8th edition Dark Elves

[Zephyr]

Gawd! Just what I was afraid of, those heads are awful! Kids Halloween party...
Not all is lost though, I love the Black Guard helmets. If they are a dual kit as rumored I'll use their heads, cut away the plumes and green stuff the mail on the lower part of the face.
All done!

Dreadspears look quite cool O_O

How do you know when the release day is? I can never figure this out and Ive looked all over GWs website.... so frustrating!!! It just says preorders will be sent on the monday after the release day..... so when is the release day??

The new executioners are foul. They're basically copies of the Death Jester with swords replacing the Shruiken cannons. And they all seem to hold them identically! Copy/paste models for what will likely be £30 a pop? Ewww.

I loved the old Execs, they had a great sense of movement about them.

 

[Melle]

release is often one week from pre order, so saturday

 

[Zephyr]

Wish I had 60 old Execs...after moving house I only have ten left incl. command. I owned 30! Hating the new ones but I'll wait before trying to get some more in metal because of the rumors that they lost KB. If they've kept it and are still worth it I need to buy some more to get the old unit back into shape.

Hopefully the prices will be back to normal, its just insane now.

I just wish I would be happier with this release but I'm just kind of let down really. Didn't even preorder anything this time.
Will just get a book and the magic cards and see wtf happened. It's so 50-50; love this but hate that.
I might spend my cash on increasing the size of my HE and VC instead.

I'm really surprised by the new Core, I now demand new HE spearmen, archers and Silverhelms! And good zombies too!
There are so many outdated plastic kits out there, more outdated than DE spearmen.

This.

I hate those sodding skull masks, they look outdated as all bloody hell.

This guy seems to have a copy of the book,too. Rules after pictures of 2nd wave models.

I must say im quite pleased with the looks on the Black Guards but as mentioned above the helmets for the executioners are horrible .
On another note, the lore pleases me greatly! The lore attribute not so much...

 

[Corien Sumatris]

.... So the new Witch elves are really cool and the 2 big new toys.

1. Black Guard heads are ... the same as Dark Eldar heads. Like I'm pretty sure that I already own some of those heads.
2. They had to go and mess up Exie's .... Oh honey.
3. Chariots don't need wheels!!

That said, the new models for most things are really nice looking, just a bit strange.

Those warlocks are really curious O_O

 

[Adam_Barrow]

I'm not sure how the Altar thing is propelled?

 

[Corien Sumatris]

By the power of Khaine!!! Duh Adam!

 

[Adam_Barrow]

Khaine: Changing potential energy into kinetic energy since October, 2013. I'd vote for him.

 

[Corien Sumatris]

Lol, atleast it's cool looking right!! That medusa is crazy cool (Gonna be my slaaneshi Throgg) and the "Atlas" looking dude holding the bowl is gonna make a sweet terrain piece.

 

[VonDookie]

$60 for a box of 10 Witch Elves?!...

:grave: wallet...

 

[Corien Sumatris]

Yeah, I saw that too. It could be worse though, they could look ugly instead of beautiful!!

 

[Mr. West]

Check HERO's blog for the updated leaks of the past 48 hrs.. Quite interesting indeed.

 

[Corien Sumatris]

Wow, that's some stuff right there! I guess that dagger got better!!

 

[Mr. West]

Pegasus Lord with the Cloak of Twilight and a 1+ re-rollable armour save going to town on your flank ... oh yeah ... erv:

 

[Corien Sumatris]

Ughhhh, I am really not looking forward to this at all!!

 

[Mr. West]

After having read through all the 'rumours', known facts and the statements that have thus far not been documented by screenshots, the only thing I really have a hard time beliving in, is the newfound magical versatility of the Dark Elves: Where once they had access to the lores of Fire, Death, Shadow and Dark Magic, they're now supposed (not proven yet) to have access to all the BRB lores plus Dark Magic ... that plus the Tome of Furion and the Sacrifical Dagger would make them more of a magical threat than High Elves ...
:|

 

[Corien Sumatris]

Yeah, I saw that, and I pray that it isn't true. And it was even stated that their baby wizards can take all of the lores. We need to get "Forbidden Lore" and still can't get light! although we don't need it, it's the principal of it all man!!

And the Hydra's Regen got stupid good, and has 2 different shooting attacks? For less than a freaking vargulf!! ugh, disgusting.

 

[Mr. West]

We can get Light, but not Life.
I used Light extensively in a series of battles against another local VC player ... he was pretty pissed.
But alas, onto more DE stuff !
