That's a "no" for all you non-Templars out there .

Time to sell some marines.

Yeah because that isn't jumping on the bandwagon...

Today the preview Codex, 2 boxes of warriors and a raider box showed up at my FLGS.

Oh yeah, I'm jumping in.

That said, I have no illusions: I played Eldar before and considered them a finesse army, their Dark kin have that in spades.

I'm sure I can look forward to losing plenty of games before I learn the right tactics.

I killl you all with my*i was here first*, Ageless tactics and OLD, HIDEOUS MODELS! AHHAHAHAHA

It's a shame, i spent the last 11 years getting good at them, and only in the last 3 have i gotten good, and now they change them :(

Nah, it'd be good to see some new DE players,

But realy; WHo is here because of
A.) models
B.) they will play awesome.

B, with a little A thrown in. I've been wanting to start Dark Eldar for about a year and a half now, and was just waiting (and hoping) for a new release to hit. Since it is here, I'm in full tilt. I guarantee I will lose about 90% of my games as I learn the army, since my other 40k army is Orks, pretty much the exact opposite in play style (I run mech assault, so some similarities). I bought and played Space wolves, I love the viking-esque fluff of them, but for some reason I'm terrible at playing MEQ armies, granted I only played a handful of games with the space puppies. But since every other person plays them, I think I'll change things up, so bring on the dark ones!

I played Eldar back in 4th as my 2nd army but they felt too.. cheaty.

I will be playing Dark Eldar because I'm sick and perverted in the head.

The dark side of me wants to play and so I'm feeding it

The main reason I have always liked Dark Eldar since they were my first army was.

A: The "muahahahaha" evil of them. They aren't on some revenge trip against some father figure like chaos marines are.
B: Their tactics.

The new models are great to get me more encouraged to field them as my main army again., Which I hadn't done for a few years due to being bored of the terrible models, as well as them being my first fully painted force 8 odd years back. So now seems like as good a time as any to do revamp the army from scratch and do the new models some justice. Plus their play-style seems for the most part unchanged. Good all rounder ranged and combat units with a few heavy hitters in close to mid range. And mobile fire-power and speed.

Already been playing em for like a year and a half now, its awesome they are getting an update. just check out my website on my sig. Should be the first stop the bandwagon takes!

'Eff Dark Eldar, gimme Necrons! Thats the Xenos race I wanna play the update for!

Same here. I already have 1.5k (my first army!) and it'd be nice to go back and look at it afresh.
