Hmmm I'm really irritated with the new model concepts. The units that formerly were and still should be powerful, but slow beings, emitting a fearful presence, now look like agile and swift fighters. Treemen.

Formerly swift and agile fighters now look like regular off the mill, row-by-row fighters. With giant hands / arms.

Man, I wanted to start WE and the new models are terrible :(

They look more like two handed axes, but forget the weapons, what about that colour scheme!

God, that looks awful, like it was painted by a blind man on a moonless night.

Lime...

I think the models looks awesome! color scheme could be better for sure, but the models themselves look great. Like they could be ready to spring in to action at any time.

I dig it.

Give that write a medal. Cannot wait until tomorrow, finally gonna break in my new GW account. And break my bank balance...

They look like bardiches.

Lime...

My goodness those Eternal Guard/whatever they are are DULL. High Elf aesthetics with a green cloak. Beginning to get very disappointed with this release.

So these Glaive guys are the other option on the eternal guard box? I dont hate them, but they look very beefy for WE Miht take a few of my old ones and convert

Any idea on the base size for the stag riders?

I think you'll find that's Halberds™

No. They look like the LOTR elves's glaives.

HHHalberds™ surely .

Infantry looks alright to me.

Guessing they must/will have alternate weapons or another build..?

Oh come on guys. That's old hat. These days GW just invests nonsense words and phrases for everything. Those weapons are probably Wefluten Axnomen or Chop Slashers, or something.

No no no....They are spear axes of spearaxing.

So you can spear intruders while your axing when you axe with your spear.

In the WD pic with them in the background they are ranked up as close as the Glade Riders are, appearing to be on 25x50mm bases.

I wouldn't be surprised if these were Wild Rider replacements or part of a Dual Kit with Wild Riders.

A horse and a stag have very different body structures - I'd expect them to be their own thing unless the wild-riders are now mounted on stags.

Men and women have different body shapes - but GW did Sisters of Avalorn / Shadow Warriors - I think they will just have different heads.................

The pre-orders are up on the GW site if you want some nice zoom inspections of the new models.

The Shadowdancer is Finecast?
We havent had any of that since Lizardmen (except Hobbit)

And that's a whole bunch of rumors busted.

Still suffers from good ole GW "sculpt a dude and glue boobs on" syndrome though.

GW's female heads continue to be terrible. :/

Interesting that the Wardancers are still metal.

Interesting how they state Finecast when all the others were changed to just state resin.

Also I'd love a poster of either of these:

You can't really "continue to be terrible" when these aren't new models, IMO.

Not really. They went to Direct Only quite some time ago so they probably still have a ton of metal stock left over.

Fair enough, didn't realize she wasn't new as my Welfs never used Wardancers.

I guess it wasn't worth them casting new Finecast molds for the Wardancers. They can probably make them in metal now since its a tiny part of their product line so fluctuations in price won't hit them too hard.

Also interesting that they've not put up a battleforce/armyforce - guess we have to wait till the next wave for that

Pre Orders are up

I don't think it was pointed out, but the spell cards are Dark and High magic rather than Lore of avel loren or whatever it used to be.

It was actually pointed out. Apparently this incarnation of the Wood Elves use both Dark and High Magic, which is kind of neat.
