I stopped playing my HE when they dropped Alarielle and her Girly Guard from the model range, it would be nice if they brought them back.

I dont know what the rumours are like concerning up and coming army books, but I would find it odd if they put a couple of armies in there that have old books and arent planned for the reasonabley near future
High elves I can definately see in starter set, skaven im not so sure about. But then if I look at the "evil" armies that have recent books i can kind of see where its coming from, high elves on dark elves would be a cool set for me though :P.
I don't think Skaven vs. High Elves would be that strange at all. In fact the clan rats look like they belong in a starter box, they are almost all one piece. Also if we look back at past starter sets we can see that skaven have never been done... maybe its time? There have been some pretty wonky box sets. I mean we had Bretonnia vs Lizardmen... two factions that never interact.. lol. Skaven and High Elves isn't that far fetched.
I can see HE, but skaven? That's just not a hot seller. I think gw was pretty foolish to stick goblins (not orcs) in the current starter set.
If the starter set has greenskins (orcs), dwarves, empire or HE, I'll probably pick it up. anything else...probably not, skaven makes no sense what so ever.
My guess if this is true we will see plastic skavenslaves...
I guess we need to wait and see...
I kind of doubt that. I think Clan Rats are the most likely.Quote:

I'm also hearing rumours of a HE griffon in the new starter box.
if the griffon is true, HE's might either be redone to allow them on heroes or it will be a 2k box :)
actually no. One of the biggest rumours is that the game is going back to %.Quote:

One of the most persistant rumours suggestions is that characters will be limited to 25% max of your points allotment, core 25min-50max% with special and rares capped lower then the cores, but no miniumum.
So in fact the HE could take a lord choice in lower games as long as he takes up no more the 25% of the total cost of the army!
But time will tell.
tbh i hope not, MAX CORE???? that will screw over some armies, also how will HE benefit for less amounts
The rumour percentages vary.
I can't really see a max limit on core, for pretty much for the reasons you stated - however - that might be why HE may be getting redone sooner then later, since there book really limits their core options. (which I wouldn't be happy about since my army got skipped in 7th)
Also something to consider: with combat changed to something like: you always get strikebacks as long as you have models left in the unit, will really make ASF almost worthless.
