Interesting that Dark Elves got a team before the Rotbringers.

You should have at least two rerolls with that team. I would personally take three rerolls, leave the minotaur out and also only take two or three chaos warriors at the start. In addition, an apothecary is also a must have requirement.
But if you are only playing single matches then the starting roster is good enough for some bashing.

Resin Star Players Eldril Sidewinder, Roxanna Darknail and Dark Elf Assassins. 12 player Dark Elf team.
These Dark Elves wear retro helmets from 1989. 
That´s an automatic sale. I need the pitch, the dice, the Star Players and of course the team.
The one thing that´s not so great is the new Witch Elf hair. I would have much preferred the 80s hair style but that is only a minor issue.

Even all the different cheerleaders look great. Special mention goes to the female orcs:
If the opposing orc players won´t cause any problems for you, then their cheerleaders will surely give you a hard time.
Yes, someone was very creative with the pitch. Who would have expected a freaking tentacle on the field? Good stuff. Automatically Appended Next Post:
Don´t tell me team boosters are on their way? Jesus, what a day! First the retro Dark Elves, then the awesome cheerleaders and now even unexpected team boosters. Please, no more terrific news for today or I might die from excitement.

Ok, now I want to play a match on a boat under attack where the entire pitch is tilted in a random direction each turn and everything, players, balls etc. gets moved in that direction ( D6 minus Strength or something) and they get knocked down on a 1.

Everything looks good, wasn't expecting dark elves though. The chaos/elven union cheerleaders are cool, hope FW prices them reasonably.

Yes, I saw the before picture earlier. It’s probably like the Chaos pitch; if a certain condition is met by halftime, flip the board and suffer random tentacle attacks for the second half.
One suspects that, given this is a dark elf pitch, the condition might be the home side losing.

Dark Elves were not not I was expecting (and to be fair a little bummed we got more elves before Undead and Lizardmen), that said they really knocked them out of the park. The models are gorgeous and I'll definitely pick up a box, if I had any issue it would be the dark elf blitzer's helmet is a bit silly, but overall great stuff. I'm also excited to see that Human booster getting near, and the cheerleaders look great.

The unexpected DElves are extremely cool, but as a kill team they might be even cooler. The one with the scaled scarf is begging for a pistol and a CCW.
The troll is cool, too. I wish the Rat Ogre had their quality.
PS: Lizardmen with Sauri as bulky as the Carnosaur rider and a TW: WH2 Kroxigor next, please.

Anyone here have a solid idea of which models will be in the dark elf boxed set? No assassins, apparently, but which combination of witch elves/blitzers/runners/linemen is it?

 1400 points of EW/MW Italians (FoW)
 2200 points of SoB and Inquisition (40K)
 1000 points of orks (40K)
 Just starting out with Ultramarines (30K)
 Four 1000-2500 point forces for WHFB (RIP)
 One orc team (Blood Bowl) |

I assume it’s double of the 6 shown in the official photo on WarCom.

Since it'll almost certainly be two identical sprues I think we can hazard a safe guess at 2x blitzer, 2x witch elf, 2x runner, 6x lineman.

So:
2× Witch Elf
2× Blitzer
2× Runner
6× Lineman
Which is exactly 1,000,000gp all in, with no re-rolls etc.
Leaves the expansion pack to include:
2× Assassin
2× Blitzer
Maxing out the positionals.

It seems to me it probably would have been mentioned, but I thought I should ask. Did anyone who attended the seminar hear anything about Blitz Bowl? I'm really curious to see if it's any good, because 40 minute games of Blood Bowl means I could get a whole lot more Blood Bowl in my life.
