Warhammer: Wood Elves 1.62 out now!

A smaller update here, mostly focused on fixing a bunch of bugs from the previous version. As for new things, the Lore of Athel Loren has seen some changes with spells from AoS getting replaced with new spells from TOW, making it more aligned with classic WHFB. There's also a bunch of new magic items from TOW included.

As for new units, Spite Swarms are a new core option, meaning you now have some actual use of all those extra spite models from the 6th ed plastic kits! The Treeman has been downgraded to a Monstrous Creature in the Special section which better fits the 5th and 6th ed models, and the old Treeman Rare unit has seen a boost to a Treelord with more T and W. 

Lastly, Treekin has seen a nerf to T4 which makes the T values for all the Tree-like Forest Spirits scale better, and is also better suited to the rather spindly models as well. However, they have seen both a price drop and gotten weapons options that allow players to proxy them using the Kurnoth Hunters from AoS. The Sylvan Hunters unit has therefore been removed from the Rare section - it was nearly identical in stats to the Treekin anyway, only with +1WS and -1T - despite them actually being bigger models (which was not very consistent or logical). So while the Treekin are a bit squishier now, you have more options to kit them out without taking up a Rare choice.

Next up: Vampire Counts!
