An artist has previewed some commissioned work, including this piece for GW:

| "It's not the men we fear, sir. It's the evil spirits." |
Very characterful piece, and nice to see Empire troops getting a pasting (I prefer Wood Elves as spiteful neutrals, rather than forest-dwelling hippies). Aside from the usual suspects, could there be some clues about the new units:
- A decent Treeman model? (desperately needed, in my view)
- Another Orion model? (probably not, although he's never been useful in the rules. A properly sylvan-looking Ariel model would be more welcome)
- Most importantly - Stag Cavalry? (huzzah!) Is this a new look for the Wild Riders? Given the fashion for dual kit plastics, is there going to be a Wild Rider/Stag Rider combo? (although surely you can't just include head swaps for stags and horses and expect them to look right).
- My preference would be for a Monstrous Cavalry option, not least because 1) I hate the current 'moose' great stag model, 2) I still plan to paint up my 3rd edition Elf Knights as Wild Riders.
All very exciting. With Dwarves and Wood Elves getting a refresh in 2014, I may have to put the greenskins on hiatus for a while...
