The Slaaneshi Cults of the Druchii were long established in Old World lore Know about them, I just don't like it. As an offshoot faction maybe, ok, but what AOS needs now in my opinion is regular aelves. Now what regular aelves are in the mortal realms I don't know, but I do not want em to be chaos worshippers....shadow aelves is fine by me but no chaos please I find it odd if they bring on shadow aelves and they have no affliction to malerion which is the deity malekith turned into as far as I know... as I said. It's my opinion. I understand I'm in a minority 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galas Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah, we need dark aelves loyal to Malerion. And in the future, slaaneshi aelves with the proper slaanesh release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand I'm in a minority Exactly, and Malekith was always against Choas (unless he wanted to use them as allies to conquer Ulthuan) also he got a little better with End Times, so Shadow Kingdom suits him well as it still could be cruel and dark but not evil per se. I guess some Slaaneshi Aelves could show up in Disciples of Slaasnesh or whatever Slaanesh battletome will be called (1-2 units + one hero + maybe Morathi as Drycha size named leader) that makes more sense then whole Slaaneshi Aelven faction.

The ogre that just released has a pretty unique anatomy sculpt to it though. As far as ogres go, I mean. And is a great sculpt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Marius Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It might be worth noting that GWs Order faction releases are all tied to a single god eg Fyreslayers Grimnir, Kharadrons Grungni, Stormcasts Sigmar, Sylvaneth Alarielle. Id expect the first aelf release to be the chosen representatives of either Malerion or Tyrion, and rumours point to Malerion. I'd also suggest there is no longer a high/dark split for aelves - the End Times made a big point of uniting the race, as we're seeing in 40k currently!

So a new kind dark and high dichotomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me appreciate the tragedy of Teclis mucking up giving Malekith the Wind of Fire in ET Khaine still. What would Fire Aelves be like!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of both races being 'blind' for different reasons (too much light, too much darkness). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In so far there's no mention on their ties, but I think we will see some sort of cult of grungi a la ferengi from star trek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Wouldn't it be great if the Aelves were released as a Yin/Yang faction, Light and Dark in the same battletome, and you could either get bonuses for harmony, or for going fully one side. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that idea. Now just up to 11 the characteristics of the High/Dark Elves: I want my light elves to be totally d*cks and so up in his high moral horse that they can't look down!

KillagoreFaceslasha Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'd like it. Maybe for second edition? Who knows. Luckily enough the mask we got in the first announcement of adepticon will belong to light aelf and they'll be together in the battletome.

If shadow aelves are close with tentacled creatures, winged lampreys and other creatures from their environment why wouldn't they be the 'sea forest' Aelves scratching that same itch. They could be druidic and wholly in touch with nature - their own environment - and that environment just happens to be like the sea floor. I love the idea of bonuses for mixing the two types and different bonuses for being pure light or shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this idea. They could even give a little nod to the eastern source of that idea.
