The Spirit of Durthu has seen some nice changes, a much more forgiving Damage Table now means you need to inflict 7 wounds before that tasty damage 6 on the Guardiam Sword reduces to D6. Included in the box are four new Warscrolls for the Sylvaneth which include two updated Warscrolls for the Spirit of Durthu and Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatbows. I’m going to open the floor to our resident Sylvaneth player, Jay, on the changes to Sylvaneth rules: This is our first peek at what rules could be within the upcoming Battletomes for both of the included armies. Now the bit you may have been waiting for…the Warscrolls! All feel very narrative and would make a great afternoons gaming. This little book also includes its own set of Realm Rules for Aqshy which feel really fun to try out, and a set of 3 battleplans. I mean, it’s no Black Library novel, but it’s enjoyable, and great for new players too. I never like going too much into the lore, but it’s an enjoyable read. The included book is really nicely presented, and features a number of pages which focuses on the lore and reasoning behind these two forces clashing. For a new player, or someone (like me) who has recently got into the faction the box is a great starting place for an army, Echoes of Doom Supplement

In total there’s about 600 points of Skaven here. The Skaven half however is less likely to impress current players, as they are probably swimming in rats already, but the new Deathmaster model is really nice. The new minis are fantastic, in particular those archers! This half of the box is perfect for both new, and expanding Sylvaneth players, and in total comes up about 1100 points, which is amazing value. Sylvaneth players are in particular rewarded with this box, thanks to having two brand new units. Probably one of the main reasons you want to buy this box is the included models. What is nifty, is the small version of the Core Rulebook which is also included! Handy for tournaments and the like.įinally, we have a a raft of gaming accessories, including tokens, warscroll cards, instructions and bases. You also get a supplement book, complete with plenty of narrative, background on the armies and units, battle plans and copies of the warscrolls for each included unit.
