Ok hating done this stuff looks great and for really makes me want to play Dark Eldar.

you realize some of us DE players started at the beginning of 3rd edition and didnt get any models or even a codex update for 12 years right. Totally forgotten.

Dude we are in the same boat. I remmber when the old SW codex came out in 2000. Hell we still got 2nd Ed guys. and I think the next time we will get a new codex in 6-7 years.

But still love these guys.

Love the new stuff, but very disappointed in the lack of Wracks. Guess it's time to turn some old warriors into counts-as or something :/

The cronos and talos are.... INSANELY AWESOME! Want!

Looking at the sprues I can see 5 Shard Carbines? That should make a lot of people very happy.

Which really just makes you wonder what the hell happened with some of their recent releases.

Cuz it got the Ward Treatment... which means flying dreadnaughts and matrix rehashes. Oh, need I mention the infantry sized daemon prince on steroids?

In the interest of not turning this into a GK, BA or Ward-bashing thread (however much I'd like to do all three of those things), I do have a serious question related to model design:

Who designed the current GK range?

And what sculptors besides Jes did the new DE range (I'm pretty sure Juan did some of the metals)?

It's okay. Almost every thread should turn into a GK, BA, or Ward-bashing thread. We must look out for our hobby.

I don't have the Grey Knights White Dwarf issue with me in work, so someone else will have to confirm it, but i'm pretty sure that Jes did the major concept design for the Dreadknight, before someone else knocked the actual kit up.

Even more enraging: Only 1 of each non-shardcarbine option!

Both suck a lot. At least they are good looking, not too expensive, and sprues have 5 carbines.

WAAAAAGH!!! can't wait....need all of it for my wych/heamonculus army....

Aha! Now they combined the Talos and Cronos entry into one.

The models are absolutely great.

How about Wracks?

Dont worry, apparently there's still another subwave release a bit later.

Another subwave? Didn't realize this.

Hey, the stormraven gets a solid "okay" in my book. The dreadknight however...well you can always recycle plastic, so it has that going for it.

And to answer your question, because Jes is only one man and he can't sculpt every model himself. Even though we really, really want him to.

And to answer your other question: Jes Goodwin, Tom Walton, Alex Hedstrom, Juan Diaz, Oliver Norman, Aly Morrison.

Also, seems all the people who said the talos/cronos wouldn't be a combined kit because the cronos would be too small (since it's called a "parasite" engine and obviously that means tiny) were wrong.

Since when has parasite meant tiny? It just means it sits on the couch all day eating tater chips while the roomy does stuff.

Just looked back through the 10 pages, so sorry if I missed it:

Does anyone know when these advance orders are shipping?

I love those scourges...best models I've ever seen. They make my craftworlders have very painful blue-balls to be redone
The hawks and banshees look like the fat girl who didn't get a date to the prom compared to all the wonderful DE.

Think you're suffering from a case of new model rapture here. Certainly the most recent Banshee sculpts stand up fairly well IMHO.

Website says they'll be released June 4th.

Sweet, just looked at the scourge sprues. A twin-tailed agonizer and what finally appears to be a venom blade, judging from the capillaries on the side.

They're alright, they just.....well I'd most likely just get scourges and wych bits and make my own banshees, much sleeker

Don't get me wrong, I still like the banshees and all Eldar for that matter. Dark Eldar just make the entire CW Eldar infantry line cry themselves to sleep at night....in a good way. Eldar will look fantastic once they're eventually redone.

OT: I can't wait to see wracks, those are going to be amazing. I'm having a very hard time not buying up all the DE I can

It's the chunky Aspect armour you see. They're sensual little minxes when the bodysuits come off.

The Chronos parasite engine is another model I really want to convert for my Nurgle army.

Why do people think SW need a 2nd wave? The only model that isn't supported is the TWC IMHO and apparently they're on their way...

*sigh* Indeed lol

Reports on Warseer are that the Razorwing will only be £25.50. Excellent, i'll take 2 (from Wayland Games )

Valkyrie prized, not £25.50.

Sweet googly moogly... just saw the pics in my inbox this morning, these DE releases are top notch.
