So, looking at the contents:
Wood Elf Highborn (same as Sneak Peak)
Enchantress (floaty one shown in WD)
Battle Standard Bearer (like it more the more I see it)
16 Glade Guard
12 Dryads (pretty much confirming they're Core plastics)
8 Glade Riders
10 Scouts
6 Wardancers
3 Warhawk Riders
8 Waywatchers
Now, unless something radical has changed in the new book, GW has
actually given WE players a good army deal - I must admit I was
expecting Treekin rather than Warhawks, and they'd probably have worked
better as a 3-strong unit, but that's the only questionable inclusion.
I'm slightly puzzled by the Scouts and Waywatchers - looking at what
you can see of the models these are clearly different (i.e. it isn't 18
Scouts), but since they'll no doubt be packaged in 3s as normal, what's
with the 8/10 rather than 9/9 unit sizes?
Notes
- If Dakka is to be believed Glade Riders (like Skeleton cav) represent
two unit types: Core Fast Cavalry and Special Heavy Cav (with a Ward
save rather than extra armour). This may explain why they're shown here
in ranks - alternatively they might just fit better on the box cover
this way. Can't see any of the models that well, but this scheme makes
them look a lot better than the ones in the GT photos.
- Surfing or not, the Warhawk Riders seem an improvement over the last
ones - shame the birds aren't that clear, but at least the proportions
seem better. Not sure if those are plastic Pegasus wings or not.
- Waywatchers look pretty good; the one we were shown a picture of
before (which wasn't) doesn't seem to be here.
- By my calculations, assuming either £6 each for Warhawks and
characters or £7 for birds/£5 for characters, with the addition of a
£12 army book this will come to exactly £150, as other recent army
deals. I certainly plan on picking it up.
