You forget that a few of us saw the "Adepticon Springbreak Goes Wild" pics.

We know you lie.

That which has been seen cannot be unseen.

The Dark Eldar are, by fluff, sex-addicted, space-cocaine snorting, cross-dressing, slave-taking, soul stealing space pirates. They should fit the bill. No one is forcing you to buy minis with man-thongs.

And the winner of sig of the decade so far is Metallifan.

Trying to keep a guy pinned for the three-count when his junk is in your face does take a lot of skill.

Speaking from experience as a Top or Bottom?

OK, I'll take your word for that if it keeps me out of the situation...

**Sidstyler**

I intentionally left myself open for that.

Remember John, we all want pictures of you paying up.

**Rymafyr**

I'm not so sure he'll have to...despite how much I want a new DE release.

**Fateweaver**

Wow, still doubters.

I bet Harry himself could provide pics of him holding new DE minis in his hand and people would still doubt.

Yeesh.

**Miguelsan**

It´s because the last 3 DE players know that the cake is a lie. GW is never ever ever going to bring back DE

One thing I´m thinking about the probable new stuff is that if the new raider is like in the pictures, storing it safely is going to be a pain in the ass.

Just like the current ones.

Maybe they'll have new detachable bits and collapsible parts...

It's not cake, this time it's pie.

Ya know, I don't doubt the DE line has been re-done. I don't doubt they'll get a release sometime in the future. I just have no confidence in GW actually releasing them. Sorry, but for this DE player, its been long enough.

This is pretty much the boat I'm in. DE are coming 'soon', we know that... We COULD see them this year, but do we really think GW will pass up the delicious opportunity to push back the release and kick DE fans in the groin one last time? We'll find out in a few months...

**Rymafyr**

For me, the DE hold a very particular place in my heart, not only because they were my first army; they were the army I started with my cousin who passed away a few years ago.

I genuinely like some other armies but for me, the mechanics of how DE play and their concept are something I really like. DE make no pretense of who they are. They are trying to survive and are willing to do it by any means necessary. You don't get that with many other armies.

Space Marines come off as self important holier than thou saviors who are really no better than a bunch of thugs supporting a corrupt and disintegrating society. How droll.

You teed it up very high, what else could I do?

I've already offered pics, assuming that I lose and Yakface is agreeable to participating. Those 2 conditions have yet to be satisfied.

At least we'd finally have pictures...

CoolKidRoc over at Warseer posted this rumour/confirmation on the GK and DE release. Being cautious, I'd rather post it here than starting another Grey Knight thread

CoolKidRoc wrote:So while I was up at my local GW I was talking with a Red Shirt and Black Shirt. I purchasing a Inquisitor and the guy asked if I new the Plastics for the GKs were coming out soon. I asked if that was now confirmed and he said Yes. I asked when, and he told me that they had beat out DE for release, but that DE was also confirmed as arriving by Christmas.

Evidently the information comes from a conference out in Las Vegas.

The facts I know from the conversation.

1. Inquisitor Dex will arrive before DE
2. DE by Christmas
3. Inquisitor Dex will be after 8th Ed Fantasy
4. One Codex to contain all Ordo's, Malleous, Xeno, and Heriric
5. Sisters will not be present in the Dex, but will have there own Codex at a later time.
6. Deathwatch/Alien Hunters will be present

Other info based on them not actually getting to see the Codex but talking with the people, sounds like you'll still be able to build a pure GK army, and sounds like it will be more useful. Points Drop on PAGKs, TGKs to stay about the same point cost but be better.

That's about all I know for now, more info to come as I get it.

Grey Knight discussion should be done in this thread, where I also posted this quote:

I'd take the Inquisition thing with a huge bucket of salt. Even GW themselves have stated in the past no combined codex.

Not to mention we've heard more about DE than GK's. I'm still putting money on DE first by or before November and GK's in 2011.

**Luthon1234**

Not that I didnt see it coming but I'd greatly be upset about GKs coming in before DE as they already done a imperium codex.

We've heard more unofficially about DEs, but officially, I think it's about a tie, as both are pretty close to nothing said.

An Inquisition Codex without Sisters probably wouldn't be seen as a combined Codex. If GW has Inquisitors with options to flavor them, with Assassins, GKs, or Deathwatch, depending on the players preference, that's basically a catch-all for all of the super-low-volume stuff that they sell, adding "Heroes of the Imperium" to "Codex: Assassins", with a few new items to round things out: GKPA, DW, and ISTs.

**Fateweaver**

I'm betting DE first between august and november.

If I'm wrong I'll send $5 to you via paypal, if I'm right it's the other way around.

**JohnHwangDD**

2 points:
1. I don't paypal.
2. I've already got a bet underway.

I'll take up a bet xD

We'll get DE next followed by GK ( in terms of 40k releases )

It makes me vewy vewy sad-like.

I see the word confirmed in there twice... Does GW ever confirm anything without any publicity whatsoever? Sounds like a shifty rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me. Like I said before, GW would be considered disloyal to itself if it didn't disappoint its DE fans one last time.

Then I would say: "Hey look, the new Crisis Suits look exactly like my FW Crisis Suits, so no need to buy these."

And then the Tyranids show up.
