Mengil in the new list?
I am one of many Mengil Manflayer fans in the world.
And here is my question.
How many of you would like to see him as a special character in the new dark elves list that is coming ever closer? I know I am.

I've got my fingers crossed that they will do something similar to the last update where they make a large errata/edits to the book (where the WILL give my cold ones a second attack!) and include Mengil's updated rules there, as well as some reference to the CoS seeing as there is expected to be none.

No, visited Asur.org a few times during a long past campaign, but that's it for WFB related sites. Back on topic, I saw the new book at Baltimore GD today, refer to my post in the spearhead thread...it's gonna be sweet.

Well Mengil and his crew are indeed slightly better than Shades, however they also are considerably more expensive, and a unit of them inevitably costs far more than 300 points if you really want to make use of them, and they don't have armor piercing crossbows or WS5 or Hatred. And you can have more than one unit of shades too. So all in all I find it sad that Man Flayers are gone (I rarely ever played without them, just because they have so much style ) but the new shades make up for that by costing less and being better in combat (I remember once when my man flayers bounced off a unit of brettonian knights because they missed all their attacks...).
I think that I quite like the new shades, and the fact that they make those fierce shadow warriors look like children... I can't wait for the first time playing with my new shades
And the option for great weapons justifies using those awesome man flayer models too... Mengil will make a great blood shade
HUZZAH!
When I think of something witty, I shall put it here.

I tried to adress this topic in a specific thread:

I think I will continue to put him in my lists, as long as my opponent is OK with it, the new rules be damned. I just got the models so I am no longer using proxies so I am not about to stop using them. Mengil single handedly killed an Ogre tyrant with a tenderizer and that 5+ ward save among other goodies. I can't leave a unit that bad assed at home!
