 dark elf rumors
basically, a bunch of stuff i've gleaned from druchii.net & from other dark elf fanatics at HQ in oakville;
- the rumored army-wide special rule will be hatred. however, it's also rumored that against dark elves, this will become eternal hatred AND charging dark elf units will also receive +1A!
- the lords/heroes section is pretty much as is, the main rumor pointing to the beastmater being dropped as he's not really utalised.
instead, he's rumored to be replaced by a witch elf hag!
- dark magic is said to really be changing... the dark elves are also likely losing their +1 to-cast bonus. overall, their magic is thought to become 100% focused on maiming and killing so we could lose supportive spells like word of pain...
- executioners are losing killing blow. instead they'll get a new kind of armour piercing rule to give them some extra bite against heavy cavalry and such.
- cold ones may be getting a rule which stops them from going stupid all the time.
- beastmaster is rumored to become an upgrade for a manticore or hydra. the manticore could also become a rare choice. rummors also hint at the druchii getting a new monster as a rare choice!
- model-wise there's rummors for plastic coldone knights, dark riders & corsairs. this seems pretty likely as each army is supposed to have all plastic core choices + 1 or 2 plastic non-core units...
also there's alot of hinting at a plastic box for dark elf nobles!
cheers!
