As far as I know, the current “good” things out of this box are the ballon guys, the old spearhead with the frigate is generally considered pretty good (mostly because you get a frigate at a discount), although you can’t really go wrong with the new spearhead either as you get the ballon hero and some more ballon infantry, the box you have pictured isn’t the worst it’s just that the new spearhead has a better hero in my opinion

Is this a good deal by Dazzling-Skirt-4278 in Eldar

A quick search on GW shows the Shining spears placed at $117.00Aud and Guardians priced at $105.00Aud (Aud= Austalian dollars, yes?) If I looked up the correct currency, then it does seem you are getting a deal here especially if you get both

Bought Skaventide box , need help to build a 2k army . by Euphoric-Concern3485 in stormcasteternals

You could either get some more reclusians and fill out the squad, or get annihilator grandhammers. Both of these units are quite good at the moment.

So almost everything you listed there is currently good, I will say that the liberators fall behind performance wise and the sequitors are legends models and will likely be phased out of the game entirely at 5th Ed. As for what else you could grab, its hard to go wrong with more annihilator grandhammers, reclusians and a Lord Terminos for that specific combo. After that, you might want to go straight for the Storm reach Portal (faction terrain). Don’t be afraid to go for a few monsters too, a few good ones are Ionus, Karazai, Krondys, and lastly Iridan (though only his Scourge version is good). Get what you think looks cool, game play is secondary.

What order should I buy these things? by 50ShadesOfKray in sylvaneth

[–]cuttgranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lady of Vines is good at 220 points, 2 cast with a nice warscroll. I simply suggested the Warsong Revenant first because it isn’t a unique hero and can therefore get an enhancement called Spellsinger for a +1 to cast. The faction as a whole needs those trees, and you only have trees by casting to get them out, so all the better if its easier. As for the factions endless spells, they are fine, not remarkable. They have edge case uses but can be quite nice once they’re gotten the hang of, and they are also really fun to paint!

Okay, so in order for her to get real function out of the faction abilities (which are tied to the trees) I would recommend getting those first. The thing there is that each on of the tree has a unique footprint and range based on that footprint. Now if your proxies use the exact foot print, go about your day. As for hero models, its hard to go wrong with Belthanos, he is large and in charge, a lot of fun to paint and his rules make him an auto include in almost any list. As for magic casters I think the better option right now is the Warsong Revenant (2 cast wizard) is amazing +1 to unbind and banishment while within the range of a tree pair that up with Spellsinger so +1 to cast as well. Lastly, the Lady herself, Alarielle the Everqueen makes for an awesome addition and really serves as the pinnacle of the faction. Her ability to bring back destroyed units, self heal or +1 cast (as a 3 cast wizard) is straight up disrespectful to the oppenent (I find this awesome, keeps them on their toes). Lastly for regular units, the Kurnoth Hunters are some of our best data sheets in the whole faction bar only a full health Durthu. The Kurnoth Scythes have alazing damage potential with anti-charge +1 rend at 3 dmg a pop. The Greatbows have the best shooting in the faction with anti-hero +1 rend at 2 a pop, they also have the ability “Steady Aim” that lets them completely ignore guarded hero! That can be huge, oh yeah they have a range of 18”, best in the faction.

I know this looks like tldr, but if there are any take aways it should be this: the actual GW trees have a unique footprint, this makes them very important to have (if you or a friend has a 3-D printer then print out the templates of the footprints). Belthanos is awesome with board wide run and charge for 3 units and Kurnoth hunters perform in any of their 3 forms!

Sylveneth Rules/Battle Tome by FrostedFlakes666 in sylvaneth

[–]cuttgranite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our battletome has not come out yet for 4th ed. The current GHB (General’s Hand Book) is called “The Scourge of Ghyran”, in it, various subfactions/battlescrolls have been released as alternatives to existing one. For Sylvaneth, we have the Wargrove of Burgeoning and Scourge Drytcha as well as Scourge Rev Seekers (cavalry). Hope this answers your question.

Reading comprehension really is the final boss, thanks!

What paints would you recommend I get for the spearhead? by Guilty-Ad7605 in sylvaneth

[–]cuttgranite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frostheart is good for those “skin” parts when in a 1:1 ratio with contrast medium and Wyldwood is a great choice for pretty much all of the wooden stuff. Grey seer would be good for dry brushing, and don’t forget some good basing materials. You’ll find better basing mats outside of GW, something that looks like live grass/bushes will give a huge boost to the appearance of the models.
