Sylvaneth – The Lady of Vines
8" 8 3+ 5 The Lady of Vines is held in the utmost respect by the Sylvaneth. She is Alarielle’s trusted right hand in the most literal sense, for after she died protecting her mother goddess, she was regrown from Alarielle’s severed limb. She wields Kurnotheal’s Wrath, a spear grown from a splinter of the Everqueen’s own legendary weapon. Within it resides a sliver of the hunter-god’s guiding animus, and when hurled it can wreak terrible damage before being plucked back into the Lady’s hand by a reaching vine. The Lady also bears the ultimate mark of Alarielle’s favour – her Verdian Crown, which blankets those fighting around her in her mother’s power and allows them a greater measure of arboreal control.
The liana-like whips that lash from the Lady’s body at will are thick and razoredged, thirsting for vengeance as a shadowed flower thirsts for sunlight. She has never faltered in her prosecution of the long War of Life against the Plague God’s forces. Without her certainty, her ability to navigate the realmroots and the incredible lengths that the Lady went to in order to keep Alarielle safe, the Everqueen would certainly be dead, and the realm of Ghyran rotted away by the scourge of Nurgle. | ||

18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect.| Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.
| ||
| In some cases, it might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||
2.0 Spells
The declare step of each spell will tell you to make a casting roll of 2D6. If the roll does not equal or exceed the spell’s casting value (at the top-right corner of the spell), the spell fails and its effect is not resolved.If the unmodified casting roll includes 2 or more rolls of 1, the spell is miscast: the spell fails, its effect is not resolved, D3 mortal damage is inflicted on the WIZARD that used it, and that WIZARD cannot use any more spells in that phase.
Enemy reactions can only be used if the casting roll equals or exceeds the spell’s casting value. So long as the spell is not unbound (see 4.0), then it is successfully cast: resolve its effect.
