Looks like it's in a display case on a higher shelf. Half a venom is being covered.

Good eye, Nvs.

the void raven appears to have a larger base and taller flight stand compared to the razorwings around it, not sure if that's a camera lens trick or real though.

Maybe it will be even harder to hit than normal fliers.

and for the battlereport setup there are 3 void ravens and 1 razorwing. all on the same size bases

good spot with the venom, didn't even notice that.

That is crazy.

No it isn't. They only update existing models for 1 unit per release now. Well, exception given to orks, miraculously. Wracks were massively more requested.

Not sure, since they make no market research and don't ask what customers want to have.

I'll refer you to earlier on where I suspected that this was coincidence.

No grotesques kills my interest.

Sad times.

So does anyone else remember my Void Raven I constructed outta 2 razorwings a few years back? I think I hit their concept pretty dead on. What ya'll think?

I feel like this is proof anyone can be a games workshop designer.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
And yes, I think it looks almost identical.

Except the Voidraven was designed and was to be released the same time as the Razorwing, but they had trouble with the cockpit being warped. I assume they fixed the warping issues rather than building the entire thing from scratch, especially when you consider the fact that GW don't give 2 gaks about community, nor do they care about what ever people convert together.

Yes yes, Games Workshop are evil blah blah blah.

Any more rumours anybody?

What? Next week for codex leaks?

I guess not. Solid codex update, not more.

The new kit appears to have 2 weapon options. One would think they would have mentioned the different weapon configuration in the flyer suppliment if they were really that far along.

Of course if the cockpit comes on a different sprue and it also comes with a set of extra weapons, you might be right.

Still no sign of rules rumours? Go on I need my fix!

Plastic Grotesques are faaaaaar easier to convert than plastic Wracks. Box o' Crypt Ghouls & left over Talos bitz, done.

I don't want to convert them. I know it can be done, but I'd actually quite like a kit.

The fact that GW did not make the wracks a dual kit with Grotesques confounds the hell out of me considering that:

1.) Nearly every kit has been a dual kit in some form due to GW wanting to save on shelf space.

2.) Wracks and Grotesques are so similar that it would be a snap.

Aren't Grotesques twice the size of wracks?

I look at the wracks and think they could have made them a dual kit with Mandrakes.

Wracks are human sized, and grotesque are nearer to the size of a dreadnought.

How exactly would you dual kit them ?

Oh wow, they're really that big? I never realized. Never mind then...

Like why aren't Ogryns and Guardsmen a dual kit?

What about Tau Battlesuits and Firewarriors?


What they should have done, is created 2 types of wracks. One ranged and one close combat, but instead it seems they just added a special weapon to an otherwise flawed concept (purely CC unit with no regular shooting weapon and BS4)

Maybe the wracks come together like some sort of Power Rangers megazord of even Voltron. They just need to put some pegs on the wracks and BOOM! Up that cost kit another $10 for dual compatibility.

Actually, that would be kind of awesome.

Wracks bogged down against something?

Combine em up into beefy mc biceps the superwrack....

Azure you hit it dead on man! The comment about anyone could be a GW model designer, well there are some pretty talented modelers here on Dakka! So I think a few of them could do well as a full time designer.

I had the first Dark Eldar for a demo army, I enjoyed the builds and painting a dark army, these new models really blow the old away! Really impressed, the flyers look like great kits.
Thanks for posting all the pictures and information about the upcoming release!

Some new stuff is over at natfka. New archon, succubus, and vect + dais models will supposedly be released. In turn 3 DE get armywide feel no pain, and turn 5 gets fearless. Supposedly from a commenter who read the WD, if you have a haemonculus, effects are stronger, or Urien of course.

More Voidraven gubbinz and Wych Succubus.. That's a really, really big fething bomb lol

That's the bomb?! That thing is huge 0_0

I like how it looks bioengineered. What type of bomb is it? Viral?

That's the Void Mine supposedly. I quite like the Bomb Aimer's bit at the front. I can imagine it enveloped in some sort of energy field

A bioengineered void mine? Makes sense I guess...XCOM: Apocalypse did it after all.

Now let's hope it actually has a big effect to match the big bomb...
