That Urien model is SICK! Love it! BTW, Gwar for the workblocked!

The model reminds me a techmarine with a full servo!

Sure, if that trips your trigger

grak wrote:Erm, does that hellion have a female chest and a male head/arms?

Well, I thought the head was female, but now that I look at those arms... wow. Manly. But then again, what do I know about Helion workout routines?

LoL, I was just poking fun. It is the least impressive model of the new line so far imo.

I like the new mandrakes, they look at lot more like the way I thought they should look.

Personally I don´t mind if Hellion heads or bodies are fu-gly since it don´t seems hard to replace/convert it. Skyboards look awesome and thats all what I care, both for the DE itselves and for a future "count as" bike for my farseer council (tough I shall turn it upside down to make them fit) . They will be plastic right?

Mandrakes are even better than I expected, and so is Ravager!

Well hopefully this is the only 'static' looking Hellion. Honestly I'd Imagine using some of the Raider 'hanger ons' for hellions if they all end up being so static. It's one reason I never used Hellions originally.

The legs on the Hellion look just fine, and given that all the kits seem to be cross-compatible...

It'd be easy to use any extra torsos from the Reaver box(Jes said something about it coming with something like 6 heads and 6 torsos, if I remember right. Both male+female options, and a helmeted/unhelmeted option) for the Hellions.

It's scary, this is the first army where my wife has not found a model she dislikes.

She likes all of them. In fact she was doing something similar as that Hellion board as a Games Day entry a couple of years back, but we've not gone since 05.

I really like all of it also, especially those Mandrakes.


Just ordered her a Codex from GW so it might get here early, plus one each of the first wave and a second Warriors box from Maelstrom.

My Orks can't wait to have a scrap with these guys.

Indeed. There are sooo many possibilities of conversion with the plastic kits that seems a bit absurd complain because you don´t like a head or even a plastic torso. And still you have 3 elven armies more to choose sprues which fits your taste!

Yes, which is what I stated, that I'd use other parts (Possibly the 'hanger ons' from Raider kits) to convert them to more dynamic poses. I never said I didn't like them, just the only example so far was very static.

Kinda similar imho.

Anyway that legs doesnt seem too hard to bend without broke them...

My problem is with that muscular arms, dark eldar chicks are meant to be evil and feminine! We should try to leave in the past that concept of DE females who look like men and men who look like girls. Or maybe this is actually an elven axiom?

Don´t start with the WoW conspiracy stuff, please. Muscled evil elves are not copyright of Blizzard. And no, Zergs didn´t inspired Tyranids neither.

Like the Mandrakes and the Ravager , both look aswome but i refuse to place that "sail" on it.
The Biotic guy model is horrible , it looks really .The Hellion looks bad , i hope they have changable heads .

Only at first glance. The two are actually pretty dissimilar if you study them more closely.

You're right! A purple horned elf with green tattoos is JUST LIKE a black faceless elf with green tattoos!

Oh, wait, no, they're not at all alike except for both being elves with green tattoos.

These models are so awesome . Oh well seeing as I'm repainting my eldar at the moment maybe some of those reavers would fit in nicely with my new colourscheme............... Checks wallet, oh dear.

Anyone actually read the fluff parts of the codex yet? Any absolute horror stories akin to NecronxDante?

Just got the email from GW. Dark Eldar advance order now available.

The Mandrake is most impressive.

You missed the fact that the purple one has wings...

Also, AFAIK those arent tattoos on the mandrake, its warp energy I think.

Oh wow, using the pole axe hanger-on with an impossibly tilted skyboard would be insane, good idea!

Convertable from flaggelents, dark elves and greenstuff?

Wow, the Ravager is pretty fantastic, and the other mandrake poses in the group shot look really good. the sickle one might be the worst out of the lot, shame he got the close up.

grak wrote:Kinda similar imho.

If by "kinda similar" you mean "they both have green eyes," then yeah. They're "kinda similar."

On a related note, Tyranids are "kinda similar" to Charlize Theron. Because they both have green eyes.

Exuse my ignorance but who is the horned purple dude? its a pretty cool pic.

Illidan, a Night Elf Demon Hunter from Warcraft III.

Oh man Urien has been buuusy. I honestly can't wait to see Drazhar's new stats. He was a combat monster in the old Dex and if the rumors about Lelith are true...

Refuse to place the sail on the raider too?
An extra "2D6 movement says no.

Precisely the idea I had!
