Yep, that is one hundred percent the existing war dancer model. Don't forget, WD has a habit of putting existing kits in alongside new ones in a 'hey, you can also get is cool stuff for your army as well' style.

Luckily the old wood elf stuff looks still good. The colours so far used are a little to bright for my liking.

Judging by that Wood Elf character (the actual Wood Elf, not the Treeman) and their rules, it looks like the Woodies aren't getting a "prowess" of some sort? I read somewhere that their hand weapons are getting the Fight in Extra Ranks special rule, and maybe Armour Piercing, but nothing aside from that. Interesting.

The models look very nice though.

That could be justified lore-wise, the prowess rules for the other elves represent their discipline and militarism, the Wood Elves have a very different culture.

Check out Araloth's rules again. The hand weapon is nothing special but the spear - which is just called "Asrai Spear," implying it's not a unique or magic weapon and all the spears employed by the Wood Elves will be the same - is Armour Piercing along with the usual Fight in Extra Ranks rule you'd expect of a spear.

Wonder if I could combine Treebloke with Wraithknight to make an Exodite thing.

MY IDEA. Patented. By me. Just then. So nyeh.

damn that treeman looks amazing, seriously resurrecting my idea of Avelorn wood elves to go with my high elves

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.

And Treewhack.

My poor Ogre Tyrant. He's gonna get knacked!

He is referring to the two units on both sides of the obvious wardancer lord.
