Don't abandon your TK unless you need to. Settra has not yet had his day. Regardless of sources they all(at least all I've seen) agree, don't burn those TK just yet.

That would be a real waste since TK are stronger now than they've ever been... in KoW.

haha.
That Settra list is a killer, though. And if you got 'em, play KoW, AoS, 9th Age, shadow puppets, whatever works

I like the beetle and I like Alarielle, but i don't think they really fit together. WOuld be better if they were seperate imo. I like the release in the whole (except the spite revenants, which are redundant imo, much too similar to dryads, and the clampack character, who is boring and not nearly worth its price), but I think it is a bit boring, as all kits (bar arielle) are pretty much some kind of treeman. Would have been better if they used a bit more of the insectoid concept, and did some kind of scarab mans, like confrontation did for their wood elves.

Scarabs are from the desert egypt ect. That is a herc beetle or one of his cousins, a more forest dweeling rainforest ect type.

But I disagree I like the treemen just not the elves hanging out of the,. But I do think there should be more then just that one beetle.

Lol, not to be pedantic but you are wrong. The herc beetle is technically a scarab

Most say that AOS seems to be picking up steam (not popularity wise, quality wise). THe first few release were either horrible (Stromcast: horible concept and execution/ Fyreslayer: decent concept horrible execution for the most part) or a bit boring (bloodbound), but the last two releases (orks and Sylvaneth) are much better

I thought herc beetles where part of the Dynastinae family and scarabs where part of the Scarabaeidae family? or are they merged ?

From what I gather from wikipedia, they both belong to the Scarabaeidae family, Dynastinae being a sub-family

Well guess I was wrong sorry :.p paint me suprized with that tho, guess it does make sence since all cats are in the same family as well.

But on topic before we get in trouble lol. I hope they do add more beetles not just treeman but not beetle man, I think they would lose alot of their....creepy cool factor. But if the giant beetle is like the star dragon for sigmarines where you can place 2 lords on it or even if it is like the terrorgiest where you can remove the lord and just have the terror it would be awesome.

I am not well versed in AoS lore is Alarielle the goddes Nurgle inprisoned and she broke free when the world went boom?
Will there also be new High elves?

No she is the goddess of the realm of life and she has just been reborn in her war aspect nurgle is trying to capture her though I suspect he wants a new isha.

Still those wanderer aelves better hear the call of war since their goddess has been reborn to kick ass and take names.

Wasnt she the one to blame for the end times? I am not sure the elves all become one to me but didnt she murder ariel pretend to be god to the brits so they all wondered off and refused to fight for her because she screwed them for ....ever then try to make a safe place for all the elves to go once they died at the cost of thousand of human lives? And the incarnate of breaking wind magic?

If anyone was to 'blame' for the End Times, it was probably Teclis. He's the one who allowed the Everchild to be sacrificed to resurrect Nagash (though Teclis claimed the world would need Nagash), and Teclis was also perhaps the person most responsible for the final invasion of Ulthuan. Not to mention the death of the Phoenix King.

Alarielle didn't murder Ariel, but she DID take her place. Pretty much all of the old elven gods died during the End Times, so a few new ones took their place. Lilleath is the one who tried to make a safe haven for the elves and sent her child there with Araloth, but Chaos found and destroyed it.

Teclis was a during the End Times.
Back on the topic in hand. The new models for the Sylvaneth look great and makes me wonder what they will do with the Shadowkin stuff with what we saw in Silver Tower.

Let's bring that in here, shall we? Spoilered cause the image is huge.

Teclis was also the one who grounded winds of magics to persons which gave them chance to prevent Archaon from his plan of world end. Which would have worked had Mannfred not betrayed all in the end.

So, the Sylvaneth will have a prety good army. Dryads, tree- revenants, spite-revenants as battleline, Kurnoth Hunters, the Hamadria, Treemen, Branchwreith, Branchwitch, Treekin and Alariel. A nice set to choose from.

Well he tried to fix it I guess ! But yeah he and Lileaths great plan to save the world (well the Elves) did result in the end of the world.

Well he didn't trigger the Archaons unstoppable horde. Without him doing what he did Archaon would simply have triggered device unopposed and end of the world.

Of course REAL villain is GW and their deus-ex-Archaon-has-unstoppable-army that triggered need for Teclis to bring in some sort of plan only to be betrayed. But as it is GW decided Archaon's host was unstoppable so without Teclis's plan it would be default victory for Chaos.

I may be late to the party but was the new bit of Khorne Fortress scenery mentioned before? It may have been totally overshadowed by that quite impressive Sylvaneth release.

ta-da !

Heh, it has flamethrowers. Nice.

and another page (from Adeptus Astartes on facebook), elf/tree breasts so spoiler

After weeks of not very much we have this:
How to Paint Sylvaneth $10
Legends of AoS: Sylvaneth $24
Drycha Hamadreth $60
Kurnoth Hunters $60
Sylvaneth Branchwych $20
Sylvaneth Dice $20
Dreadhold Crucible $100
Realmgate Wars: ALL GATES $65
Alarielle The Everqueen (on warbeetle) $130
Tree Revenants $37
Battletome: Sylvaneth $50
From Scanner on the spikey bits forums.
I find GW's release schedule very strange recently. There was a time nor so along ago when a release like this would have been spread over four or five weeks.

The Drycha Hamadreth looks like she's going to be £35- squint magnification

There are Sylvaneth DICE?! Craaaaaaaaaaaaaap.

From GW's Age of Sigmar FB page:

The General’s Handbook is just around the corner, and we know you guys are all eager for more info on the book.

Well, here you go – take a listen to (or watch – it's also available as a video review) Ben Curry's first impression of the book from the Bad Dice podcast.

As well as being a regular podcaster and prolific miniatures painter, Ben also organises some of the UK’s largest Warhammer Age of Sigmar tournaments, and was one of the guys who helped in the development of the Matched Play portion of the book. He knows his stuff, and this is well worth a listen.

http://baddice.co.uk/generals-handbook-review/

This release is steamrolling right into the World Event.

Nice timing. It would seem GW is now taking things a bit more serious on that front.

Ugh, a podcast.
If someone is going to listen to it, can you please summarize it?

Could be effect of phasing back into monthly releases. With monthly WD on the doorstep they either have to loosen up their "no leaks until as late as possible" policy or they will have to load up their releases on when WD gets released.

Could be £25 but £35 is more likely.

Actually yeah it's $60 so probably £35.
