Recently we started a Warhammer Soulbound campaign and I just had to draw my badass sylvaneth branchwych, Lhyrann, and her pal, Grubby :)

Branchwych! This is my first sylvaneth model I've painted so she's kindof a test model for my paint/basing scheme. Not super happy with how the glow ended up (it looks a lot worse on my phones camera than it does irl) but other than that I'm really proud of how this has turned out.

In terms of the base I really love the vibe of the sylvaneth that destroy industrialised towns, so I'm trying to represent that here with buried gears since it's a small base. If you're wondering, the leaves are birch seeds!

I'm not 100% sold on the black rim, I've always liked them but I played a game last week and the black rims really felt out of place with the rest of the mini and terrain, I might try switching to a dark brown I'm not sure.

To start a series of uploads this is my 15mm Wood elf army. I love these little guys.

These are my Treekin. I have a branchwych, dryads, forest spirits and a couple of big tree lords.

Solança, Branchwych of Clan Xeria, Gnarlroot Glade, and her bittergrub companion Lavor. Protectors of Fafyrd and Liberators of Whitevale.

A character played by friend in a Soulbound campaign we both play in. Felt it'd be nice to paint her up in model form. At some point I do intend to do the rest of the Binding. If I can find the right models for it.

But did you know that Sylvaneth are pre-eminently drybrushable? They have some great texturing for that, saves on highlights. Once I had figured out what colours to use it went down pretty painlessly. Even if I my Coelia Greenshade has some flow issues I've noticed. The clasp at the base of the braid isn't the best, lost too much detail there by accident. The only real mishap was when the bittergrub tail broke off after painting, must've not glued it properly. But that was only minor annoyance in the end.

Also first time I've used tea leaves for basing. Which went down pretty well.

I know I'm all over the place with models, but here is the start of my sylvaneth!

And a branchwych!

Sylvaneth Branchwych

Two weeks ago, I started my Sylvaneth experimentation with some Dryads and inks. This week, I'm continuing my Sylvaneth foray with my first leader, the Branchwych. The Browns and Greens Like my dryads, I started with a black primer with zenithal white over. I did a quick drybrush with white

Life and Death, a Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Story

In the streets of Candleheld, a city of Shyish, marched the four clawed legs of Thavara. The vampire, formerly of the Avengorii Dynasty, paused in front of a green realmgate. This gate lead to the other half of the twin city, the half within the lush forest of Ghyan. She planned to enter the gate and travel to the Realm of Life, but nervousness froze her place. The green glow washed over her thin, light blue lower body. Her blood red wings hid her clawed fingers playing with a woven dagger, a gift from the one she wished to talk to.

Thankfully for her, the one Thavara wished to talk to walked through the realmgate first.

“Ahh, Zyn.” She said, faking confidence and trying to use her wings to hide her wagging tail. “Just the wych I wanted to see. What brings a child of life into the realm of the dead?”

Zyndras, a sylvaneth branchwych, stood in the glow of the gate. A scythe sat on her light brown shoulder while bugs skittered through the red leaves decorating her head. “I could say the same of you.” She answered, her voice raspy.

“How many times do I have to remind you that I’m undead?” Thavara laughed.

“You know what I mean.”

“I joke. Still as stiff as the tree you live in, aren’t you?”

“Still trying not to eat everyone you meet?” Zyndras shot back, her still face failing her attempt at comedy.

With a hearty laugh, Thavara plucked a worm out of Zyndras’s foliage. “You supply me with enough meat.” She said, throwing the insect into the air and catching it her mouth. “What to talk in the normal spot?”

The two warriors meandered past the strange looks of Candleheld's residents towards an old, abandoned dock. This dock was partially destroyed during an ogor pirate invasion. While the invasion was dealt with long ago, a small gnoblar tribe that traveled with the brutes had infested the area and keep people from repairing the broken trade port. A new dock was built a hundred meters down the beach.

Thavara’s fangs dug deep into a lone gnoblar’s neck while Zyndras poked at a piece of washed up driftwood. A flower sprouted from the wood.

“So… what’ve been up to seen we last talked?” The vampire asked, trying to avoid what she wanted to say.

“I was,” Zyndras sighed, keeping her eyes on the sprouting flower. “I was visited by Mother Alarielle.”

“Oh! That’s great!” Thavara smiled. “I wish Alarielle was my god. She’s so much nicer than Nagash.”

“She is.” The sylvaneth sadly creaked.

“What’s wrong Zyn?”

She sighed. “Mother Alarielle asked me to become a Soulbound.”

The statement struck Thavara like a stake through the heart. Becoming a Soulbound meant one thing. Death. Permanent death. No resurrection. No rebirth. Nothing. A soul lost forever.

Thavara knew the danger of becoming a Soulbound, especially for a sylvaneth like Zyn. Her plant pal and her kin lived for their cycles of death and rebirth. If she agreed to this request from her goddess, her entire "bloodline" ends right here.

"Y-you said no, right?"

Zyn didn't answer her.

“Right?”

"You wouldn't say no to your god."

"I wouldn't say no to Nagash because he'd rip out my bones and build a new servant!" Thavara yelled, throwing the dead gnoblar to the ground. "Alarielle gives you a choice. YOU CAN SAY NO!"

"I can't!" Zyn shot back. "No sylvaneth can say no to our Goddess!" She lowered her voice with a sigh. "Death can't refuse their god. Life won't."

The two stood in silence. The blood of the greenskin drip towards the piece of driftwood, watering the red flower growing out of it.

"I'm sorry." Thavara squeaked. "I don't have many people I can call a friend. I-I'll miss you..."

"So will I." Zyn said, taking a step closer to the vampire. "But you will always be a member of my Glade."

Thavara wrapped her clawed arms around the branchwych, lifting her into the air and causing her to drop her scythe. "I'll keep an eye open for you here." She smiled, pressing her forehead against Zyn's. "You Glade will be safe with me."

"I trust you will."

The vampire laughed as she dropped her sylvaneth friend. "So what does your god want you to do?"

"Those I am bounded to and I are tasked with preventing Drycha and her Outcast from attacking the free cities of Ghyran. Candleheld included."

Unnoticed by the two, the flower roots buried into the sand of the beach, the blood feeding the burgeoning plant. This will not be the last time this flower will taste blood. Mere months later, Zyndras would stare down at the blooming, blood red flower, fed by the blood of Thavara.

Thavara never told Zyndras that she became a Soulbound herself.

I don't like that chompy leg grub. But wysiwyg says the branchwych can't be alone, the bug had stats. Thankfully there are spites abound to count-as.

(Not sure yet what the third will look like)

WIP Sylvaneth coral army. The second picture us Actually old but I don’t have a more recent photo of the smalls.

Bases need painting and details adding and edges highlighted but they’re basically table ready.

I started this color scheme before Deepkin were officially announced and I’m only a little annoyed that I have a mighty need to get those as well for this army…
