News: More Wood Elves pictures!

Iv'e collected pictures and what not from different sources, see it below:

From an Auction on Ebay

From Bell of Lost souls

Stag Riders in the background!

And Larry Vela wrote this in the same thread as the link above:

Initial word for week 2 was:
-Giant hawk based triple unit-combo kit
-Mounted unit (stags)
Todays batch of gamer magnifying glass examination reveals:
The various pictures going around have shown what appears to be 2 distinct types of mounted deer/stags of some type, so it seems a safe bet we can pencil those in (almost certainly a combo-kit).
A new character with two axes
The Eternal Guard box looks to be are a dual-kit with Waywatchers.

+++Possible Wood Elf Hoax Alert+++

Some notes on these Italian pages:
Purported Italian Wood Elves Pages

1) The uploader account to imgur is named "salty"
2) The art is very inconsistent with known GW artists and styles. Some is old GW art, while some seems very out of character for GW . At least one has an obvious artist signature on the piece which GW tends to disallow. If its a fan-made set, there are probably lifted pieces of art from places like Deviantart.
3) The pagenumbers are odd. Most WFB armybooks do not get into the unit description pages until the mid 30s. The earlier pages are the introduction and army background.

News: Wood Elves pictures from the next White Dwarf!

So finally we have some pictures of the new Wood Elves models, and wow! The treemen looks really badass (many won't like it though because they look much different to the old ones) and fit more nicely with the Dryads.

News: Artwork for the new Wood Elves book?

Okey first of all rumours are suggesting that the new Wood Elves armybook will arrive in May so not far off at all. I was browsing Warseer just now and fell over two pictures showing artwork from an artist's blog showing us a battlescene with Wood Elves engaging some Empire Halberdiers. Really cool looking and if this is legit and is showing us anything on how the new Wood Elves will look, WE players are in for a treat in my opinion.

Really cool Treeman in the background, Stag riding wood elves I like it!

Rumours: The latest about Dwarfs and Wood Elves

These rumours showed up a couple of days ago but I missed them out, and if you did too here they are:

Found this rumour via librarium-online, who have translated a post by Ajota on the Spanish Eye of Terror forums.

Dwarfs are due in "early 2014"(other sources says March)
Dwarfs news, next army to make their appearance could include:
OrcCrusher / Tunneler (combo kit)
Runic Anvil / War Altar (combo box)
Gyrocopter Squadron Box
Thunderers / Crossbowmen / Dwarf Warriors Box (10)
Hammerers / Ironbreaker Box
Slayers  / Brotherhood of Grimmir Box
Longbeards / Rangers Box

Comment: Can be a solid rumour or a well educated guess. Sounds interesting though, but don't if they are interesting enough. The kit's themselves could be awesome and may get me start to paint up my Dwarfs again but then the rules has to follow that too. Really interested in how these kits will look though, damn I will be poor the month they are released.

GW has to do really nice Slayers to beat the Avatars of War ones

From the same guy Ajota on the Spanish Eye of Terror forum we also got these rumours about Wood Elves.

Hi Guys, new to the forum but a long time Wood Elves player.

The rumour is that the Wood Elves release is May 2014 and I have found some potential rules and releases translated from a Spanish forum, not sure about the accuracy but here goes:

Army wide ASF ( elves only )
- Hawkeye ( only elves , reroll one to hit, single shots)
- Spirit of the Forest ( unstable magical attacks, hatred , 5 + ward save , harmony with the forest )
- Elven Bow ( f4 , rapid fire , extra row )
- Saearath ( cc weapon , +1 Strength , + 1 SEspecial , spears )
- Explorers / Ambushers ( NDT : not what it is )

Forest Guard : Elvish Bow , Hawkeye
Eternal Guard : f4 , Saearath , L8
Light Knights : same
Driades : forms of combat .
Riders Halcon : Elven Bow , Hawk Eye , launches
Kournous Riders : Spirit of the forest, Saearath , L8 , F4 , A2 ( idk if directly go deer)
Arboreal : Spirit of the forest , as
Banshees : Spirit of the forest, Lamento ( breath attack ) , terror .
Eagle Claws : same
Wardancer : same , except for some changes that do not know .
Forest : Forest Spirit , Bow Elvish .
Men Tree: Like I
Millennial choleric : Hate Eternal , and nose to more

And releases

Man Megacaja Tree (Giant) / Durtu / Millennium cashflow
- Great Dragon Box Forest / Lord of the Forest / Sisters of Twilight
- Safety in Deer Forest Kournous
- Safety Kournous Riders (apparently nothing to do with the look of today, more fey and spiritual)
- Safety Wardancer / Forest
- Riders Box Falcon / Eagle Claws
- Safety Eternal Guard / Forest Banshees
- Blister Cantor of Trees
- Blister Lord of Forests
- Blister Skaw the Falconer

Comment: These rumours also seems plausible, especially the special army wide rules. Some strange names here's but I think that is because of the translation in some cases. Anyway can't wait to see Wood Elves back in action, it has always been a really nice looking army. 

Wood Elf Wild Rider Centaur

Here's a little conversion project I did some years ago, a Wood Elf Centaur used as Wild Riders. I gave this and his five companions to my little brother for christmas two years ago. And I thought I had taken pictures of it so I could show it here on the blog.

I know some fluff nerds say that these kind of half breeds or mutated thingies are all belonging to Chaos and their gods. But I say no to that! And I think it's only fitting the theme, Wild Riders have the forest kindred spirit something (don't have the book with me) and therefore should be more of one with nature, like Centaurs :) Not the best of paint jobs Iv'e done, but I haven't been painting many elves and I wasn't used to use Quick Shade back then. I really like the conversion though and hope you like it as well.

The conversion is based on Wood Elves Glade Riders horse body, standard, head, cloak and weapons. The torso and arms comes from Beastmen Ungors, then there's some green stuff and leaves from Warhammer Fantasy Basing Kit. The leaves are pink because my brother wanted his WE army to look like they come from a forest with trees looking like the Japanese Cherry Blossom.
