Overread Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Well he's clearly shed the cone-helm addiction, but I'm not sure if moon crest helms are the way forward! Epic looking and nice to see GW teasing a bit more of the pointy aelves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothmaug Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 The Teclis article also shows Model renditions of his sword and staff, which tie to some of the previous rumor engine photographs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan's Cynic Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That design would not be out of place in WHFB. I think that means we're going to see more of an 'update' of the old High Elf models akin to the new Warriors of Chaos, rather than a major new re-design which just calls back to it. Would certainly explain why so much of their stuff in CoS got squatted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Didn't expect this before LVO. It's a big headdress but the Moon Staff and his sword are pretty clearly updates to his old ones. They look more proportional too, thank you modern sculpting. Overall, looking at the armour, it's surprising how traditionally Ulthuan-style his clothes are. I know GW said they were going that way but that might as well be the apparel of a High Elf champion. If anything it's less ornate than old Teclis. Will be interesting to see how much that comes through on the rest of the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch, they're gonna worship the moon and everything now For real though, that design looks sweet! And it's not really Night Elves (armor design is pretty distinct and mostly looks like a throwback to High Elves in Warhammer), but I'm going to love all the memes that will inevitably draw comparisons. Comments will be popcorn worthy for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments will be popcorn worthy for sure! Elves in Warhammer have always worshipped a moon god. Og Teclis had a crescent moon on his hat, and a lot of shields and trinkets on both the dark elves and high elves depict moons as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 How soon everyone foegets that much of Warcraft in general was taken from Warhammer. And it's almost like Blizzard sent people into GW to look at Tyranid designs for their Zerg.... 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I really like that design! The impractically of that moon aside, it's a surprisingly clean look. Really soothes my worries that the Hysh Aelves were going to be so blinged out as to be Deepkin on steroids, or too full of little breaky bits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Teclis is always in good relationship with lileath, goddess of the moon And considering Tyrion now is the god of light, aka the sun, his brother representing the moon makes perfect sense 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I hope we'll get a lot more of these previews, like with the sisters of battle. I really enjoy seeing the 3D renders. The high elves were my first love when I started warhammer almost 20 years ago, and I still love them. When Age of Sigmar dropped I decided I wouldn invest to much in a new army until the light elves would be released. I was fearfull that they would dissapoint when they finally dropped, but this preview and the artwork looks amazing! the artwork still has all the appeal of the original high elves. I am wondering about the glowing discs on teclis and also about his staff. It seems like he is still wielding the staff of Lileath... So what about her? Iḿ planning on really enjoying all the snippets of info until the actual release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice shock to read about and looking forwards to the reveal next week. Hopefully means models are by March as I have some vouchers I need to use by then 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmaster Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Quite happy that the High Elf fans like them. Your turn, guys! 😊 Right now I’m asking myself if that means that many armies ARE planned to be dual use once the Old World returns... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That would be amazing actually! I am slowly getting into AOS, but my first love is always going to be the Old World. Being able to cross systems with the same models would make my better half happy as well since she constantly complains about space issues....

HollowHills Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I hope this doesn't mean idoneth are getting abandoned. If the narrative is just "Teclis fixed elves these guys are perfect" it will be a real shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the narrative is just "Teclis fixed elves these guys are perfect" it will be a real shame. On the other hand, if the Teclis Aelves are getting the classic revised High Elf Look, it leaves creative room to go more in the Cthulhu Sea Monsters direction with upcoming Idoneth kits 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the narrative is just "Teclis fixed elves these guys are perfect" it will be a real shame. I really don't think so. I think with 2.0 battletomes GW has committed itself to supporting those armies. The only ones that "might" vanish could be something like Legions of Nagash where I'd expect it to just vanish into a "Grand Alliance Death" force. Though I'd actually say legions are superior as you get to have flavour from all the armies of death, but with its own balance and also with limitations on what can and can't be taken. Rather than proper GA armies where its everything and can run the risk of higher imbalance. If anything I'd expect armies like Idoneth to get more releases to bulk them up. Sometimes a small army isn't as interesting because its tactics and model offerings aren't as diverse. I know I had no interest in Genestealer cults when they were first released - now if I got my Tyranids going again I'd certainly want the stealers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
