Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
I reposted this over at Warseer. Someone there pointed out something very interesting:

If you're on a computer, hover the house pointer over the wood elf pic. Look at how the pic is copyrighted

Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
Someone named arthain over at the warhammer forums actually e-mailed the artist to confirm what he was told about how the artwork was going to be used:
http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic ... 5&start=60I emailed the artist asking him for a source (book, magazine?) of the image publication. So that we can know if that image is indeed for the AB or just for another game (Warhammer Rolepla?) or even a Book or whatever other thing.
He wrote in his blog:
"I contacted my art director at Games Workshop and confirmed that a few of my paintings have been released, giving me the go ahead to post them online."
His email answer:
"Thanks for the message! They said it is in the "Wood Elves army book." They didn't give me any other information. Sorry!
Mike "Daarken" Lim"
This makes it seem like a very solid confirmation of the upcoming Wood Elves

Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
Following on from that picture, the GW site now lists Wild Riders as "No longer available.". Interesting!

Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
I haven't even been able to get on the website for a couple of days now.
From tiny twiglets mighty treemen grow.
Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
Wild Riders are still listed on the US site.

The bandwidth probably hammered the guy's account. My guess is he took it down to avoid a big bill.
Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
I don't know man. Traffic to his website seems like a small price to pay. More likely GW requested he take it down until the book is released. Cause for some reason they hate leaks.popisdead wrote:The bandwidth probably hammered the guy's account. My guess is he took it down to avoid a big bill.
Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
Maybe. But then again he did say his art director at GW told him it was OK to post it up. Who knows? Point is we have a new army book coming and it's probably closer than we all think.

Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
I really meant, all the attention that the traffic would bring him would be worth the price of the bandwidth. An artist like that would love more exposure.popisdead wrote:Or a large price.iampetty wrote:I don't know man. Traffic to his website seems like a small price to pay.

So it's no longer the BRB, now it's the DERB. (Digital Edition Rule Book) I am all in for 9th Age.

It's Gamesworkshop we're talking about. Not exactly known for making intelligent decisions.Billthesurly wrote:They're closing the barn door after the horses have left.

Re: Possible New Wood Elf Art
Maybe they told him to remove it, GamesWorkshop IE as the book is not yet available. Also about those helmets, thery are very similar to helmets worn by the first Wood Elves cavalry released by Citadel Miniatures in the early 80's, exactly the same.
