    Watched it with audio now.
    ...and I am confused. I interpreted the visual content as pro Slaanesh but the voice talks about fighting Chaos...
    And that talking of a dead god... I am clearly missing something, I gave to read some more old world lore I guess...

    Also she sounds very angry/sad/disappointed/bitter. A dangerous combination for women in general.... I know that from experience...

    If you look closely on the paintings, the Medusae are actually fighting the daemonettes on striders. Morathi has escaped the Dark Prince (Slaanesh), she hates Chaos too.

    And I think the dead god is a reference to Khaine? Not sure about that part I'd have to hear it again for context.

    I thought it was referencing Nagash, but Nagash is a death god, not a dead god. So it might be Khaine, all the previous gods died in the end times.

    Apparently there are going to be 2 new books for Elves - one for Light Elves and one for Shadow Elves, to represent the forces of Hysh and Ulgu, respectively. I imagine that all the High Elves are going to be part of the Light Elves list and the Dark Elves are going to go with the Shadow Elves, which fits that video nicely - Morathi being the 'Shadow Queen' would link very nicely with Shadow Elves from Ulgu.

    Perhaps she will be returning with a new model, with some more Shadow Elf models like the Tenebrael Shard coming out after all this rubbish with Adeptus Custodes and Thousand Sons has ceased. The only thing is that the only Light Elf model out at the moment, the stupidly-named Mistweaver Saith, looks far too Dark Eldar-ish for my liking...

    Nothing out of the ordinary but the girl back then had the same tone in her voice so that video immediately triggered the warning lights in my mind. Good work by the voice actress!

    Yikes. Dare I ask what you may have done (or failed to do) to induce such wrath? :cyclops:

    Sure. Not being interested much in her but in her friend while she thought she was the target. So she didn't know whether to hate or love me which lead to some...interesting behaviour. (She went back and forth for a while which confused the hell out of everyone including her and me). In the end she chose hate and basically tried to explode the social circle.
    Edit: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

    It was for the best though since a little while later I met the woman I am now married to. :)

    Kinda puts Khorne to shame!

    Or perhaps Khorne is a woman scorned? :wideyed:

    All's well that ends well! :)

    Ok but where does it come from? To me it sounds weird that GW would publish such a plan months in advance...

    Ah ok.
    Well, pretty interesting then, (although of course taken with a grain of salt since plans might change).

    What about the Wanderers? Do you think they'll be classified as Light Elves or will they remain an entire faction of their own? o_O
