Just saw this while googlebating around at work:

I really like it, and I hope it makes production. Everything about it screams speed compared to the current model. I especailly love the large engine at the back that recalls the falcon.

I wonder how hard that would be to convert from a standard jetbike and a DE jetbike....

Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack

I've basically got my Eldar on hold till I know whether and when those come out.

Yeah, the main body of it looks a lot like a Reaver with the front of a standard jetbike.

The rider's proportions (or perhaps just pose) seem off to me. Is it just me or does he look like a child?

All eldar look like skinny teenagers, it's part of the idea.

Yeah, but that wee bugger looks like he's 12-13. I think the head is too big.

once I get back to the states I am going to try and model a couple of these up. I am going to start by re-posing a guardian, on a standard bike (move the handlebars around?) Attach some stuff to make a comparable rocket pack, and trim up the canopy. I'll post when I see what I've got.
