-Entire (I think) army has Eternal Hatred, which allows them to re-roll misses against anyone in the *first* round of combat.
-Cold Ones are still S4, 1 attack
-Cold One Chariots have LD9
-Dark Elf Spearmen were either 5 or 6 points each, and can buy upgrades (they looked like a reaaaally good bang-for-your-buck kinda unit)
-There are several "unit champion upgrades" that don't take up hero or lord slots, rather replace the unit champion of the squad with named dudes (special characters I guess you could say) that have nicer stats ^^
-The Repeater Crossbow is S3, multi-shot, Armor Piercing
-the Dark Elves 'Shadow Stalker' guys or w/e they are called (the DE variant of Waywatchers) have BS5
-the War Hydra (jebus rice that model looks soooo beautiful in person) has S5, 7 attacks, 4+ scaly skin, Regeneration, causes Terror, some other special rules, and costs 175 points.
-The Witch King dude costs 600 points, has S5 T4, 5 attacks I think (either 5 or 4), level 4 wizard, adds +1 power/dispel dice to the pool, has a sword that *doesn't* ignore armor saves but if it hits a guy (pretty sure it's *hit*, not wound) you can either pop a magic item or something like pop a spell they know (could have been remove a power dice they generate), and has a bitchin shield that gave him wonderful protection versus non-magical weapons, was something like lets re-roll armor saves or a ward save, whatever it was, worked really well in conjunction with his sword.
-Black Guard are cheaper
-Cold Ones look soooooooo beautiful in person
-the dude with the squid face also looks amazing
-Corsairs are incredibly detailed kits
-Every Dark Elf caster knows a spell with a casting value of 4+ that works like this: Generate +[D3 +1] spell dice for yourself, only you can use them, and you can't use them to dispel remains-in-play spells. For each one that you don't use at end of magic phase (lol) you take either a wound or a hit (forget the exact penalty, as it's trivial in nature )
-Every Dark Elf caster has a special rule that removes the max power dice they can use per spell they cast
-There's a 300 point Assassin Hero with WS10, BS10, I10 that can kick some serious butt

Anyway, that's all I can recall right now, and yeah, Games Day was very awesome and enjoyable ^^]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312312.page GMT
5 or 6 pts? That sounds too unbelievable to be true. Even if shields are only +1 pt, that's 6 or 7 pts for M5, WS4, and Ld8. And Light Armor, a shield, and spear for good measure.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312327.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312327.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312336.page GMT

I did not memorize their statline, so they may have made their stats a bit worse than as you describe them (like WS3 for example) to suffice for the point drop. Haha don't quote me on this, as GW has a habit of printing broken units lately (see Blood Knights, and the new Hydra I described ^^)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312361.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312361.page GMT
The only other thing I noted was ... that better be Shadowblade with the Deathsword for 300pts.

175 points, M6, 7 WS4 S5 attaks, 4+ save, 4+ regen, terror, stubborn, 2 handlers (with current handler rules), breath weapon with strength equal to remaining wounds (5 to begin). I do like the model, particularly if FW or somebody makes variant heads as rumored

Is that Lokhir Squidface? Cool stuff in there.

So yeah, another powerful army but thankfully a notch down from demons & vamps. Guess I could go do my 2x hydra list I've wanted to run ...

Now what we'll get is the same old minimum infantry (possibly zero since DR are core) backed up by lines of monsters, flyers and fast cav.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312716.page GMT
Also, there's apparently 2 stubborn units in the army now (according to the blurg next to the painted army that was on display). Anybody catch which the other unit is?

I'm not sure if that's sarcasm or something, but it's Black Guard of course like always. They're also ITP now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213145/312721.page GMT Yeah, realized that after posting. Stupid of me.

So ... maybe I'll have to fight some Dark Elves now that they're getting a new book. Had no idea what BG did, but stupid of me x2
