I don't have a visual source (i.e. I've not taken pictures of the magazine) but I can confirm that the quote does explicitly mention Eternal Guard, so they are definitely in the book.

I got the White Dwarf with the Wood Elves

So, what I can tell you is that:

Treeman have stangle roots still, and Tree Whack, and +6 ward save

Arathor is not the only hero or lord in the works

Stag riders are true, they are pictured.

All but one of the treeman look horrible. The one that I liked is actually really cool looking, I will be chopping some things off though.

One thing that does worry me is that it says that only spellweavers can take high and dark and all eight lores, its says nothing about spellsingers. This kinda worries me.

Does it state what Strangleroot does?

As with Spites, all that WD confirms is that they are included as model components. It talks about the Treeman model having strangleroots coming from his hand, but it's not confirmed whether they have any in-game effect.

It might be worth mentioning that the fluff in the itunes preview talks about how shadowdancers (wardancer kindred model so hero or lord choice?) make use of illusions. (Definitely an italics job here GWH) but this leads me to believe they'd have access to lore of shadows, like the high elf swordmage dudes...
...So if you're addressing me direct, just call me Lance or Dusk, no 1983 please.

In battle these wizards are the most dazzlingly swift and most feared of all the Wardancers.

Sorry, it's confirmed as Araloth.

The rule for the falcon is nice, just pretend Skaw had to change his name and go into witness protection

This page has pics of the new ranger, wild riders, and sisters of thorns. I really like all the new miniatures so far and can't wait for the book! Not crazy about the sisters heads, but I think they will grow on me.

Most of the book has been spoiled via Twitter and Warseer so I'm not going to maintain this thread any more.
