LuminethMage Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 So, looking at the intro picture of the Lumineth Dawnriders, the background is interesting. What's up with this guy here? Looks like he has some very heavy armour and fights with a heavy two-handed weapon. Doesn't that look a bit like the hammer we saw a few weeks ago in one of the rumours? The armour also shares that broker earthen style with the hammer picture. So some kind of mountain elite warrior with a two-handed hammer? On the other side of the rider is what looks like a spearman we have seen with no "broken" armour. So the Danwrider update might have been even more interesting : ) l 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius501 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 If this is what the hammer unit looks like then I could get behind it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypephoon Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 That is 150 billion % the hammer unit, so it looks like that's happening for sure. Dual kit with swords maybe? Can't see them not giving them 2 warscroll/weapon options at the least. I am starting to get spooked about no dragons. If that ends up being the case I guess Shadow Elves will be the dragon focused faction as Malekith fused with his. Maybe that's the angle we will see between the 2 factions, one more regal and proud and one more mysterious and beastful (creature wise). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmanko Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 too little model selection, only 2 troop + 2 heroes can it really form its own army? Ossiarch Bonereapers got so much more choice than we do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, until yesterday I thought Tyrion will fly in on a dragon. So who knows. But definitely looks more like the Lumineth getting some kind of Phoenix.

Koradrel of Chrace Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 That looks like infantry more than cavalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @JackStreicher Could be. In the background there is something that could be a war machine, or even an earth elemental. It's really hard to tell though. I was more thinking that this might mean we get one elite unit for every of the 4 elementals. This being the mountain one (because of the earthen look, and the heavy armour), and one more for the other three. Maybe two dual kits? There must be at least one which looks a bit more graceful. After all Teclis is involved. Anyway, I love that they really gave the aelves a hammer unit. Really cool. Take that Duardin! (You could also say that the elves finally saw the light and copied dwarf weap.... Thud!) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius501 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) For anyone who looks at the DakkaDakka forum, is it unable to load for you guys? I haven’t been able to load the forum for 2 days now. Also I’m now quite keen to see the hammer unit in the flesh. I was quite skeptical to begin with of an elf hammer unit, but that art looks quite interesting, the armour is quite cool looking.

Koradrel of Chrace Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @Tiberius501 Dakka's working fine for me, is the page not loading for you, or is it saying the site is down? I'm not sure how I feel about the hammers. They might be a little too "WOW Paladin" for me, but if they manage to make them cool I'll probably still play them.

Tiberius501 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) @Koradrel of Chrace it keeps telling me that my web browser couldn’t load the page, even though I can use the internet fine with everything else. It’s a little bit bizarre haha. and I’m still hoping they’ll have a sword option, but I think I can get behind them with hammers if it’s the only option. As long as that art reflects how they look in reality. Edited February 25, 2020 by Tiberius501 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever they're called, I hope they have a warscroll as I have two Spire of Dawn Phoenix waiting in hope. I'm not sure if there is an actual real world plural for Phoenix as mythologically there was only ever one. So any way is the correct way and the consensus will out.

Acid_Nine Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Well now that I see the model I really couldn’t be happier for hammer elves, and along with koradrel I will eat my crow. I think they are using the hollow hammer head, but those detail aside that background picture makes them look bloody cool... and I am happy they are flesh and blood elves rather than elementals! Maybe they are hopped up on special elemental spirits compared to the elves normal allotment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 So may be a hammer unit with the metal hammers and a named charecter with the black on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chumphammer Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 So I well expect: Teclis as seen Tyrion with Dragon/mount The medium cav knights A heavy knight type (maybe on drakes) The spearmen unit (with archer option) Swordman/hammer unit Artilary peice (maybe 2 options like bolt thrower but have to choose with. Does either many normal shots or 1 magical special shot. Or different 1 off ammo types like the crawler) The armour suit model (Eltherion) Support caster Support mounted hero If they have been building this for a while and on the old high elf theme, I think this is will be the set up Gives 2 big lords 3 Hero choices (Caster, mounted hero, armour suit) 3 Battle line (med cav, archer, spears) 3 Other (Heavy cav, hammers, swords) 1 Artillery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
