Just to update the guys and girls that are interested, the Black Box for the 2 Dark Eldar releases in June (11th & 24th) is due in stores next Friday 13th May. That's for UK stores anyway, not too sure how the dates for Black Boxes vary with other countries though, maybe someone that knows could elaborate?

Not 100% sure of the contents, however I wouldn't be surprised if it contained the Voidraven, Talos/Chronos and very possibly Scourges.

Will update when I find out for sure.

It better be in there as well or I think I may cry....

It is the backbone of my army and I expected it to be out by now...

‎"The scions of the Dark City would never admit that the unceasing hunger at their core is what drives them to such heights of cruelty. Instead they maintain that they act only upon their own desires. Some have even managed to convince themselves of this. In truth, unless our cousins in the webway feed upon a constant diet of extreme emotion they will slowly wither away, leaving naught but a soulless husk. We of the Craftworlds deny all such urges, and in doing so become less than ourselves. Perhaps it is those that we left to perish who are the lucky ones." - Spiritseer Iyanna Arienal, Meditations.

I Love the look of the new All-Evil, All Unseelie Dark Eldar, but i've been holding off on buying until the haemonculus stuff comes out. I want to indulge my mad scientist side (in a different way from my mekboy/painboy side )


Voidravens are my anti-vehicular punch, so i'm really hoping on them looking awesome

GW isn't removing all metals completely, just a fair bit of older/underused stock.

Their main hatred is for plastic/metal hybrids - see thousand sons and noise marines - I expect these to go all plastic and/or all metal.

There was a pretty huge list before, with things including the new Beastmaster stuff.

I hope the Models are awesome, it may be the tipping point for me getting this army. I've been practicing on Vassal lol.

I don't know (nor really care) if they're removing metal or not, but I suspect they are and are nonetheless not releasing any metal miniatures of late; I mean they've pulled very recent metal models (such as the BA's and DE) and they didn't release any alongside the Tomb Kings, so I wonder whether we'll see any characters/blisters released here as the DE are missing much of their HQ line-up it seems...

With many store owners making it clear that the things weren't going away. GW's reshuffling the stock codes for some stuff.

We rarely saw metals in the black boxes anyways.

Sounds cool. Venom would be great, but I can keep using dreadnoughts if they aren't in there Scourges would be great too. I'm hoping for female torsos in there, since flying chicks with shardcarbines sounds quite exciting.

If Scourges look anything like what the art in the codex suggests, I pledge to buy 2 dozen of them. Because damn.

And they HAVE to be in plastic, otherwise giving them all their available weapon upgrades will be a MASSIVE pain.

Ditto on that sentiment. If we don't get a venom model during this release, I'm going to have to break down and buy a bunch of vypers. I really didn't want it to come down to that. I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever comes though. I'd love to have a wrack/grotesque/talos army.
