It is now Official. Athel Loren is radiant in its resplendence. Delicate young boys cavort for the delight of their mistresses, and the luminescence of sprites and pixies flicker through the enchanted wood. The Sisters of Twilight languorously uncurl from their embrace; panpipes flute a tune of merriment throughout the halls of the summerstrand. The diverting indignities of gorposting and Deep-Thinking Goblins are a receding memory, a windblown fragment of the season past. All Asrai make ready for frolic and improductivity; indolence is the watchword, and none can be found but are feverishly, zealously committed to inactivity.

From the Oak of Ages, the Eternal Queen watches and is warmed by the celebrations of her people. In such a festive air, Orion's rebirth cannot but be imminent; Ariel's handmaidens ceaselessly weave flowers into her hair, presenting an endless procession of styles and and aspects by which their beloved monarch might greet her consort. Those that retain a sense of time and worldly events look to his arrival; Naieth's divinations serve only to confirm what the jubilant atmosphere of the forest makes evident.

Wood Elves Confirmed.

Away from the battlefield, Wood Elves appear to play like a mix of Chaos and Greenskins – a raiding force that travels across the campaign map swiftly but puts down few roots. They’re the only race in the game that can conquer any settlement, regardless of faction, but your building options beyond the Wood Elf heartlands of Athel Loren are limited.

You can erect three types of lookout post over a conquered settlement – a mustering site that sells global units for local prices within that province, a structure that speeds army replenishment, and a trading post that unlocks local resources for exploitation. While this allows Wood Elves to establish footholds in regions that are inaccessible to other factions, it also (seemingly) lumbers you with a massive fixed weakpoint: lose Athel Loren with all its infrastructure and it’s probably game over. That said, you shouldn’t be too fussy about securing the realm’s perimeter – being feckless hippies, Wood Elves can’t build settlement walls, but Athel Loren’s waystones have “weird and curious” effects on any armies operating within its borders.

While it may be tempting to bunker up till your economy and tech are sufficiently mature, conquest is necessary because flipping settlements is the only way you’ll get Amber, a specialised Wood Elf currency. In the included Season of Revelation mini-campaign, which sees the elves cleansing the home realm of trespassers, this is used to nourish the central Tree of Ages in return for empire-wide perks. Problematically, it’s also required for certain units and upgrades.

Theories on what the mini campaign will be about?

If you continue your barefaced game of tagging any further with your leaf-ridden, sparkling wigs you call hair, I will smite ye so hard you won't be able to walk for the rest of your pathetic lifes, limp plonkers! Should it come to a proper fight, I'd be able to flagellate you all to death with my bloody beard! Your cowardice makes me think your mothers all had an intercourse with ratkin! I am going to take these bloody arrows and shove them under your polished fingernails, then I will insert my iron-clad boot so far up your arses your breath will smell of shoe polish! I will prepare a pair of stones for every single one of you and sew them to your groins where your manhood ought to be with precision and skill unknown to Elgi bunglers you call artisans, just so I can kick you there! Next I will hang you up on your bow strings by the bloody foreskin until your weight gives you a botched circumcision! I will strip you of your fancy and brilliant knick-knacks and push them into your faces! I will paint these pansy green skirts you are wearing red using your bone marrow! You better believe you're going to wish you were never born, for I will make it seem like you never were, wazzocks!

Those who choose Orion as their Legendary Lord will be able to buy elf troops using gold, but you’ll need Amber for tree spirit units and associated upgrades. Conversely, those who pick the treeman general Durthu need Amber if they want to field Elf archers and cavalry. It creates a strong stylistic divide at the outset, with pressing ramifications towards the midgame. Will you open with an army of durable timber warriors, or squads of nimble skirmishers? And when will you begin to fold the other half of the unit list into your empire?

The Wood Elves have another big advantage when growing their dominion – the Wild Hunt, which becomes available after you erect the Wild Heath structure and promote a Lord to the office of Herald (there are seven other offices whose applications I’ve yet to discover). As the name suggests, the Hunt is essentially an old school rampage, comparable to a Greenskin Waaagh but with a rigid timing mechanism. Every 20 turns, the Herald and their forces are endowed with copious movement, melee and ranged attack buffs, allowing the savvy general to cut a swathe through neighbouring kingdoms for a few turns. Where a Greenskin player must attack continually to gather momentum, this is a foundation for precise, controlled aggression. And dramatic reversals. Imagine finally cornering an elusive Elf army only to find that every last archer it contains has turned into Legolas.

Reminder:

This is the last big paid DLC for the base game

4 races are now confirmed to be part of the first expansion and the game map will be similar in size to the current. Likely High elves,Dark elves,Lizardmen and Skaven with a "Empire" style theatre to fit a larger new world so the CPU and GPU won't be doing turn times all at once. Theatre by theatre instead.

>>160426302
The Asrai have transcended work and live outside the vicious cycle of wage slavery that makes a mockery of man and devours his years.

The Wood Elf society rejects the concept of employment entirely. Labor is in and of itself a debasing act regardless of whatever system is designed around it.

The Wood Elves rely, among other things, on a post-scarcity magical economy providing endless access to sustenance, slavery and forest spirits for labor, and the providence of an eternal monarchy that has practiced a benevolent and decentralized rule for millenia. They spend their time on more ennobling pursuits like great theatrical performances in celebration of things that never happened, /ss/, and tea.

SPELLSINGERS (MAGE FOCUS)

Wood Elf mages have a unique relationship with Athel Loren. Connected to the deeper intelligence of the forest, they are highly attuned beings, sharing a bond with their surroundings in much the same way the Dryads, sprites and Treemen do. Spellsingers may be recruited to wield the Lores of Life, Shadow and Beasts.

The goat dude is Orion. The welves sacrifice a prince among their number yearly to the Oak of Ages, and the body is "possessed" by the spirit of Orion. Orion's life follows the seasons, you see, and each winter he retreats into the Oak to die, only to be reborn via said sacrifice when the snows begin to thaw. That particular sacrifice was what we saw in the vid.

Guys really? On the day we just got a big DLC announcement and confirmation of 1st expansion including 4 base races and a landmass similar in size to the base game?

You're looking at a late 2018/Early 2019 release. It will be announced ahead of the 2nd and last expansion to Warhammer with the hype buildup after its released.

I'll be buying it anyway but its far too early to even talk about.

Don't forget that the one time they killed him in Athel Loren, he left a spot of corruption that keeps growing and which is slowly eating the whole forest. The forest kingdom where he died is a constant battlefield because Beastmen keep pilgrimaging to the place where he died.

Nope just Athel Loren images. I think they are hiding the forest regrowth for now.

It would be massively retarded to have no forest growth

I'm sorry I didn't clarify. No need to be snide.

Durthu has to spend a limited resource to gain access to 80% of the roster, this might make him the worse choice for LL.

Treekin are using Cyrpt horror animations in the eurogamer video right?

Gonna try greenskins for the first time after trying most other factions

Any tips? Good army makeup? Best units? Any mods that make it more interesting?

Apparently a lot of TW players aren't if this and the last thread are anything to go by.

There's a difference between appreciating the female form, and sucking toes and licking soles and oiling up a girl's feet so you can squeeze your dick between her feet and thrust back and forth until you spatter out a glob of cumula onto her ankles

>>160430102
Chaos spawn animations

>>160430102
Any other units using existing skeletons?

Reminder that the interview about Wood Elves being the "Last big DLC" doesn't NECESSARILY mean no more new races until the next game release.

This is a campaign pack and, according to their documentation on DLC, they also do race packs without mini-campaigns, so a Race pack without a campaign would still be consistent with Elves being the "Biggest DLC until the next release"

The dragon as well. Not that i'm complaining we more or less got the whole roster this time so i'll happily take the reused animations.

So does Orion if he wants anything approaching armoured.
Unless you want a treemen led army composed primarily out of elves, I don't see the problem.

Some units also appear to be mixed Gender.

You're right, well spotted. It's too brief and far away unfortunately so still waiting to see some better footage later.
