Somewhat disheartening on the prices. I really hope that those Jetbikes are new and not a repackage. I believe the rumourmongers saying they are, but this kind of turns things around. Damn, the Supplement better be another codex at that price.

So we are looking at £60+ for the knight? How do you even justify that, god help those childrens parents come the new apoc release.

It's not so bad in Britain - it'll most likely be £30 for the normal one and £50 for the LE one like the others have been.

(I can't remember if it's £50 or £60 now... most of the others have been £50 right? )

Iranna.

It's stupid that I have to shell out another $50 for a supplement to play my craftworld. It better be worth it. Otherwise, it'll be like getting HUGGED BY a cactus...

How does one save $5 on something that never cost $120?

By making a joke. You know, that thing intended to elicit laughter. Look it up.

Anyhow - Helldrake: $75. Riptide: $85. Wraithknight: $115. When will this madness end?

Again...5 dire avengers for $35 is criminal when we have 10 for that price now and it makes a complete troops choice. Seriously GW...you are even pissing off guys like me with plenty of disposable income.

The description just seems like an added backstory to me rather than a seperate army list, but if it is, GW will force you to buy both, the eldar codex for the general rules and the supplement for the special rules.

I might have missed it, but are the wraithguard a 5-model box, or less? Because at $50 for 5, that's much cheaper than the current models.

The rest of the prices hurt my eyes. The only new models I was hoping for was Warp Spiders. Oh well.

Edit: I suck at maths....

I like how the battle force is the same price as the wraithknight...LOLz. Stupid F**ks. Nothing like cannibalizing a sale...Gee..which looks like it has more value?

Warhammer 40000: Eldar Wraithguard/Wraithblades
This box contains a multipart plastic kit that makes either 5 Wraithguards previously only available in metal or 5 Wraithblades, a new type of deadly close combat warrior.

At this rate it'll be a plastic Yarrick on a scenic base for $200.

And he'll be worth 50 points in-game.

If the rumours of the plastic thunderhawk are true for apoc, anyone wanna take a guess on how much people will have to go into debt for?

Damn, the eldar are right! The End Times are upon us!

Well, looks like FW will be the "cheaper" alternative soon.

Did Dire Avengers really just go from 10 for $37.50 to 5 for $35?!?

Yeah, currently 5 failcast Wraithguard are $60 I think. So we get a price break.

Kind of cringe worthy to say as it gets said too often, but something really needs to change here now.

Yup. Which is why I'm pissed! So now, even buying 2 boxes only gives you 8 regular guys and two exarchs...which is fething stupid! God forbid we get a full squad of troops out of the box...

I'm actually rather surprised they made up a completelynew Aspect for the fighters rather than using the already-established Star Eagles.

I guess Star Eagles fly spacecraft whereas Crimson Hunters fly aircraft?

I have a suspicion that "Star Eagles" was not sufficiently established as a Games Workshop trademark, so they are creating something new that only they can lay claim to.

Wow, they really are nearly doubling the price of Dire Avengers. I really didn't think they'd go there, even after all the nastiness of the past two years' worth of price increases. It's stupefying.

I cannot wait for the new IG codex..... it will probably come with $50 Troop boxes containing 4 models.

Thanks for that, but for some reason I was thinking they were $20 a pop in metal (must be confused with Ork Meganobz).

Hmm. I have lots of disposable income too, and they're making it hard for me to even buy into a combat patrol force - Dire Avengers are just... I don't know what to say. I guess "Buy em now!"

This is incorrect.

Warhammer 40000: Eldar Dire Avengers
The Dire Avengers squad has been repackaged as a five miniature boxed set (including the option of making an Exarch)

So two boxes gets you 10 DA and the option of making two exarchs. You can also just leave them as normal. As I said earlier in the thread, your tears are a bit premature. For all we know, DA have Assault 20 AP3 guns and are 50 points a piece now. Or more realistically, they made them a more elite troops choice and they are max 5 or something silly like that. Let's just wait and see before crying foul.

edit: Not to mention we haven't seen the actual WD or pre-release yet...

Wait, the Iyanden supplement is the same price as the codex? For that price, it should be it's own codex just like space marines have Ba, SW etc.

If GW are planning to do with Eldar what we have with SM - extra books for additional chapters, then I'd damn well appreciate them letting us know that this is 'vanilla' Eldar coming out, if you could shoehorn such a thing into the lore.

These rumours are asking more questions than they are answering.

Doesn't particularly matter game wise, 5 less models for a similar price is just price gouging really

Regardless of how the codex pans out, crying foul is totally justified going from 10 for $37.50 to 5 for $35. For existing kits. Already in plastic. With zero development cost associated with them (now).
