Well
it's unlikely you would have found this blog without already knowing
it, but the 8th edition High Elf army book was released a
few days ago. I have already bought a copy, but I am yet to see it –
I'm away from home for a few days and my copy will have arrived in
the mail in my absence. I will probably get my hands on it tomorrow,
and I am really looking forward to reading through it.
The
internet is already abuzz with how powerful some of the items and
combinations in the new book are, however I have largely ignored what
people have to say. I prefer to read the book myself and come to my
own conclusions. Nevertheless, it's apparent that High Elf players
are pretty excited about the new book and others are starting to
worry about what they're going to find themselves up against.
The
other thing that seems apparent is that every man and his dog is
suddenly going to appear with a High Elf army and start to try out
the new rules. It's common for a new army to start popping up all
over the place, especially when the immediate response to the book is
that it's going to be pretty powerful. However, High Elves are a bit
of a special case.
