That looks pretty awesome.

Damn it.

**ashikenshin**

I don't like the pose, he looks as if he is saying: SURPRISE!!

**Scottywan82**

Archangel, Liquifier, flesh gauntlet. Wow.

**Samus_aran115**

Oh lawdy. That haemonculi is horrendous. He's supposed to have Gnarlskin, not kabalite/wych armour. Why would anyone give him so many weapons, also? Terribad.

**Bloodhorror**

honestly, i'm not a big fan...

**Ascalam**

*shrug*

Mine are going to be converted the hades out of anyway, so it's no skin off my nose that the model isn't too hot. Having the fun weapon arms will be handy though

**MagickalMemories**

I don't like that haemon at all. Not one bit. It's extrememly boring. They could've done so much more with it.

The Haemonculous looks a bit weak. The proportions are off(especially compared to the plastic DE), and the pose is rather uninspired. One of the few models so far in the DE range that isn't better than the codex artwork. I liked the comment from Eldaraddict describing its weapons: "it could be a super soaker, large dog treat, 'We're number 1' foam finger, and a box of chocolates."

**Ysclyth**

I thought that tiny little pick had extra set of arms. Anyway I think it looks fine. I will reserve full judgement until I see the kit. Anyway its much better than the old one thats for sure.

**Kanluwen**

First thought:

Who let Gary Morley sculpt a Dark Eldar?

**reds8n**

GW's what's new today blurb features Mr. Kelly's Dark Eldar army, among the shots is this one which gives a ncie size comparison for the venom.

**Bloodhorror**

About the Size i'd expected...

Nice looking model there though

But still not Spiky enough >.<

I may just raid a raider Sprue for those Hull Spike and slap them onto the Venom.>

Why do all the Haemis have to fly?

Because they're ancient, frail and lazy as hell.

They also like their tech and like to show it off.

This is from the GW Whats New Today, Spoken by Phil Kelly

"I've already started to make room for a Razorwing Jetfighter in my force; those things are just too cool, and make for a great centrepiece. Hopefully I'll be back to show off the next batch sooner rather than later!"

**Scottywan82**

I think he means batch of his painted figures.

eww that sword looks AWFUL
is that what a liquifier is supposed to look like? I thought they looked more like the old destructor(which did the same thing) long slender and cool.
cant say I am a huge fan

I really like the long slender old one.

The fat female one is terribad

Yeah, thats the one im talking about. I guess the one with with the outstretched gun arm isnt that bad. I still think this new one will be an improvement to both. And considering an army can have up to 6 haemies. Im sure we will get plenty of options for them.

But yeah, that liquifier is a little disapointing. Looks like a toy raygun from the 60's

**DarthSpader**

that haemy looks like fail. compared to the other DE models wich are pure gold eye candy, this looks like it fell off the ugly tree and got beaten with every branch it on the way down. hopefully its not the actual model but a test or conversion of some kind.

**Archonate**

Strange responses... Most of you seem to feel toward the new homunculus, the very same way I feel toward Urien Rakarth.
I think the new homunculus looks a damn sight better than Urien. At least he doesn't have a dopey skin-mask and... I could go on and on and on about why I hate the new Urien. If I play with Urien, he'll be converted from this new Homunculus...

**The Fragile Breath**

I actually really, really like the new Haemunculus. Also, Kelly's army... I want to steal that paint scheme.

**Mar**

I didn't like the look of Haemonculi in the codex and the like. That does not mean they are bad just not to my tastes, these models represent the stuff I have read within the codex and elsewhere which I think is good.

- SURPRISE!! I'm melting the flesh from your bones!

- SURPRISE!! I'm whipping you with your own spinal cord!

- SURPRISE!! I'm making your organs explode inside your body.

Sounds like a Haemonculi to me.

**Mar**

When I hear SURPRISE I always envisioned happy surprises... till now...

**Gorechild**

Well the Haemy is the most dissapointing DE model to date, its a real shame. Looks like it's sculpted by the same guy that did the beastmaster, only this time its not easy to convert something else to use in its place

Unless the Wrack models will be a good basis for conversion, it looks like we're stuck with.

**Mar**

Well I imagine the Wracks will be like infantry sized talos/chronos look a likes. That Haemonculi is exactly like the picture in the book for them on their page if you look so I am unsure its the guys fault for making him that way, its almost even the same pose.

**Gorechild**

I don't really have a problem with the pose, it's similar. The pic in the codex doesn't look like its being crucified though, imo the model does

I just think the quality of the sculpt just isn't up to the same standard as the rest of the range. In same way as the beast master doesn't look as good as the hellions, I don't think the Haemy looks as good as the other HQ's. ymmv

**Agamemnon2**

I hope the Haemonculi has loose arms, that would at least lessen the annoyance factor ever so slightly.
