8th Ed. rumours

[T`hinker`er]

News about the upcoming High Elves book, with some photos of the new models (ice and fire phoenix, flying chariot with a RBT onboard...)

Looks like we'll have our work cut out for us coming up with new strategies come May: http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?29794High-Elves

Lizzies in Aug! Possible anyway

That would be great to see. I hope they don't nerf things too much though, I've barely started with this army!

I think lizards need a good balance and hopefully some more colorful army options. They seem kinda dull.

There will probably be a few good choices for slanns in the magic items/disciplines (if they keep em).

Hoping lizards are less magic reliant in the new book.

As for timelines on 9th edition. I think GW has decided the pecking order of new army books. I'm thinking dwarfs, dark elves before 9th is released. Maybe beasts and skaven too but I doubt it. Bretts and Woodies will be the starter set for 9th to get things off to a bang in the income department. Gw loves it when people buy those starter kits for years and years just for the minis... And we know woodies and bretts are on their knees for new minis.
