I never adopted AoS, so the lack of support there wasn't something that was ever a factor to me. Instead I play Wood Elves in Warhammer 6th edition, with a little bit of very early 8th (6th/7th edition army books only) on the side, and some early 7th edition once I manage to track down a copy of the...

I warned them this would happen if they continued to meddle in the dangerous kinds of magic, I warned them, but they just wouldn't listen... Much has been said on AoS's effect on the plight of Warhammer forums (this one has been hit particularly hard, but it's a problem everywhere), but I feel the b...

Well it took a lot longer than I wanted it to, but here it is, the fourth and final unit of Glade Guard, Forever Autumn (yes, I am aware of the irony in naming a fantasy unit with a science fiction reference). http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx147/Kakapo42/a9fde0fb-67ea-4875-a19b-3f1ea9907921_zps...

No you're not alone, if anything you seem to be part of the majority that hates everything that G.W has been puting out.. it's good to share your feelings and get them out in the open.. These sites are a good way of sharing with like minded folk that are more than willing to listen and offer any ad...

I thought it might be good to mention it, but in case you haven't seen already GW posted this on their community page. It seems as though some of us might get our old model wishes as they're opening up the Warhammer Fantasy ranges for the made to order treatment. If you go to the official AoS page y...

I'm crushed to see the forum with so little traffic. I would be posting more on here, but currently my hobby attention is on other tabletop wargames (Battlefleet Gothic to be exact) - there'll probably be some updates early next year when I switch back over to Fantasy. I actually had this crazy dumb...

*Sigh* It's just as I feared it would be. If they had done a painstakingly faithful rendition of the 6th edition Wood Elves then I'd have been all over it. Indeed it would have been enough for me to suspend my usually harsh stance towards DLC. But like I suspected they would, they went with the 8th ...

The Bretonnian Damsel with Sword. Of all the Warhammer Fantasy models I was never able to get, she is the one I want most. The list of older GW models I want, however is endless. Pretty much everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) GW released before around 2008 or so is on my 'desperately want' list. Oth...

With the second Wardancer troupe finished, my Wardancers have now grown numerous enough to warrant direct representation at the court. So finishing off this latest round of painting is my first Wardancer noble, Aemiria the Queen of Muses. http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx147/Kakapo42/001_zpskgmm...

Good work, it's a nice unit. Students must be really hard done by if you can't afford to replace a glass after a freak accident lol :D Students are indeed really hard done by (although my student days are now just behind me), but the main problem was actually trying to find the right sort of glass,...

When the first ET book came out my enthusiasm for Warhammer was almost completely destroyed Why not just ignore it? Some guys love End Times and that's great. But I've been able to almost totally avoid it despite being a (fairly) regular tournament player. Fluff is what we choose, not just the late...

Thanks for the reply. The sad part is that it's now rather hard finding opponents to play. It's not that important either, as I've lost the interest to play anyway :cry: But I do want to paint the army, and need some alternative non-game-related motivation If you're looking for non-game related mot...

Definitely second the recommendation for a tripod, it's made my photo-taking 100% easier. While you're waiting for one though, one trick I've found is to build a pile of large solid flat objects (books, boxes etc.) to the appropriate height, and sit the camera on top of that. I won't have the same r...

Nice work! I was actually in a very unenthusiastic mood for working on more Wood Elf models (to be expected, I've been toiling away at the same unit of Glade Guard for months on end, so some burnout is a natural result), but reading this background gave an extra boost of inspiration that's allowed m...

8th Forever! Yes! But only with the 6th Wood Elf book for me. If we're guessing at what the new 'Elf' models will be like, I think a good place to start might be the 8th edition Wood Elf releases (the most recent elf models GW has released so far). I'd expect the AoS Elf models to take a lot of des...

I'm even still using the 6th edition book.

In the words of Deckard Cain in the Diablo 3 trailer, "It has begun." It's heartbreaking to see so many incredible Warhammer models go into the night, but their days were numbered the moment AoS was released. Fortunately I'm well supplied with amazing Wood Elf models. I amassed a stockpile...

At long last I have finished the third Glade Guard regiment for my army, The Spirit of Spring . http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx147/Kakapo42/001_zpscdzwayxq.jpg http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx147/Kakapo42/010_zpsfhuc2xse.jpg http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx147/Kakapo42/003_zpskfhn0sx...

From the moment AoS was first talked about on Warseer, my biggest fear was never what would happen to Warhammer, but what would happen to this site. Now it seems my fears are coming to pass. In case you haven't seen it, Naggie has announced that this site will be shutting down at the end of June nex...

Kakapo, 9th Age gives serious buffs to the combat units, especially tree spirits. It also reintroduces Kindreds and 'Spites'. Maybe worth a look? http://www.the-ninth-age.com/index.php?simple-page/&s=485083ae3a94208858b8e51fc79559741c3bb00b It's a good attempt with some interesting stuff, but u...

I'm still here! I've been particularly quiet recently due to being overwhelmed by university work and waiting and seeing how recent developments from GW would affect this site, but I have no plans to leave any time soon - indeed even now there's a regiment of Glade Guard sitting half-finished on my ...

Faerie, subtle, independent, natural, hidden. Special characters that best represent them: The 6th edition depiction of Naestera and Arahan, the 6th/5th edition depiction of Ariel, Scarloc. Putting aside the stuff from the ET background (which I don't like AT ALL), my least favourite part of their b...

Well I can't say I like these new developments, because I really don't. Simply put, at the risk of sounding like an 80's action film character, this isn't what I signed on for. But, I just can't find the energy to write more about it. I think after my disappointment with the 8th edition Wood Elves r...

I couldn't agree with you more, Kakapo42. To add to what you were saying, I also perceive Warhammer as a pseudo board game.. where you purchase a game, with a set or rules, die (depending) cards, board etc. You then use these rules, and the same pieces, regardless of what year or edition it might b...

What GW does with the Wood Elves is no longer really that relevant to me. What I've come to learn, first by deciding to continue using the 6th edition Wood Elf book over the 8th edition one, then by ignoring the ET series entirely, is that the future of any given Warhammer faction is ultimately in t...
