I was only interested in purchasing the dreadlady and mounted char on steed prior to seeing the pics. But now, I have to say I kinda disappointed. When I saw that the sculptor for the minis is Gary Morley, I kinda freaked out. No offence to Gary, but I do think his style doesn't suit me. I might juz...

I have to admit; I was one of those who didn't like hatred. I felt that it would be too easily exploited. But after a few months, I think it's not a bad rule. Sure it has a disadvantage, but I'm sure it's not that bad. I think I was juz annoyed at the HE getting an army-wide rule with no drawbacks. ...

So far, the chaos rumours sounds pretty nice. Even with the rumoured regen mark of nurgle doesn't sound so bad, so long as it is appropriately priced. And at least it gives the player who gets the charge an advantage. I do not like the rumoured mark of slaanesh confering ASF to units. Now that would...

Oh stop. You haven't even used the army yet and you're already complaining. Use the army first then get back to us. Beyond magic items, Dark Elves weren't really likely to get a profusion of options. Like the high elves, each of their units fulfil a specific role or fighting style - the units in th...

I must say GW seriously has issues with DE as a race. The new rumours are kinda...underwhelming. Dark elf players had weak army and there was whinning. I can understand that. But now you have get new book, with great variety and power, with some undercosted elite infantry, flyers, monster, cauldron...

More options and flexibility is always good. And Skaerkrow, I wish I have as much faith in GW as you have. And the amazing thing is that, despite the less than amazing rules, I would still buy the new minis, juz because they are soooo pretty.... Damn I hate it when GW does this to me. But enough ran...

Yes everything did get improved. But is the improvement enough as compared to other races? Witches got cheaper but essentially didn't change. We were already facing problems with the 6th ed witches. With the new ed, it would seem the ONLY improvement is that they got cheaper. Execs are still T3, 5+ ...

I must say GW seriously has issues with DE as a race. The new rumours are kinda...underwhelming. Nevermind abt non-asf witches, nevermind abt executioners striking last again. I can live with all those. But truly the lowering of the banner pt allowance for witches and execs, and the increase in pts ...

1) Its just been assumed that Witch Elves have the same Khainite rule as the Execs, I know I never saw a confirmation in the rumours about it did you? 2) Its all relative. Without the CoB , contrary to what YOU think, I dont think they hit hard enough to justify their fragility, with the CoB, Hatre...

@ Archdukechocula: given that witches are her fav unit, I wouldn't exactly blame her for ranting so much. @ Handmaiden: it would seem from current rumours that witches are weakened. Lower WS and no ASF. A pity as I did think that witches are a trademark unit of the druchii. But in light of the cauld...

Chariots with better armour save and S4 driver. YES PLEASE!!!! But losing the 2 for 1 choice on these is a big draw back dont you think? They just dont seem as apealing knowing that I can only get one for the cost of a special slot where I could be getting units that will have better rules and more...

The core rumours sounds sweet. Cheaper spears and xbowmen. What more can I ask for? DR still in core and cheaper too. DA mentioned abt variations; sounds like more equipment options? Was hoping for the return of the fire and flee rule. It would fit the spiteful theme of the druchii. But seems like w...

I'm not sure if the author of the rumour thread meant that there's a magical draich that +2 S on the charge and +1 S in subsequent turns or all draichs confer those abilities.

After all, he did put the draich description in the magic items para.

These rumours sounds like a more plausible and less wish-list kind of army list. Which is good. But what's bad is that I don't have faith in GW in keeping the power creep in check for the coming books, which would result in a repeat of post-revision DE. The truth of the matter is that WHFB has evolv...

Congrats. As a fellow Asrai and Druchii player, I would say the Asur player is being a whiner, as usual. I would say your list is quite friendly. I have heard worse, namely the wood elf highborn on dragon and double treeman. Now that's cheese. And Malevion, I totally agree with your assessment on AS...

Just clean up a few things: @HeH - the boxed sets of metal Highborns and Sorceresses will have a model on foot and a mounted model, on one of the new Cold Ones. Thanks Underway! I'm pretty excited by the DE release in Aug although I'm kinda sad that GW chose not to release new DR this time. Ah well...

Hmm...on hindsight...Davy Jones seems to be a more direct link. I juz hope the mini doesn't end up looking like him. He's not exactly elf-like. Haha.

@Mr_PieChee: well coz Underway said metal highborn set, that's why I'm asking if there are mounts included in the set.

@ Underway: Does the highborn set have mounts (just Cold Ones or Elf steeds will do coz I guess a dark pegasus is too much to hope for. )? As for the special char, seems like GW has drawn some inspiration from House Greyjoy of George R.R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. The squid mask reminds me of ...

Given the new fluff on HE, I think it’s only right if DE assassins have ASF as part of their base cost, and not juz on the turn they are revealed. Fluffwise, since witch elves are rumoured to have ASF, I don’t see why assassins who are trained by the witches from young, don’t have ASF. Moreoever, I ...

Besides, I would be VERY surprised if the assassins lost their ASF - that's the one thing they always had, don't think it will be taken away. Naturally, it's unlikely that they will become usable, but hey - who needs to use them as long as they have cool rules... Well now they have ASF ONLY on the ...

Haha...yes it's juz a game. But after waiting for so long for GW to make things right, and when they don't, can be quite annoying at times. But I suppose you are right, Victor (feels funny calling someone else my name... ). We can only wait and see, pray and hope. And GrogsnotPowwabomba, I hope you ...

I must say if there is 1 thing that truly bothers me, it has got to be the assassin. The new rumoured upgrade of the assassin is a joke. To think that the assassin, being trained by witches (who are rumoured to have ASF), do not have ASF???? And to as if to add insult upon injury, even HE archers wh...

Good evening to all. The guy seems a clock... 1 rumor in the morning and 1 in the evening. Here to you: Special choices: - Witches: at least 5 of them for a unit, same points value, 2 hand weapons with poison, always frenzied (nevel lose the frenzy), hag with something like temple of khaine choices...

Interesting rumours. I wonder if assassins would get ASF. Hoping that they do...or else they would still seem abit too overcosted. Sad to see that we are losing our +1 to cast and dominion. Although I hardly use sorc, I do know that dominion is an immensely useful spell.
