    The Rumour Thread

    @Kugane, wonderfully written.

    I'm looking forward to the explanation of the runes. With the death of the elven pantheon the structure of the elves died too, I'm rather interested how the writers will create the new elven myth of how the universe is structured and relations of the LRL to it.

    Does anybody else feel like this? That you are conflicted about the aesthetics of a single Model range?

    I don't feel conflicted. I don't like the model for Teclis but the rest is pretty neat and want to see the rest of the line. There was an interest from my side for the Deepkin, but the ordinary infantry is simply not elfin to me, the elites and heroes are nice but in the end I think that's not enough of a reason for me.

    They are elves after all, and based on the information we get, they are much more proper than murder or soul stealing ones.

    They'll have a role to play, however the narrative is strongly focused on Sigmar. I'll be quite happy with more actors on the scene and taking the spotlight from him, even for a brief moment.

    It would be nice to be able to build an army of 'High Elves' or whatever they end up being with charters and plenty of supporting units, rather than one godlike model and a few sidekicks in tow.

    This is also my preferred way to play.

    Will we see the old 'First Strike' type elves rule come back?

    I wouldn't be surprised. High initiative is what set the elves apart from others, but they've lost it with the changes done to the system. The theme for Hysh so far has been a generation of command points and command ability that grants the strike first in the combat phase. At the very least I expect traits that will allow additional command points to be generated. I'd be really glad, if we got some neat command abilities.

    I was talking to friends, and they said Teclis has four mirrors attached on his belt. Anyone wants to speculate what those could be? Reflecting enemy spells?

    What kinds of weird units do you want to see?

    Definitely an "elven Valkyrie" along with elementals or spirits of Hysh, would be neat, if you could summon them. I do hope there will be a terrain that will integrate the "stained-glass" motive, it's something I'm very fond of, bonus, if it depicts a creation myth.

    My other wishlist is for Swordmasters of Hoeth (an equivalent anyway).

    Feeling rather positive, we're going to see something like them. In the StD tome is a story of how the Chaotic Sphiranxes came to be, it's written:
     

    Quote

    Once, the Sphiranxes were an order of Hyshian mystics...
    ... served Teclis as custodians of esoteric treasures. Yet little by little, the Sphiranxes’ noble ideals were polluted...

    ... Hounded by Teclis and the military orders of Hysh, they slunk away into the dark corners of the Eightpoints to seethe over the perceived injustices done to them...

     

    Military orders could be non-elven, however it feels a rather fitting task for a unit that's based on Sword Masters.

    With what they've been saying about Teclis trying to recreate the past, do you think the factions will be based on old Ulthuan, or the new cultures that have sprung up on Hysh since AOS?

    Sometimes things simply cannot be put back together, the provinces with their unique structure are gone. The Cythai weren't named Asur or any derivation of it, the city the Teclis build isn't named "New Lothern", furthermore it isn't healthy to force the new culture into something that was, leaving it no room to grow on its own. I feel we might see few battalions that would act as a "remembrance formation", but sub factions are likely going to reflect the needs and culture of these new elves.

    I'd rather like to have rules for the task force that needs to purify the lingering corruption of chaos, nothing fancy, perhaps if they include the elemental shield that the discontinued Archmage had, it grants the "ignore  mortal wound on 5 rather than 6".  Others would be in the line of move before the game starts, shot and then move, re-roll for charge and mount attacks, come to think of it, the "Martial Defence" from the Spire of the Dawn would be neat.

    I don't necessarily regret buying into SCE for AOS, but I have always regretted not going High Elves in WHFB... so I'm so pumped to see high fantasy high elves

    Same. I have about 1300 points of SCE but I haven't put them on table in ages. I've started CoS not so long ago, so I hope there will be a way to get the Phoenix Guard or Sisters of the Watch into the army.

    Ranging from Space Marines to Idoneth to various cultists.

    You reminded me on a sketch in "if the Emperor had text to speech podcast", where Helbrecht has a mental break down after confronting the Emperor, and he screams in frustration: "LOATHE THE HAIRLESS HEAD FOR IT IS IMPURE!"

    Holy ****** as a balding guy with glasses this hits home. F you Teclis! You're not the boss of me

    Easy there, baldness in a certain percentage of population in exchange for purity of spirit would be a good outcome. Remember that Teclis during his mortal years was considered a cripple and was in essence an outcast, how much he remembers or carries weight now is unknown to me.

    The Asur were flexible, if a bit generic army. The changes to initiative was what hurt elves the most, it was something they were known to have. We might see "strike first" command ability or perhaps as a rule on certain units. I feel it's going to be an army that will have few units that have "hate chaos" in their profile, Hysh is one of the realms that was hit hard by the Chaos.

    When it comes to selection of spells I see few options. Two lores to choose from (high or light), or one major and one minor, or only one lore but the spellcasters have a spell from high or light by default. Magic was one of the strong areas that elves had, I don't think they'll be simply mediocre.

    I think there's a chance we're going to see dragons, however I have no interest in them, either way GW decides is fine with me.
