Forgive my ignorance about Fantasy, but is that even close to a fair match? Are there more High Elves someplace in the box we don't know about yet?

It doesn't look that fair to me... especially if the two weapons teams can be made as Ratling guns. That skaven army could decimate the Sea Guard in one round of shooting, leaving 10 Swordmasters and a Griffon to deal with 60 skaven with the new Horde rules... not fun.

Griffon flank charge = dead skaven.

IF thats whats in the box I'll buy 2 or 3 boxes!

Might be time for me to start Fantasy... I love the High Elf models.

 

[Starbuck]

I love them too, till i have to paint them. By far the hardest models to paint so far for me, though worth it once they are done.

 

[Commander_Culln]

YAy plastic skavenslaves! And weapon crews and Lots more clAnrats!

 

[Skartooth]

I have been thinking of starting Skaven for a while, but right now getting my hands on this new box set and the battalion sounds like a dam good idea:biggrin:

Looks like a 750-1000 point army for each side. By straight points it seems an even battle. Griffon on the side=1 challenge, probably vs Warlord, who can say who'll win. Remember, 8th edition, you don't need to be in BTB to Challenge

If there is a griffon then GW has one more fantasy customer

 

[Wolf_Lord_Skoll]

If there is a griffon then GW has one more fantasy customer

Yup, the Griffon has been comfirmed for a while now. To the extent that I'll be surprised if there isn't one in the set.

any pictures?

Hopefully the minis will be high quality unlike the skull pass dwarves

 

[Maxwell256]

I would hope the minis are higher quality than skull pass, more along the lines of the 40k boxes.
