same here... i was expecting and praying for plastic hero kits like we'd been promised!
god damn high elf sods get all the plastic treatment and us poor druchii get shafted with nearly impossible to convert metal!>.<

oh well, at least the army book really kicks some major ass! focus familiar for instance is plain stupid good, while warriors are now only 6pts/each!!!

hopefully we will get more than just the corsairs & cold one knights in plastic as i really want to build a dark elf army as they're models are so beautiful...

cheers!

a) spearheads are generally just all of the new stuff

b) it's so bloody expensive because like the daemons, over half of the box is fething metal!>.<

cheers!

here is linky for pic if you haven't seen it already Dark Elf Spear Head

6 Heroes! Really GW! Why in the world would you do that. Why not more troops, or something usefull. And unless they majorly re-did the rules for the Hydra, and they mange to not suck, that is totally useless as well. ARG! Why oh why would you do this to me!

Ok enough theatrics for now. Seriously though I am not pleased with yet another GW let down. It seems like the more and more hope I put into new "exciting" things that GW releases the more and more disapointment I am delt back in kind. After so many Price hikes over the past 5 years, sub-par army books *cough* CSM *cough*

Hopefully the book will be as good as stitch has hinted at.

my two cents,
Servo

well, a spearhead is never ment to be an army box - it's simply a deal that gives you the bulk of the new models and essencially the army book for free a few weeks prior to actual release...
but yes, i'm very dissapointed in the lack of plastic love for the dark elves. those silly high elf sods have 7 freakin' plastic sets and by the looks of things, the dark elves will only get a crappy 2 additional plastic sets to go along with their pathetic 1 current plastic box... hardly fair!

at least the rules are damn sweet! and yes, the hydra has gotten notably better than it's current incarnation... the biggest advantages though will be the army-wide hatred special rule and dark elf warriors dropping down to only a basic 6pts/model!

cheers!
