The elemental is nifty, not sure I'll buy it any time soon, I don't use beasts much. Love the standard bearer, no place for it in any of my armies though. Still, nice model, Warhammer Forge has the wight idea.:rolleyes:

Ooh that pun was so bad it made me nauseous.

Wight Standard looks lovely. I think I like the elemental, but like you don't know when I'd ever use it. Makes me interested in the future elementals though, for sure.

Oh Eldargal, such a bad pun. You got what you deserved.

The models are great (such a shock, coming from forgeworld); I like the Wight itself a lot more then the standard it carries, but still a great model.

The best thing about the Beast, is that it hints that there could be up to 7 more of these things (one for each common spell domain). I can guess at what some of those might look like.
I like the rules too, they seem balanced enough. They seem incomplete though, like who can take it and what slot it falls into; probably a bound creature for SoM, requiring a mage with the right spell lore.

What I'd really like is if they made a wizard for lore of Beasts to go with said elemental!

[Multigeneral]

Amen

The Wight's got the pleasing standard of quality we've all come to associate with Forgeworld, but damn does that Beasts Elemental ever rule. It's weird and a little creepy in a way we don't often see from GW anymore.

The standard bearer looks really nice, and the elemental would be a cool idea if you wanted to theme an army along one line of magic, considering the rules all but confirm there will be one for at least each of the 8 main lore's. Not sure if I would use an elemental but I think it could certainly work with a heavily converted force to look really nice, or just add to SoM game, I don't think the rules are too unbalanced, it's basically a dragon with different abilities.
