Araloth is a possible dlc character for later.

1) WE have nothing left for a dlc without some serious barrel scraping and inventing new stuff.

2) They are low down on the list and likey won't get back to before support for the game ends (even without doomer predictions)

3) Old world is a seperate licence and not a signal for anything in the game.

Araloth was in the 8th ed rule book and therefore not an TOW orginal character. And maybe but theres no reason to thing warhammer total war is near the end of its life cycle.

Every race deserve one last DLC in Wh3. Or at least FLC.

And I still believe there will be some Character Pack type of DLC in the end.

Araloth LL

Naeith LH

Wytchwethyl LH2 (taking the generic lord slot, similar to what was done with Khorne in OoD for the generic hero)

Shadowdancer generic hero

Meadows Chariots 

Ancient Treeman (Blackbriar Javelin) -> long range variant, same slot as Arachnarok Flingers

Wildcats beast pack

Naiads (water dryads)

Incarnate Elemental of Life (why not)

"Rework":

- Enchanted arrows for relevant units implemented similarly to aspects for forest spirits (can be switched in campaign map)

- Additional magical forests for example Dukhlys forest in Kislev, Khuresh, Ind (hopefully finally opened by DLC time)

- More amber techs or additionally more use and availability of amber (for example to build additional defences like rock throwing Guardian trees, potentially create new magical forests,...)

Should be enough for a Wood Elves DLC.

Point 3 I don’t know about but strongly agree with points 1 & 2

Araloth is a WHFB armybook character.

Araloth is a must have LL. Be it via a regular LP,  a character pack or FLC. But he has to come.

Eh, he's a minor character without much lore, it's hardly a must have LL. That said I do want to see him in the future, wouldn't mind a small WE rework, the first one was good but the current WE gameplay is very repetitive and CA could flesh out what was added by the first rework a bit.

He’s a major 8th Edition Armybook character with tons of lore. He is to the WE what Kurt Helborg is to the Empire in terms of importance.

Is the "tons of lore" in the room with you ?

I'd say we could promote a Branch Nymph champion from 8th to a generic lord slot so that Drycha could have armies led by other Dryads rather than just Treemen. Put that, both Naieth (although I'd want her as a LL ideally) and Wychwethyl and then you only have to cough up 4 units instead of 5. Less stretching and non-canon reaching for units.

Poor Araloth. Poor Wood Elves. It is but yet another disinfected race with little background lore in the Arcane Journal.

But, yes, I would like to see the man in TW:WH. His proper, WH:FB incarnation, though.

Here's my ideal version of a WE update:

+ a few ammo variant patch units

It’s actually just standing behind you.

He only existed for the last 12 months of WFB’s existence (the final AB and ET), he’s no where even comparable to Kurt Helborg who’s been around since 4th Ed and has been in multiple ABs, novels and other publications.

Araloth was made important to the 2 publications  he appeared in, but he’s got zero pedigree in the wider scheme of things.

 As an 8th Ed character he should probably appear in TWW, but let’s not overegg his importance here. It undermines credibility.

It’s entirely irrelevant when a character was introduced.
