awsome did you go to games day and get those pics? im going to the baltimore one so hopfully my stepdad will let me take his camera. now what wood elven mods would we be if we didnt bring the good people the pics, huh? lucky. in august im gonna have no money but mabye i can save up!........nope. not hapnin. i think that they are just putting the glade gaurd and archers together and just having the option to have either bows or spears. makes things more simple than having two seperate units. doncha think?

thats more logical then my idea! I was starting to hope they phased out glade guards. Because lets face it a 16 Block of WE just doesnt seem right. Well, at least Dryads will be boxed CHEAPNESS!

Here we go. some info about Woodies. I got this off a forum posted by a global moderator known as Rasmus (thanks) and he usually knows what he is talking about so. I assume most of this is true
Released 2nd half 2005 Everything being redone The background is changing, becoming darked and grimmer - you don't want to go into the woods today..... The Wood Elves are not nice people. Not good, not evil, just not very nice. Very unpredictable Loren is as much a part of the army as the Wood Elves themselves Forest spirits - the Wood Elves have changed the forest spirits as much as the forest spirits have changed the Wood Elves. The army list is being written so you can take all Wood Elves, all Forest Spirits or a mix of the two. Trying to make it fun for both sides The Wood Elves are an attacking, dynamic army The penalty for shooting at long range is back, but Wood Elves don't get the move and fire penalty any more Unspecified advantage to shooting at short range (later i found out it was s4 shots biggrin.gif) Every unit has a unique role. There will be new units, including more up-close-and-personal units.
Wood Elves Q&A
How similar will the Wood Elves be to the Beastmen, in terms of gameplay? - Not really similar. We are trying to make them a good match-up, though. If the Wood Elves have too much skirmishing shooting, then its too annoying for the opponent.
There has been a rumour going round that the reason Wood Elves got put back was due to you working on plastic slayers. True or false? - False. Ogre Kingdoms pushed WE back, but they're still only 6 months behind where I'd planned to release them when I took over Warhammer development.
What sort of cavalry will the Wood Elves have? Will they have chariots? - No chariots. Glade Riders and Warhawk Riders will still be there, along with a new unit that hits about as hard as heavy cavalry
Alex Hedström is one of the main guys in charge of the miniatures
The miniatures are very savage in apperance, and their hairstyles much more celtic and ornate than that of the high elves or dark elves.
Wood Elf women participate much more in the new army than before, they are now to be found both as charachters and as as rank and file units
There will be a stag rider....cause giant stags will be monstrous mount for heroes!!Nice idea!
Something about forest spirits' list: There will be a Lord choice called Great Spirit of the forest that will be something like a daemonic greater daemon for a matter of stats (and rules..they in fact have a WS5+ just like daemons).Could be a spellcaster The hero choice will be a hero-level Treeman For core units WE will get dryads, but different from the ones we use today. still skirmishers and cause fear, though. No word about aspects. The second core choice will be tree spirits..they will work out as gnoblars for ogres, thus being something like an upgrade for WE troops. Special choice is a "ucorn"...ogre size treeman. Rare Choice: your great treeman, i love these guys... So this list will be something like a Daemonic legion for the forces of Light
WE archers will get St4 shots at close range.Waywatchers will get killing blow with arrows!!
this is all i got off the raining glade, an invisionfree WE forum. information is reliable.
Quote first of... new magic lore...
still has tree singing but this is free kind of like drain magic for high elves..
then they have a magic bow spell that is just a magic missile D6 st 4 armour peiring attacks
a summoning dryads spell cast on a chosen level summon X many dryads within 12 inches.. absolutely awesome stuff
misguide can effectivley "teleport" unis from one wood to another...
cant really remember the others only vaguely..
oh assault of stone is back.. 13+ to cast and you can drop a hill on an enemy (i can beleive they brought this spell back but i cant complain ill be playing them XP ) every model in the unit takes an iniative test or are crushed
the new treeman hero has regeneration and 7 wounds.. OMG this guy is hardcore at 456 pts better be worth it
heroes and lords can take a thrown weapon (glaives) for 10 pts a hero or 15 a lord and does +1 s and is armour peircing 8 inch range
the new glade riders models are riding on wolves which is cool but will probably cause problems with the blizzard team's copyright.. not sure... but THEY ARE SOME d**n FINE MODELS undead will want to use these suckers as direwolves
a new magic banner allows units to cast treesing powerlevel 3.. handy stuff for a meek 30pts
the new glaive launcher is incredible, I never thought i'd see the day woodelves got a warmachine but hey, they have changed alot with the newer incarnation especially that they leave the woods regularly for HUNTS. this baby does D6 str 5 hits on a unit within 24" the on a 4+ hits another unit within 6" of the original target and within range for another D6 attacks at St 4, then on a 5+ hits another unit at D6 st 3 hits then carries on again on a D6 for D6 str 2 hits... i hope theese are hittin knoblars cause they wont kill much but hey who knows your luck..
the new dryad missile aspect is weak but handy if you are looking for options inbetween walking around the table and combat.. though they only get a thrown weapon attack at St 3 range 12" bs 2... but hey option are options...
as well as magical banners in the arm,y there are magic horns which can only be given to a "tune keeper" in a wardancer unit.. handy abilities in all especially frenzy. wooo woooo u cant stop the train
warhawk riders will now work sort of like pegasus knights with 3 wounds each and the option to take a lance instead of a long bow making them str 6 due to the combined stat line
the army as a whole can take a bow upgrade called "arrows of the willow whistle" for 1 pt per bow armed model and cause panic test in any unit suffering casualties from it on a 4+
1 unit of glade gaurd can be promoted to a special choice with the option to take heavy armour as well as replace their weapons with a great weapon. the unit gains killing blow and some new rule called eternal hatred.. great stuff this is the most unique unit i've ever seen
the new dragon can take armour of life for 50 pts and gains regeneration... this is to much for me.. but hey cant complain
a new army special rule called PROTECT THE TREES can be used once per gam and effects all axe armed models/beastmen/dwarves and kills every aforementioned model on a D6 roll of 1+
I found that on a foum but some people there think that is just made up by a noob.
I've also heard that the new Wood Elves are coming out in september and that there will be four new army types: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.
Even though i've already posted this i'm gonna post all i've gathered about the new Wood Elves.
