My Hopes for the Unicorn

Post by Firelupus »

I am hoping that the Spellweaver on Unicorn is a viable option in the new book, i have plans to run one with dark magic .

I hope so too. My first Wood elf purchase for my current iteration of the army is a converted weaver on Sulephet. I used her once and realised she was *way* overpriced
...So if you're addressing me direct, just call me Lance or Dusk, no 1983 please.

It should be quote easy to convert a unicorn rider from the sisters of the thorn box, just remove the antlers off one of the stags (my first choice would be the middle one of the picture we have seen) then replace it with a horn and voila!

My biggest hope would be that it gets a standard Cav base - but that just isn't realistic... It's way too expensive especially considering the 20 points for the Glamourweave upgrade on top :-P

They're supposed to be on a Monster base? Odd, the Unicorn I ordered came with a standard cavalry base.

It did? Well thats great. I've never bought one because of the price and because I've always thought it came on a 5x5 base as with the Great Stag :nod:

Just checked GW’s site, and the only Unicorn I could find was the one with the Fey Enchantress and that one has a 5x5 base…

Ah yes that one does. The one I ordered however, the unridden one, came with a standard cavalry base. It does not seem to be listed on GW's site now however...

Yes the power of Unicorns is spreading, let there be rejoicing in the horned one and may his pokey stick go deep into his enemy's :paranoid:

Considering that the stags the sisters ride aren't called stags, but "steed of Isha" Im tempted to change antlers with a unicorn on all of them and just say " hey my steeds of Isha are unicorns a`right"

A little greenstuf to make a longer tail and a bigger mane and a goatee and voila....Just can't wait to get my hands on these new models. Its gonna be wood elves bonanza on my painting table again after years and years of dwars, high elves, Vampires, Goblins, Ogres, Empire and other lesser races.....

Gonna go with hooded heads on my new EG.
