This. Cant stress this enough.

I was thinking about it: How many units are "mountain specific"? The Big Cow dual kit Wizard on the rock Hammer guys. The other units are "generic" and will be the Lumineth core. Considering only 3 of those kits are Montain and maybe the hammer unit will be a dual kit, it wouldnt take much to at least have 2 elements on this release. Curious about saturday.

Do you belive we are gona see a second element in this release, or just a full montain range?

I saw those and kinda like the greek ones but the fact that they got no "face" under the helmet didnt hit it for me. The tops are interesting if you decide to clip the top of the helmets!

I feel like they will be hard to find on bits market unless they come in large quantity on the sprues.

Assembled 5 saurus knights mounts.

I have that feeling too. I dare to say its legs should be..... beefier.

From what i can gather from a lot of people on social medias, nos everyone is happy about the "exotic" headgear on the new Elves. Including me. So i decided to create this topic as an exercise on headswaps BASED ON WHAT WE SEEN SO FAR. (so far all we got is the Montain section of the army) The Heroes: Celennar - Sphiranx. Still not sure about the size or fit to the head, but Free Guild griffon or Phoenix might apply. Teclis - Idoneth Aspects seen to have the correct helmet size. Light of Eltharion - I really love this model Helmet and have no suggestion of what to replace it, considering it is an empty helmet. Perhaps a Stormcast Mask? Wizard on Stone (couldnt find his/her name!) - Any traditional old school helmet or face should do the trick. A Sister of the Watch face is a good call if you want it to be a she. Another cool option would be using the Phoenix Guard leader helmet and painting it on the same stone pattern as the rest of the model. Female Wind/River/Veil wizard - Same as above, but still soon to say considering that we do not have a good picture of her yet. The Troops! For all the troops, Phoenix Guard, Eternal Guard, Shadow Warrior/Sisters of the Watch and Dragon princes are great choices for conversions. Vanari Auralan Wardens (Spear guys) - Love the Leader Helmet but not to keen on the plumes of the others. As usual, Phoenix Guard helmets could do the trick. If i pick the army, personally i will cut the plumes (or glue it) sideways to make mohawks out of then. Vanari Dawnriders (Cavalry) - I love this helmets, but if you dont, Dragon Princes helmets are also pretty cool. Alarith Stoneguard (hammer guys) - 2 ways to solve the issue : Remove the bull top (it will look just like a traditional High Elf helmet) or use the bull heads on the model as the helmets. Both should work. Another option can be Phoenix Guard or Eternal Guard. Auralan Sentinels (archers) - Not the best, not the worse helmets imo. Given the mixed genders, Shadow warriors/Sisters of the watch can be an option. Sisters of the Thorn/Wild Riders MAY fit but not sure about it. Annnd the Cow overlords... This is a hard one imo and i belive many people will come with good options. Sphiranx head is a candidate. I belive i would try the Treelord myself (considering the trees in the back i THINK it might look good. Now you guys, leave your feedback and ideas!

The Dawnriders Helmets (and Eltharion) are the best looking ones. If the whole army used those, i would be sold.

Tom nailed exactly what i feel about it. My hope is : 1- Another faction for Tyrion 2- a diferent visual identity per subfaction, like Akhelians and Namarti. The helmets are just terrible.

To me the frustration comes from the fact that High Elves were sold and played for years, then removed. Months later GW makes a trailer about " Pointy Elves" with pictures of classic models and artwork. It said we had fish elves, tree elves and snake elves now it was time for Pointy ones. Aaaand we get Cow Elves. You bet i am frustrated in exchanging Lions, Phoenix, Eagles, Dragons and Griffons for cattle and giant horned hats.

Lumineth Cattle Lords

My depression has been keeping me away from painting. It is a condition i had before the quarentine and makes me really sleepy. (to make it clear, other than that i am fine) My current goal is to start small with a 5 unit of mounts of Saurus knights (i am still not sure about weapon builds and stuff from the new BT so the mounts are a safe thing to do without further research).

Here is disagree with you. It could be a wonderfull bridge bettween Old World fans from the PC games and AOS. It would also sell very well among AoS players.

Imo: Old World uses round bases on retangular/square inserts. Give then rules for AoS even if they are not "officially" into the setting. Would be the best of both Worlds (no pun intended)

IMO that was poorly written. "Oh look here is the Lumineth! Oh forget it, Mary Sue Archeon just walked in there and owned the probably most secure place in the Realm of Light offscreen!" "Super Mario Star invulnerable Archeon" is a pretty dull plot device.

Melusai archers. Expensive and out of place in the army. They lool awesome tho.

My Skinks are the Starpriests, edited the list. Using 3 Dinos would brake the 2 Behemoth limit tho (is an upgraded Vanguard). Would the Skinks be usefull on this list? (Maybe as extra bodies)

I used to collect Lizardmen when i was a teen but never really liked the Seraphon Skink Spam any fun. With 2.0 i feel like dusting off my lizards but i am overwhelmed with the amount of choices, so i decided to call for help from the Old Bloods. I need ideas for 1500 pts ( 2 battlelines) with at least 2 big models (because dinossaurs) buying the least amount of models. Here is what i got: Slann 2 Skink StarPriest Carnossaur (no rider yet) Bastilodon (on sprue) Stegodon Troops 30 Skinks 15 Saurus Knights 10 Saurus Guard 10 Saurus Warriors 3 Pterodactyl I was thinking Coalesced Koatl's Claw? Ideas?

I belive this guy was the last High Elf model. Imo he and the Dragon Noble were the coolest looking High Elves. Considering the Twins artwork on that "Aelves page" i was hoping to see a modern take on the winged helmets. The sculpts we got (with the exception of Teclis himself) look really good but i just cant stand the helmets.

You are absolutly correct! 🤣

I wanted High Elves sooo much and i am disapointed. The whole "Pointy Elves" marketing led me to belive on tall winged helmets of old and man... The horns look ridiculous, the plumes on the infantry make no sense (hope they never fight with the wind behind then, lancers are gona eat those plumes) and archer helmets are meh. In the end of the day, the only units (so far) i actually loved 100% were the cavalry and Eltarion. The wizard is awesome until you look at the stupid horns. Unless there are alternative heads or another wave of better looking models, i am out. Not really in the mood to headswap half and army.

Same...

I think the veiled one will look good "zoomed out" but yeah, i share your felings. I hope ther eis a "Tyrion half" to be revealed with a diferent look in the heads/helmet department

I have the full high elf range. Angry is ok, the Horns and the cloth around it is awfull. Glad i have a bag of elven heads for swaps lol
