Default Re: Warhammer Highelves: Speculation and hype

I'd definitely say a statline somewhere around:
12 att
13 def
8 str
8 hp
15 ap

That's how I'd do them, anyway. Even a basic elf has WS4 and iniative,.. 5 these days I think. That's better (skillwise) than most elites in other armies. Not only that, I'd load custom weapons and armour on them which would be a little better than the usual. High rcost would also make sense - it is the most effective way to limit numbers and take losses harder, which is definitely a HE thing (along with dwarfs).

As with most warhammer nations I have HEs mostly planned out. If you'd like I could send you the text files, though obviously you will have your own interpretation. I'd planned on doing them someday, but I seem to have slowed to a crawl on warhammer stuff.

9 hp and 9 str might do.

8 str is too low as I really don't find elves to be that pathetically weak, especially as that'd make them as strong as hoburgs and weaker than vaettir.

8 hp is too low as I really don't find them being able to take only as much beating as vaettir and hoburgs. 9 hp of the asian infantry units sounds decent though - the more elite units will have more though.

But yeah, please do tell what you've thought about.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and regarding Sylvania, the spearman is ruthlesly based on sylvanian sea guard.

Moar sprites. Not exactly happy with Swordmaster's attack sprite, but I did quite a bit of tinkering without reaching a better outcome.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to recolor the swordmasters' feather, it was supposed to be light blue like the shield emblems.
