Well, well, well it looks like the Daughters of Khaine are going to get an update fairly soon. How do you think this will affect them? Any current players looking forward to this? Hopes? Opinions of DOK in general?

I'm looking forward to painting morathai or whatever she has become. I have a dark elf army but had no daughters of khaine (i didn't want to spend $50 for 10 models when I needed like 40 models for that army)

I'm particularly interested in why Morathi has self-described as a demi-goddess.

Everyone else is in full blown Godhood, no?

Managed to pick up nearly 40 nicely painted plastic Witch Elves for £70 - very pleased

I've been wanting to start an elf AoS army. If the new models match the current theme, I'll probably hop on the train.
Not really sure a full-on greek theme would be my taste though. I really like the knives/blood cauldron theme best.

Anyone know of a decent Talos-esque statue model so I can go full-on Harryhausen?

This will be so cool. And allying in a hydra or two will totally fit the theme. This has potentiAL to be a really cool release.

As far as I know, it was only in 40k that Furies were what they were called. I don't know if they're still around as I don't play CSM or Chaos Daemons and they're not in my brother's Death Guard book.

If you look in the AoS app, under the "Order" and "Chaos" Grand Alliances it lists Dark Elves and Harpies. That's how it's been for WHFB with both having Harpies. I could see Chaos getting Harpies in the future.

Well Furies are in the warscroll builder so it looks like yes Furies are a demon thing.

They could be fluff furies (which is appropriate) while having a different unit title to not mix up with the daemon furies.

Furies are in the Warscroll app under the old "Daemons of Chaos" heading alongside of the Hellcannon and Be'lakor.

Whenever you see free Warscroll Battalions, it means it's the legacy stuff.

It's also possible that they just get called Furies and the Chaos ones are going away. Daemons of Chaos is a "legacy" faction at the moment.

They've been putting the actual Daemons in with the followers of each God at this point.

Vigo. Spain.

If you think a new Warhammer Unit will have a name so simple as "Furies"... they will be callied "Bloodrage Furies" or something like that.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

I just wish the witch aelves were ten bucks cheaper. Even on ebay they are still 50 plus bucks. Price wise this army scares me a bit.

Other than that the army looks good, and that's pretty key. I do hope there is more than what was revealed though. An exalted serpent sorceress would be cool, or some kind of HQ that isn't Morathi...I like the gorgons and would prefer to center an army around those.

The hope is they do what they did with Stormcast and Sylvaneth and is re=price them or instead of 10 Aelves you get 20 instead.

The ones whose ascended were the ones who in the old world managed to fuse themselves to a Wind of Magic and survived to the new world. Like Tyrion was infused with the Wind of Light by Teclis and he originally had it beforehand, and both ascended together.

Malekith had the Winds of Shadow, Alarielle the Wind of Life etc.

Iron Captain, great find, thanks!
And thanks too, Cataphract ; only thing is that he’s a bit small... though admittedly probably more feasible.

You know, it was half a joke before but the more I think about it...

They may not be pirate elves, but murder crazed snake elves? I'll take it. I'll take any update to my dark elves.

Pirate Elves could well be next. The Scourge Privateers have there own section on the web store and GW seem to like basing AoS factions on old WFB subgroups.

I'm really looking forward to the background for these ladies, especially how they interact with the rest of the Order grand alliance. IIRC this is the first of the "new" AoS Order factions that could be considered (lawful)evil?

My friend has been eagerly awaiting this army since AoS started. That is to say, he’s been waiting for the first AoS era dark elf army to come along. He’s very excited with these and I can see why.

Did it ever get explained how they survived beyond sigmars silliness?

Given that most of them were rediscovered by Sigmar within their own respective realms of magic. It's pretty much assumed that they survived basically by clinging to the winds of magic and praying as Chaos ravaged the old world.

Maybe the Gods of Chaos remade them so they would have something to do to while away eternity.

You can even field the Khainite statue that usually stands atop the Shrine as a separate unit, representing an iron Avatar of Khaine.
