Rridericus_Rex, don’t worry. it was just a friendly reminder 
I DO like the new cover, to be honest… Also, Godbob did say HOPEFUL. Alas, he won’t be a Highborn in GWs eyes as he isn;t Citadel, but you can definitely use him in friendlies…
Godbob and his jolly rogers:
compered to the new highborn i think this one is better
and must buy some of those minis

Alas, he won't be a Highborn in GWs eyes as he isn;t Citadel, but you can definitely use him in friendlies...Did I asserted something other? I am careful to point out that I just wanted to let him know another highborn model.

Thanks.

It could’ve been misconstrued that you meant it was an official GW highborn. I knew what ya meant though

AGPO:
WOW! I might just have to do an elf army again, which goes against so many principles
Godbob and his jolly rogers:

Xander:
Holy balls! Great stuff!
Hashut’s Blessing:
Lokhir looks pretty damned sweet 
Alas, the hydra heads are a little too big compared to the body for my liking, if I ever got one (which I doubt I would), I’d bulk the body out. Okay, those new cold ones are FCKNG AWESOME! Not so much a fan of the riders though…

Something I’ve founded on druchii.net

Character Mounts:

Lots of new items!
There you go. I didn’t go into detail over character stats as well remembering all the individual bits would have been a headache! I just tried to cover all the major rumour issues and took down those details. Things that aren’t covered in detail you can assume remain the same (like Hydras still have 4+ Scaly Skin aswell as thier new Regen save, Crossbowmen still have Light Armour etc.).
If there’s anything you want clarified just ask. I didn’t cover the new items as there are alot. Suffice to say, the rumoured “Sacrificial Dagger” is in there. 25pts it allows a Sorceresses to remove one model to roll an extra dice to cast a spell after the original dice are rolled (but before dispel attempts).
If you want specifics on new items just ask but as I said there were alot and I was mainly focussing on the army list.
Hashut’s Blessing:
6 points for an elven warrior that has Eternal Hatred? That can’t be right…
Godbob and his jolly rogers:
oh i don’t know what to say some thing are great but some are awful such as they ditch kouran of the black guards and tullaris of the executioners :mad

zorn sabretooth:
there is no new hydra that 's just for the spearhead
Hashut’s Blessing:
zorn, why would they not sell the hydra separately without saying it is a special edition model available only in the spearhead? What is your source, please?
This_Is_My_Boomstick!!:
the hydra in not just spearhead, they are releasing it for £25.00 along with the other releases in august
there are a couple of shops on ebay that are selling advance orders of the dark elf stuff
zorn sabretooth:
