Yesterday I received the New Elves boxed team, and I've to say ....
DON'T BUY IT !!! 
In my humble opinion :
- Too much "static" poses.
- Lost the classical GW "Elf look", right proportions e too much "Human
faces", (poor sculpted) actually the best model are the masked one
- It's difficoult to distinguish between Blitzer and Linelf
- Only one poses for Trower (but I'm not sure on this one ...)
- Really too expensive!"
Let me know what you think about it !!!
Cheers
Griff |

Bought the team - got them a few days ago - am still looking at them. *sigh*
They're lovely!
1) Their hands are the right size...
2) They look like "proper" elves"
3) Their poses are graceful yet realistic (come on - the high elves just look slliy with their head sized fists at their shoulders!!!)
4) Nice detail...
- The blitzers ARE hard to see, but its a kind of elven subtlety I think 
Too expensive? Not at all...
Well done GW - buy that team!!!
In fact my housemate likes them so much he's going to buy his own and we're gonna have a painting contest  |

I'd like to see an Elf team painted in something other than the orange on display in BB Magazine. Please, for the love of Nuffle, choose something else and post it so I can get that picture out of my mind!

 Now that's a testimonial! Are you sure you don't work for GW? |

Hum... PLayed against them at the BloodBowl (a GW staff coach), and sure, it wasn't the same than the 2nd edition ones... But they were nice too, IMHO.
I would try, when i will get my hands on them, to make a small conversion on a catcher... it could be something like a diving catch, if you see what i mean (arf, stupid to be french, sometimes, and unable to have an average english knowledge ) |

That would be nice if it was true. I would then be able to afford more teams.  |

Don't worry about the pads. Heck, my GenCon tourney team has orange pads. But crikey, the whole uni? Give them points for selecting a color that hasn't been done to death, but subtract a bunch of points for selecting that particular color

I'm not sure you'd want to, that's HUGE! Nice, though.
But, to answer your question, there are tags you can use, img and /img for images. Make sure the tag is between [], then put the URL of the picture between the tags. For example, {img}http://www.website.com/picture.jpg{/img}. Of course, make sure its [], not {}.
