A retailer is supposed to get a WINDRIDER JETBIKE SQUADRON in addition to your list.
There was a random quote from a few pages back that said that these were simply the old version repackaged

Nope. But maybe the windrider squad is rare so the place i got my info wont have them.

I'm sorry, I could have sworn you just said "no more giant robots".
Good thing you didn't because otherwise I would have to kill you.

If the walker is a big as they say then the price sounds about right. As has been the trend nothing new seems mandatory sans helldrake. Even then trip drakes doesnt get first fromvwhat i have seen.
Will be interesting to see the rules and the wraithguard kit.
People who stopped buying GW but wont stop bitching about it are the vegans of warhammer
Did anyone consider that the supplement release might mean Black Templars coming out with the next Space Marine dex? And possibly even crazier things like White Scars, Salamanders or even Mantis Warriors?

Its a name that really does not carry over well to what they do sadly. Fire Dragons, perfect for something that uses flamers and melta. Crimson Hunter...for something that flys around shooting stuff from a jet, not so much. If you had told me to imagine Crimson hunter as an aspect I would have thought of some violent/bloody melee unit, maybe with stealth. I guess that's already covered by scorpions, but still. Not what I imagine for crimson hunters.

Big as they say? 9 inches? I don't care how tall it is. I want to know how many sprues it's on.
As I've said before: Ork Stompa is 16 full sprues of plastic for $116.
If this new Eldar fanwank model is on 16 sprues than I'd say "alright, I can see that price tag"
but if its in the 3 sprue range than I'll just make fun of the kids who wasted money that could have been better spent on a year subscription to XBox live and a large pizza.

It actually sounds like more of a Eldar Corsair group, but I agree, it's a little unorthodox. It's still a nice creative change from the typical Verbing Nouns all over the place.
"Crimson" may just be a reference to their Aspect color whereas "Hunter" could be the fact that they all fly interceptor fighters and their objective is to destroy other aircraft. Then again, all aspects tend to have a weapon that is iconic to them. Maybe these Crimson Hunters will have some Crimson Brightlance that fires red pewpew or something. Either way, there is hope for creative juices to still flow out of GW.

Maybe they have some holofields that makes them invisible until striking(fluffwise), i can imagine an eldar fighter hiding in clouds until it's right moment to strike.

The one time I'd be happy with them plagerising FW, GW simply muck it up instead.
I just keep hoping that if I close my eyes hard enough the next time I open them it will look like a mini phantom.
Maybe it will look better in person but i'm not hopeful.
I don't think the glossy pages photos or the somewhat flat studio paintjob is helping it. It actually looks nicely sculpted, and I reckon we need to actually have the model in our hands before we can judge it. Look at the Heldrake; everybody was bitching about "ZOMG DINOBOTS!" but now the hype has calmed down and some people have given it really good paintjobs the general opinion of it has softened.

Oh god I really hope holofields are good again. Its been sucky having worthless vehicle upgrades since 6th.

You're right, I was slightly off with my conversion rate. It's $115 for our dear American friends. Enjoy, you just saved 5 bucks off your $120 purchase!

Guardians are the 10-man minimum squad. Dire Avengers can be taken in a 50man squad. Space Marines can Combat Squad into 5-man teams, but they're still taken in multiples of 10.
Derp? Dire Avengers squad can't be any bigger than 10 and Guardians max out at 20. My point is that the current boxed set of Guardians gets you a full troops choice. Repackaging it into 5 for about the same price is stupid.
Plus, back in 5thEd when Troops could score in transports, the Wave Serpent with the DA "upgrade" was rather common.
How is this even relevant to the boxed set size?
Where are people getting this from? Dire Avengers come in a 10-model box and will surely continue to come in a 10-model box.
Check the first page of the thread. The DA boxed set is repackaged from 10 to 5. Which is stupid.

How does one save $5 on something that never cost $120?
