No thanks. GW got my Dark Eldar money once before and never again.

Nope.

Spamming dark lances is a challenge that only the finest of tacticians can handle.
Speaking of dark lance spam, I guess that this is a goodbye?

Sarcastic. Ironic would be agreeing with him, and even that'd not be true irony.

DE would be considered models for experience player, who don't mind the effort. So it's not going to happen.

Yeah, of course DE would never be considered for a starter box.

I'm speaking of going forward, of course. Besides, lets see if that ever happens again; DE or any new race for that matter. GW has learned there lesson from that one.

Pretty much the only config a new player can remotely be successful at. Just because a lot people find it the only way play does not mean they are easy army to master.

Satan needs a parka.

You rang Mulady?

This is good news. Can't wait for some pics!

Hallejuah! I feel hope for us Necrons now! I'm glad they aren't dropping the Dark Eldar, all the more eager for Games Day UK now.

Finally My Dark Eldar will have COOL models!!!!!!

thnx for the info. i know a certain friend of mine who will be getting heart attacks over the news.

Yay BDSM space pirate elves!

i saw this and was really excited! maybe DE forums will takeover all the ba and sm lists and forums on dakkadakka!

I think i'm going to need a dump truck to take away the empty sprues from my home come november.

Don't waste; make some good terrain with ground-up sprue as rubble.

don't get me wrong. I love the DE but anyone else feel like this a day late and a dollar short?

WWWWWWAAAAGGHGHGHG< err. i mean for corrmoragh.or something. I am so stoked. May they be the marine killers that they were in the old dex times 10. i May have to sell my nids. smiles.

If theyre somewhat compatible with Eldar then GW will gain money from me!.. If not, they better have no fluff that shows me their not a bunch of spikey 1990s goth space elves

No, I'm not trying to "have a second go", and I'm not trolling. I honestly do feel that the proxy thing is a valid thing, but I won't continue that discussion here (will probably make a thread for it or something.)

Back to my recent post, I do think that the Black Reach box was a good way to get people into the game. I play both IG and Marines (check my sig), but the work needed to put the guard together was honestly pretty annoying. I don't see what's wrong with wanting something that's quick and easy to assemble and play with that still looks good.

Plus, new models are expensive (as I'm sure everyone would agree.) If they did something like the Black Reach box with its' massive savings/discount for Dark Eldar, it'd make collecting the new army a lot easier.

Heroclix is that way =======>

A day late, yes. Whether it comes up short remains to be seen...

What im suprised about, is the fact that its this close the release, and yet no one has seen any pics.

It's the GW marketing strategy. Instead of get everyone all pumped before hand, they just say "surprise, here's a redone 12 year old model range with 15 new kits and a codex".

I don't really mind the old models so I am kind of ambivalent about new stuff. MY most fervent hope is that the codex is redone and not just the model range. I picked up a second hand DE army from ebay so would hope to still be able to use that without having to invest too much further. Knowing GW there will be a whole bunch of spangly new units requiring purchase.

I talked to my redshirt friend yesterday (yes yes, I know, 'redshirts', but I've known him for a while and I trust him) and apparently he saw the new range, though briefly.

I don't know if he'd mind me posting this, but he didn't really make a secret out of it. As he only saw the range very briefly, he wasn't able to remember much as there was too much to see.

What he could tell me was:
- He was really impressed with the quality of the models.
- Thankfully the Dark Eldar have now also lost the top-knots.
- It was hard to describe to overall style, as he couldn't think of a good comparison model/army.
- The Raider will be like the one in the well-know black 'n white picture, including Dark Eldar jumping off and 'sail'.
- Wyches will be both male and female.
- Wyches at least include one head with a blank faceplate (like the Shadowseer).
- The army has a really evil look, including bone-piercings and spikey bits.

I know it's not much, but I think we'll all just have to wait until the pictures of GDUK are back.

Yup, IIRC the hanging passengers, whilst optional, are also compatible with the Ravager kit.

I don't get it: does GW not want my money?

Though that wouldn't really make any sense, being a gunship and all (but may just look cool, perhaps even for a Vect conversion). I am curious though if they include both regular warrior and wyche hanging/jumping models.
