If they released new plastics, then that kit would not only be bought up by new players but would also purchased by old players as well. I would jump at the opportunity to buy new plastic Dark Riders, even though I already own them. Following that logic, I assume you will be jumping at the opportun...

Also, to be fair, corsairs never could stand up to a heavy cavalry charge. Last Friday, my 15 Corsairs took an overrun charge from 6 Dragon Princes, coupled with a supporting flank charge by my CoK's. CoK's on the charge, killed one DP. DP's on their charge killed 6 corsairs. The DP's won CR by one...

Now that I've seen a picture of the box, I will definitely be getting it. I'm looking for to having some cool characters to use. No more using an executioner standard bearer as a BSB in my corsairs or my corsair champion as an on-foot noble.

Yay.

On the other hand, I dig the Folding Chariot idea.

In a 2K game, I had a level two sorceress get Black Horror off three times against orcs. Two units fled off the table and the other one was reduced to two troopers and his general, which unit I promptly charged and chased down with my witch elves. That was the most convincing victory I ever had with...

That's cool. I was worried that the "BIG NEWS' was that the commode on the International Space Station was on the fritz.

Here was my suggestion (or one of them) months ago. Still waiting for GW to verify that it's in the new book.

There were alot of good ideas in that thread, actually.

I probably will order one, if only to get a nice assortment of the new models in one box. It's really not much of a bargain, eh?

Not to nit-pick, but they aren't "Rxb-men." They're Rxb-elves. And spearelves too. Men are a slave race, slightly more useful than rats, less useful than dwarves or greenskins. We do not refer to our own troops, the finest in the world, as "men." On topic, I like to use 2 units o...

Isn't this rather speculative anyway? Unless you've actually seen the official new rules somehow.

I'm fairly good at math and that chart means nothing to me.

Sorry.

I had a bitter feeling with that Hydra pic...don´t look much promising. Corsairs on the other hand are wonderful. I like the esthetic return to the 5th edition. They look more macho for the elven standars But in fact they are screaming "melniboneans!" in every piece of the model. I´m happ...

I like the fluff idea. The tower is in the frozen waste near to the chaos lands, so it supports the idea of the steady erosion of the highborn's soul. Only, what the heck is Malus Darkblade doing there? Passing through? Scheming to sell the highborn down the road ( by reporting the Slaaneshii hereti...

Sweet! That's the spirit. Let's keep it up.

Right. Thanks Rork. So I should have done this before, but here it is. Like many, I am getting really excited about the new release, so I composed this little blurb to express some of that excitement. I hope to post more as we get closer to D-Day (Druchii-Day, of course) that will continue on the th...

It's nice to see that not one high elf army finished above you in the tournament.

In the far north, there is a dark, chill wind brewing. The vast evergreen forests are silent as death, but not still. No, the forests seeth with hatred, malice and dark, cold terror. Malekith, the Witch King of the Druchii is marshalling his minions. Long have the children of Nagarroth waited and so...

That will change when the new models and the new book arrives for sure. I honestly hope that not by much. It'll be good to have some apprentices to the dark side <grins> but I enjoy being a kind of rarity and surprise to my opponents instead of... oh... DE again, played them last umpteen times... Q...

This is great! I can't believe how excited I'm getting about this. Our local GW store is planning a series of tactica after the August release, featuring Dark Elves against all comers. Seeing as how I'm practically the only druchii player at that store, I'm looking forward to getting some serious pl...

Yes, AND poisoned, all of Menghil's attacks and those of the Manflayers, are poisoned. Also immune to move and range penalties. Again, the quote was "like Menghil's." I'm just taking things literally.

Okay, I get it. I like it too. Now let's see a whole regiment of spear elves like that.

Where do the terms Quaysh, Dhar, etc. com from?

Dalamar wrote:Reapeater handgun will probably work like menghil's pistol which is plain awesome.

Menghil's pistol has poison attacks. If the corsairs' pistol is "like Menghil's pistol," then say hello to my all corsair/pistol, dark rider, RBT army. WOOT!

Would those be the assassins...

...of doom?

Speaking of the Witch King, my source at the local GW store informed me last night that Malekith is getting an upgrade in the new book. Zounds, I might have to break down and buy that dumb-looking model.

Probably old news around here, huh?

If I may end with one negative comment then they may wanna lose that DE squid-theme as fast as possible... I mean, common, DE are becoming to look like the next installement of Pirates of the Caribbean. I think that's kind of the point. They are piratical raiders, after all. However, don't worry to...
