You saw the Tyranid FAQ? Yes, yes they are . Kinda strange given how they synergized so well with 4th Edition.

streamdragon wrote:I'd have gladly waited 10+ years, as the last Dex was good and the new one is... well, not so good.

The last dex was great...for 4rth edition (if a bit one-dimensional). It was really bad for 5th. The new dex is a big step up for 5th.

As for the Dark Eldar Models for Wave 2.5/3 (they recently got 5 metal models), I hope that the aethstetics of the models stay in line with the first release. I even felt that the recent metal models for the DE (except for the birds) were pretty cool. I haven't been so keen on the GK models just released.

I am hoping so much its the Voidraven Bomber and Haemonculi!

The Beastmaster and the Succubus are not still in the shops (in Spain at least). It would be an uncommon announcement by GW showing that they have a new wave of stuff ready when the previous one isn't still being sold.

Ok, this arcticle doesn't show pics of future waves, but since this is some kind of "yep, we're working on more DE stuff"... it's ok for me.

"We haven't forget DE again... yet!"

Im sorry, but i prefer my 115 point fex's, dont care if i cant take 9
Also, i have my harpy anyway *pokes gallery*
Cost £36 in parts, and has yet to do anything buy fail.


Back OT: Hoping to get some new goodies soon.
Venom isnt an issue as i wont be using them.

Void's would be nice, but if not im happy to steal an eldar version from FW.

Just started building 5 grotesques from rat ogres, so again, i dont need those.

also built 20 wracks from a mix of plague monk and ghoul parts lol.


However, would be nice to get some cheap plastic kits, rather than having to buy £30 worth of kits for a single 10 man unit. (or alot more in the case of the grotes.)

These are never coming out.

Too may other companies have made too much money jumping GW's IP with their own versions.

GW's logical response: scrap any plans for an official release and write them out of the next SW dex.

I'd put money on it...

I'd be inclined to agree. Especially if they hadn't got the molds started.

Also, when Arachnarok was announced/released did anyone else think 'wow, a tervigon conversion kit!'. What with the giant spider being on a completely seperate sprue. Hopefully we'll actually get a proper model, but you never know. I think the conversion is easy enough with existing kits. It just boils down to cost I guess.

Also, when Arachnarok was announced/released did anyone else think 'wow, a tervigon conversion kit!'

...yeah, I think everyone did. I saw more people talking about putting it in their 'nid army than buying it for Orcs.

Wanton and cruel in a way that even the most depraved mind could not hope to comprehend, the Dark Eldar are the epitome of cruelty and malice

Do you guys have no editors? Is no one double checking your copy?

lol, All of their work is edited by Forgeworld staff writ--uh copy/pasters.

Edited by FW after being written by Matt Ward.

Marriage made in heaven!

That sounds evil in a way that even the most evil mind could not hope to comprehend, such an arrangement would be the epitome of evil evil.

Evil evil?

Would that be double evil?

So intense man...

I love how everyone is talking about new Dark Eldar in here

More like grimdark eldar, amirite?

Yeah, the article is a little un-climactic, but hey, you DE players are finally getting you're love, so I say buck up and just appreciate that.

That's what I'm thinking. Is it impossible to want a Trueborn kit? No way I can caniballize all those warrior kits to get SCs. Not to mention there isn't a single Shardcarbine in the range, depsite being a prominant weapon. I could see them doing one, to be honest.

Naa, i don't think that will come. As soon as the scourges come out, well have Shardcarbines. and for each special or heavy weapon we take, we have one Shardcarbine over....
not saying it wouldn't be awesome if it would come out.

Im really excited about the next wave. Im getting the succubi and a few other things on saturday(release day) and i guess i will have plenty of ways to convert it....

To all those, who are waiting on their stuff, i know how it feels and i know that i'm lucky enough its not me waiting.

then again, if your lucky enough to be irish, your lucky enough ;-)

It's actually bi-evil.

So it is evil, except that one time in college?

Well if GW didn't constantly spout out cryptic gak non-news that tell their customers precisely nothing we'd probably have something to actually discuss rather than GW spewing out more non-news and their childish attitude of "We know something you don't know! LULZ!"

Cerebrium wrote:Except it's not. It's basically saying "We're doing the haemonculi-related stuff now. Watch this space for big announcements later!"

except that "news" doesn't say anything about haemonculi-related stuff. and it just mention already released new models, and picture of already released in last year Urien.

And people can't even use the usual excuse that they don't want to undermine sales of the previous kits, since those previous kits either don't exist or are OOP.

Well, there is a lot of sense to this marketing wise, if you care to think.

1. It directs traffic to ]theirwebsite.
2. It gets people signed up to their newsletter.
3. Arguably (okay this could be fairly tenuous) it stops scrotey knock offs being hastily sculpted by those wanting to offer, now how is it put? Ah yes.... 'competition'. Specifcally those looking to provide competition that can't be arsed to have something actually resembling an original idea or design...

But no, of course. Online scrotes know all marketing tricks, which is why the are online scrotes and not market leaders in their chosen industry. It wouldn't be fair to put their slapdash snap judgements into the market. It would give one side a massive advantage, leading to less 'competition'

Damn them and their original ideas. Damn them all to hell.

Lacking any actual coherent points, Mad Dok Mystery resorts to personal insutls against those that would dare question the will of the Mighty Games Workshop.

This is the internets, brah. I'm reasonably sure you have no freaking idea what these "online scrotes" do or what their credentials are, or that they, in fact, are not market leaders blah blah. Just because they aren't flashing their MBA's from Harvard around doesn't mean they don't exist.

Did anyone else notice that on the "What's New Today" the Succubus concept art "confirms" plastic Scourges?

The second note on the bottom of the picture: "Should take range of plastic arms from Wyches, Warriors, and Scourges".

Sorry if it was obvious beforehand, it just makes me happy to have plastic Scourges confirmed.

Plastic Scourges is indeed good news, hopefully they are out soon.

Good eye! Here's the image for those who don't feel like finding it. It's the second bullet point on the bottom list:

Wow, excellent eye and deduction! I read that, but it didn't click in my head that it meant plastic Scourges.

Awesome!
