Hag Queen

In the new GW site under lords and heroes there's a character called Hag Queen. It looks like the lady from the couldron of blood. So that's our new hero? Linky. The site is pretty slow for me...

I wouldn't put much stock in it. I notice there's no Dark Elf lords there at all apart from special characters.

The Hag there is definitely the current one from the Cauldron. It may be that GW are being dodgy and releasing her as a new Lord option by herself (i.e. a Hag Queen rather than simply the Hag like a unit champion) but I don't think they are that stupid to believe that finally releasing a Witch Elf character for the first time since the original Armies Book does not justify a new model!!! Most Druchii players will already have that mini anyway, so they'd get hardly any new sales.

Maybe she will be a Hag Queen mini, and others will be released with the new book (though I struggle with that idea too) - I would expect to see at least one with 2 hand weapons!!!

For some reason the linky doesn't work for me.
But cauldron of blood hag is now part of collectors section, so she's not a lord character, just a model for collectors (and rightly so since she's pretty sweet for sorceress conversions)

It's just a link to the lords and heroes section of the Dark Elves. Maybe a placeholder accidentally thrown in?

There seems to be a problem with exchange rates. The numbers are the same in all currencies. 12EUR = 12$ = 12Pounds etc...

They CoB could always have been redone as a seperate entity (Steam tank) in the new book, the HQ can join the unit and the other two models are now WE heroes...

Well we can dream can't we

I love that model, I'm saving up for him now so I can field two dragons in my 10k army!!!! I don't have 10K yet, but I will soon!

Post by **Dalamar** » Mon May 19, 2008 7:17 pm

2? I field 5 dragons in my 10k army

(though most I had a chance to field was 5k in about 15k per side battle... still had 3 dragons in it

)
As for cauldron... I wouldn't be surprised if it got changed to similar rules as Screaming Bell as far as movement goes. In way - it can move, but needs a unit to carry it (notice the metal rings at the corners of the base, it can be carried though it's probably quite heavy

)

Disclaimer: I had minor surgery today and am feeling a little loopy, so this might make no sense at all. But this seems to me to be a clue into the content of the new book.

Yes, we will most probably get Witch Elf hero choice.

Did anyone notice the GW site only shows one beastmaster with the hydra these days?

Post by **Dalamar** » Mon May 19, 2008 10:23 pm

The other one is using the hydra as cover as written in "controlled" rules

Isn't Hellebron gonna be a special character in the book as well?

Though Bitz ordering, as it was previously known, may have gone to the wayside, there are several things like the Hag from the CoB, or the various Beast handlers from the Hydra box, that can be ordered separately through the current GW catalogue.

It looks like this is a case of such a thing :smile: There are several nice little suprises like that scattered about the main catalogue and the "Collectors and Bitz" one, it's just a matter of happening upon them (like the "snap-together skeletons under the VC section :wink:)
