KillagoreFaceslasha Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Colour scheme looks awfully similar to slaanesh's. So, Slaaneshi aelfs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 16 minutes ago, Ekrund Oath Splitters said: You could say the same about any rumour monger. Until the product is out it is all just speculation i am just saying worse case scenerio is that KO are out on the 3rd week of april. We already know khorne is redone for april so that takes up 1 week and shadow war may be released in april too so a possible of 2 weeks gone. This may just be wishful thinking on my part, but I don't think they'd be putting out all these tidbits of background info (stoking the hype fire as it were) if the Overlords weren't going up for pre-order within the next few weeks. The whole reason GW stopped announcing releases before about a week prior was because there was a drop-off in interest after the initial reveal, by the time the new release actually happened people had moved on. They'd want to take advantage of the hype they've generated and not overextend themselves. I think the safe bet is on the first few weeks of April, maybe pre-orders for the first wave up on the 1st with the releases stretched out over the following weeks.

Their accuracy is well below 25% Meanwhile other rumormongers have good track records (Hastings 81%, Atia 90% Sadpanda even higher IIRC). These guys make trash. You can take Faeit exactly at face value. It's one guy who collates rumours and he presents them as such. He is not usually a source of rumour himself.

wayniac Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Very interested about aelves, dark aelves in particular. They were my original army in 5th edition. If they get a cool gimmick and aesthetic I might jump on that, but it will suck beyond suck that they are still in Order (although hopefully a newer tome will mitigate it with specific traits/artifacts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnelian Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Also I am SO HYPED RIGHT NOW FOR WHATEVER THAT DRAGON THING IS GW have really learned a lesson recently: give all the dudes weird animals and they are 100% cooler (see Kairic Acolytes with a Vulcharc, new Stormcast with their birds and chocobos, gyrinx, roboparrot etc.) Soon it will get to the stage where if a new release doesn't have a weird super cute animal I will be devastated (can't wait for the tyranid version, those gribblies are so cute) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Marius Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Its a purple dragon, like a mini Malerion. Shadow Aelf faction for sure! That'll be five Realms with Order factions covered, Heavens Stormcasts, Fire Fyreslayers, Life Sylvaneth, Metal Kharadrons, Shadow Shadowkin (?)... now thats an alliance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 So that shadow war release date info comes from ministomp on Twitter who is an independent retailer who never gets things wrong. The date is accurate. That rumour pic is definitely an Aelf. I think we will see the full mini in 12 hours time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinros Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Honestly I do think it's malerion aelves native to Ulgu, since with the release of overlords GW kinda has the "main" races done in a sense so they could do some other factions. *looks at destruction and death* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slivarth Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Could it be one of 'em Cthulhu dragons? If yes the whole faction will be Aebsolutely Aewesome! ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayniac Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Man I was thinking of doing an Ironjawz army because they are cool after I put some money into my Eldar for 40k, but with a possible Aelf release shortly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barimbino Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That thing must be tiny, or GW's paintjobs have gone down hill somewhat. I'm saying Slaaneshi, but not aelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hmm, if it is dark aelves that might put themselves as my third army, otherwise slaanesh I'm not so fussed for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They nabbed one unit from the old models and exist in the realms but so far so do the regular orruks). For this reason i would imagine that the new Aelf releases may or may not incorporate models from the existing factions. But i honestly think they will be entirely seperate from the other Aelfs. Therefore GW could put the "Shadowkin" in any alliance they want. Also it comes back to this "definition of order" thing again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With End Times it was established that Malerion is against Chaos and now those Shadowelves are presented in the fluff very Eldar alike they are not evil but interested only in their own agenda. And they don't belong to any other alliance also when they chips are down they will fight against Chaos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daedalus81 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm hoping whatever this is that it is at Adepticon.

Circus of Paint Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm very keen to see these Aelves, before I start painting my Tenebrael Shard. I know how I want to paint it (brown-grey like the Malerion artwork) but want to know if it'll match whatever new look these Aelves have first!

My cohost for Warhammer Weekly will be at the Adepticon event this evening and we'll do our weekly show immediately after he gets out of the event. I doubt they'll allow cameras but I've told him to take copious notes. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haanz Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Kinda hoping they'll kill two birds with one stone here and make the rumoured Shadow Aelfs some sort of Necromancer/Vampire Death allegiance army. I know there's conflicting fiction on this, but Princess Eldyra of Tiranoc in one End Times lore is said to have been turned Vampire. Maybe they'll go down that route. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
