Its for sure either Shadow Elves or DE, no one else has those wrist guards and that tassel is more akin to DE anyways. Shadow Elves blades also don't look like that (at least current ones), i'm guessing DE. My Guess is just more plastic resculpts, this time Lelith.

Do we really need a lilith resculpt? Gw give us new units or even just heroes on bikes or with wings or anything at all. Eldar have like 3 different fast movement options for their autarch. Just give us something with different weapon options at least even if its a resculpt.
In fact eldar have warp spiders? Why do most dark eldar have worse warp travel methods than craftworld? Shouldn't dark eldar either have the best or 2nd best (behind harlies)?

Absolutely. Finescast models need to go. Just like Incubi, also plastic Lelith, Urien, Mandrakes, Beasts, Court, Grots, etc... are needed.
Generally speaking I always prefer resculpts than new units, because new units have the bad habit to outperform or even invalidate older collections, but I see your point about limited HQ options and I agree that some new HQ/character would be awesome.
Not as urgently as Mandrakes and Grots, but I wonder if a new sculpt would come with a 'Lelith Hesperax as a Ynnari' rules update.

Is this a good thing or not? I can't help but think not. I'm imagining a Shredder in a Venom being unable to fire because the boat is locked in close combat.

In former editions, shredders have always been blast weapon. So no surprise.

We're looking at a preview of Vect, who has realised the error of his ways and is now a special character for Space Marines.

Agreed.
Unfortunately, GW are far too busy vomiting Primaris Marines out of every orifice to throw us a bone on that front.

You're not. If you're worried about your opponent using 'fake' rules, you're having fun the wrong way. This hobby isn't about rules. It's about buying Citadel miniatures.
Please report to your nearest GW store for attitude readjustment. Take your wallet.
I would love an Archon on a jetbike.....I wouldn't even care if GW didn't actually release a model, but just provided a datasheet. It would be great to kitbash using Reaver stuff. Never gonna happen obvs.

Legend models are so-so, as you don't know if you can use it in a tourney.

Didn't even consider Legends....
Perhaps Archons can beg/steal/borrow a jetbike as a reward from the Crusade campaign?

I too would love characters on jetbikes, skyboards, wings, etc etc... or being able to fit in a raider with another unit... or having options... and having bodyguard rules work the same across all factions instead of throw a dart on which bodyguard rule a unit will have...
