new eldar corsairs with heavy weapons

**Just Dave**

That's pretty cool.

**BrookM**

Perhaps more importantly:

**Just Dave**

I'm not sure I like the idea of your standard Eldar CARRYING a Heavy Weapon (like a Space Marine; they should use platforms as they do all ready IMHO), but they certainly look really good.

nah i think those look miscast and ugly

**Gorechild**

They look pretty sweet, shame there isn't really anything you could use tham as a "counts as" in the codex.

**AvatarForm**

LOL... Eldar guardian sprue with Dark Reaper heavy weapons and dragonfly wings?

You have got to be kidding?

Seriously, the only reason Dark Reapers can tote heavies is due to their armour incorporating anti-grav suspensors... not to mention the targeting systems in their helms.

How are these guys gonna hit anything?

**His Master's Voice**

They have anti grav wings on their backs, right?

**Smitty0305**

so what the hell is a dark reapers/guardian's purpose?

O wait, I already have those models, and im supposed to buy more!

If "corsairs" come out in the new eldar codex whenever it comes out , I will not be pleased.

**Leorage**

Any idea about what is the weapon on the left ? The 3 other are well known
look like flamer or stuf like that, maybe lance weapon ?

**Just Dave**

It's a flamer.

**H.B.M.C.**

Given they appear to be a more mobile force that doesn't have time to set up heavy weapon platforms, the man-portable heavy weapons make sense to me.

And I have to say, after the astonishingly good shoulder pads that come with Sevin Loth's Command Squad... the Sallie pads are a big let down.

**Leorage**

It's a flamer.

ok thx, is there other fig with this weapon in the eldar range ?i never seen it before.

eldar storm guardian come with one of them

**Banesword**

Well, the Dark Eldar can already carry their Lances like this.

Isnt the platform more for the move and fire anyways?

**Mizeran**

But no Astral Claws shoulder pads, buhu :(

**lord_blackfang**

This is pretty awesome for Necromunda and the like.

Fire Dragon Exarch should never leave home without it.

**Garuss Acine**

Must find a way to get just the missile launchers for conversions! Hopefully bit service websites will have them soon. let the Nerd Rage begin, oh yes Long Fang count as Marines with EMLs

**Scottywan82**

Actually, this would be an awesome basis for an Ulthwe Guardian force that could still have "Aspect Warriors" but dressed-as-guardians. Would look fluffy and cool on the tabletop.

Hawks, Dragons, Reapers, even some scorpions or banshees with the sword/pistol plus those masks.

hmmm... I can hear my wallet screaming.

**Ketara**

Counts As Scourges?

**Scottywan82**

lol, Barely a month before we get the official ones?

From a purely personal point of view (I have 6k of Salamanders) I will agree with you.. What is off about them (besides the bad official photo and prep), I cant put my finger on it..

**Gitsplitta**

Definitely don't like the Eldar models. Shame that. Yet another bunch of eldar guys in exactly the same pose *yawn*.

Really crappy paint job on the shoulder pads... but there's something off with the shape of the heads maybe?

**warpcrafter**

Those antigrav widgets on their backs look like plain ole' plasticard. Not impressed at all.

**wuestenfux**

Strange, they carry flamer, shuricannon, fusion gun, and eml.
No rules out there so far.

The shoulder pad in the top right corner looks like it's chipped on it's bottom edge. the rest of it could be the paint...

On the topic of the Eldar kit, it looks cool, even if I have no use for them.

**Kanluwen**

Thing that throws it off in the painted example, at least for me, is that the 'brow' of the drake head is so damned thin.

You don't even really notice it's there, it looks like it's a stray paintbrush mark.

**MIKEtheMERCILESS**

Oh common, what are the rules already?? I don't see many buying these models without knowing how to use them, or even whether they'll actually be any good...

Though I am loving this Eldar love FW is giving...
