Age of Sigmar General /aosg/

Do what you like and like the look of.
When they DO get updated at least youll be OG order serpentis and can laugh at the faggots who will have to start from scratch whereas youll have a new painted army ready to go

the way I see it is that since Malarion (the shadow elf leader / incarnate of shadow) is part of the super-friends Order alliance of Sigmar, Alarielle, Tyrion/Teclis in the fluff fighting Archaeon and the rest of chaos I don't think we will see Malarion and his shadow elves switching teams. Dark elves from old-hammer were sadistic assholes but they were some of the most aggressive fighters against Chaos and they had absolutely no connection to Death in that setting either.

I think that the "shadow elves Death Allegiance" speculation is more about wishful thinking from those who desperately need more options in the Death grand alliance.

All elves will be order
With MAYBE slaaneshi chaos elves
Everything in the lore given points to this

>When they DO get updated at least youll be OG order serpentis and can laugh at the faggots who will have to start from scratch whereas youll have a new painted army ready to go

dude I have 20 cold one Knights + leaders and Cold one chariots painted sitting on the shelf in this room right now. I tell you from actual games I've played that they underperform every time. There are lots of other options for elves that aren't as bad as Order Serpentis.

However the Dreadlord on Black Dragon is a steal for his points and worth taking almost every time.

>literally no synergy
>they can totes run together in the same army guys!

This is like saying Archaon can still run in a Brayherd army and wreck face. Sure, but it won't be because of any keyword synergy, it's because Archaon/skyfires were already good on their own.

okay so constructive advice time:

Ditch the cavalry and replace with absolutely as many dragons / frost heart phoenixes as you can cram into your army. Take a unit of sitsters of the watch and stick Alarielle on foot and a loremaster in the middle of it and throw up the minimum number of battleline shooter elf infantry in front as speedbumps.

>melee infantry
also if you ever do consider elf infantry for something other than just a battleline requirement filler then the only two options worth even looking at are Phoenix Guard and Executioners.

there is a formation called Exiled Blood Cult in the back of the Dark Elf Compendium that is the best youll ever hope to do with a melee footslogger elf army.

Gold vs Silver Stormcast

Which is objectively better?

personally, even just looking at all gold stormcast gives me a headache

Standard metallic with head swaps. Make them look like Warcraft Paladins.
