Looks fun for a casual game for sure! I'd combine the two Sea Guard units into one bigger unit, save some points by having just one command group. Remove the upgrades from the Eagles and pare it down to just two. I'd also either make the Sea Helm a Battle Standard Bearer, or free up enough points fo...

I do kind of wish they had kept the charge rules for 8th as it concerns wheeling. But since a failed charge moves the whole distance rolled, it'll still be neater and faster than having to move only half their charge range like in 7th. It was always a slow arduous pain to have to miss the charge, th...

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the rules are like for Archmages and Mages. I like that magic has been unshackled from one single phase of the game. And it's far too early to assume we're going to be at a disadvantage based on what other editions are like. I could imagine a world where Arc...

Well, for another example: You have a Star Lance High Elf prince in a unit of Dragon Princes with the Banner of Eternal Flame. They charge something with Regeneration. Can I use my Dragon Princes first to hopefully remove Regeneration so that my Prince can then attack without having to worry about ...

Phenomenal work! Would you say that the airbrush step saved you time in the long run? The results were pretty fantastic once you went in and tidied up edges.

Zenithal priming with any of the new paint sets that act like Citadel Contrast paints or Army Painter Speed paints would make for the fastest method to get your armies painted and on the table. I would search YouTube for Zenithal priming tutorials, and Contrast paint tutorials.

These batreps are impressive, keep up the good work!

Look like most cavalry are still on 25 x 50? I think it's been confirmed that cavalry bases are going to be bigger, but no official size has been stated. Some folks are speculating 30mm x 55mm or 30mm x 60mm from looking at photographs. Either way, my Dragon Princes and Silver Helms will be glad fo...

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/07/24/old-world-development-diary-the-more-things-change-the-more-they-stay-the-same/ Interesting informational tidbits, and looks like there are a lot of High Elf models being showcased here! Pretty much all of the plastics from 7th edition onward, along wi...

My money's on them bringing back all the plastic minis from 7th and 8th edition, with characters in metal/resin, and again, hopefully a rework of the core units. I'm thinking new models for High Elves will be limited to characters if the Tomb King/Bretonnia previews are anything to go by.

Looks like the "High Elf Realms" are officially part of the core factions being released along with The Old World and I couldn't be happier about this confirmation. I was kind of under the impression that we were going to get some rules in a Ravening Hordes style supplement, and I was abso...

Loremasters are some of my favorite characters, and that's a damn fine conversion!

I am curious what they'll come up with rules wise. We'll definitely see the return of ranked armies. But I wonder if we'll be seeing huge spearman blocks. One of the issues with warhammer was that you needed to assemble and paint 20-50 "boring" spearmen and archer models to be able to pla...

Finished up some cavalry and some additional spearmen for my slowly growing army. The grey is almost entirely slain for my High Elves. As much as I love my army, I do hope that the old High Elf core plastic kits get some love in The Old World. I'd love to see the spearmen look as good as the Island ...

After Adepticon, I've heard from industry folks that have spoken with GW friends that a November release is happening. The rulebook is in a pretty complete state at this time. Obviously, take that with a grain of salt as nothing is certain until GW officially makes a statement, but it seems to fit n...

Excellent, thanks guys. Although to correct something you said Prince of Spires, the prince in this example would not get flaming attacks as he's equipped with the Star Lance. If it were a mundane lance, then yeah, but as I understand it, flaming/poisoned attacks are not conferred to magical weapons.

Well, for another example: You have a Star Lance High Elf prince in a unit of Dragon Princes with the Banner of Eternal Flame. They charge something with Regeneration. Can I use my Dragon Princes first to hopefully remove Regeneration so that my Prince can then attack without having to worry about R...

I have a rules question regarding ASF. Say you have a BSB in a unit of Spearmen, and the BSB is equipped with the Sword of Might. The Spearmen have I5, and the BSB has I7. Does the BSB need to attack first, or can I have the Spearmen attack first because they both have ASF?

Veeery nice, I LOVE that primary color. Definitely feels regal, but also ominous and "dark".

Thanks guys! Mostly I'm really glad to have finished pretty much all the Skaven I have. I played a battle with my buddy who also has a Skaven army of his own, but he took mine out for a test run so he wouldn't have to transport his. We cheated a little and let him have two Hell Pit Abominations and ...

Holy hell, a very generous co-worker, and fellow wargamer, has sold me TWO Lothern Skycutters that he had gathering dust in his garage. Apparently he traded Warmachine models for these back when he was working at Privateer Press. He basically wanted the crew for a Bloodbowl High Elf team. Lucky for ...

Hot damn, I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Your sculpting is absolutely inspirational. Incredible stuff.

Finally got 2000 points of 7th/8th Edition Skaven. Added 20 Plague Monks, 10 more Stormvermin, a Hellpit Abomination, a Warp Lightning Cannon, and a Grey Seer on a Screaming Bell. I still have my High Elves in the queue, but I need four more Ellyrian Reavers and they stalled me out. The damn details...

I really think the way he's changed great weapons is awful, especially since armor was buffed across the board. I think Swordmasters would be just fine if they kept the +2S, maybe with a "Greatsword of Hoeth" special rule. Phoenix Guard now having 2A with Polearms, the improved Heavy Armou...

Niiice! Let us know how you do at the tourney. Best of luck!

Small update. Really wish I could have gone back in time and made myself clean up this chariot a lot better before assembling it. Either way, I've got 500 points of 8th Edition High Elves brewing for a painting competition on the Old World Discord. It includes a Battle Standard Bearer, 5 Ellyrian Re...

Yeah, I've decided this chariot crew is going first. I'm in the process of cleaning it up and regluing a few parts with some plastic cement to make sure they're absolutely solid! Looking forward to also putting this into a list in the near future!

Hail friends. With the winter lull right around the corner, I'm looking to get back into some High Elf painting. I've got a battle standard bearer, a mage on foot, a lion chariot, 8 silverhelms, and 16 spearmen. Not sure where to start, but looking forward to starting! https://i.imgur.com/OXhMf7M.jpg

Probably strongest but other respectable builds exist. I remember fighting a decent list at the time which was built around infantry. It had a spear block, two units of archers, two RBT, Swordmaster block and some cavalry. The magic was strong, Curse of Arrow Attraction caused me a lot of trouble. ...

(first post here) Does anybody know why Imrik was left out of 7th-8th edition, but his magic items are available? As a big fan of his character it's annoying that he wasn't just left out, but actively dismantled into just a handful of items you could give to anyone. He's in the End Times rulebooks ...
