Sylvaneth Initial Thoughts

I've decided to start collecting Sylvaneth! I was orignally going to do Death but my friend told me not to as he had just started them himself! So looking over the other options I decided to go with Sylvaneth due to the amazing models (Drycha in particular) plus the expanded Battletome certainly didn't hurt...

One of the coolest things for me in the book is the amount of movement options you can get, from the Forest Spirits rule right to the Dreadwood Wargrove or Forest Folk battalions. I've decided to focus on collecting a Dreadwood Wargrove due to the movement rules, which I think can also make them very competitive, as well as the modelling / painting opportunities and fluff! Here's a quick list of just about everything I'd like to collect (that may take a while!).

To get it down to 2000 points I could drop the forest folk battalion or some of the Treemen / Kurnoth Hunters. Although those guys are all really good!

I've chosen a colour scheme I'm really excited about, something based off of one of the photos in the Battletome, one that's really bright and unlike anything I've done before, really excited to try some new techniques out on it! Not liking the hair on the Tree Revs, I've opted to fill in the gaps on their heads with greenstuff, a good side effect is visually linking them with the Spites, whilst still keeping the more Elven features!
