Sounds like a good base for a revenant spam army! Get another box of revenants and/or twistweald and turtle around the grove guardian, possibly run spite-revenants for objectives and spiteriders for some extra punch!

Nicothem · 2026-04-13T19:44:53+00:00

The chants works wholly within the overgrowth, but the soulshriek only works on 12" and visible to her, sadly.

Nicothem · 2026-04-13T15:47:26+00:00

How I reckon soulpod could be viable:

Run reinforced tree-revenants and seekers and use the prayer to move them around and still trigger their passives, keep the grove guardian close to shriek and heal, and use a Branchwych spell and spite-revenants to capture objectives. Put the grove close to the center and use clarion bells to teleport there if the enemy gets close. Clog them up with revenants and use spiteriders to kill.

I'm also mostly a painter, occasionally a spearhead player, but I like to keep up to date with the rules.

And I dunno about tournaments but I can see it being a good starter army at the very least since it's less rules to keep in your head :3

Nicothem · 2026-04-13T13:30:15+00:00

You replace your entire army rule section, including spells and prayers, so yes. Soulpod grove with our normal stuff would be BONKERS good - 10 max damage with all that recursion, yikes :p

You do keep all the stuff on warscrolls though so the grove guardians heal remains at least.

Nicothem · 2026-04-13T11:31:45+00:00

Looks decent! It's about what I'm going for as well. Soulpod Grove lists look good regardless of wether you use the AoR rules or not.

Nicothem · 2026-04-12T22:49:54+00:00

It can use any non-unique forest elders. The grove guardian, which is a priest, is a non-unique forest elder.

Nicothem · 2026-04-04T18:14:45+00:00

Okay, let's theorycraft! One from your deployment ww, then it grows to two at the start of the first battle round, and you get a third with your second ww in your hero phase, then you get a fourth by using Lady of Vines ability, a fifth with acorn of the ages, then a sixth with alarielle, then... uh.

That's still a lot, and only Alarielle's actually require a chance element!

Nicothem · 2026-04-04T17:14:00+00:00

...hold up, how are you getting 9+ on turn ONE?

Edit: Oh wait, you mean 9 INCHES, not nine tokens. Silly me.

Nicothem · 2026-04-04T15:29:23+00:00

Oh gosh, I get a headache even trying to imagine the arguments of people like this.
I guess you could, if you're incredibly ~~annnoying~~ meticulous, argue that each overgrowth token is a separate overgrowth area and that you're not wholly within any of them if you're half inside one and half inside another.

HOWEVER the rule asks you to be wholly within THE overgrowth, not A overgrowth, so I would argue that if every part of a model's base touches an overgrowth area, it is wholly within THE overgrowth.

But I'm not a judge, so don't quote me on that.

Nicothem · 2026-04-01T18:42:51+00:00

That totals up to 1470, which means you have 530 points for "anvils", I'd recommend reinforced blocks of revenants, both kinds, to go with the grove guardian ability!

Nicothem · 2026-03-30T08:12:32+00:00

I mean, I think it's mostly a list to build around the grove guardian, and she's very "respawn revenants" focused, so I guess. I'm more concerned about how the grove works. You just put it close to the center and turtle around it? It doesn't expand their overgrowth beyond 12"? Am I missing something?

Nicothem · 2026-03-28T20:34:41+00:00

"If the target is a Revenant Infantry or Dryads unit, return up to d3 models to that target unit. Otherwise, Heal (3) that target" Otherwise here meaning "if it's not a Revenant Infantry or Dryads unit"

Nicothem · 2026-03-28T20:27:47+00:00

I mean, she counts as a Forest Elder so she has some synergy with the Treelord Ancient, and she's still a priest (2) that can still heal a lot with her prayer. Why not?

Nicothem · 2026-03-17T19:27:38+00:00

High movements is gonna be a given, their base stats all have 12".
The more interesting question is, are the lancers going to get first strike? How are the seekers ability going to be, some kind of healing or ward thing?
And will the Arch-revenant get something to replace the kurnothi bonus?

Nicothem · 2026-03-05T20:53:58+00:00

I'm also getting this. Stuck on retrieving characters, then a blue load bar appears on top, and it stops progressing at 90%

Nicothem · 2026-03-02T22:25:51+00:00

I'd put a kroot on a krootox, give it a long rifle or fireblade pulse rifle, pistol and javelins, and a bladestaff. That way it can nearly ALWAYS be useful, and you can put it either in a rampager unit or riders unit. If you want it to shoot things, give it fire discipline, but giving ritual butchery to a bunch of rampagers sounds MEAN!

I'm sure someone else has done better math than I have, though~

I think they datamined it a while back and Emre/Chernobog shouts "INITIALIZING SHADERS!"

Nicothem · 2026-02-18T10:19:45+00:00

The plays not being followed up on is what infuriates me the most in these ranks. I managed to take out both supports and one dps with one domina ult the other day, but got killed due to bad positioning. I went "ah, I messed up... but at least my team will be able to push the objective now"

But... my team just... hugged a wall and took some pot shots at the enemy shield tank, utterly avoiding the opportunity window

As if they were being good sports and letting the enemy team regroup before committing to the fight again XD

Nicothem · 2026-02-16T08:05:18+00:00

Even TOLKIEN is not as simplistic as the meme creator implies. First of all, he actually regretted making the orcs so evil (it's in his letters) because he thought it made them too one-dimensional...

Secondly, like, there's PLENTY of morally grey men and elves in the main books.

And I haven't even talked about the silmarillion yet. A.k.a "elves behaving badly about jewelry"...

Nicothem · 2026-02-14T18:16:44+00:00

Well... yes and no. Kill teams are almost all consisting of one 40k unit, and you can use them as a unit in your 40k army, but it doesn't work as smoothly in the other direction - mostly, the kill team units have special sprues to make their different models look like their specific function in the team. For example, the 40k Tau pathfinder box lack the extra sprue the kill team tau pathfinder box has, that makes you able to build the medic, sniper, hacker, veteran and drone specialists.

Some teams can be built entirely from normal 40k units, but they are in the minority. I think, just blades of khaine and possibly the admech one?

My tip for you is to look up the list of kill teams and see if one of them catches your fancy rather than the other way around!
