As a diehard High Elf fan for decades, I'm stoked that those people who have been fleeced by eBay for years can fill their boots - but this release leaves me a bit flat. We've been spoiled by having some of the best artwork and models for years. Even ignoring the full gamut of 7th/8th edition plastics, drink in the metallic greatness of 5th's mounted hero Eldroth, 6th's unsurpassed Phoenix Guard, and even Aenur for Mordheim. Artwork-wise, it's always pants-off time for the 4th Ed starter box art, the 5th ed S-tier armybook cover - and it all culminates in Paul Dainton for 7th/8th, whose work is my favourite the studio has produced for any game. The Arcane Journal design? Tepid, flat, grim, devoid of magic - sadly, it looks like digital fan art. Where has the studio spent their energy on the models? Nudging around sprue geometry of existing plastics - especially on a chaff unit like Reavers?! A very AOS-adjacent vibey pirate? A Chracian Lord - which is fine - but was it worth the energy in making a generic character and not just updating Korhil's pretty meh second iteration? I'll buy stuff because I'm addicted to the snooty white-robed gits. And I'm glad other people love the new models and finally get access to the kits. But looking at all the monkey-hands in the battalion box, the silver-helmed cartoon horses, the artwork - feels like they've missed a trick here to bring back that old HE magic that sucks people into them.

You said to let you know if we were hype, I am hype! Ive always seen my self as a Dwarf Player and have collected Dwarfs for AoS, now the Old World and plenty of other games. However with the announcement of the elves I realised I did actually have my old Island of Blood set, mostly unbuilt from when I was a lad. Ive pulled it out now and have already built the SwordMasters and SeaGuard from the set and looking at the rest of it I am seriously considering picking up an army. As you say it being all plastic apart from the special character is really appealing and although i will likely pick up a dragon the unique infantry units really appeal to me. The special characters are pretty cool, with their matching stances Korhil and the Lord of Chrace will look aloof from the unit of mid swing WhiteLions. Its a reall opportunity to pick up a new army, try some new paint styles, and make something cohesive, modern yet classic. Cheers Rob and Val keep it up!

The most fun I had in Total War Warhammer (3) was playing the Imrik campaign where you're dropped in the Darklands with extreme adversity on all sides, but if you overcome (by playing Dragon Pokemon) you snowball in power massively and form a giant Order block in the eastern region of the Warhammer world, all through the power of DRAGON. So I think a re-release of Imrik's old model (with the old S dragon too!) would be nice. I mean the new-er HElf dragon model (the one where its jumping off a tactical rock) is nice, but those S Dragons are pretty classic! So I could totally see them bringing him back for the Grognards (and perhaps if we do Dogs of War one day, I remember there is effectively a Mercenary version of Imrik (and his dragon) whose name escapes me. Also, very happy to see some Island of Blood sculpts returning, they look nice still.

white can be tricky when you start, but very easy once you learn. You generally want about 90% paint coverage of whatever is white to be at your greatest highlight. If using citadel paints: Ulthuan Grey is a good paint to get the clean white look, surprisingly enough. I would probably base paint with Rakarth Flesh, wash with blue(drak nightshade), highlight rakarth flesh, highlight Ulthuan Grey. If you want to do any edge highlights then that's when id consider pure white. As you see I'm more of a base, wash, highlight guy and haven't really messed with contrast paints much, but I'm sure theirs an approach to do it that way as well.

Yes that would be very nice but it will not come most certainly. GW did some nice repacking of old WH Modelkits but they do not make new ones beside some few Heroes or Transfers. We must predict that the ToW project still have a limited budget because GW want to min-max the investment in ToW and want AoS as their primal Fantasy game. Just look one the awesome new released AoS Vampire Models in comparison

I’m still waiting for Lion Cavalry, they are as big as a horse so it makes sense that someone must have tried to ride one

A single data point, but on a forum (yes, that still exist) I frequent the thread on TOW has been fairly quiet, with only really two regular posters (I am one of those) and a couple of sporadic ones. Since this announcement, I've seen a bunch of new people posting their interest in starting or reviving true High Elf armies, so I do think High Elves are a proper draw for a lot of people. I think we'll see an influx into the game with them that, like you say, won't be matched until Cathay are released.

Rob - you feel like High Elves are iconic because you must have started playing Warhammer in 4th edition for that high elf / goblin starter box…

I don't want to brag, but I was applying transfers while listening to this. Also, the Chracian lord doesn't belong on that base. He obviously belongs in a chariot.
