We saw some of the High Elves re-released for Warhammer: The Old World the other week, and now here's the rest - and although there's very few misses in the High Elf range (considering their age) - this week has some spectacular miniatures. Elves love magic, and the High Elf Mages kit gives you bits and pieces to make two, one mounted and one not... though he is flying! One of the most stunning kits in all of Games Workshop is back and would be an insta-buy if it wasn't for all the damn feathers - the spectacular Lothern Skycutter. Available in multiple build options, there's also multiple crew faction choices with options for Sea Guard, High Elves or a High Elf Lord and retinue. Equally spectacular (and probably a pain to paint) are the Dragon Princes of Caledor, and glorious visage of power and prestige - everything the High Elves opitimise. Maybe not as spectacular but a favoruite is the Tiranoc Chariots, giving you options to build two Lion Chariots of Chrace, two Tiranoc Chariots, or one of each. Very tempting, and probably on my shoipping list this weekend. We also have some older rank and file minis, with the Elven Spearmen and Elven Archers giving you some simple foundational units. Another great week of Elves!
Legions Imperialis has been bubbling along, and it would be interesting to know how popular the system is, but this week we get some more Mechanicum pre-orders with the Questoris Knights Magaera and Styrix, Cerastus Knights Atrapos and the Acastus Knights Asterius sets on offer. The prices on these are very high (considering their size) but to give GW a bit of a break, there are a lot of pieces in these sets. Tiny tiny pieces! Also in Legions Imperialis: Mechanicum we have the tiny Krios Squadron and the less tiny Karacnos Assault Tank Squadron.
It's been a while, but this week we also get some Horus Heresy miniatures! Both characters, we have Aster Crohne, the Shroudmaker (is that much filagree really necessary?) and Kaedes Nex, the Blood Crow. Not being into either army They aren't too exciting, but would be interesting to know if they float your boat.
In books this week there is the paperback version of Ahriman: Undying.
