well i'm back after 2 weeks on hols.
i think it is great that gav's fluffs mentions a potential civil war between the temple of khaine and the cult of slannesh. it strength our nation will as our great king says
"the weak would die in order that the strong prevail."

indeed , it would be some nice fluff, and nice new campain.
i have to battle myself this time, i know no one with DE.

please the subject khaine/khorne out of this.

Any Dark Elves that openly worship Slaanesh would obviously follow Morathi. Since there are some, any Dark Elves that worship Khaine would want to kill them, that's the law. Hence the civil war.

So Drucii.nets campaign may influence the entire warhammer community, go druchii. Well deserved too, with all the work thats been going into it. That map is incredible.

The Under-Empire is soing a similar thing aswell. They have taken the SoC site and altered it to amke it more rat-like. It looks pretty good (of course, Druchii has the natural advantage of looking amazingly cool).

I think that there is only a good result for a civil war between DE: nobody win and a NEW king, that take the leadeship, declare freedom of religion. And all DE united against HE to conquer uor ancient native country.

If will be a division whit the birth of a new elf's army that will means that GD have not a lot ideas: 4 elf's army are too much. The elf' story in full of division yet, another? Banal, boring and ineffectual

well, i look forward to the campaign (and i hope i find some slaanesh-worshipping druchii to kill them either in the name of khaine or to keep both the khainites and the slaaneshi from fighting in the name of malekith).

BUT, and this is a big but, i sincerely hope the vanilla druchii list will remain as it is, and be playable after the civil war, because if not, i and a lot of other druchii players are going to be really upset.

Perhaps this "Civil War" (are any wars civil ?) could provide a fresh start for the Druchii. Malekith's birthrite is obviously questionable in my mind, considering Morathi's treason, it would seem that her son may indeed have been conceived by "other than elven means". A Druchii rennaisance could very well be within our grasp. If we take this opportunity to shed the albatross that has held us back for these thousands of years, not only the elven kingdoms, but much of the known world should bow to our feet.

who cares

I am just gonna flay the lot of you and turn you into boots and gloves for my armies

I can't wait for the civil war to begin so that the trash talk can start.

well, with the Khaine and Khorne thing, are they not connected, i was told once that all magic came from chaos, and that was y, for a long time, Chaos could use any magic they wanted, so would'nt the god's be magically connected ne way?

and a civil war would not b horrible in my opinion, i am abviously not siding with Slannesh, i hate that stupid Bi...

sry i got carried away

but Hellebrone could become an actual legal character, and we might get some new items, and units even, im up for that, and a cool twist could b that some of the chaos follows of Slannesh hav come down in their aid, to spread the power of pleasure further into the world, but Khaine would win, course, thats the side most DE players would take,

well im actually confused, i like a true druchii, not a slannesh one, but if i fought for Malekith, would i actually b fighting for slannesh, man im confused, or this sucks, god or king.

oh common, even more items? even more units?

enough is enough

you got the items of albion (gauntlet anyone?)
you finally got the revision (although that one was needed)
and the new list and items (4+ ward and the draich, not too mention the doombolt sticj and the banner of countercharging)

now if the dark elves are going to get updated again

THAN I'M THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO GET UPSET!!

leave it just as fluff and be done with it

Maybe the Slann will follow the CoP and crush them they must be pissed by now.
Doesnt Knaine hate magic like Khorne.
They are very similar in many ways.
I have a theory the the old ones are the chaos gods. Four of them a very similar to the Chaos Gods and why would such all powerful beings just run away when their much weaker Slann Servants could handle the Daemon attack.

Malekith had virtually no role in the SOC and although his stats in WH are fairly lame for the points (and the figure is incredibly bad), in the fluff he is extremely powerful and nasty. So, does he wage war against his own mother, or not?
I always thought there was a bit of an Oedipus type relationship going on between them.

I think it's a great idea to wage this campaign and I think we should push for a 'new' Malekith, stats and figure while we're at it.

Eh, wasn't that only for the duration of Soc, or is this now official? same with the army lists? anyone wanna help me out on that 1?

it is now an official army list, like all of the SoC released ones

awesome! really good to know thanks!

no - tell me!

i want to keep malekith as our king, i think he's good.

i hope the slaanesh elves get crushed, but then again, i have no slaaneshi opponents, so i might just battle my HE opponent instead, and log it near arnhelm...

Also I wants to keep Malekith as our King. He is after all (in the stories) one of the most powerful beings in the whole world. And when are you going to realize that it doesnt matter if we replace him. no one will ever going to be able to retake Ulthuan permanently. As for the civil war: sure why not as long as our entire ralm doesnt collapse, and I rather see tat both Morathi and Hellebron survive. Morathi will of course kick her ass but spare her. Perhaps as humiliation.

What would be the purpose of a civil war? With shadow war weak are remowed from society so there is no need for a full scale engagement. Just as DE have begun to numericaly catch up with HE we are going to slaughter ourselves and return to starting position. Even if the end result is us getting a more competant leader we will be dimished in number and in strenght to pose a threat to anyone in WH world. Wouldn´t it be better if we invited the Lizardmen to Naggaroth to repay them for their hospitality in Lustria. Let them try to recapture their "unimportant" relics from us.

I have heard some rumours about tpv2(thats the bigest lizard site on the net) taking part in the campainge

this is a part of or great kings plan, with no weeknes ther can be no failure, some back stabing will just make us stronger, its also stated in the druchii book that malekith will get rid of his mother if she stops being usefull for his aims........wath ever hapen I will stand redy to draw my sword(er gauntlet) thoughter with great king malekith

didnt Malekith say in the book that he keeps his mother close so he can learn all the thing he can from his mother and dispose her, wel maybe the time has come? what about that??
cheers

That time has not come. And killing her now wont do him any good.

To those who conspire against our King- Blasphamy! You will be sacrificed for this!
Our Loyalty lies to the True King of elven Kind, not a 'god.'
Regarding our Lady- also Blasphamy- she is our Queen! and you will be tormented in eternity by slaanesh for that.

I say we Kill Hellebron and have both Sec's of religious diety Unite in one powerfull Druchii Nation that United will utterly Crush Ulthland!!!

But seriously wouldnt that be awsome to have an allied list, immagin takeing Exes, Hydra's, and our other sweet Khaine untis with the Lore of Slaanesh and the Deamon units--- But NO human skum (marauders and Knights of chaos) ---
New list of Alliance should be created, with antimosity regulations between the two secs maybe? I dunno i just think an alliance would be uberilly awsome!

Pah, weakling Cult Of Slannesh, traitors and sadists! All shall be swept away in the name of glorious Khaine, the only PROPER god of the noble Druchii, I shall raise my banner for the Hag Queen Hellebron and Khaine help me I shall kill any foe, be it Druchii, Daemon or Manling if she so wishes. Heed this words and quake for the army of Har Ganeth has come for your heads...

I concur. My brigade fields both Khainites and Slaanesh. Our sights should be set on exterminating the Asur.

Still - truly cool that the civil war scenario is at least being watched!

Maybe the dark elves will split up liek the first time, into the dark elves and the darker elves. And maybe some dark wood elves.
