Sylvaneth collectors need a fair sealed floor, clean title matching, and a short path from first box to a playable shelf. This guide is buying advice — live prices and kits live on the Sylvaneth army hub.
Alarielle's living forests at war. Sylvaneth are the forest spirits of Ghyran: Dryads, Tree-Revenants, and Kurnoth Hunters under Alarielle. The range mixes infantry swarms with big tree-kin centrepieces.
Where to start buying
Start with Spearhead: Sylvaneth. Open the box page, compare sealed all-in prices to complete used comps for the same edition, then set a watch under the middle of the sealed band. The Sylvaneth start path walks the same decision in order.
Cross-check the Sylvaneth army hub for every kit that currently ships to you — Spearhead floors move, and a “cheap” listing is only cheap if it matches the same contents.
What to buy after the Spearhead
Spearhead: Sylvaneth first. Add Dryads or Kurnoth second. Skip Wood Elf legacy boxes sold as current Sylvaneth.
Useful follow-on pages on SprueSentry: Sylvaneth Belthanos First Thorn of Kurnoth, Sylvaneth Gossamid Archers, Sylvaneth: Grove Guardian, Sylvaneth Lady of Vines.

How to read the price

No. This post is long-form buying advice. The army hub is the entity home for kits, floors, and reading lists. Use both — do not treat this guide as a second lore encyclopedia.
