If I'm not mistaken, they show the cover for the new DE codex( Archon). It's the background to the " how to paint wrack" tab. Just a small peak of it

Not noticed those painting videos before. Are they new? Credit where it's due, that was actually pretty good web content

Preorders up:

I really want to see that voidraven, it sounds awesome. Too bad it's going to be like $100+, and if the rules don't change significantly then I can't see it being worth taking, either.

I always liked the wrack models. I'll echo the disappointment in them being monopose models, converting to plastic is usually a good opportunity to make them more posable, but with wracks it doesn't bother me too much if they look like a "clone army" because, well, they kinda do anyway. They're not really "supposed" to have much individuality or personality anymore, they're essentially just tools for their haemonculus masters (hence the name, they're basically living racks for the haemonculus to store tools and crap on, lol). On that note I'm a little disappointed they didn't give you optional bits to create a female haemonculus especially since it's a $26 model. Kinda lame that it costs so damn much and only goes together the one way.



Oh, just noticed on the website and thought it was worth noting: it was said that the justification for the cost of the wracks kit was all the extra bits included for raider/venom pilots/gunners, but according to the website you get one pair of arms in the kit to make either a gunner or pilot, and you basically still have to sacrifice at least one model to do it because there aren't any extra torso pieces for him. So yeah, you get one fething bit. Much value. Such generosity. Wow.

At least it doesn't look like there are extra torso pieces. I'm assuming the bodies have to have both a rear and front torso plate glued to them to complete them judging from the sprue pics, so if I end up being proven wrong then whatever.

Yeah, those $100+ space wolf flyers were really a bitch...

And there looks to be an extra torso for the rider dude in the sprue pics I posted. Jeeze. Piece 63, first sprue.

You're right, $100+ is probably an exaggeration, but I don't think the $80+ price point is really all that reasonable, either.

I saw that, yeah, which is why I made an extra edit to my post in case I end up being proven wrong. You can only see their backs and I just assumed the front plate was separate too like the warrior kit for some reason, but that probably is an extra torso. Still, though, kinda disappointed that "all those extra bits!" ended up being a single torso and one pair of arms for either driver/gunner. I don't know why but I was expecting at least five sets of extra bits, with a set on each sprue. =\

Where did you find the third sprue pics ???

. On GW site, they only show the first 2 ones.

So I guess the reason for their price is that their is 3 sprues in the box, contrarly to the wyches and kabalites (2 sprues iirc)

I saw all 3 sprues on the website.

Rules leaks pls

I think one driver body per 5 man squad makes sense.

that'S really wierd. The 3rd one dont show up for me !!!

I haven't gotten any new miniatures in a couple years, but are all new kits like these? No pose options at all because the entire body is effectively 2 pieces?

Plastic HQ's lately have gone that route. Sucks.

Well even the Wracks seem to be that way. I can modify the arm angle some, but no torso changes?

Caved in and preordered one of each. Found it discounted on ebay for much cheaper and figured since I'll be starting DE that these would be a decent place to start. I'll be buying maybe the current battleforce over the weekend too to get some stuff to build while I wait for the codex.

Just waiting for the codex to go up, so I can decide whether or not to get the Limited Edition (probably will)

Parts 63, 64, and 65 are a venom/razorwing pilot and arms.
Part 67 is a set of gunner arms for a venom/raider gunner.
Parts 69 and 70 are a set of raider pilot arms.

Waiting for a quote on my favorite swap shop dealer as well. I need at least 1 of each, maybe more once I see the dex.

I thought that part of the price of the Wrack box would be the fact that each box came with 2-3 bits to make crewmen. Nope. You gotto sacrifice full wracks to make crew, unless that single bit is the single crew guy you get (though it could be the front of a torso).

A whole lot of arms. That's great.

Might get the box of wracks and make hemonculi out of them as im no fan of there current rules(wracks). Of course this will be after the dex drops.

It comes out tomorrow and nobody knows anything... I have no doubt that somewhere in GW's backward collective mind, my utter ignorance of this new release is glorious victory... It's also why I'm not in a hurry to spend money on it.
Had I but known some details weeks ago, I could have saved money and gotten excited.

I'm wondering if they're trying to pull a fast one by releasing the Wracks before the rules.

"OH wow! Great models! I'll buy some of those!"
"Oh.... garbage rules. I think I'll leave those at home." : /

Aren't there rule in the WD? There usually are.

Either way, I don't plan to get them. Not a fan of the coven units. Only coven model I have is an old metal haemi that I got for like $4 to make a shipping threshhold for the good DE stuff at a discount site.

Saving my money for a void raven, codex, and cards.

We dont know if it comes out tomorrow, it was probably for the reveal in the WD. It also had no mention of it in the WD price listings so it might be 2-3 weeks.

The codex cover looks awesome.

Where's the Vect + Dais kit? I'm worried...

Vect + Dais has only ever been wishlisting/speculation as far as I know.


Wracks seem kind of cool, but lack of poseability is pretty poor and cements a trend on that direction. The Haemonculus would look decent if it wasn't for the tail. Not £15.50 decent, but that more or less goes without saying with these monopose HQs.

Nope. No rules in this WD I'm afraid. Gotta wait til the Codex lands.

Lol it's only week 1 of the Dark Eldar release. If the Space Wolves are anything to go by, there will be a character release about the same time as the codex comes out.

Well, I still remember the amount of rumours we were getting at the time of the Tyranids release. To say the solid info is scarce these days is putting it mildly.
