Maybe some of the metal units pre-5th edition, the 'classic' GW elves with the less unified aesthetic.

Slightly as an aside, but how does one find this Discord server, where all these rumors seem to come from?

Damon.

Is anyone also still waiting for their MTO war wagons?

Yep.
Not too worried though, it's nowhere close to the 180 days they say to allow.
And since I've only ever had 1 item reach me before day 170something....

Not a Wood Elf player, but would totally go for a classic Orion and Ariel! The old metal Glade Guards were great and so were the Waywatchers. And I'd totally jump on the old Treemen and Dryads!

There was a bunch of Mail Order only Wardancers in extra silly acrobatic poses during the range update in the 2000s which I really, really wanted but couldn't afford as a student - these would be great

Yes.

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.

Not impossible the book was delayed out of China if it was printed there, even though UK/China shipping shouldn't really be affected, it is and it's complete chaos at the moment because nobody can plan anything.

Yes, though I expected a long wait and I have plenty to work on in the meantime.

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.

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

Other priorities.

No I got mine super quick after they dropped. Guess I just got lucky.

jAre the Warhawk Riders from the preview older pewter models, or are they new plastic kits?

The same 6th ed metals.

Returning metal minis from 6th Ed.

They've already got the WE dragon, how about the twin sisters with dragon special character(s).

Still waiting for my empire mto - and i ordered immediately.

Feels like everyone's only getting two special characters for now, and they've already got Orion.

If I could choose one thing it would be the original Wardancers.

Wood Elves are honestly getting a lot of stuff back this round. If I were to put bets on what would be good for a MTO run it would be

Standard Bearer

Skaw the Falconer

Ariel - which honestly considering Orion is back I'm curious why she wasn't part of the core wave. She'd also make a fantastic new model for the army.

Wain Lord is listed on Lexicanum, but there was also a mail-order-only wood elf chariot that I believe came with 4 horses pulling it.

The Twins on Dragon would be another cool model to see make a return for fans of the wriggly serpent dragons GW did.

There's also a more classic Orion

EDIt - oh there's more shown here https://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Wood_Elves_%28WFB%29
Mage on eagle would be neat¬!

Wow, honestly shocking how much the line changed from 5th edition in 1996 to 6th edition in 2000 once you take a look at it. A lot of the 6th edition minis have aged real well.

Thanks for the replies everyone - I definitely haven’t seen a lot of these minis and it’s cool like NH said comparing one editions minis to the next.

Man, I miss the 5E Wood Elves and Bretonnians. Great balance of elegance and detail.

I'm still waiting on a proper MTO of the 5th Ed Bretonnians Range. Starting to accept it isn't forth coming though

Just got my shipping notification today!

If I had to guess, I'd say it's because she's in AoS.

The Character can exist in both games - the same model can't. So we could easily see her classic form with the butterfly wings without it stepping on AoS's toes

The Everqueen in AOS is Alarielle, not Ariel.

IIRC, you have to get both of them and the dragon so it "counts as" one special character.

Alarielle WHFB is something I'd like to see return, but seems unlikely unfortunately.

Wait until you hear about Yvraine and Yvraine (40k)
