This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of High Elves coming to Age of Sigmar. Check out the first look at Tecilis and his Lumineth Realm-lords!
The time is now, Games Workshop just previewed more of their 2020 LVO the Las Vegas Open.
Las Vegas Open 2020
We saw a ton of previews already from GW for the 2020 release calendar at the New Years open, and have been hearing a ton of rumors about new point elves, Psychic Awakening and more.
Let’s take a look at what we saw recently from GW and the new previews!
GW Teases Lumineth Realm-lords & Teclis for 2020!
Warhammer Community dropped an unexpected surprise on AoS fans with a preview of what looks to be Teclis’ weapons. We’ll be breaking everything down. But first, in case you missed the first reveal we’ve got the highlights here for you.
Coming from Warhammer TV, it’s obvious that GW isn’t trying to hide what’s on the way to Age of Sigmar. The voice in the video even said “If you like Aelves, there are good things right around the corner”.
While High Aelves are definitely the center of GW’s focus here, there’s even more that’s been revealed along the way.
High Aelves Coming Back: Teclis’ Weapon Bits REVEALED
Teclis has been seen little in the Age of Sigmar – at least, so far. Did any of his aelven races aside from the Idoneth survive? Just what is going on in Hysh? Can the Mage God forgive Sigmar for corrupting his gift? Over the next few weeks, you’ll have the chance to find out. One thing is for sure though……Teclis is back, and he’s looking EPIC.
With the Aelven leader/god coming back into the picture, who knows what other kinds of models and updated rules lie in wait for us. Kicking off 2020 with a bang, it looks like Age of Sigmar is about to get a fan favorite army overhauled!
Not only did GW announce that Teclis is marching back into the lore more lively than ever. But they also revealed computerized versions of his classic weapons.
With the past reveals in mind today they gave us, even more, teases regarding the Lumineth Realm-lords. Including a full reveal of Teclis’ model!
Vanari Auralan Wardens
These hearken back to the High Elf Spearmen that made up many a classic Warhammer army, and they’re packed with rich detail never previously thought possible.
First up for “Pointy Aelves” they give us a look at the new spearmen! These may be the standard battleline of the faction, but there is no lack of detail and symbology on each of these guys.
Vanari Dawnriders
The Vanari Dawnriders are filled with grace and movement that make them instantly eye-catching on the battlefield.
Now, they could have been just talking about the lore and the models. However, I think this may be a hint at perhaps some unique rules! Maybe this new calvary will have the ability to disengage after combat and prepare to charge again the next turn?
The Light of Eltharion
The Light of Eltharion sees one of the most legendary heroes of this ancient race return with a truly stunning new miniature. Look closer – that armour is hollow.
The comment about the hollow armor adds an interesting twist to Eltharions return. It suggests that maybe this is just a manifestation or even a conjuration by Teclis! While we don’t know much about the new lore or model, we do know that Eltharion was exceptional at killing Orks and encouraged his people to improve their defenses in the past.
Teclis
For years, this mage has graced tabletops, books, video games and, of course, your imagination in all manner of guises. Now, in 2020, Teclis returns with a model truly worthy of a god.
Last up is the top dog himself, the Aelven God Teclis. While they didn’t give many hints on rules, we do know about his ascension. Hopefully, he will be able to stand his ground versus Nagash and Archaon. Whether that will be via magic or fighting prowess, we don’t really know yet. He has in the past been known for magic, so that will definitely play a part in his update!
Wow, what are you excited about the most?
