in real life spears are faster AND have a longer reach. its why with evenly matched opponents spear beats sword 80-90% of the time

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.

wouldn't a lack of faction terrain be unbalanced? its basically an additional allegiance ability and it can be used for area control. plus it wouldn't be that hard to make, and allows them to sell more stuff to people who already have full collections aswell as encourages new players and unless i am mistake all 2.0 tomes have had it. and while you may potentially be correct you also have no real evidence to base this idea off of other then the tome is only old range stuff (but so were a number of other factions) and that its a combination tome. If it wasn't squatted it is here to stay for a long while, or should be. and if so there so no reason not to have terrain.

my bet would be they do it when their new production facilities are done + 2months for stockpileing.

I didn't mention them as they are ex-fantasy and thus to someone who thinks horses aren't a thing would say they are just place holders

horses are the perfect mounts for a regular human faction's low 'tier' cavalry (especially a potenital battle line one) as it helps make the fantastical stuff look more fantastical (just like regular humans help make super humans or similar look super). aditionally they are already semented in the lore by the presence of nighthaunt undead horses, and horses are no doubt cheaper then fantastical mounts (or they wouldn't be used, which the lore is clear they are) and thus make the perfect mass cavalry mount.

I am not really annoyed or angry but thought this would be fun to do anyway... FOR THE LADY

[insert joke about it being a teaser for primaris battletome release so they can be used in both 40k and AOS]

there was already a law suite that Marvel filded with GW, and lost. it turned out that both appeared at the same time in the respective universes (or so I was told), apparently Malekith was changed for name recognition. if you google Malekith you'll largely get Marvel stuff, if you google the horus heresy or horus lupercal you get 40k stuff

wanderers are definitely in the CoS, as they feature prominently in the displays for that tome, so what they have left should be fine (underline should be),

I for one will wait for the battletome before I call out nerfs as for squatting, I don't mind it if you can still use the army as something else (squat armies are still out there playing as imperial guard), but things like the skycutter and cannon have no use as alternative

there are night haunt units riding undead regular horses, those had to come from somewhere

I still think the artillery was overly odd (considering the mercenaries), do you think new kitts are a possibility, like perhaps we get new cannons instead of a new hero like other battle tomes get (as there are already plenty of CoS heroes.

yeah, and if they were squatting Dispossessed completely they would have done so like Order draconis. intill they get updated use proxies. use warriors as Ironbreakers or freeguild guard. etc

@Kugane no what i mean is they have last chance to buy label on them, but are temporarily out of stock. doesn't last chance to buy mean they are being squatted. example the blackark corsairs are temporarily out of stock but not last chance to buy (and thus are probably just getting a new box and new round bases), but the skycutter is both temporarily out of stock but also last chance to buy.

so do you think shadow warriors will replace glade guard as the wanderer's generic archers since all other swifthawk stuff is going away or do you think they will throw them in with what they plan to do with them Phoenix boys?

question: why do some of the last chance to buy stuff have the the Temporarily out of stock Online if they are going away. why not just say they are no longer available if they are out of stock? why is a last chance to buy thing "temporarily"? its confuseing

I think people wanted the 6th edition type wardancers not the 3rd edition mohawks. personally not a fan of any of those looks. much prefure the 2/3 looks wanderers currently (wild rider look, eternal guard look and glade guard look[which is also similar to tww wardancers]) additionally I am not a fan of the lack of armour, we already have 2 factions of bare chested aelves and a faction of bare chested fauns, did we really need more bare chests? yeah I would have preferred it if all of them had the archer's armour and more had the centaur's helmet or atleast something similar (i mean just imagine the cool contrast we could of had; bare chested barbaric fauns fighting helmeted and leather armoured graceful fauns) now I can always kitbash so whether I get the AoS army that may come out for them will depend on how they play and what the center piece model is

not hugely interested in the conscept of beast-aelves, and if I wanted to play with fauns and centaurs I'd play beasts of chaos. that being said I am mildy interested to see what their lore is (especially as they are called aelf-like which implies they were not orginally aelves) and what their army will look like (whether they will be combined with wanderers, aswell as what other stuff will they have?) like most of the new stuff, I find them unorginal and uninteresting, but see their potential with a few kit bashes (but thats just me)

does FW stuff ever appear in the rumor engines? (I don't believe so, but asking just in case) the reason I ask is a few days ago (the 18th July) Chris Vera posted a teaser for a new Aeldari book that is going to be released soon, Andrew Hollis's project (so I expect 30k or atleast FW) the post; "Hey guys! Just a teaser for Andrew Hollis's project - some art he commissioned me to do for his latest book. My interpretations of ancient eldar and dino-rid-uurh... exodites Look out for the full reveal soon! Enjoy PS. Available for commissions." and the runes on the first 2 pictures remind me of this edit: I know its not really a AoS thing but it could be related to the 'Aelf' rumor engines

well free peoples represents all regular humans includeing those that did not flee, but even those who fled still had to fight every inch f that retreat.

considering many night haunt models have horses, horses definitely exist in the mortal realms (thus one cannot argue that we still have horses due to the old world) personally I hope that we eventually get a dynamic horse kit/s that also allow you to build a more fantastical beast (quarter-hippogryphs?)

Lileath was killed by teclis so he could take her remaining powers (she had given most of her power to her unnamed daughter who became the new lady of the lake who along with the grail knights and some wood elves and bretonians went to a pocket realm, which was then hinted to be destroyed and not destroyed [I think GW at the time wanted it open ended so they could bring back Bretonians or their spiritual descendants if they ever felt like it, yet not be in a position where they had to keep the old range nor feel forced to ever keep them) Leon Leoncoeur was also deified (and the green knight was hinted at doing so aswell) nope, it was speculated in universe to have been destroyed but later hinted to not have been. chaos know of it but considering how long it took them to destory the world that was its unrealistic for them to simply squat it FYI.

I kind of hope they are destruction aelves rather than wanderers (it would be interesting), but that increases the chances of old wanderers being squated which is unlikely as they are in CoS

well there is also the updating of warscrolls, and other tome related things wanderers will be getting aswell as the opportunity to have squatted wood elf stuff brought back into the army by way of proxying other factions stuff and useing the same city. aswell as the option to kit bash stuff from the other factions to make new units with the wanderer aethetic
