WFB High Elves - release on May 4

Yes, yes, I know. Everyone wants to know about the [alleged] Eldar release in June, but we still have one month in between now and then, so it's High Elves for May. Here is a quick summary of what can be found elsewhere so far:

Cheers.

Not a fan of the flying chariot, but everything else just drained my wallet in the very near future. The phoenix thingy...YES

(Mat Ward writing the book...noooooot so much )

I was interested in the Eagle Chariot as a possible basis for a mini-Raider for my DE, but I'm not so sure about that now.

When I first heard of the Skycutter I immediately wondered if I could make a Venom out of it but now the answer is no.

I'm sure we can stick splinter rifles on the shadow warriors though...... Well I might.

The phoenix seems nice, but I've never really been a fan of phoenixes made from other elements than fire... Though, I suppose I can paint the Frostheart in the colours of Articuno...

Matt Ward? Good that I've stopped playing WHFB some years ago (but still owning a small Dark Elves army).

Most of the release is not very interesting. But I will take a closer look at the phoenix, maybe one or two will have a place between my beast squads as base for a ravager conversion or something else.

I must say, I quite like the Shadow Warriors kit - those capes with high collars and the spiffy helms basically scream "Oh please, oh please, give me a splinter rifle"! I hate that about new releases, they always get my conversion itch going again despite me already having several projects on the way...

They are up on GW's site now. The ShadowWarriors look amazing tho are a bit expensive. Probably because its a dual purpose kit. The heads for the Maiden Guard that you can construct from that box look amazing.
