Orion: huge improvement, and nice to see the hounds even if they do
look more like sheep. 4.
Drycha: Interesting - are we getting Drycha as a Forest Spirits special
character? They've succeeded in getting the
woman-emerging-from-her-tree look the 'Evil Dryad' plastics don't quite
manage. 5.
Mounted Lord: Nice, but I'm not keen on the helmet. At least shields
still seem to be in the list, but the iconography looks almost Chaotic.
Love the horse.
Spellsinger: There's a fourth one here I hadn't seen before, who looks
really weird - more like a Nurgle jester than a Wood Elf Mage. Female
Spellsingers: 3. Male Spellsingers: 2.
Wardancer Lord: Not helped by an appallingly garish paint scheme, but
considering what we get with the normal Wardancers this fellow's a real
disappointment. Reposing the spear arm should help somewhat, but this
just isn't in the same league as the others. 3.
Eternal Guard: There are some nice poses here, though the overhead one
isn't the best. As with the mounted Lord I'm not a fan of the new WE
helmet style. 3.5. Except for the running Champion (what sort of pose
is that for the unit) I love the command group, though: 4.5.
Wardancer Command: Excellent, as are the other dancers. 5.
Wild Riders: So we are getting separate models after all. Very strange
poses and the helmet design for the horse is as weird as that for the
riders. 3.
We're still missing Durthu (whose model has been shown elsewhere), the
new Eagle (the HE version is now listed as a Classic Great Eagle,
indicating that a new one is on the way), the stag rider and any
mounted Spellsingers.
Of the models I plan on using, only the Wild Riders really disappoint.
