The Warhammer Dark Elves Are Abroad For October
September 24, 2013 by brennon
Building on many a rumour from the past few months it looks like the Dark Elves are indeed going to be a reality come October. Check out the teaser trailer above for the confirmation from Games Workshop.
I'm interested as always to see what they have managed to do with this army and the artwork and models should be great looking, hopefully anyway. I am looking to see a vast improvement on the basic infantry models that have been very much in need of an update.
I've had a bit of a soft spot for these coast raiders ever since I read the Malus Darkblade books and while it's bordering on grudge-worthy territory to like an Elf army it would be cool to have a force of these cutthroats.
What do you think?

I may have to stick my head in the sand throughout October. Buying another Warhammer army would be very foolish. Very foolish indeed.
Aaaaaaand having seen pics of the new stuff, I’m over it.
See I had the opposite thought lol. I saw the stuff and wished I’d waited a bit before choosing my new army for Fantasy.

It’d be dull if we all agreed. What did you choose in the end? I’m assuming Dwarves are the old amry 🙂
*army. Gah!
I went for Vampire Counts as my second army. Still needs to grow…a lot…but I was kinda won over by the Wight Lord they made lol.

There are finally pics of the new models on BoLS forum.
@brennon I hear that’s a problem. VC player I know just bought another 80 zombies. It’s almost enough to stop me moaning about these blocks of 50 state troops.
“we destroy all in our way” and “we take what we want”, yep sounds like slogans for GW alright … nice little video you made there, on a coffee break most likely
Photos darkelves, chinees forum : loking very good i say

Just looked at the models. Oh dear. What is going on at gw. Epic fail is the phrase I believe.
I liked the spearmen and the snake thing, but the Witch Elves, cauldren, Hydra (& Hydra abomination) shadow blade and the non helmeted heads are disappointing to say the least. I really cannot afford to buy GW models this year but being as I have collected Dark Elves for 21years I was seriously concerned by this perspective release as I would be obliged to invest if the models were sexy. Seems I was worried about nothing.
Point of interest: Still no plastic Dark Riders…. The current ones being 10ish years old….
Ok I was wrong new kits rumored to be released are: Dark Riders/Warlocks Executioners/Black guard Witch Elves/Noble nutter ladies Cauldren/Madusea Kit Warriors Hydra/Kraken Shadowblade Also heard whispers of Hag Queen, Beastlord, Corsair Lord but will wait and see… I will likely have to invest something in dark elves then and I think the Witch Elves might actually look alot better in RL so I might have to get a third Witch Elf 60 woman Horde (So I can field a 4th Edition Hoard, a 6th Edition Horde and an 8th Edition Horde) I have 4 hydra’s already so the kit… Read more »
Yeah I love the new Cauldren, but I think the old Hydra version was WAY better. The new Hydra looks like a Muppet. No teeth, just sock puppet heads. I don’t know what they were thinking on that model.
By the way… BEASTS of WAR, when are we getting a review on the Dark Elf army update???
