Its previews/teasers like this that make me question if GW even has a marketing board

Depends on what you want them to do. 5 warriors with a blaster, sybarite, and blast pistol in a Venom is a pretty standard configuration for a cheap scoring unit that can tank hunt with lance weapons and zap infantry with their Venom's splinter cannons. 150 pts for 12 splinter shots and 2 lance shots ain't bad.

I run 5 wracks with a Liquefier in larger point games for a more durable scoring unit that murders foot infantry foolishly guarding objectives. The 5-man warriors as listed above do indeed work very well too.

Small, MSU type units are probably the BEST troop units for DE, in all honesty. I run 5-man wych squads with Haywires, too. I want access to the firepower and durability of the Venom (65 points of awesome) and a unit capable of scoring and/or contributing in some meaningful way. The bigger squads are ok, but only if you have a specific purpose and usually that's a retinue for an IC.

Polaria wrote:1st picture: The head of Wrack. See Codex: Dark Eldar p.19 the wrack on the very right of the picture. Even the angle of the neck is same.

its not a wrack, nor is it a grotesque

I can confirm the following plastic kits for June:

Talos/Cronos
Scourges
Venom
Razorwing*
Voidraven*

*Unsure whether the flyers will be 1 kit or 2 at this stage

All fairly obvious stuff that we all speculated about a while back, but I'm just putting the 100% on them now.

No idea (yet) if there will be any metal models for this wave.

Wracks/Grotesques/Haemonculi are almost certainly NOT happening in June (99% sure on this one)

But the Dude rightly points out:
He doesn't know of metals of any kind, but knows for 99% sure there will not be Wracks/Grotesques/Haemonculi of any kind.

Something that was suggested in the Warseer TK thread that would also apply here is that the reason these releases might not be including any metal kits is because of the metal to resin changeover.

That's right, but Frgt/10 debunked that for the next 3 months. Just the usual metal splash release common for blisters these days.

I would be very surprised if the Razorwing and Voidraven were seperate kits.

This would require twice as much shelf space, different packaging and would probably contain many of the same parts in any case.

After these, unless they put out some metal blisters as well, we will only be left with Archon's court, Haemonculi, Wracks and Grotesques (plus half a dozen SCs) not accounted for from the new dex. Not too bad...

While you sleep, they'll be waiting...

The only reason I could believe that the Razorwing and Voidraven are separate kits is if they are aimed more at the fliers expansion than the DE Wave release, with the Razorwing combined with an Eldar fighter and the Voidraven combined with an Eldar bomber.

I would be very surprised if we didn't see Wracks some time in the near future though even if they aren't plastic. Its rare that a Troops choice (at least thats what they will be 99% of the time) gets ignored for long.

AWESOME! Thanks Kroot for bringing that over. I'm going to have a very broke June. Guess we should be seeing some previews in about a month then!

Crap crap crap!!! I really wish they weren t waiting so long to release the most versatile and highly-used HQ in the army list!! I think most players have figured out that a couple of Haemys can really spike some of your heavy-hitting units making them even harder than they already are...

Minor update by Frft/10:
new info regarding june: apparently the voidraven isn't coming. only the razorwing is.
I've had 2 sources contradict each other now, so not 100% sure what to believe, but I'm more inclined to trust that it isn't going to be released in june.

i asked this exact question and got a resounding no
apparently the new razorwing model shares more similarities with the phoenix

That sound about right. People will buy the razorwing, convert it into a Voidraven and then buy the Voidraven when it comes out. I think I am sticking with my batwing for awhile.
