Some Dark Elf Rumours

[Lord Dan]

Hi mates,

on witch page, where the dark elf rules en model rumours. ?

Opening post, my man.

[fijbr]

He wants to know what page out of these 17, are the rumors for models and rules to be found. I think he wants a summary instead of searching. I am guessing English isn't a strong language for him (nothing wrong that that, as long as it's not his native language).

Thanks Cxt. Both your'e assumtions are right. Englisch isn't my native language, and indeed I mean the new rules rurmours I though where listed by Eldargal.
If i'm correct he wrote somewhere along the lines of: decrease of Bolt thrower costs, better khainites and new units. But I cant find that post anymore.

All thanks for your patience,

[Lord Dan]

I'm not aware of a post by Eldargal that specifies anything about new units or point costs. Currently we're anticipating a new book late next year, so any army book specifics are almost guaranteed to be speculation anyway.

I've quoted below the only real rumors we have so far, which as I mentioned were added to the opening post:

Oki-slash-doki, I have more Dark Elf rumours, from the same source as the first lot and also wcorroborated with a reliable rumourmonger:
The rumours:
-plastic monster, possibly a hydra, not certain its for DE specifically which isn't a problem with SoM scrolls of binding
-plastic mounted character, possibly female
-dual kit chariot (this was mentioned by others already)
-plastic bolt thrower

Witch Elves, Black Guard and Executioners also all with extra coroboration. Late 2013 still the most likely slot for release.

Would your first language be German, by any chance?

I would have swore that I've red some rules rumours somewhere., some other topic perhaps?

No not german, Dutch,. from: And as a finishing touch, God created the dutch

[Indrazor]

Nah, it is when God created heaven and earth, the dutch made the netherlands.

[eldargal]

I've not heard any rumours relating to rules, just models so whoever posted about costs and better units wasn't me.

[jtrowell]

Also, note that any rumours about rules so early would almost for sure be 100% false and/or just a wishlist being repeated as rumour.

[popomojo]

Maybe not.

[Lord Dan]

Maybe not.

What?

Are you confirming some rumors to be true (in which case you'd need to provide some, because we don't have any) or are you just stating that rumors of rules could, technically, be true?

[Gorbad Ironclaw]

Maybe he was just testing his keyboard and happened to spell out two words by accident?

[Archangelion]

It is possible that some of the rumours concerning models/units could be true, as the sculpts could be finished, and someone could have seen them. There being a new Hydra model isn't something that is really in question, it's almost a given.

[FaeLi-N]

...there being a new Hydra model isn't something that is really in question, it's almost a given.

Uhh... what?

[jtrowell]

Yes, could you precise please ? For what I know, we have more solid rumours for a new Wood Elve giant Treeman that anything about a new hydra, unless I mssed a round of rumours ?

[Morkash]

Wasn't there a new one released with the 7th edition AB? I can't imagine it being replaced unless it can be dual-kitted with something else.

[Lord Dan]

There are no rumors of a new Hydra on any of the forums, gents. Sorry.

[simonbeard]

And I believe it was just finecasted too, and general consensus seems to be that dolls that are given the finecast treatment don't get plastic kits...at least they haven't yet.

[eldargal]

Well, the plastic beastie my source saw may have been a hydra, but he wasn't sure. So we don't have a rumour that explicitly says 'it isn't a hydra'. But it probably isn't, if only because of the old one being Finecasterised.

I love this thread. It's like someone bought the cereals not shaped like letters of the alphabet and is trying to form words out of them.

Also as evidenced by the recent string of releases GW will do anything to toss some extra monsters into the mix.
