  1. @Aren73 If it makes you feel any better, I feel your pain.  I've been a high elf player for 25 years.  I was beyond stoked when the initial Lumineth rumors came out.....until they stopped, and half the army were cow heads, with more named characters than not, and no warrior characters.  I bought the initial box, but what little if the army there was, and the cow heads, killed my enthusiasm. Luckily, the second wave gave us models I do like, enough to ignore the parts that aren't for me.

    All I can say is, if there are parts you like, collect and paint those.  And hold out hope they may add stuff you do like!

    buy a mega gargant and a kragnos. if they allying rules stack you can just run 2 models for like 1k+ points. Really cost effective. 

    Then add Gordrakk and a Frostlord and you have the starting line-up for Destruction!

  3. @Deakz28 I predict that there will be absolute carnage with Kragnos, Kroak, the Slaaneshi Twins, Gordrakk, the Sylvanth, and the Stormcast beating the snot out each other....

    ....and then in a brief snippet in the background we see Malerion say, "And that, Be'lakor, is how you do a 'Just As Planned.' "

  4. A true elf accepts the disdain and vitriol of their lessers as a fine wine to savor in the night before a warm fire in a comfy chair.

    Also, as someone who lived through the dark days of WHFB 6th edition and the Intrigue at Court rule, I can only laugh at players who think elves have always had it good.  You don't know fustration as a player until you lose an entire tournament because the dice decided that your Leadership 10, 600+ point prince on a dragon with all the bells and whistles isn't your general.  Instead your spindly 180 point scroll caddy wizard is.  And he got sniped by a lucky cannon shot in turn 1.

  5. Sadly, my LGS kepps having to close down their open play area, so no gaming for me at the moment.  It's made doubly fustrating because the crab joint next door is doing rediculous amounts of business....

    On the plus side, I think I've nailed down my color scheme for my first several units, so the painting can finally commence!

  6. @Cronotekk Something similar happened back when they made the switch to 6th WHFB.  It's system was so radically different that they made a pamphlet called Ravening Hordes to tide people over till they got an army book.  Now this was pre-internet days, but I still think it would be a painful transition like 6th was.

  7. The silouettes on the the tendrils aren't the same.  That rumors engine has tyrannid style exoskeleton portion toward the end.  Meanwhile, the teaser picture has thorny looking parts coming off.  Also, the hand and pointed ear lends itself to either an elf or vampire model.

    Not going to lie, I thought it was a redone Lady Olyndar at first till I enlarged the picture.

  8. @Siegfried VII I agree.  The breakdowns on not just what the list does, but what each unit is trying to accomplish and why certain battalions were chosen was really good.  That final list they went over almost made me want to play Alarith from a tactical perspective.  And I think one of the most interesting take-aways was the line, "The Loremaster is a character you start all of your listbuilding from, and then justify why not to take him, instead of the other way around."   I actually want to give it a second listen when I'm not at work and can concentrate fully on what they're talking about.
