I forgot about the chariot. That rocks. If only they'd release a dark elf one...

The dragon also is wonderful.

The rest I'm not fond of. They're better than they used to be, but they lack the sinuous look that elves should have (and that they acheived with both the Dark and Wood elves). They are too blocky for me, I think of elves as being slender, lithe and graceful, not words that can be applied as of yet sadly.

One day they will get them right and I'll really actually want them...

See, I don't think the Black Guard look any good. I really liked the 5th ed black guard.

Oh, and Phil - I don't get why you like the current GW Doombull. I think its a terrible miniature. I bought one, hated it, and sold it not long after.

By god sir if I had a glove long enough to reach your isle you would be slapped and most viciously.

As it is I'll just have to express my disagreement most strongly.

I'm with DWhitey on this one...

Pretty much everything in the old Dark Elf range was horrendous.

And I don't like the doombull either. I'd definitely have one if I did, but that pose is just not good...

I think Philly is blinded by his general love for the furry buggers. Parents don't recognize their ugly kids for what they are. To them, they are beautiful.

They aren't fat. But they are plastic - which is what seals the deal.

Hey, GW, quick, make some really shitty models, but make them plastic! Warlord will eat them up!

Siberius · « **Reply #1109 on:** November 11, 2009, 04:44:58 PM »

The lions are cool! They are not fat at all. They are mean. They will eat you.

The chariot horses are really nice too. I yoinked them from the person who I made the chariot up for. Probably going to incorporate them into my Dark Elves seeing as Dark Elves don't know what nice horses are.

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #1110 on:** November 11, 2009, 04:52:56 PM »

I like the Dark Rider horses.

I like the current High Elf sculpts too.

I know what you mean. I'll buy any awful looking rubbish so long as it's plastic.

The chariot and horses are good though.

Warlord · « **Reply #1112 on:** November 12, 2009, 01:00:31 AM »

Hey wait a minute, whats all this hating on me because I like the Lions?

I like the models, but because they are plastic, they are affordable to make a unit of cavalry riding them. If they were metal, they would undoubtably be more expensive, and be more difficult to adjust their poses also.

Because your hate makes me powerful.

I actually like the lions.

Phil

Siberius · « **Reply #1115 on:** November 12, 2009, 05:03:05 PM »

I haven't seen one yet, but the idea of a unit of lion cavalry is very very cool.

Midaski · « **Reply #1116 on:** November 12, 2009, 08:56:31 PM »

Does the HE chariot box come with both horses and lions?

If so what are the HE players doing with all those spare lions?

... and can I have some?

Siberius · « **Reply #1117 on:** November 12, 2009, 09:18:42 PM »

Yup, they come with both options. I don't know where all the spare lions end up.

Maybe everybody just does the lion variant cos it's too cool not to

Thats right. And then they use the horses for cavalry or character mounts.

Siberius · « **Reply #1119 on:** November 12, 2009, 11:43:54 PM »

Makes you wonder, how hard would it have been to come up with a nice dark elf general kit where they have a mounted and infantry guy with a cold one and horse so you could choose. Even better would have been a sorceress kit of that nature. Why they always do the cold one only I have no idea...

phillyt · « **Reply #1120 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:58:32 AM »

Nobody DOESN'T make white lion chariots. You would be crazy not too.

Phil

Warlord · « **Reply #1121 on:** November 13, 2009, 04:27:13 AM »

Why have GW stopped the plastic character thing? That was easily one of the things I was looking most forward to in this edition.

Since VCs, its like they forgot.

Siberius · « **Reply #1122 on:** November 13, 2009, 08:57:10 AM »

Guess we should assume that it wasn't as profitable.

Maybe they found people were buying up all the bits off bits sites and not buying any from them. I don't know really. But it was a great idea while it was going... albeit they hadn't made any brilliant ones yet...

Moxer · « **Reply #1123 on:** November 13, 2009, 10:25:37 AM »

I once saw an high elf army with a block of white lions mage entirely of chariot crew. The player didn't like the metal ones and had six crewless spare chariots...

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1124 on:** November 13, 2009, 10:33:06 AM »

You can't even make a decent dark elf chariot by combining the new cold ones with the high elf chariot, because the cold ones are rigged for riding and would look stupid pulling a chariot.

And where's my dark elf sorceress riding a horse? No one wants a cold one!

Quote from: Siberius on November 13, 2009, 08:57:10 AM

That was the problem. Did they make any besides the awful Empire and high elf ones?
