Wood Elves Rumor Roundup

[Coyote81]

Is it me or is 100pts more then the current tree man for +1 WS/BS/A, +2 LD, a random and not very useful shooting attack, and a couple random USR like frenzy/Hatred. (Hopefully Blessings of the Ancients is something worthwhile) Those small changes Offset by an reduction in ward save! (WTF, Hellpits get 4+ regen, and a treeman that cost quite a lot more get a 6+ ward, seriously) Still I2, so already have a nice inbuilt mechanic by which everyone army (almost) can just drop a treeman with pit of shades, or cannon balls which is only gets a 6+ save against the latter. I hope this is not a sign of what is to come in the book. Or else it might just be another book to put on the shelves for 10 years.

OMG! FFlirglurgbhakh! Awesomeness! I need everything, now! Good to see the Forest Spirit Ward Save is permanent, though looks like a drop down to 6+ now. Durthu gets 2D6 killing blow attacks!? Well, that's pretty sweet.

I wouldn't get too worked up about it. We don't have the full picture yet on all of his rules,

It is possible he is a little over-costed, but we can't tell until we see the full ruleset for him as some things aren't covered or are incomplete (we don't know the range of the shooting attack). If he is overcosted, I wouldn't put it more than 25-30 points off though. He offers far more to the Wood Elf army than an HPA offers to a Skaven army and he's consistent about it as well. HPAs are horribly reliant on good dice rolls (like all things Skaven).

Noa, all that aside.... ZOMG!! THE TREEMAN IS AWESOME! I NEED MORE EXCLAMATION POINTS AND CAPITALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Treemen were undercosted.
Also, shush.

I want to see better pictures and different paintjobs on the treemen because at the moment it looks like someone vomited all over an emaciated giant.

The shadow dancer looks like the old war dancer lord just in plastic. Bit I'm so happy for new wood elves it may encourage me to actually play fantasy if my army is usable.

The first photo clearly shows another new kit (shadowdancer photo).
