I dunno, I actually think it's really interesting. I don't understand why anyone is complaining about End Times- its the best thing to happen to WHFB in a decade!
Me too.
I've not read the End Times books yet (and nor have others on this thread by the sounds of it!), but excerpts I've seen certainly suggest that whats happening is considered to be VERY bad.
I've read both supplements and am in the process of reading "The Fall of Altdorf". Nagash book was great. Glottkin is noticeably weaker. I'm afraid that the quality loss will continue.
Teclis arranged for the death of his NIECE! in an attempt to weaken Nagash. He must have had no other choice against that kind of power.
To that end, the Dark Elves must also realise that whats happening is far more important than their millenia long civil war. They are both dying races and need to band together to survive. They can resolve their own war later.
This is such a big drama. I love that Teclis, who was always shown as a noble, albeit cunning soul, suddnedly has no qualms for sacrificing kids and scheming with his arch-nemesis. And no, the "let's postpone our civil war because LOL chaos" isn't really working for me. Chaos was a threat for millenia and just know the Elves have took it seriously? The Battle for Finuval Plain was thought between High Elves and Dark Elves AND their Chaos allies, including Daemons. Did someone at GW had a brain fart or something? Forget much?
My
GUESS!:
-The elves will get a combined army book- WE/DE/HE. United under...... Tyrion? Driven mad by grief at the loss of his daughter, and taking up the Sword of Khaine as Aenaerion once did.
ASF for everyone! 185 pts Hydras for everyone! Witch Elf bunkers for everyone! Balance? Screw that, we'll be able to field two of the most powerful mages in the game in the SAME army. Awesome.
-We already know the Everqueen has gone to Athel Loren to heal Ariel. I reckon Ariel, in her demi-god form, will be the new "big kit" for the Elves. A huge, angry, moth-elf demi-god. Sounds like a suitable 1000pt model to me to match the others!
Tyrion's Linkin Park fueled, crawling-in-my-skin, angst rage is literally the worst, anime-inspired, emo wankfest I've ever saw in Warhammer. It's THAT bad. They've turned an utter, elven badass, a guy who shown all those elf-are-sissies haters into a sissy because MAH DAUGHTER is dead. Boo hoo. He'll probably repaint his armour black and get some spiffy name, like "Darkbrood MacAngst" or something.
Yes I am mad, sue me. I've played HE for many years and can't stand to watch my second favorite faction going to sh**t.
