    Dark Elf Rumours

    In an effort to pull together what few rumours we have …
    I have started threads for each of the armies rumoured to be somewhere in the pipeline.
    I will do my best to keep the first posts updated as more rumours appear in these threads.
    I have tried to remember as much as I can of what has been posted so far.
    I will have missed or forgotten some of it ... so, any rumours that have been posted please just remind me ‘who’ said ‘what’ and I will update this first post.

    Dark Elves:

    Release date: Unknown.
    Expected in 2013 (Eldargal) (Late 2013)
    Expected before WE (Birdy via Darnock)

    Author: Unknown.

    Rules: Unknown.
    Executioners axe might become a single handed weapon that you can use with a shield and grant Heroic Killing Blow? (Wustegeist)

    Models:
    There is a bunch of stuff in the pipeline for Dark elves. (Harry)
    Rumours of Witch Elves, (Eldargal, Hastings)
    Executioners (Eldargal)
    Black guard (Eldargal)
    ‘Large plastic critter’ (Eldargal)
    and plastic characters. (Eldargal)
    Plastic monster, possibly a hydra, not certain its for DE specifically. (Eldargal)
    Plastic mounted character, possibly female. (Eldargal)
    Dual kit chariot (Eldargal)
    Plastic bolt thrower (Eldargal)
    But not this much stuff. (Harry)

    BRING IT ON!

    Re: Dark Elf Rumours

    I could dream we would get that much stuff, no redesign on warriors though? Sad

    Wasn't their also a rumour in regards to the Cauldron, or was that part of the dual chariot kit? (May well have already been de-bunked)
    My plog; all things fangs! And Dark Elves.

    I think metal-begone and "large plastic critter" are pretty much irrefutable fact. That's what we've come to expect from recent releases.

    Wow-end of 2013?? Man let it be DE, HE, & WE instead. Just seems odd that the biggest magic abuser left-Book of Cheese & Teclis not withstanding- would be fixed last. I guess HE are the favored sons next to empire.

    Re: Dark Elf Rumours

    I, for one, hope there is a new Cauldron of Blood of the same epicness level as the VC Coven Throne. A Cauldron of Blood is much more than just a chariot, and it deserves a really big centerpiece kit.

    I don't remember hearing anything about a Cauldron of Blood.
    Have there been any rumours about this?

    Re: Dark Elf Rumours

    Oh, please, I really can't remember! At this point those rumours were so long ago and the thread was so full of wishlisting that I end up confusing both things. Perhaps someone said "dual plastic kit must include chariot and other thing, so CoB". I sincerely can't remember.
    Although I seem to recall someone said it was another kind of chariot (much like the HE chariot/white lion chariot kit).

    Anyway, a new CoB would be great.

    Re: Dark Elf Rumours

    I don't suppose there has been any rumours surrounding new sculpts for Dark riders and Shades has there despite how tenuous they may be?

    P.s I know one is not aloud to start threads asking questions in the News and Rumour section but is it ok to ask within a already established thread....

    Re: Dark Elf Rumours

    Lets see in the games workshop online store.
    Looks like dark riders are metal and not made fine cast.
    No dark elf chariot?

    Those become new models?

    @Dooppie
    What is, and what is not finecast has very little to do with what is remade.
    Dark Riders aren't made finecast because they're still sitting on a pile of metals that needs selling off first. They're certainly old enough to warrant a remake, but considering how many other units we've got rumours for - including several other remakes(Witch Elves, Executioners/Black Guard & Chariot), I honestly don't think there's any space left for them(as GW rarely releases more than 4 plastic kits at once)
    Chariot has been missing for... at least as long as I've been into fantasy(started when 8th came out), so that's hardly news, although you'll be happy to learn we've got rumours of a new one.

    Re: Dark Elf Rumours

    This is not a rumour but I wonder; How come there is not more rumours about Dark Elves than this, at least a couple of pages of wishlisting, like the other armies have. I think I remember a thread about Dark Elves rumours and now there seems to be nothing. Did the Finecasting (mailorder only) of the specials and rare unit mean that the new release is postpone? Sorry about this post, but I just want all you rumour mongers to wake up!

    Finecasting means they have run down stock of the metal versions, but are not ready to make/release a plastic kit. See the Hive Tyrant.

    As has been said many times; (semi)reliable rumours are hard to come by these days. If the rumourmongers aren't coming around, it's likely because they have no rumours to give.
    The lack of wishlisting is curious, but is most likely due to the wishlisters being busy with the armies that we have more substantial rumours about.

    Re: Dark Elf Rumours

    I have one and only one rumor to give. No you wont belive me, but is based on something very similar that's already happened. To explain the rumor I must explain the past.
    Tomb Kings DOE, was made from a multi hit toy to a HKB weapon that is not a great weapon so you can use a shield with it.
    Exe Axe, will more than likely become something alot like the DOE, not a great weapon can use shield with it and grant HKB.
    That is all.
    The Machine will grind you down.

    Good, I'm glad about plastic Hydras. Curse those metal heads and getting them to fit right!

    If the rumour of a new plastic Executioners kit is true then that would be nice. I'm dreading putting together the metal ones I have. All those thin metal blades....

    If you pin them, it actually comes out really well. I understand the pain, though. I would love to have our elite infantry in plastic.
