warscroll cards.
If you’re playing Sylvaneth, you’ll also be getting access to a selection of new warscrolls! Most of these will plug in just fine to your existing Sylvaneth army,* with new keywords like Free Spirits and Household coming into play when your battletome is out.
With Free Spirits and Households mentioned, could we be seeing warscroll battalions come out themed around Sylvaneth “loners” and tightly-knit warbands?
in the same vein, and staying true to AoS faction revamps, the Sylvaneth are coming with their own themed dice.
UPDATE: These Are New Awakened Wyldwood Models
In the preview, they dropped this ring of trees. While it was unclear at first, it looks like they’ve been confirmed as the new Wyldwood models for the Sylvaneth. However, if you prefer the older Wyldwood models, those are totally usable as well. Just make sure you stock up on them if you prefer the old sculpts. We have a feeling they may be going to the wayside now that they have a new look.
From Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s Facebook:
Three New Endless Spells
Moving onto the endless spells, the only one we know the name of is the Gladewyrm in the front. Looking at the other two spells, there’s a haunting tree full of skeletons tangled in its roots and a “hive” of bug swarms flying out.
The same “hive” design can be found on Drycha Hamadreth’s shoulders and legs. Could the endless spell be a swarm of Flitterfuries and act similar to Drycha Hamadreth’s rules?
Do you think there is more on the way for Sylvaneth that we haven’t even seen yet? Could this all be the tip of the iceberg? What does your 2,000 pt list look like? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
