Riding atop his loyal and deadly Carnelian Greatspite, the First Thorn hunts worthy prey, unleashing thunderous blasts from his Kurnothi war- horn before impaling his quarry with a thrust of his huge glaive. | ||

THE CREEPING OVERGROWTH: As children of Ghyran, the Sylvaneth are redolent with the energies of life, which cause the ambient flora to rapidly grow and spread.
Effect: The creeping overgrowth is measured from each terrain feature that has a friendly overgrown token. The range of the creeping overgrowth is based on the number of friendly overgrown tokens on the battlefield as shown:
Designer’s Note: Awakened Wyldwoods are your main way of generating overgrown tokens. Some unit abilities allow you to do so too.

7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’
