While I understand your excitement in getting the link up first, you think you could of at least posted some pics/info.?

The Imperial ice world of Betalis III is under attack from the combined might of three massive Eldar war hosts. Their motivation for attacking this seemingly insignificant planet is unknown, but General Myndoras Odon of the Cadian 6th Armoured Regiment is intent on bringing about the total destruction of these Eldar invaders. Wielding the might of three Imperial Guard regiments and joined by the savage strength of Bran Redmaw’s Great Company and the colossal power of Titans from the Legio Gryphonicus, the Eldar of Craftworld Mymeara, Craftworld Alaitoc and their Corsair allies may soon regret attacking one of the Emperor’s worlds.
Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara provides a detailed account of the Eldar invasion, as well as background and rules for its protagonists, the Eldar of Craftworlds Mymeara and Alaitoc, their Corsair kin and the forces of the Imperium. Also included are profiles for new special characters, machines of war, and a new Eldar Warrior Aspect squad, the Shadow Spectres. This 224-page full colour hardback book, written by Talima Fox, is packed with vehicle and infantry profiles, three Apocalypse datasheets, a campaign section and an Eldar Corsair army list. In addition the book also contains a detailed background and technical section covering the existing Forge World Eldar range.

Even though I do not play Eldar, I have all other imperial armour books so far and find the story elements very enjoyable to read and the quality of the books is simply amazing.

Judging by the table of contents, I'd say it's a safe bet that the Imperium loses by slightly more than a whole lot. I'm counting 6 entries for the Imperium, and while I'm glad to see the Eldar getting some spotlight, I don't really understand what FW is banking on here. When you couple the price of the book, and the fact that it's content is mostly for an army that hasn't really been all that prevalent in the last few years, I don't see this being a huge seller.

Yes that is a bit disconcerting, however the other 10 IA books would look lonely without this one. So what the heck FW send one over pronto!

IIRC at GD UK they said they hoped to release 2 models for him, one regular version and, it was assumed, one in his "wolfed out" mode.

Hope they stick to this but I guess it'll depend on how his rules work.

They showed one ( prototype ?) at GD.

Already ordered!

I have to say that the Badab War books didn't really drive my imagination the way the rest of the IA books have (probably my dislike for all things power armored, I suppose), so I'm really looking forward to some quality Eldar action!

When you say 'banking on', they don't release books with that in mind. The whole point of this book is that the Eldar get their turn in the sun as they've not been in a proper IA book before.

Badab 1 comes with a big poster as well.

That's the only explanation I can think of. I found the Badab books to be the best of the lot as the fluff was a massive step up, both in terms of quality and writing style. It will be interesting to see if Talima Fox is a better writer and proof reader than Mr Kinrade

Just looking through the index again. I can't help but wonder what will be in the 27 pages that the Elysians take up. I would imagine it will be the full army list (again), but more suited to a winter campaign.

I would also guess that there are masses of colour plates included. There's no other explanation for the new Malcador taking up 5 pages, but Bran's company only getting 3?!.

Actually, the Badab books were written by Allan Bligh...although he seems to have the same 'gift' for typos/errors that Warwick Kinrade has as well. And given that Talima Fox worked as an editor on Imperial Armor Apoc 2nd edition, a book with plenty of lovely issues (as always), I think its safe to assume that the standard of quality will probably remain constant.

Although I don't want to throw them under the bus too much. I know that working with a shoestring staff on huge books like this, especially those that have tons of stats and rules in them makes it incredibly, incredibly easy for issues to slip through the cracks.

But yeah, I'm not holding my breath for a big jump in consistency...I just enjoy the pretty pictures and cool stories.

Well looks like FW have continued their poor naming convention, following on from Carcharodarodons we now have 'Mymeara', something else destined to be misspelled, and who knows maybe even spawn a new meme

.. hmm, athough I guess it must be difficult to keep coming up with names for stuff.

I am excited about the prospect of more Elysian stuff with the snow theme however!

The campaign rules alone were worth the price for IA:9. Our group has really enjoyed playing that way. MUCH more than the Planetary Empires and the set-piece or fixed-list "campaigns" that were in the Seige of Vraks.

This book also has campaign rules that I can't wait to see, since we're winding down our current campaign.

The Eldar player in our group has been waiting impatiently for this book since this summer.

What are you talking about? Looking at the Table of Contents, there's 3 pages on Space Marines in this book. Two of them are probably this page:
