How the heck do you actually pronounce "Aelf"?

Silent A I'd assume given that the name change is purely to try and make the word completely original(tm) do not steal(tm) and copywrite protectable(tm).

I always thought it was pronounced "Ayylf". You kind of sound like a southerner pronouncing it that way, though.

Not a super scientific source but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86
In America it is a hard A, but in the UK it is silent.

Pronounced exactly the same as elf. British English phonics has a silent a when followed by e in most cases, such as daemons being pronounced demons.

We've been pronouncing it as ale-f but I would guess it is meant to just be pronounced as elf.

And the fact that it doesn't help them in that department is what makes the change so lame and pathetic...
But yeah, its just elf. Or it could be like the word eel (eelf) seeing that the ae in daemons makes the same sound. Or it could be a hard A. Or just alf.
Come to think of it, any of these options highlight the silliness/stupidity of the change and so amuse me.

Aelf is an Old English word meaning elf. It is pronounced elf. GW have not been any more creative than usual in inventing this trademarked name for a fantasy army.

I'm naturally inclined to say Ale-f too. Not sure if it's right.
Is it Aelfs or Aelves? Aelfish or Aelven? In WHFB it was always Elfish and Elfs IIRC, so I guess the equivalent for new words.

I would pronounce it 'Elf'.

You're mixing up Elves and Dwarfs...

Ah, my mistake. And I can see from the Wood Elves compendium it is "Aelves" and "Aelven".

Pretty much. If the next armies batch of models is a complete flop to me I guess itll be time to seriously start looking elsewhere.

Im very indifferent toward the bloodblound stuff.
Chaos in general has never really been my thing so Im not holding my opinions of those models against GW.
I will however comment that so far they are 2/2 with making some very bulky looking miniatures. Curious to see if an aelf is just an elf whos been hitting the gym based on the current trend.
