Thiagoma Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Another possibility will be the WHU teaser . Sometimes it previews new factions (like the Kurnothi) so maybe we get a look at the new "high elves" in the shape of a warband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronotekk Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 They wouldn't be angelic since that's the aesthetic of the realm of heavens, light realm is a lot of geometric weird looking guys. I can see it being an army of high elf wizards controlling crystal golems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaliontil Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 As much as I would love to see some "High elves" love, I don't think that we will get anything till 2020, at least. Death + Ogors + Kurnothi/Beastgrave, along with the need to release Psychich Awakening/Space Marines supplements for 40k compress the calendar a lot. However, next year there could be some sort of campaign related to the release of Slaanesh and the appearance of Malerion and Teclis/Tyrion to fight against it. Also, the idea of crystal golems is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it being an army of high elf wizards controlling crystal golems they are described in the core rule book as angelic, and they are supposed to have an alliance with hysh spirits. so it will likely be 'angelic' aelves, in purfeclty mathematical armor fighting along side "hysh spirits" some or all of which will be crystalline construct things. hysh gems (made from pure hysh magic) increase speed of mind and body, so they will likely heavy lean into speed and maneuver (so lots of cavalry type things) and hysh is also associated with mathematics, so artillery (the most mathematical weapon system in any time period) should be a big theme. they are also supposed to have military orders, and most aelves in hysh live on floating sky islands so there should be plenty of flying things (although this may be retconned) if they are being released in the next year or so then we may get a tease, but i am not expecting anything at all (other then mentions in lore) intill 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, nothing even in rumor engines suggest Elves other than what was show into Kurnothi, and sometimes those comes many months or years in advance, so...

Turin Turambar Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 wheat, wheat needs light to grow, thus light aelfs confirmed! in all seriousness, i think it looks too overgrown to be hysh aelf stuff. most likely wanderers/kurnothi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiagoma Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Maybe you are right, but it is the first "elvish" rumor since Kurnothi was released so i worthy the mentioning. I wonder what is the thing coming out of the back of the stone. Look like cloth or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmac Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I think the Waystone looking rumor engine could be Hysh Aelves, but on balance it looks more like Wanderers to me, and I'd be surprised to see Light Aelves getting released before Wanderers/Kurnothi at this point, with them getting the protag slot in Beastgrave among other things. If we get Kurnothi and Light Aelves in the same year, then maybe. On the subject of rumor engines, STD took a couple, but lets look at what's left for maybe aelven: It's not a big pool, but it's unlikely any of these are STD at this point. I think the staff is probably from the DoK Beastgrave warband, the crossbow looking thing is a hard call, and I can't deny there's some flame stylings on some of these that could be Hysh Aelves. OTOH, the waystone looks Wanderish and the bit in the back looks kind of like a Kurnothi tail. The pony tail also seems like something wanderers would have, and the boot is hard to call but I'm going to say definitely not Hysh if nothing else. Mind, the big STD/Death releases are out of the way, as is Phoenix Rising for the space aelves, so it's not terribly likely any of those are snagging these. I think next year we'll see one, maybe two new Aelf armies, Got Scuttlers, and who knows what else. The next two months of rumor engines are going to be enlightening, I think.

Kayzee84 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The architect in me cant help be see a stylized measuring compass on that waystone. Could tie into the symmetry bit of lore for the 'light' aelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the - I want to say Bonereaper focused - recent podcast (Stormcast) the designer said that basically the mortal humans of the Realms are currently mostly Slaves to Darkness. That is to say humans that run the gauntlet from totally devoted to Chaos - all the way to wildmen who just about worship a few rocks. From huge chaos fortresses and lords to human cities who worship different gods, which are just the puppet plaything creations of the chaos gods (basically greater demons pretending to be other gods). So all those Chaos warriors and knights; all those marauders; all those various and creative Warcry Warbands - THAT is the human population of the Realms. After that there's a bastion of humanity hiding in the Cities of Sigmar. However whilst their cities are often very extensive and there are regions that no longer feel the brunt of war against Chaos and have been cleansed far behind the front lines; they are still a small bastion compared to the wilds of the realms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkanaut Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Pfft worse than dwarves HAHAH. Big model ranges, good rules, and the KO and Fyre are getting scraps. 4 AoS armies eventually + legacy models. Always good rules. Nothing but spoiled elf in here. Meanwhile KO are one of the worst army in the game for years same with Fyre. Yeah I can't say I have any sympathy at this point and I say that as also an Idoneth Deepkin player.

Please, turn it down a notch. We get it. You are very unhappy with the state of Kharadron Overlords. KOs have problems, I know. They are my biggest AoS army but they are not the worst. They even win major tournaments from time to time. Look at the most recent stats on The Honest Wargamer. They have more wins than a number of other factions. Its okay that you like an update, I do too, but just repeating the same stuff every few pages doesnt help anyone. Neither does attacking people who like to see more aelfs.
