Brother Glacius Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Meh. The rumors say they are going to an almost pure skirmish force. Bleah. So much for all of the eternal guard models I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Meh. The rumors say they are going to an almost pure skirmish force. Bleah. So much for all of the eternal guard models I own.Are you kidding? MSU armies are fantastic, and Elves excel in it. Eternal Guard rumor is the only bad thing I've heard and even then they can be used to substitute and fill other models. If the Stag Knights from the leaked photo are made into models it will be one sexy army. I say wait for the book to come out and ignore the rumors. But skirmishing units are great and don't use elves to anvil anyways, that's what the trees are for. (the walking kind, not the terrain.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well don't ya.know in 9th edition everything will be in loose formation because of the game moving towards skirmish scale like 40k. Skirmish rule will just provide a bonus to cover saves and dangerous terrain. /salt salt salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If" they do it you can bet we will be playing 8th for a very long time as GW scratches their heads as models continue to sell but their books sit on the sales floor unloved and dusty.

McNathanson Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 That Elven Bow sounds awesome!!Congrats to Woodies players... now if they don't release Bretonnia next I'm going to build a pumpkin Trebuchet, and lay siege to GW HQ!

JMGraham Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Treemen with hatred? *drool*. What's rapid fire? Do they mean no move and shoot penalties (like it is now), or do they mean 2 shots within half range. Or is it a different USR? I hope there are still no move and shoot penalties, as I really like the fluid nature of the army now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hmm... I reckon rapid fire means quick to fire, which means no move and shoot penalties, and always stand and shoot. That'd be great. That, plus reroll ones, plus always s4 would be incredible! Raindog, where'd you get those rumors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieger Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks for posting the rules rumors Raindog. It all sounds pretty cool to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 High Elven archers are looking at their bows in disgust and/or weeping uncontrollably. Maybe someday they won't suck. But then again...yes they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I am going to guess that rapid fire would allow them to either shoot once or twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicFlava Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 looks like i may have to flesh out my wood elf army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratrek Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Stag cav? Fantastic. Would be even better if they're MC and use the Stag rules/profile from the Storm of Magic but I doubt it. I love those things. They're like 6th Flesh Hounds I've been saving up WE models for the past bit. Hopefully they'll get a nice and inpsiring book so I want to break them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Really hoping the book sucks because I already love the models for Wood Elves and I Don't need a fourth army. If there are Stag Riders I will be very mad at the book for teasing me like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well no doubt about that. Skirmishers suck balls in this edition. Suck army that will rely on tons of terrain to even remotely try to put up a threat. Or, it will be a huge gimmick army that everyone will hate to play. Either way, balls.

Munkie Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I am going to guess that rapid fire would allow them to either shoot once or twice. My money is that's a literal translation of quick-to-fire. Multiple shot str 4 at 30" range seems pretty absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm waiting for the actual rules to pop up so that Dkeift can lay down the "warhammer is ruined" post. Otherwise, I'm not terribly interested in the fancy lads from the woods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Brother you are of course welcome to your opinion and from some of the rumors I can see your concern. That said we need to see the book as a whole. I think it would be a mistake to write them off yet. Since Tome Kings the army books have been very good at striking a good balance. Well maybe not WoC but hey. Also many of the elf units might be skirmishes, maybe not, but that is only part of theirarmy. It does scream MSU but that is what Wood Elves do. With or without lots of terrain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I'm not terribly interested in the fancy lads from the woods. Oh I do not need actual rules to lay down the "W4Rh4MM3R 1S RU1N3d!!!1!!!111!!!!". However, I do like making you wait, so I'll hold off for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Show me the book, then I'll make judgement. What I will say is how would a skirmish based army in the new book be any different from the skirmish based army in the current book? You'd just be getting new rules, new units/models, and if the army works now it will work with the new book. Let's see the book first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
