Decision-making in Vegas.... Sounds like an awesome plan... So many great decisions are made in Vegas... But what happened to "what goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas"?

Well the Dark Eldar aren't out yet, are they?

**warboss**

maybe the dark eldar decided to stay in vegas... it does sound like their sort of town. those puritanical grey knights apparently decided to high-tail it out of sin city.

**dietrich**

I hope Dark Eldar are out soon, just to shut Johnny up.

The Grey Knights packed up and went northeast, to Utah.

A Grey Knights codex won't need a whole lot of boxes or sprues. One Grey Knight box, one arbites/stormtrooper box, an upgrade sprue for Deathwatch (if they are even in there), and maybe a box of terminators, and you're done.

That would keep the 40K folks happy without stepping on fantasy sales at all. Then by Christmas, when the initial Fantasy fuss has died down, they can release the entirely new line of Dark Eldar. The size of the line is probably the reason they are delaying it till Christmas, so it's not competing with their Fantasy promotion.

This makes sense to me. I would prefer DE sooner, rather than later, so that I could collect, model, paint, and get some games in before next year's pre-'Ard Boyz tournament run, but whatever. Personally, I don't know many folks who are that interested in GK, but we'll see if folks jump to them when the codex gets released. Frankly, this tight-lipped policy by GW creates more harm than good, especially since they are pulling Inquisition and DE products off the shelves anyway, so there are really no sales to lose.

BolS said something about Dark Eldar being pushed back to Q1 2011.
I'm looking forward to the Stormraven, but that would still suck a lot. Spikey Elves really need it as well.

**Fateweaver**

BolS makes 95% of their gak up or take it out of context from other sites.

Money is still on DE after WHFB but before GK's and Inquis.

Well, I made my decision. I had 150+ bucks from my birthday since March and have been holding onto it just in case DE were released soon.

Bought my new Verizon Droid this week w/ that money...GW can go #$%@ themselves...

I'm trying not to resign hope until we have official word...
But at the same time, I know GW well enough to know that, as a DE player, I should brace myself for disappointment once again as, despite all the recent hype being the perfect time to announce DE, GW releases a 4th consecutive imperial army.

If that ends up being the case, GW can indeed go #$%@ themselves...

On the bright side.. the droid is a very useful device!

Yep, loving it

Honestly, it doesn't matter if DE were released in August like everyone has been saying...I wouldn't have time to paint anything new anyways.

**Brother SRM**

As if time has ever stopped a good Warham from buying more toys!

I hate you.

For being right...

**ProfitOfTheWaaagh!!!**

I was talking to a GW Store manager and "apparently" he was not aware of the Grey Knight codex being removed from the GW website. He also stated that he had received an email regarding the release of Dark Eldar and Necrons. He told me that DE were due in 3 months.

I took this with a huge gigantic chunk of salt.

**Fateweaver**

I believe DE Rumor more than I do the GK rumor or Inquisition rumor. 3 months does put it at August. A tight schedule with WHFB for sure but not impossible.
