Matt’s Treelord Ancient

Matt Hutson expands the Sylvaneth into a Gnarlroot Wargrove with a Treelord Ancient and more Kurnoth Hunters. His discussion weighs the dependable damage of greatswords against scythes and explains how the new additions support the army rather than simply supplying a larger centrepiece.
