Sylvaneth – Warscrolls

DEBILITATING SHOT: Kelthannor sends a steady stream of arrows whipping through the air to both maim and impede his quarry.

Declare: Pick an enemy unit that has no more than 1 model and that had any damage points allocated to it this phase by this unit’s shooting attacks to be the target.

Effect: Roll a dice. On a 3+, subtract 1 from the Attacks characteristic of the target’s weapons until the start of your next turn.

REGENESIS: Freshly grown forest spirits leap from the amniotic pods of the Grove Guardian’s genesis tree, ready to join the Everqueen’s war.

Declare: Declare: Pick a friendly SYLVANETH unit that is wholly within the creeping overgrowth or that is visible to and wholly within 12" of this unit to be the target, then make a chanting roll of D6.

Effect: If the chanting roll was 6+, you can pick another eligible unit to be a second target. If a target is a REVENANT INFANTRY or Dryads unit, return up to D3 models to that target unit. Otherwise, Heal (3) that target.

SEASONS OF WAR: Alarielle and her children are fundamentally intertwined with the shifting of the seasons, and their abilities and temperaments alter accordingly. It is within the power of the goddess to temporarily manipulate this state of being, should she wish it.

Declare: You must use this ability.

Effect: Pick 1 of the following effects to apply for the rest of the battle round. You cannot pick the effect that you picked in the previous battle round.

The Burgeoning: Each time a friendly Awakened Wyldwood uses the ‘Ever Growing’ ability, you can pick any terrain feature your opponent does not control to be the target rather than the closest.

The Reaping: Add 1 to casting rolls and chanting rolls for friendly SYLVANETH units while they are wholly within 12" of this unit.

The Dwindling: Friendly SYLVANETH units can use CHARGE abilities even if they used a RETREAT ability in the same turn. In addition, no mortal damage is inflicted on those units when they use RETREAT abilities.

Everdusk: Each time you use the ‘Creeping Dread’ ability this battle round, you can pick up to 3 targets instead of 1.

LIFEBLOOM: Just as the Burgeoning follows Everdusk, the restorative energies of Ghyran heal Alarielle’s wounds with cyclical inevitability.

Effect: Heal (2D6) this unit.

METAMORPHOSIS: With a fierce glare, Alarielle’s foes are wracked with creaking contortions as they violently transform into twisted effigies of living wood.

Declare: Pick a visible enemy unit within 12" of this unit to be the target, then make a casting roll of 2D6.

Effect: Inflict 2D3 mortal damage on the target. If the target would be destroyed by this spell, before removing any models, pick the closest terrain feature to the target that does not have a friendly overgrown token and give it a friendly overgrown token. If all terrain features on the battlefield already have a friendly overgrown token, inflict D3 mortal damage on each enemy unit within 6" of the target instead.

THE GODDESS OF LIFE: So long as Ghyran endures, so will the Everqueen.

Declare: This unit can use this ability even if it has been destroyed.

Effect: Set up a replacement unit with 8 damage points allocated to it (ward rolls cannot be made for those damage points) wholly within the creeping overgrowth and more than 9" from all enemy units.

LIVING BATTERING RAM: A charging Wardroth Beetle tramples all in its path.

Declare: If this unit charged this turn, pick a visible enemy unit within 1" of it to be the target.

Effect: Roll a dice. On a 3+, inflict an amount of mortal damage on the target equal to the roll.

KURNOTHI WAR-HORN: The sounding of Belthanos’s war-horn brings forth a surging response from the hunt.

Effect: Add 2" to the Move characteristic of friendly KURNOTHI units while they are wholly within 12" of this unit.

HUNTMASTER’S STRIKE: The battlefield is the hunting ground and until his god returns, Belthanos is the prime hunter.

Effect: If this unit charged this turn, remove it from the battlefield and set it up again more than 6" from all enemy units and wholly within the creeping overgrowth.

RHYTHM OF THE CHASE: Belthanos relentlessly harries his quarry before deftly closing the distance to deliver the killing strike

Declare: Pick an enemy unit in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: Roll a D3. On a 2+, inflict an amount of mortal damage on the target equal to the roll, then you can remove this unit from the battlefield and set it up again within 1" of the target.

ENRAGE THE SPITES: Drycha shares a special kinship with the flitting, scuttling lesser spirits of the forest, who are stirred into a frenzy when her ire is raised.

Declare: Pick up to 3 enemy units that are visible to and within 12" of this unit or that are within the creeping overgrowth to be the targets, then make a casting roll of 2D6.

Effect: Inflict D3 mortal damage on each target.

MERCILESS AMBUSH: Despite her size and terrifying presence, Drycha stalks silently through hidden realm-root passageways, emerging without warning to fall upon her prey.

Effect: If this unit is not in combat and has not used a RUN or RETREAT ability this turn, make a charge roll of 2D6. Then, remove this unit from the battlefield and set it up again within ½" of an enemy unit and wholly within X" of a terrain feature that has a friendly overgrown token, where X is equal to the charge roll. If you do so, this unit has charged.

GROUNDSHAKER: The Spirit of Durthu stamps down hard with one of its trunk-like legs, shaking the earth as well as the enemy’s wits.

Declare: Pick an enemy non-FLY INFANTRY or CAVALRY unit in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: Roll a dice. On a 3+, the target has STRIKE-LAST for the rest of the turn.

PROTECTION OF THE EVERQUEEN: The Lady of Vines shields her fellow Sylvaneth with the purifying power of her goddess mother.

Declare: Make a casting roll of 2D6. Add 1 to the roll if this unit is wholly within the creeping overgrowth.

Effect: Until the start of your next turn, friendly SYLVANETH units have WARD (5+) while they are wholly within 12" of this unit.

VERDIAN CROWN: The invigorating power of the Everqueen herself radiates from the ornate jade crown borne by the Lady of Vines.

Declare: Pick a terrain feature within 18" of this unit that does not have a friendly overgrown token to be the target.

Effect: Give the target a friendly overgrown token.

AWAKENING SLUMBERING SPIRITS: As the Sylvaneth reclaim parts of the realms, the spirit-song calls out to tree spirits that are deep in slumber to rejoin the glades.

Declare: Pick a visible terrain feature that has a friendly overgrown token and is within 12" of this unit. Then, pick a friendly non-UNIQUE KURNOTHI or Treelord unit that has been destroyed to be the target.

Effect: Set up a replacement unit with 1 model from the target unit wholly within 6" of that terrain feature and more than 9" from all enemy units. Then, remove the friendly overgrown token from that terrain feature. If the target was a Treelord, allocate 10 damage points to the replacement unit (ward rolls cannot be made for those damage points).

ELDEST OF ELDERS: The Treelord Ancient imparts its ancient wisdom through the spirit-song to the members of its circle, enlightening them on how best to deal with these particular enemies of the forest.

Declare: Pick each friendly FOREST ELDER within this unit’s combat range to be the targets.

Effect: Roll a dice for each target. On a 3+, add 1 to hit rolls for that target’s combat attacks until the start of your next turn.

TWISTED SPIRIT-SONG: Disharmonious and laced with anger, Drycha’s spirit-song fills her allies with rage.

Declare: Pick a visible friendly SYLVANETH unit wholly within 12" of this unit to be the target. Then, make a casting roll of 2D6.

Effect: Until the start of your next turn, add 1 to wound rolls for the target’s combat attacks, including those made with Companion weapons.

In addition, if the target is non-KURNOTHI, add 1 to the Attacks characteristics of the target’s melee weapons.

DEAFENING DRONE: Revenant Seekers circle over the melee, cutting throats and piercing skulls with swipes of their sickles. The buzzing roar of their dragonspites’ wings soon disorientate enemies who engage them in protracted combat.

Declare: If this unit did not charge this turn, pick an enemy unit in combat with it to be the target.

Effect: Subtract 1 from the Attacks characteristic of the target’s melee weapons for the rest of the turn.

STRIKE AND FADE: Spiterider Lancers seek to avoid drawn-out combat, preferring instead to launch blistering attacks from cover and annihilating their target in a furious charge, before disengaging and seeking a fresh direction from which to attack.

Effect: If this unit charged this turn, remove it from the battlefield and set it up again more than 9" from all enemy units and wholly within the creeping overgrowth.

LAMENTIRI LIFE ENERGIES: The lamentiri recovered by Revenant Seekers from fallen Sylvaneth have powerful mystical properties that can be harnessed to benefit others of their kind.

Declare: Pick a visible friendly SYLVANETH unit wholly within 12" of this unit to be the target.

Effect: Roll a dice. On a 3+, the target has WARD (5+) for the rest of the turn.

STEADY AIM: Bow-wielding Kurnoth Hunters are those of their kind who exhibit particular focus and patience. They take the time to carefully aim and line up a target before unleashing their arrows with deadly precision.

Effect: If this unit has not used a MOVE ability this turn and was not set up this turn, add 1 to hit rolls for this unit’s shooting attacks for the rest of the turn.

TANGLETHORN THICKETS: Scythe-wielding Kurnoth Hunters have developed the technique of summoning carpets of thorned vines that snare and shred foes who approach without caution.

Declare: Pick an enemy unit that charged this turn and is in combat with this unit to be the target.

Effect: Roll a dice for each model in this unit that is in combat with the target. For each 3+, inflict 1 mortal damage on the target.

CRASHING IMPACT: On the charge, Kurnoth Hunters use their great size and durability as a weapon, delivering powerful strikes driven by their momentum and trampling smaller foes underfoot.

Declare: If this unit charged this turn, pick an enemy unit in combat with it to be the target.

Effect: Roll a dice for each model in this unit that is in combat with the target. For each 3+, inflict 1 mortal damage on the target.

PAIN-INDUCED FRENZY: The pain caused by the Twistweald’s parasitic infestations reaches its zenith when their thoughts turn to imminent murder-making, driving them into an agonised fury.

Effect: This unit’s melee weapons have Crit (2 Hits) if it charged in the same turn.

LASH AND TANGLE: The whipping tendrils that shoot from the Treelord’s palm ensnare enemies and keep them at bay with their frantic thrashing.

Declare: Pick an enemy unit that had any damage points allocated to it this turn by attacks made with this unit’s Strangleroots to be the target.

Effect: Roll a dice. Add 1 to the roll if the target is within the creeping overgrowth. On a 3+, subtract 1 from hit rolls for the target’s attacks until the start of your next turn.

STRANGLING GRASP: The Treelord’s tendrils coil around a chosen foe, crushing the life out of them.

Declare: Pick a visible enemy unit within 10" of this unit to be the target.

Effect: Roll a dice. If the roll exceeds the target’s Health characteristic, 1 model in the target unit is slain.

EVER GROWING: A wyldwood roused by the Sylvaneth will spread its roots deep, inundating its surroundings with life.

Declare: Pick the closest terrain feature to this terrain feature that does not have a friendly overgrown token to be the target.

VENGEFUL FOREST SPIRITS: The spirits within a Sylvaneth wyldwood are easily angered by trespassers into their domain.

Declare: Pick each enemy unit within 3" of this terrain feature to be the targets.

Effect: Roll a D3 for each target. On a 2+, inflict an amount of mortal damage on the target equal to the roll.

ELDRITCH HUNTERS: Gladewyrms are magical creatures, and their prey of choice is similarly arcane in nature. During battle, they burrow beneath the surface, reemerging to devour spellcasters and other mystics, whom they sense with greater clarity than other beings.

Effect: If this MANIFESTATION is not in combat, remove it from the battlefield and set it up again on the battlefield more than 9" from all enemy non-WIZARD non-PRIEST units and more than 3" from all enemy WIZARDS and enemy PRIESTS.

FINISHING MOVES: The Crimson Lash cavort about their chosen arena with effortless grace, avoiding enemy blows and responding with elaborately deadly strikes.

Effect: While each model in a unit in this Regiment of Renown is contesting the amphitheatre:

• That unit’s melee weapons have Crit (Mortal).
• If you control the amphitheatre, if the unmodified hit roll or wound roll for an attack that targets that unit is a 1-4, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends.
