Pics of this weekends WD are circulating, it looks like End Times: Elves is going to be on us before we get anything Blood Angel related:  Sucks that its the old school version of malekith on the cover, it looks like the rumors of "no new models for elves" is true - if they were going to remake any models, it would have surely be the 20 year old Malekith on Black Dragon. Luckily you can make a pretty good conversion using the Dark Elf dragon from Storm of Magic, and clever use of the new plastic kit bits for executioners/black guard. As usual, the army lists in the book are Legion of Asur, or something like that - all the elves under one banner. Apparently it also has 2 other army lists, one under Malus Darkblade and one that lets you play as the elves that survive the end times, after a new phoenix king has been decided...So that's awesome. |

Literally just read that blog post - holy shit man, this is getting real! The main army list in the End Times: Khaine...is centered around the Phoenix King MALEKITH. *spit take*
This should be good, I'm excited to see what the full WD article reads like. So far the tidbits I've picked up from the internet are nothing short of jaw dropping, from Tyrion as the Avatar of Khaine, to Malekith as the new phoenix king after Finubar is found murdered, to Araloth entering the realm of chaos with a host of wood elves to save Teclis and Lileath, who entered the realm of chaos themselves to try to save Ulthuan from the daemonic incursions...lots of death, lots of characters deleted it sounds like.

So elves bascially just became the best, hands down.
So glade guard, wild riders, HE archmage in a phoenix guard bunker, bolt throwers, sisters of avelorn, doomfire warlocks, dark riders.
yeah, okay.

dudes... imgur.com/a/Xl38NSo...spoiler. The third list that wasn't in the WD is the Host of the Eternity King - and boasts a beefed up 1000pt version of malekith, which obviously means that he defeats Tyrion as avatar of khaine, and not only keeps his crown as phoenix king but is upgraded to some kind of god-status apparently. Similar to Karl Franz Ascendent, etc. He's super beastly. And his army list is basically the "all the elves" army list, while the Tyrion army list is basically just HE/DE with DE rules (no martial prowess), and Malekith's first list is HE/DE/WE with HE rules (no murderous prowess), the Eternity King list is HE/DE/WE with ALL THE RULES. Seriously. Every elf model gets murderous prowess, martial prowess, +1 to cast High/Dark magic, Forest Strider, and the WE bonus for being in forests. So amazing, somebody make an army of these dues to put up against my Chaos/Beasts legion. |
