I didn't disagree with you because I thought you said:

Ha!

So, having cleared that up...

Since they've no intention of re-doing the Plastic Spearmen and Archers (and they really need it!), they should have made the new match the old.

And having slightly smaller Elves would have been OK too.

Do we know they've no intention of re-doing the plastic Spearmen and Archers?

Absolutely not. We just know they weren't redone now.
After all, they might decide to redo the High Elf army book at some point to bring it down a few power levels...and I can see Archers, Spearmen, and Silver Helms being a great new kit for that release, can't you?

I love the new plastic kits. The price is steep, but I create armies at a snail's pace so being able to afford what I want was never an issue. If I ever got a High Elf army, it would be a regiment per three months, which would be fine, taking into account Total Wargamer’s prices.

Regarding the Spearmen and Archers; I think that having GW do them at the same time as all these other plastic kits is asking way too much. If anything, we will see them again in a second wave. Though, I am happy to see the metal Sea Guard models re-released. They are fantastic sculpts.

+1 on a size comparison shot of the new and old Sea Guard.

Ya... thats called the next edition High Elf army book release...

You mean just like I said, in that very statement you quoted?

Gee. It's almost like you're attempting to troll...

Troll? no its just obvious ofc they'll update spearman , archer , silver helms.

Its expected!

No, it's really not.

The High Elf army book has been updated twice since the Archers, Spearmen, and Silver Helms were all put into production.

The Dark Elf army book suffers from a similar problem in the form of the Dark Riders, Reapers, Witch Elves, Executioners, Black Guard and Warriors.

So basically im a troll because i believe GW will release / update some High Elf plastic at a time you believe is different.

So lets settle this in a bet instead of the usual barking back and forth

Lets bet on a battleforce / battalion. want to up the bet? sure i dont mind :')

If the next time High Elf gets new army book and they make new plastic archesr or spearman , i win.

If they release new archer or spearman at a different time , you win.

Up for it?

Can someone tell me where I can post High Elf news&rumours when this thread gets closed for another round of off topic bitching?

i like the new DPs and the phoenix guard except the helm i prefer the metal version. (time to chop one off and slap it to the new plastic body)
