Why would that even be a thing? Why would anyone think that GW just flat out wouldn't have a release? I know their business sense leaves something to be desired, but I can't imagine any possible reason why GW would choose not to release anything new for a month.

...Besides, "no releases in june" would be just as good a thing to leak as any actual releases so no, that proves exactly nothing

Maybe our release for this month is a new price rise?

or they finally found a way to drive traffic to their outlets and not to internet discounters...

Either way it hurts them in the long run since less places to buy means fewer new customers and overall fewer sales.

Outstanding, i expect to see that in your sig shortly.

OT. I think that it would be odd for GW to not release anything in the month most of UK school kids go on their summer holidays from School and GW ramp up their events......

...hey, I might actually get all of that painted before the next edition comes out and invalidates the army

I know I am not supposed to ask for stat questions but, how many wounds would The One Surviving Farseer have?

Infinite,

There's a reason why he's still around.

He also has 1+ armour, a 1+ inv and 1+ FNP, plus immunity to RFP.

If somehow he dies, Ynnead awakes and kill all the enemies of the Eldar. Dark Eldar will then rise into power and rule again. Rinse and repeat.

The Farseer also has 4 psychic powers:

Touch of the Reaper: Annihilate a target unit within 60". Unit does not get a Deny the Witch Roll and no saves of any kind are permitted

Electric Magnetic Pulse: All vehicles and Walkers, on the field and in reserves, are wrecked.

Rain of Fire: Assault 5, Large Blast, S8 AP1. Can place large blasts anywhere and they don't scatter. No saves of any kind are to be taken.

Cold Day in Hell: All foot units (regardless if Fearless or not) have to take a pinning and dangerous terrain check.

What are you talking about? The Last Farseer is Ynnead.

Special ability:

You, and your little god too...

Autokill one model, and erase their deity from 40K existence...


Doesn't work on Orks. Everyone else is fair game.

I'm pretty sure you guys are just describing the big E's statline at this point.

Eldrad's?

E wishes he had it so good

Holy cow! It could be Eldrad! Turns out he isn't dead, his mortal body was just gone. That can only mean one thing, he got sucked up into the warp. He's been wandering around in there, probably responsible for saving Draigo and making him look good (aka Draigo stealing credit). So all the Eldar are dead leaving a ticked off Eldrad who merges with the Infinity Circuit to complete and control Ynnead.

Fluff written, print it, sell it. Gold

Is it bad if I would be totally ok with Eldrad becoming a warp wandering super hero?

Local retailer told me yesterday that they have to put in preorders by next week.

BTW congrats! Your local store in Minnesota just made front page headlines: Natfka now thinks there is a global delay in the Eldar release:

Wonder if GW have found the leak

Rumor has it he was seen being driven away in a black limousine with a stylized I on the grill.....

I doubt we get lots of remodeled aspects and stuff.
Jetbikes and Wraithguard might get redone, but based on the last couple of codex (and armybook) releases there will be a medium wave of new models, most of them brand new codex entries and some new modeled characters (like the farseer).

Since I didnt get any epic new greater daemons, as several rumours had promised me, I would not even trust the wraithguards to get a plastic remake just yet.

Anyway, the important thing for me is new rules (and a flyer would be nice!)

As said above, Maugan Ra's got that covered by and large. He likes to go on solo-hikes through the Eye of Terror once in a while to clear his mind after single-handedly stopping entire Hive Fleets from making Planet-fall.

I hear he and Draigo are long time BFFs. God bless the little death dealing Emo

My wild guess tells me the following plastics are most probably the ones to appear:

Farseer
Flyer Kit
Wraithguard
Wraithknight
Jetbikes/Shining spears

And then a few finecast minis

First Wraithknight image up:

Don't know if it's been posted yet but I didn't see it on the last couple of pages.
Ninja'd.

I'll take a hundred wraithknights, please

It looks like something out of Robotech, really can't dicide if I like it or not. I guess it has lots of conversion potential, but just lokks kinda silly TBH.

If those scatter laser looking things on the shoulders are sized like an actual scatter laser that thing is huge.
