This is my second unit of dryads. Painted them over a year ago, back when dryads were still some of the best infantry in the game 🙁 unfortunately the new book changed that. Reduced their points by 1 but also their ward save by 1, their strength by 1, their initiative by 1. They lost skirmish, increased min unit size to 10. They can’t take a banner and they can’t take a standard. On the flip side they got hatred and the ward save isn’t negated by magic. All in all though I think it’s widely agreed by players and opponents alike that they have been hit kinda hard. As they stand their role in the army is greatly diminished and the points almost certainly better spent elsewhere. Such a shame as they are awesome models and I have 29 of them. I can think of numerous ways they could be fixed but I think the quickest and easiest would be to give them back skirmish and reduce their min unit size to 5. I based them just before the new book came out.
For whatever reason they seem a bit shiney in the photo like the matt varnish was not so matt or in fact glossy, this is not the case in real life. And the photo is a bit dark.
