Good morning, I have a confirmed leak But I can't post the link in my first post.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I'll just leave it here.

Yep, those are the ones I have. The standard bearer head is a little weird, but the rest are pretty solid.

Was there a High Elf MTO and I missed it, or are we moving to Beastmen without a HE MTO?

GW feel like they are in a bit of a strained moment release wise. There's still some stuff from Christmas that hasn't been released yet but was previewed.

The HE release has been stretched out a lot; maybe GW are going to do their MTO along with Beastmen at once.

The leak above (by someone with only 1 post so take it as you will) suggests the last of the core HE coming alongside beastmen


Heck the big Soulblight update is only just happening this Sunday

I'd wager that the HE MTO goes up when those models go on pre-order.

I just want to know what is actually on the High Elves MTO run... there are so many minis from the High Elf range I don't need, but would happily tack onto an MTO order.

I don't think the content of the High Elves Made to Order wave was ever announced. Only snipped I could find on community is this:

The first wave of High Elves will be available to pre-order this Saturday. They’ll swiftly be followed by a second wave and a Made to Order release, and perhaps even a third wave down the line. And then it’s Beastmen, and then Wood Elves, and then… The Old World Almanack will return on Thursday.

I just want to play Beastmen to be able to spam as much Preytons as I can. Like all old FW Monstrous Arcanum models - amazing stuff.

As for the Made to Order offer, there are four sets on their way: a Mage on Unicorn, plus classic Nobles, Heroes, and Mages. These miniatures will all be very familiar to fans of various vintages. The Mage on Unicorn is a Stormweaver – a type of Elven Mage often seen alongside the Sea Guard – and a true classic, dating all the way back to 1993.

The heroes are a selection from 6th edition of Warhammer, and there’s another set of nobles from longer ago than that, including one hero you might remember from the original Warhammer Quest…

I sure hope that means the Elf Ranger is returing!



I never should have gotten rid of mine back in the day. I won't make that mistake again.

Him and The Sword of Twilight from Mordheim have been on my list since i started collecting.

Thanks for that! Silly me was searching for "high elves" and did not get that article in my results, since it talks about "high elf"

By a strange coincidence I've been using Aenur the Sword of Twilight to represent the Elf Ranger in Warhammer Quest ...

I have all the WHQ card bits and bobs for the Ranger, but not the official mini. If I recall correctly he was/is the only model representing an Elf from the remaining Old World colonies/enclaves in human lands (as distinct from the Wood Elves). Very much looking forward to nabbing him.

The WHQ Bretonnian Knight showed up in a MTO a while ago, so I have no doubt the Elf Ranger will show up too.

It would be cool if they did a MTO of the older dynamic Korhil model. That model is lean and less bulky, and would actually be better suited to represent the younger Korhil of TOW timeline.
Thats the model I used to have. and always liked it (but I know some people really dont).

Why not just get Aenur from ebay? He's incredibly cheap and common there.

That is the model I am using for my Korhil, he fits the old metal White Lions I am using for my Chrace army better. The newer metal sculpt for Korhil would have him absolutely towering over the smaller metal minis.

Seems the leak was wrong - it's Wood Elves not Beastmen going on preorder this week. Dang I like those Wood Elf dice quite a bit.

Ohh they brought back the beastmaster unit for woodelves - going to be VERY hard to resist them a second time around.

Any guess on how much for the frogs?
US$80 for the pair?

It still feels so insane to me seeing these old ass models being marketed and sold.

I specifically remember buying the Great Eagle for my first WHFB army, ~20 years ago, and worrying that it was an absolute shoe-in to be redone in plastic ASAP and I might just want to wait for that. lmao.

Bit of a weird mix of High Elf and Wood Elf bits.

Yay wood elves!
Will be hard to pass them up. I got the dragon, an old treeman and some other stuff in safe keeping for a friend that dropped out of the hobby late 90s.
The battalion box will go a long way.

(just realised I got loads of dryads and treemen for sylvaneth aswell, even some stag riders )

Nice to see the two High Elf releases people have been wondering about get a release slot.

Anyone else notice that the armies of infamy for Wood Elves are centered around the 2 named characters in the book...I don't think most other armies had that right? Sea Wolves with Frydaal and the troll dude with Orcs. That's all that comes to mind - this might be the first where both are tied to the AoI.

Maybe not specifically by name, but:

- Sir Cecil Gastonne was meant to go into an Exile army.
- the orcs and goblins nomadic waaagh had Kiknik
- The dwarf expeditionary force had Burlok
- The empire knightly Orders has Harald Gemunsen
- The empire Nuln army has General Hans von Löwenhacke
- the high elves Chrace army has Korhil
- the high elves Sea Guard army has Ishaya Vess.

Most of the background about these armies of infamy also often center around these characters.

It has been something of a theme of these books to give the armies of infamy a special character.

EDIT: is it just me that was under the impression that GW told us that Beastmen were next? Also, it seems like eveything for Wood Elves that was announced is accounted for in this one wave? It's also weird that GW doesn't seem to be as much invested in Beastmen and Wood Elves as in the other armies; Beastmen seem to get just one new model and Wood Elves (incredibly) gets none.

Don't forget Royal Clan with Ungrim having rules specifically for Royal Clan.

And Beastmen will have one centered around Ghoros.

I’m bummed out it’s not beastmen next. Can’t wait to see their armies of infamy in more detail, especially the monster centric list.
And wanted to get myself that new awesome shaman in time for my bd. Oh well.

Glad to see some iconic metal wood elf models come back though, they hold up really really well.

The rumour discussion on Discord is centred around the idea that there was some problem that delayed the Beastmen - possibly a printing error or something, and that they should have been in the week when there were no pre-orders recently. The Wood Elves have either been brought forward or are keeping to their original timeslot so as not to disrupt other releases.

I don’t recall seeing any lists of Made To Order for the Wood Elves, did I miss it?

MTO does seem to have faded with each army release.

What would people wanna see MTO for Wood Elves? Not trying to be a smart butt, I'm genuinely curious.
