The second note on the bottom of the picture: "Should take range of plastic arms from Wyches, Warriors, and Scourges".

Sorry if it was obvious beforehand, it just makes me happy to have plastic Scourges confirmed.

Glad I wasnt the only one to notice this.

I think that the "summer of flyers" is actually going to be the "summer of flying infintry" so there will be plastic shrikes, scourges and raptors.

CSM needs a Codex that isn't garbage before they can make Raptors worth buying.

Sneak pics? Three months out?

Calling HBMC ...

He was attempting to be witty, since HBMC is always complaining that GW doesn't do previews.

Ahhhhh I see now. Lol

Ouch. Sorry, Kan. I'll try harder next time.

Minor rumour by Jokaero, not usually a rumour poster over at Warseer:

I spoke to a redshirt today who had recently been to the studio who told me to expect two metal special characters, believing more than likely for them to be the Baron and the Decapitator; he cited these choices based on the fact there are pictures of them in the codex and was fairly confident on this. (I'm sure Decapitator rumours were flying round ages ago.)

I put salt on my fries but a rumour is a rumour.

Knowing that there is a big chance of having more minis in June is knough for me.

I ate a bunch of mushrooms and tripped for hours in the woods till I became one with the universe and spoke with God.

He said plastic venom and scourges are next.

So it looks like:

Plastic: Talos/Cronos, Venom, Scourges, Razorwing
Metal: Wracks, Groteques
Blister: Haemonculi, Baron, Decapitator

Did I miss something?

I was in FLGS talking to one of the guys who works at GW HQ. He was doing the usual job of keeping very secretive about the whole thing although he did say he has seen them and there are several nice plastic kits. I asked if they were Haemonculus related and he just smiled and tried to sell me a Furioso and preorder Grey Knights!

One of the reasons why I got out of GW.. resisting the urge to punch smug staff giving it the "I can't tel you" smile.

That doesnt seem so hard, does it.




Unless of course you have an anger problem.

I don't punch people every day!

Just messing with you.

I have an anger problem when people act like they are in the CIA when they are in fact simply menial staff selling me toys. It's tiresome. Its a little like when you talk to someone who is in the Cadets or the T.A, but mouths off as if they were SAS or Commando when they so very plainly are not. Boy scouts... gneh.

It is rather hard to not punch them when they either do the "I know something and you don't" dance or happily tell you about release X as if it just happened while it has been unveiled weeks before.

Though the "You play Elysians? Did you know that the Imperial Guard has plastic Valkyries now?!" comment still gets to me. It's a reflex, sorry.

In fairness, I did have more than a few GW staff friends who In shop would be "I cannot reveal the future of GrimDark War unto you, mere mortal", who in the pub ten minutes later would happily go "Yeah, so X is coming out on Y, and they're not doing C until the GrimDark future." And it cost GW NOT ONE IOTA of coin us all knowing what and when was going to happen. Apart from when some of us found out that X codex wasn't due for about two years, and that Y chap with the gun you actually needed was NEVER happening. Then it cost them, and dear. But if they will insist on failing to support their rules range with a complete figure range, its hardly surprising.

Well they do have to have something to cheer them up and help them forget they're being paid peanuts.

After I learnt how much GW folks get paid, it gave them a whole new line of sympathy with me. Back a while at least they had the pleasure of getting all their minis from the company and paid by weight... now I think it's only a 50% discount.

Are we sure it will be a Razorwing box/both flyers.
I have a feeling because they put a picture for the Razorwing and its almost identical to the FW Eldar equivalent in the dex that we may only get a Voidraven model out of this.

Any new news/rumors?

I'd like to know if I should hold off on creating a conversion for the venom (which involves both a raider and a vyper so it's quite pricey) or if I should wait for the plastic set in June! Any new info. would be greatly appreciated.

Wait for it! I believe it has been confirmed. And agreed, I personally doubt the 'summer of flyers' actually happening.

They'd have to be stupid not to put out a venom kit. What self-respecting Dark Eldar player isn't going to need at least 5 of them?

I don't!

Oh, wait, you said self-respecting... :(

I love how they took close up shots of some random spikes on a shoulder pad and that is supposed to feed the dark eldar frenzy? C'mon GW!

Yes, "Cost by weight of material" has been gone since before the demise of the bits service. Even when they had it, it was only available if you went to the US Bunker/Warehouse (Glen Burnie) in person.

Staff discount is 50% off GW, 25% off FW now.

It's their first timid steps into the real world of marketing after several years of absence, so don't be too hard on them

And clearly it worked, people can't stop talking about it.

An interview with Jes Goodwin in the first WD after the first release last fall confirmed the Venom kit (complete with Wych "hanging" crew) was done and ready for release. It ll be there eventually.

yeah,
