I know but they had the problem of getting no book updates at all OR models. Now we have a book specifically about elves yet no new model unlike both previous ET releases that got amazing looking stuff.

From What's new today messages:
"Here are all four messages from this week in order. The flames await the phoenix, but the dragon stands against him. The cast of players will assume their roles. Only through their sacrifice will Isha’s children be saved. The bloody-handed god walks the world once more. The prophecy must be fulfilled.
Only the purest of heart will escape the web of fate."

What is really needed most is new High Elf core. Not a sexy release, but the rest of the line is so nice....

My two cents: Tyrion pulls widow maker becomes Khaines avatar/malekiths daddy reborn. Morathi tries to join is rebuffed and kind of snaps. Malekith is the Phoenix looking to be reborn in the flames Imrik is the dragon and opposes him. Or the vortex stops all the big old guys come back and it gets really nasty!!
All I can say is this is the grandest, biggest craziest move forward in fluff ever. Hope to hell they aren't just blowing it all up leaving sad remnants of civilization that oh my must all make crazy alliances to survive ie 40k changes comming in to fantasy as far as force structure allies etc.

But such alliances allow for the company to sell more models.
If you can fill the weak point of your army with a unit from another army then you might buy them. Then you find they help your army and are kind of cool, so why don't you buy a whole army of them?
I think it's great that they are advancing the fluff though.

iIts just sad because it makes me feel like we are watching the company in its death throws. Their models have never been better and the rules ( what rules we don't need no stinking rules we are a model company) more disappointing.

It really seems like a huge missed opportunity for them NOT having a model release with ET:Khaine. If there was a main kit and multikit along with the book I would probably buy one or both! But as it is I have no interest in getting the Chaos stuff, MAYBE one day Nagash (but doubt it).
In other news there is a rumor on Warseer that the guy in charge of planning book production numbers got fired for the debacle of hugely underestimating the demand volume, and now they are doing rush prints of softcover books to fill the gap.

Company is doing just fine. rules have been tighter than ever, and the limited run of the hardcovers is intentional, NOT a mistake as Warseer is implying someone got fired for... rumours of this were in the pipe a year ago... and the rumours of the softcover switch were also in the pipe 6 months ago, and again intentional...
charge a premium for hardcovers now...
then gain even more with a subsequent softcover release
Also this is only the online allotment, there are still store copies of all of these things... Nexus has quite a few end times products sitting on shelves that are "sold out" online...

I guess I should refocus, rules concerning organization, limits, movement, terrain and magic. You really have to wonder will the fluff will go?

ok, anyone want to play predict the combinations for armies? undead: vamps and tomb kings elves all of them good humans: empire, bretts maybe with dwarves bad humies: chaos with daemons Leaving: lizardmen, ogres, skaven, goblins, chaos dwarves
Almost makes me wonder if it will be like regiments of renown with a few core armies? Going to be a very big change!
