Immense, drifting islands of black stone hanging in the air above an azure sea, they were once the subject of foul sorceries, a powerful Chaos wizard seeking to bring them crashing down. The mages of the Eldritch Council were able to stop this foul ritual, but not before two of the islands were lost to the depths." Name changes in the Elf side: Prince on Gryphon became High Warden Archmage still Archmage? ( not really sure on the IoB name) 10 Swordmaster Lothren seaguard became Spireguard Elliyrian Reavers became Reavers So this is the info of what I have seen: - Complete rule to be used in the game ( hopefully there is an update in the warscroll) -Background narrative as always (again, hopefully we could see the lore of the elves in AoS getting more explanation) - 2 Warscroll battalion and 2 Pitched Battle Profile, one for each force - Round and square base for each model - stated in the last paragraph : "Previously only available in Warhammer Island of BLood, this is another chance to own these superbly detailed and dynamic miniatures." It is stated as "Available while stocks last" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamwulf Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Square bases for the larger models. GW doesn't really have an oval base size that could support the Griffin or the weapons teams of the Skaven (those still come with square bases). As a side note, this is where the large bulk of my Skaven army came from. Bought the set, and traded the elves for more Skaven. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadwing34 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Does anyone know how well these Skaven models perform on the tabletop in AoS? Thinking about maybe picking up this box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threejacks Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Insane deal for anyone looking to start AoS. Preorder is up now,shows shipping on Dec 24th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamwulf Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 It's a stupid good deal if you want to play High Elves or Skaven. As neither of those armies have an army book, they are pretty generic in their warscrolls. Skaven got lumped into the Chaos book, with Clan Pestilence getting an actual army book (and the best units/army fluff, etc. for Skaven ). High Elves are scattered throughout the Order Allegiance books, with some warscrolls in Order, some in a couple other books. There might be a couple Warscroll updates, namely for the High Elf leader and the Skaven Warlord, but everything else? Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
