The second guy has a leaf addage instead so I assume its optional.
Phew!

I'm thinking I'll probably leave the loincloth off completely.

You sick bastard! There are kids that play this game, man! Think of the kids!

The last thing children need to see when they walk into the game store is your filthy tree man's twig and berries.

Not too sure about the models, have to wait and see them in the flesh.

But it's for WYSIWYG reasons.

How else is the Treeman supposed to do a tree whack?

I'm in. WHFB is now a game I am going to play.

I have been waiting for a Wood Elves update, and now, here it is. Now I have to get the books and learn the rules. Wish me luck, and bless me with more money so that I may actually build an army.

Now back to discussing the miniatures

Everyone knows that leaving the loincloth off gives the miniature the Fear USR and a reroll to armor penetration.

You get to reroll for penetration, but I'm not sure it's for the armor.

Really looking forward to this release. Even more curious to find out what kind of shooting benefits they get.

I'm not really frond of this humor, guys.

Yet another reason to leave the loincloth off

But yeah, the main thing I want from my WE AB is to be able to darken the sky with arrows fired from skirmishing tree huggers... and for it to actually be effective... then follow up with a bunch of walking trees that stomp things and some crazy pole dancing tree huggers that slice things up. Interested to see what they do with it.

I think Wood Elves (and Bretonnians) are one of the few Fantasy armies with a really unique play style, I hope they continue to be unique and also a viable competitive army.

I thought the Treeman was a Monster which means he probably has Terror.

Treeman: "Invading my realm? Don't you see how big I am?"

Bretonnian Knight 1: "Yeah, I do. Put some clothes on."

Bretonnian Knight 2: "Dude, I think he meant overall."

Bretonnian Knight 1: "Trust me, that's not what he meant."

Clearer pic of the stags, plus a lovely two page spread from the Army book

Looks like a new character with 2 axes.

Still can't really see the stags. The wardancer is old, though not currently on the GW site, maybe they're releasing it in failcast?

Well it's safe to say those really are stags and not just green horses

Agreed... not big stags, but clearly not horses, even from that terrible pic.

Still amazed in todays technology age people can still take pictures that are WORSE than cellphones took 10 years ago.. It sure is skill to be so bad at cell phone picturing taking.

Or it's a clever ploy since most 'rumor' pictures are terrible

It can be tricky to take photos of a book if you don't understand lighting and the pages are glossy, even if you have a good camera. I recently couldn't be bothered scanning a book so just tried to photograph it with a decent point and shoot camera (better than a phone) and it took me a while to find somewhere with appropriate lighting that didn't give a reflection and every few pages still managed to be blurry for one reason or another.

It literally took me 5 minutes to post this due to laughter, you sir, win the internet.

I don't think I've ever been so excited about a GW release before.

Well, these new pics of the treeman painted in much saner colors are a huge improvement,

Still not sure of the reindeer rider, and thisgreen paint scheme is simply atrocious.

Look at how they painted the hooves like a dark sock more akin to a deer than a horse. Then if you look at the closest one you can just see what appears to be antlers on its head. Bad picture makes it very hard to tell but they could be - esp as the preview art (which was later pulled) had stag riders.


The green is most certainly armour on them just like the original mounts for WE had leaf motif armour (but much less of it).

I wouldn't put it past GW to put out a kit with plastic horses, and include an "alternate build" that amount to sticking antlers on, painting them green, and shouting "LOOK, MAGIK DEERZ!"

It could be a three way kit if you add flight bases and a chariot you can have the chaos warrior flying chariot of tzeentch with sorcerer lord Claus riding in it.

Indeed.


One could almost say that it's growing on you.

Looks like a decent release, for a change. GW is a bit hit and miss with their designs, I'm happy to see they can still pull a 'classic' theme without totally fething it up with weird new units

You deserve to be tarred, feathered, and sent to Doncaster for a holiday, for that joke!

Anyway, back OT.

I'm not seeing horses or stags. I'm seeing wooden/forest spirit horses made from twigs and branches, hence why they're green. Or at least I'm seeing them how I'd do them.

Love the treeman though. As noted, it's a bit avatar, but definitely something I would buy if I was still into warhammer.

Oh yes the new pictures look good - and those are very clearly stags or some sort of mythical mount!

Darn it do I really need 2 kidneys anyone want one?

There are some sort of blurry elk cavalry in one of the new pics, but those are different models than the green horses in the first pic. Green horses that people thought were elks were just old WE horses painted green.

Almost thought we get plastic treekin, but seems only to be a trick of perspective on the pic in the lower right:

Seems to be a mixed reaction to the treemen kits, personally I quite like them though they do look like a bit of a nightmare to paint! Its pretty weird seeing all those old 'metal' models next to them though, wonder if finecast isnt as finished with as people suspected.

Must admit I'm surprised - that said WE haven't had any attention in so long chances are htey wanted new things on the table more than they wanted to revise old models; plus with a near whole line to revise that's a fair bit of work.

Never mind, fake pages
