Now, the good stuff: pricing. It looks like they shot backwards four price increases to try and boost initial sales here folks, which means only one thing. BUY BUY BUY.

The other good stuff: terrain. Look at the background of the picture in their blog post, I'm thinking that at least one of those terrain pieces isn't thin foam cut and thrown together. I'm actually even seeing similar patterns between the broken stuff (which I thought was maybe foam) and the building on the right (which was probably not).

Whoops... totally missed the last page of the incoming thread running all of this. My bad (please delete).

As well they are and as the mammoth 38 page thread discussing them is:

Edit: Just seen your edit!

Let's see...sift through 38 pages of nonsense or just get the information on page 1....nope, I think you're ok.

I can see the prices in pounds.
What are the equivalent prices in euro?

Still to come? Hellions Grotesques

Ravager, Hellions, Mandrakes and Urien Rakarth are all up for Advance Order on October 19.

Wow, these guys and girls looks really great.

I hate Dark Eldar. I dislike Elves, and consider the whole concept of Dark Elves to be even dumber. That being said, these models are incredible. I love the Incubus models especially - those helmets!

Urien was one of the models in the previous DE line that actually had great character and execution.

The new one looks stunning as well! Fabulous models.

Quite intreaged by the 'complete new fluff' too. Will make for an interesting read.

Looks like i'm starting another army. To be fair i have been waiting a couple of years for this release, as im sure have many.

My mind was just blown!!

Holy gak, the models just keep getting cooler!

And they aren't that pricey, either. $25 for a squad? That is not bad at all.

need feed, i mean buy.. survive till november.. sooo precious

I hate Homunculus model and dislike the hellions , hoping they can be given diffrent heads.

The Games workshop website has been refusing to load for me all day long. Most frustrating...

I want them so, so badly but no freelance jobs are coming in.

;-;

Urien could you lend us a hand!

That being said...not bad GW. Not bad at all.

Even more kick-a§§ DE models. Helions alright, that Urien fella looks ace, Ravager is made of win and so is the Homunculus

And the GW website says Wyches get a 4+ Invulverable save for their supernatural agility. I love 40K physics and rationalization! It's like character ducking phasers after they've been fired on Star Trek. Regardless, Wyches badly needed a saving throw, a reliable one, to make them truly useful in games and now they have it. Maybe I will add a squad of the new plastic ones to my existing metal squad. I'm amazed at how good the new plastic ones look. GW is capturing a level of detail in plastic now never imagined just a few years ago.

These are good miniatures by GW standards, but still behind the class best.....tempting enough to consider starting a DE army, but......do I trust GW enough to keep my army relevant for long enough?

Wyches have always had 4+ Inv saves in CC since their 3.5 upgrade, so nothing different. But you are right, the new plastic are amazingly detailed. Even more than the old metal versions.

Ah, but is it close combat only now or against shooting as well? The problem before was their Raider got shot down by massed bolter fire then the Wyches got chewed up by shooting before ever reaching combat.

Given the context of the statement from that blurb, I'd say it's referring to CC. Still, lots to be seen from the codex so I certainly would appreciate any additional benefit my wyche squads could gain to survive incoming fire.

I had to stare at the picture for a second before I realized that is the Ravager and not the Raider. GW needs to learn how to take 360 degree pictures like PP. (Shudder, I know, comparing the two!)

Also, sometimes I feel like they assemble their models in the most mundane poses, with the harshest lighting possible and the worst paint scheme. It appears that the Hellion is a multipart model, but damn if that pose, angle and paintscheme really suck the life out of a model that should be just as good as the rest of the line, since it's all in the same style sculpted by the same guy!

EDIT:

Mandrake is amazing though, and probably useful for alot of other things besides mandrakes.....Oh fluff, what are you going to be?

I love those Mandrakes. They're great.

I'm still confused as to why they have no mouth.

I thought the same...but hey with new fluff, maybe they're some quasi warp entity and don't need a mouth.

Either way, I think now would be a good time for me to get my act together and do a step-by-step for flesh garments and "pale" Elves.

You don't need a mouth when you're on fire!!!

Mandrakes appeared faceless before, did they not? I believe it was to represent the shadowy, hard to see, literally and figuratively, nature of their kind. And of course, BILC (because it looks cool).

Wow. This is the biggest change in a line of models that I have seen in a long time. The Dark Eldar models came from looking like an absolute mess to THIS
