Just a few quick rumours on some changes being made to the High Elves in their next book. It's not official, I got word from a friend of a friend of a friend of a GW insider

Spearmen are going to be cheaper

Silver Helms are going to be more expensive

Intrigue at court is no more

A lot of the 0-1 restrictions are being removed

And probably some changes on the magic items etc

I'll keep you posted if I hear of anything else

Those things are quite obvious, altough I must say that it's nice that we have some words on what's happening with them.
Good find Stoney.

If they make swordmasters now 0-1 ima be so happy. 2 smaller units running around to flank, maybe a mage in each of them, ohhh cant wait.

im hope they make the spearmen cheaper. I never liked that we didnt have a single model under 10 pts (not including ships company). i think it would also be realy awesome if we could mount our characters on drakes just cheaper/weaker versions of dragons.

I agree. On a whole I will be looking forward to the changes.

From an opponent point of view I really hope that add some variety to the Core choices for High Elves. I'm so sick of seeking the wall o' spears backed by magic and bolt throwers. I actually really enjoyed playing a HE player who used a mounted army as it was a nice change. I think some variety in stances and plastic models would be a nice change and add some character to the army and would be welcome on both sides of the table.

And for the love of god someone finally use Tyrion as i've probably placed 10-15 high points games against HE players and they always bring Teclis, which I don't mind as i really find him a point sink in a way.

PS: don't change shadow warriors as i think they are perfect the way they are as a highly mobile and effective special choice. Maybe give them an option for improved save in cover or something. Even something like the night fight rule from 40K would be a cool option which would be neat to play against.

SUMMARY:
-more army choices especially core
-additional plastic models/ different pose options
-reduce cost on Tyrion/ make him more playable
