Dark Elves Wave 2 Arrive!

2 Minute Read

GW pulled off the covers on the Dark Elves Wave 2 and WOW this one has some really fantastic kits.  Lets’s take a look:

Warhammer: Triumph & Treachery $85.00
Executioners/Black Guard $50.00

Scourgerunner/Cold One Chariot $40.00

Doomfire Warlocks/Darkriders $35
Blark Ark Fleetmaster $20

Triumph and Treachery is a Warhammer supplement which features rules for playing 3, 4, or even 5 player games of Warhammer. It’s a totally new way to play, allowing you and your friends to bribe your enemies, hire mercenaries to bolster your armies and carry out all manner of underhand tactics. Anything goes in the quest to win the war!

This 96-page, full-colour, hardback book includes:

– A history of the underhand tactics employed by devious generals to defeat multiple opponents.
– Full rules for playing multiplayer games of Warhammer.
– 3 new Triumph and Treachery scenarios.
– 3 historical scenarios featuring the background to the battle; an overview of each army; scenario rules; and an order of battle showcasing the miniatures used on each side.
– A showcase of expertly painted Citadel miniatures.

Also included is a deck of 36 beautifully illustrated Treachery cards that allow you to employ all sorts of nefarious bribes and ploys in your games. There are also 5 player turn cards.



Ok, first off that is one giant update when you combine last month’s and this month’s miniatures. I hope Triumph and Treachery comes with a free month of cell-phone service for that price!  Strangely, aside from it, this wave seems much more reasonably priced than the first wave.  In particular, the Doomfire/Darkriders looks to be a great deal!

The Dark Elf range had a bunch of metal and ugly kits (i’m looking at you old Darkriders) and this goes a long way towards fixing that.  
You HAVE to see the 3-views in particular of the Chariot and the Doomfire Warlocks.  Just fantastic miniatures.  If we see massive range reboots like this for say Tyranids, it could revitalize old tired ranges overnight!
