    Dryads

  2. I use her as Branchwych
  3. Hi, I'd like to share my army painted by daredbrush studio. Idea was to make an army in winter theme with GoT White-walkers as inspiration. Dryads are converted from multiple plastic sets - DE Witch Elves, Sisters of Thorn/Shadow Warriors, Dryads,Tree-Reventants among other. Next up are : Drycha, Spirit of Durthu, Spite Revenants and Branchwych made from Mortahi model.
  4. New Aelves - PLEASE ! Would love to know what happened to Tyrion and Teclis
  5. Malerion has and artwork and it looks anything like that but that doesn't mean a thing. But could be Tyrion - sigils of winds of magic makes sense as he is connected to Teclis as well and is blind so that could be his eyes. Also maybe Araloth is set to make a return ?
  6. Yeah but waht about Lady of the Lake, didn't End Times and AoS fluff changed Bretonnia fluff too much to recover it in any form ? (unlike TK) There is no reason for Questing Knights, Grail Knights,Green Knight, Errand Knights,Lady wizards etc. to live in AoS setting,
  7. Yep but Seraphon didn't get post GH Battletome with items and lores. All new Battletomes follow the same pattern (even DoT which is bigger but there is no rules for Chaos Warriors for example) with mix of older and brand new units : - items, magic lore - certain playstyle - less flexibility in army building considering number of units, but those units may have differents uses in certain Battalions. I think it is much easier to balance Battletomes that way. I doubt we will see huge Battletomes with huge number of units.
  8. Problem with Brettonia is simple - army doesn't have any place in AoS fluff considering, I like idea of a Green Knight but still as a whole there is no place for Bretonnia. Maybe when or if Araloth Elves get a Battletome there will be some kind of Bretonnian ghost units. Also problem is how to make in line with other Battletomes. Usually Battletomes use limited number of units/characters and that's what I hated about Tomb King unoffical Battletome - too many units and too much flexibility when GW idea is clear considering brand new faction Battletomes - 4-5 new units/leaders + 3-5 older units/leaders. Look at Sylvaneth or rumored Duardin. So unless Bretonnia Battletome is limited to few units it won't work considering how Battletomes are constructed.
  9. I guess it could be Tyrion as we have seen Malerion artwork and it looka nothing like this. Also Tyrion is blind and unlike SE this masked figure deosnt have eyes
  10. Yeah I doubt they will release anything anytime soon for Stormcasts, as they needed new Battletome to be in line with post GH battletomes so they added more minis and much needed repacking of old units. Now it's time for other armies it's all speculation but I think we may see : - Dwarfs - Spring - Aelves Shadowkin and Tyrion's Elves along with Slaanesh - Summer - and then some Death Battletome maybe along with Nurgle or some Destruction - Holiday. That would mean 6-7 Battletomes in 2017 which may be too much, but Death could be moved into 2018
  11. Look Elven (could be Malekith and Tyrion is said to be blind), but could be some Dwarf - Steam Knight or whatever
  12. Yeah sure I mean Swifthawks agents could very easily be part of light elves (even then Reavers and Spireguard could get keyword). Sure it's wild speculation but I think Swifthawks Agents (Skycutters) could easily fit in with light elves,
  13. Rogue Explorator Yeah I agree with most what you wrote : couple points - I expect Malerion's Shadowkin or whatever those Aelves or other beigns are called to be more like darker 40k Eldar, they are not evil (like DE were) but all they are concerned is their own goals. Working in shadows against Chaos and anybody who is threat to them. I find that far more interesting that old DE cliche - pain, torture,emo stuff. - it's tricky how they want to release those factions because all of them - Slaanesh, Aelves, Malerion, Twins are connected in one huge story arc. And I imagine Tyrion Aelves will be different in style and approach to Malerions Elves, but they will have this connection between them not hatred. - for sure they will use a lot of exsiting models (that's what they do with every Battletome) I imagine Witch Elves, Dark Riders kits are closest in desgin to Silver Quest heroes, there is possiblity to include Shadow Warriors/Sisters kit as well (with different paint job obviously). As for Tyrion's Elves I guess there is also a lot of kits that can be used - Eternal Guards ? Skycutters ? White Lions ? I think GW will include those "newer" plastic kits along with new models and Battletomes and they will move away from mini-factions like Lion Rangers or Swifthaws Agents.
  14. Not really I guess GW can "bundle" Shadowkin(Elves of Uglu) with Slaasnesh in story arc and maybe Slaasnesh will get Elves like Tzeentch got Tzaangors 1-2 units + hero. Also I'm sure (going by all releases) that Shadowkin will use some DE units - my wild guess Witch Elves and Dark Riders. But what's get tricky were "light" Elves fit into this, I doubt that they will be released along with Shadowkin but Tyrion/Teclis are huge in that Slaasnesh story arc as both Malerion and Tyrion are looking for their people - so I guess those Elves found by them in the end will end up as theirs followers. Some will follow Malerion some Tyrion some both. But I guess they will work together against Choas not against each other. Slaasnesh will corrupt some and they will worshipp him/her and be against both "Shadowkin" and "Light Elves"
  15. I think Shadow Elves are great concept to make them working against Chaos but not really good but mysterious and horror alike. Reminds me a little about Harlequin. And could make them more interesting. What I didn't like about Dark Elves was how cartoonish they were - ultra evil straight in your face. Even High Elves in later fluff were more nuanced then DE. Shadowkin combining horror stuff with wh40k eldar mentality and being mysterious hiding in the shadows working agains Chaos but in general only for their gain would be epic concept. Also would make Aelves who follow Tyrion and Teclis not their enemies but other side of the same coin which could lead to awesome dynamics.
  16. That's easier as they can keep whole story arc releasing two big Battletomes with 3 weeks of releases for each. And on the other hand push more of those kits that they want to sell from existing Elves range (I guess Shadow Warriors/Sisters, Witche Elves, Dark Riders, Eternal Guard, Black Guard Exec etc)
  17. I am fine with Slaaneshh aelves worshippers but I don't think Malerion will be one of them. Idea of Shadowking that I like is very Eldar-alike they would be against Chaos but they will have own agenda. Both Shard and Saih from Silver Tower are able to sacrifice anything to accomplish goals. That's better that straight-up evil Dark Elves. So I guess we will get two Elves factions (Shadowkin and Light Elves) in GA Order (and maybe even some shared battalions as Tyrion and Malerion were/are working together to save their people and Teclis was working with Malekith even before that) and my wild guess is that Slaasnesh elves will be subfaction in Disciples of Slaasnesh Battletome like Tzaangors are in DoT ( 2-3 units + 2 characters one being Morathi I guess) That's nice summer release idea : - Shadowkin and Light elves Battletome (or even one big Tzeentch alike Aelves Battletome as those Elves that Tyrion and Malerion went after will probably worshipp both them as gods) problem is how many big kits they want to push I guess Malerion and Tyrion/Teclic ( twins could be one kit I guess as Tyrion is using Teclis eyes to see) would be big Alarielle,Nagash alike kits - Disciples of Slaanesh Battletome with Elves worhshippers)
  18. I don't play Stormcast so question - how hard it is to use those 2 battalions ?
