Incoming: High Elves

This October is devoted to the scions of Asuryan, as we release a series of new High Elf miniatures.
m1310412a_High_Elf_Incoming_600x400.jpg

The High Elves are the noblest of races, the remnant of a once-mighty civilisation that spanned the globe. The titanic destruction unleashed by the Daemons of Chaos and the monstrous betrayal of the Dark Elves left their nation a shadow of its former might and glory, and yet the High Elves fight on. For millennia they have stood sentinel against the depredations of Chaos, thwarting the machinations of the Dark Gods over and again, and though their population has dwindled, the skill and determination of their armies remains steadfast.

In battle, the armies of the High Elves are a glorious sight to behold. Ranks of elite soldiers clad in unspotted white and glittering silver stand against the dark tide of the Forces of Destruction. With a mystical grace and agility that is incomparable to the lumpen, slothful gestures of lesser mortals, they cleave through the foe with spear and blade - their skill and speed a match for any foe. Volleys of white-fletched arrows are sent slashing into the foe, accompanied by the heavier, deadlier shots of the Eagle Claw Bolt Throwers, which can punch through even the thickest armour. Powerful High Elf Mages direct the ebb and flow of the Winds of Magic to smite the foe with incandescent flames, or protect their allies with the dazzling power of Asuryan, the king of the Elven gods.

For more information about the High Elf releases in October, watch out for future newsletters, keep an on the Games Workshop website and check out October's issue of White Dwarf.

Incoming: Misty Mountains

Khazad-dûm, nestled below the mighty peaks of the Misty Mountains was once the greatest of all Dwarven holds - a place of beauty, light and artisanship unequalled. Now, however, it is the haunt of Moria Goblins, lumbering Cave Trolls and other, more terrible creatures.

For generations the Dwarves have longed to reclaim their ancestral home, fighting long and bitter wars against the Goblins who have usurped their cherished kingdom beneath the mountains.

This October the battle for dominion is set to intensify as both the armies of the Dwarf Holds and the Misty Mountains receive new reinforcements. With new miniatures for both factions, Good and Evil players have something to look forward to.

For more information about the Misty Mountains releases in October, watch out for future newsletters, keep an on the Games Workshop website and check out October's issue of White Dwarf. Players of the Strategy Battle Game will find rules to accompany all these models in November's issue of White Dwarf.

heres hoping for plastic ironbreakers and hammerers :|

Probably ellyrian reavers and sword masters too.

(seriously tho, if they looks half as good as the stuff in the island of blood box........my god am i gonna go broke.)
 
Huh, you're not reading it properly Aegis.

War of the Ring (Lord of the Rings) Dwarves & Goblins - Misty Mountain factions are getting new minis, not Warhammer Dwarves.

Also the Warhammer Fantasy high elves are getting plastic Dragon princes, plastic White Lions and plastic Phoenix Guards as well as at least one metal blister of a Noble. Apparently there are 3 other things to add to that list but we dont have any other info yet.


New Starter Set has plastic Swordmasters and Ellyrian Reavers, as well as a plastic Gryphon + Rider and Sea Guards with a Mage.

Wha-wha-what?!?!?!? Where did you find this?!?!?!? Show meeeee!!!!
 
According to the rumormongers, they're currently uncertain if its really going to be Orcs and Goblins but it looks like it - TK and Ogres have been pushed another year it seems, so that leaves Greenskins up next - new minis other than the boars and trolls were seen in the making.

So yay, my greenskins may have a fighting chance.

God damn it way to make me look like a noob :redface: I saw misty mountains and went "holy crap they are doing something with grom" ( like updating his terribad model) Here i was getting all excited that they might be doing a mini campaign. :swear: i missed the moria part of Moria goblins, and there is a khazad ( cept its karak _)*&^_)%$&^)$W damn human brain putting stuffs together wrong.) dum in fantasy after all :redface: ( because apparently a single dwarf with one of grugni's weapons can march right into the chaos wastes, for the most part by himself for all the good it does, and wtfpwn one of khornes chosen bloodthirsters in single combat, in his house no less.)
 
Hmm, well I suppose O&G are due an update, but I would have much preferred TK get their update first. Ah well, as long as VC don't have to wait too long, fingers crossed.
 
Hm, yes, I intended to put up a thread concerning the starter set about a week ago when our store got them :slapface:
Guess I forgot...
Anyways.

The models are...a-m-a-z-i-n-g. :O

The High Elf spearmen have just as much detail as the PLASTIC swordmasters.:)

A lot of them seem more like "actual" models. rather than snap-build ( AOBR ).
Swordmasters are ONE piece, aside from the musician and banner.


Another guy and I, maybe another as well, are helping build them :vampire2:

The Reavers are insane, GW just gets better and better with their plastics. The horses are top notch.
Maybe they're perfecting horse anatomy before they give us our Black Knights :happy:

Grom the Paunch? Like from Grimblades? (I just started reading it, it's pretty awesome.)

And OMFG the new models. *Drools* Please somebody help me I'm drowning. (In drool.)
 
I like the models apart from the griffon rider that looks terrible and the swordmasters that look too chunky, and also still have that dull completely static pose they always had. The skaven stuff and the elf mage look nice though.

After having a closer look at them, I've come to the conclusion: I want.

The Sea Guard are fantastic. It's a pity there are only 10.

Does anyone have any idea on what the price will be?
 
$99 USD was the word from the "boss" of our GW manager. ( Regional Manager? )

I would normally assume 90's range, taking Assault on Black Reach into account which is priced around there as well.

Hmm, in Grimblades he isn't particularly described as fat... although I haven't read much of it yet, perhaps a full description comes later...

******Spoiler*******


He eats some troll meat that wasn't cooked (terrible idea) so the troll is constantly trying to regenerate inside his stomach, this causes him to appear fat, and have cronic flatulence. Its also why he gets regen =p
