More from Faeit:

There is a lot coming out now about the new Wood Elves, so I have condensed a bunch of the information here into one post this morning to make it all easier to find. Of course we are still digging and waiting for more, but this is a good start for us.
This morning we have images that have leaked, and are posed over on the Bols Lounge, Dakka, and other locations.
Please take all of this as rumors until we have the White Dwarf in hand and can see exactly what the releases are.
The Pics of Wood Elves
Here is where the images come from

While this list looks good there are definitely a new shadowdancer in White Dwarf pics that are not yet shown on this release. I have not seen a full release list yet, and am hoping that we get more information on it today.

and a bit more:
"Tonight we have a quick look at what is being shared with us on the new rules for the Wood Elves. Of course these are from an early peak at this weekend's White Dwarf.
Please remember that these should be considered to be rumors, as we dont have the White Dwarf in hand.

Don't have the wd with me but I got to look through it.
Wood elf swords look to have fight in extra ranks and armour piercing now (the hero has one but the name is just asari sword)
The wood elves have both high and dark magic. Didn't catch reference to athel Loren lore but it might be in there.
Forest spirits looks to be 6++ and immune to psych
Mention of 13 spirits included on treeman kit, makes both regular durthu and ancient (which has a staff). Durthu is lvl 1 beast, has lement of despair 2d6 str 2 kb. "
----------------
so both rumours saying forest spirit only a 6+ ward now... I'm not sure why they would do this without adding something else... it's not like dryads didn't already die like flies with a 5+!!!!!
