Doesn't look like the lazy Sons Of Horus are putting it up...

I REALLY don't want to close this thread - as Pre-Orders are announced tomorrow.

People who ignored the PUBLIC WARNING in this thread have been... taken care of.

So, there you have it.

Taken care of in a .... Dark Eldar way...?

And STILL not updated :(
If only I could have access to interwibble while at uni

Monday's "What's New Today" is up - Reavers

Advanced orders apparently go up at noon (GMT)...

From what I gather, the preorders won't go up until noon, and there won't be anything in it you haven't seen already (hoping I'm wrong though). The remainder of the first wave will be shown off at the Italian and German gamesdays and be available to preorder a few days later.

Except the prices

I've been going to the GW site every day to see these concepts and read Jes Goodwin's commentary on them. Good stuff.

I noticed nothing is up for pre-order yet, though...not that I can afford to pre-order anything right now anyway. I wish I was a little more "prepared" for this release, but I guess that's what happens when you don't even think there's going to be a release (and you have bills out the ass). Not that I'm complaining too much, just think a little more of a heads-up would be nice.

Oh well, I hope my money will still be good enough for them in three months. I'm going to drop about $800 all on Dark Eldar models.

Anyway, I'm really curious to see what else they'll reveal this week, if anything. I want to see how the hellions came out.

Is it just me or has every single DE model been removed from the website?

Oh and a Dedicated Transport option just popped up.

Another tidbit by Frgt/10:
Black box is Codex, warriors, raider and jetbikes.
saturday 6th november at a guess the warriors, raider, wyches, jetbikes, incubi, lelith and archon will also be released on the 6th with the mandrakes, hellions, urien and ravager to be released on the 20th.
Mandrakes have stealth/infiltrate.

The two new HS slots are flyers(!):
Razorwing Fighter

Voidraven Bomber:
It is armour 11 with duel strength 9 Ap 2 dark lances, can move 36 inches, fire all weapons when moving 12, can drop a strength 8 bomb along its flight path. Costs as much as Rhino plus Ravager.

And to all people wanting Arhra in the Codex (warning, massive spoiler):

Drazhar, the generic haemonculi and the talos are the only models still up.

Spoiler:

It is strongly implied in the Codex that Arhra= Drazhar!
Especially given Drazhars stats are now identical to the Eldar phoenix lords...
explains why he's a hq in his own right now as well
Drazhar isn't a pupil of anyone, he walked into the incubi inner sanctum, decapitated the heirarch and became their leader
very simple and very drazhar
he also hasn't spoken a word since entering commoragh

SO hot. Do want.... Is the Void Raven just the Raven from FW? Couldn't find it on the site, so...

"Two prototypes were sculpted onto the basic chassis: one Craftworld and one Dark, shown here. Where the Craftworld bike would feature lots of aerodynamic cowling and a uniform look..."

"Once the prototypes were finished, the Craftworld version was set aside."

"Tom took the same route as the prototype, developing a basic chassis that could be re-used in the future."

I think this sounds very positive for us Craftworld Eldar, as the prototype jetbike might indeed be released sooner or later

It's up.

BTW preorders are up now.

Warriors and wyches are only £15!

All those prices are way less than I expected.

Almost non-sense making compared to other, comparable boxes. Now I know GW often doesn't make sense, but in a positive way for us?

Kroothawk wrote:BTW preorders are up now.

This info made my morning...

+1

I was going to say is it me or are those prices reasonable but it's obviously not just me.

Jetbikes are £2 cheaper then warbikes, why, I couldn't begin to fathom out.

Still no Hellions, they're the ones I'm waiting to see.

Is it just me or is everything really priced low?

It's just the painters' choice. Green goes well with red, purple with yellow, blue with orange, something to do with colour wheel opposites I think.

Except the Reavers, Codex and arguably Raider, I'd say so, yes! Maybe the really do want Dark Eldar to sell well. Or Jes threatened them in a very Dark Eldar manner...


Kroothawk, great spoiler about Arhra. That is AWESOME!

Red contrasts sharply with the both the dark colours used for the armour and the pale skin tones.

As I said on Warseer, the Wyches only have the same number of sprues as something like the Daemonettes, so I was expecting the 15 pound price point. The Reavers are a touch cheaper than I expected, and I thought Lelith might be 10 pounds, but I'm glad I'm wrong.

At 45 AUD for Lelith, 10 Wyches and Kusanagi from Maelstrom ATM, I might get a box after all.

I don't follow that Spoiler. They ret-conned one of the most prominent figures in Eldar and Dark Eldar history (Even though he's in other parts of the codex) and gave him a new name? Thought our character in question fell to Chaos and DE can't be led by him - not only is that the rumor, but that makes sense within the timeline and the story.

Guess we'll have to see when the codex is released, but that doesn't make much sense, imo.

Amaya wrote:And why are they all gingers?

This proves Cartman was right after all

Order placed. And no, I did not just order the codex

3 raiders, 1 Archon + Incubi squad, 1 warrior squad and 1 wych squad will arrive with him. A small force to begin with

No Battleforce, I see. (Yet.)

I've noticed that most everything else is removed (save for the Talos and Haemonculi). Maybe the waves will be added as we get closer to release date. After all, "new models" are supposed to be unveiled at the next GD.

Interesting though that, although they have the old Talos and Haemonculi up, there are no Harlequins in any of the FOC slots on the website.

Holy crap - Just Dave pointed this out in the other thread, but I just saw it as well on the website (was looking for confirmation):

With Weapon Skill 9 and four attacks which ignore armour saves, plus an extra one for each point her weapon skill is higher than her foe's, Lelith can murder entire squads.

That's sick.

About right though as WS isn't that dependant on many things. And it may only apply against non IC's.

In addition - love the new stuff, yes cheaper than expected!

AA the 'dex this evening methinks..

Anyone have any idea when the Independent Retailers (like Wayland Games) will have the advanced orders up?

seems odd that the reavers are expensive. 42 bucks Canadian?
The descriptions of whats on sprue gives us some clues about new possible weapons. I see shredders and blasters still exist. The bikes have a couple new guns.

A power weapon in the wyche squads. No blasters anymore for wyches.

I'll be ordering the codex, 2 squads of wyches, and 2 raiders next pay to fill out my current 3000 points of the dark ones. Then codex in hand I'll have to see what I need to do to bring my army up to snuff.

Wow, if the WS thing is true about Lelith, she's going to make a mess.

After a closer inspection of the wyche heads, i have to say I don't really like them. There's 1 cave girl, 2 scream faces, and 1 that actually looks ok. Its a shame.
