Wood Elves Rumor Roundup

[Chronowraith]

Because both Orion and Ariel would be monstrous infantry or straight-out monsters. Clamshell packs are one thing. I can't remember the last time they came out with a plastic kit for a special character that wasn't combined with something else (Durthu being a prime example of special character combined with plastic kit). Since Ariel and Orion are unique in their appearances I doubt we will ever see them in plastic since they really don't share an aesthetic with anything else in the WE army.

Erm. That new Wood Elf?

Treekin stats are up on iTunes. They drop in points substantially but they lose a point of strength. They might have other rules available to them but it's blocked out by the rule blurb. Interesting that they now have a BS skill. That happened to Ushabti and they gained the ability to take great bows (not that anyone does).




Overall they have the initial appearance of being less resilient and less killy but far cheaper. We'll see if they are given anything additional a week from today I suppose.

Looks like they bagged Scaly Skin of some kind.

Can anyone confirm if that's new or not?

[Chronowraith]

They had scaly skin of 4+ previously. Looks to be the same.

[Mr Mystery]

Fair enough!

Forget Orion; Orion has a model that's on sale right now. It's Ariel that we'll all be disappointed if she's left out of the new armybook when Alarielle managed to return to the High Elf one.

And I have no idea why you'd think Ariel would be monstrous infantry.

[Chronowraith]

Because her previous model was on a 50mm base.

Did anyone else notice the "green horses" on the 6th image of the White Dwarf magazine???

Are the WE horses possibly ethereal???, It's on the page with the Shadowdancer model.

Rumors are that those are the Stag Cavalry we will be seeing released in a couple weeks (and up for preorders next weekend).
