looks like a fire prism to me with the turret pointing towards the camera



darn beaten to it XD

Yep, definately getting a knight now, thank you Dakka, I couldnt have been persuaded without you.

Im scared of that thing.

No, it's a Fire Prism. If you look carefully you can spot the prism part.

Damn they are big!

Wraith knight still looks terrible, but the new flyers actually fit Eldar aesthetic. Surprising.

Is it just me or did they just put a apoc sized kit in the eldar army?

No, it's the current Fire Prism.

I don't see why there is so much optimism about stuff coming in a wave 2, that release format seems to have been abandoned. There hasn't been a wave 2 for Chaos, DA, or Tau, i.e. all the new releases. I think from now on we should expect to just see a single, limited wave of models on codex release.

For now at least. Eventually all the codices will be updated(If that is what they're doing), and then they may start updating older sculpts.

On a long enough timeline, I'm sure everything will get updated. Not really relevant though if you're talking about the 10th edition Eldar Codex.

I'm overall disappointed.

The new farseer is beautiful, and Illic is a great, great sculpt. But the rest is underwhelming.

The Flyer looks stubby, the wrathknight is impressive but a little childish in design and the chest is ridiculous.

The spirit seer looks out of proportion in a Rogue Trader era kind of way. Really un-dynamic.

I do like the Wraithguard/blades but they could be a little more dynamic.

I think the elegance and mysteriousness of the Eldar seems to have been drained a little, except for the farseer and illic.

Perhaps i built it up in my head too much.

What i meant was, I'm assuming that they may update all the codices during 6th edition, and then release new kits such as new banshees or stormboys(or whatever) after that. That's conjecture mind, don't bother adding me to the rumor-tracker.

Will the Wraithking be elite like the Riptide or HS as the Dreadknight,
and will the flyers be FA as the Tau flyers and the GK Stormraven?

Anyone seen the weapons page leak yet? ( if there is one..)

Everything we know is posted here.

Oh Snap Son!
After years of my personal Boycott. I feel I must come down from the mountain and buy some of this if not anything but to convert and paint….
These are the most intriguing models done by GW in years….
Illic Nightspear=Sold, CC Wraithguard=Sold
I can customize Wraithguard into dynamic poses with Melee or Range weapons…. Oh My! Razors, jewelers saw, greenstuff at the ready.
Damn GW…
Question… what ever happened to the warpspiders redone? Pure rumor?

That's not really much but is in accordance with GW's policy of desinformation.

See, I think that's almost certainly the plan. Rip through most of the codicies to get them updated, then focus on supplements and campaign books that'll allow them to do additional waves for multiple armies, PP-style.

I'm a little disappointed that there won't be new jetbikes because I'd like to use them for conversion work. But the minis we're getting look good. No complaints here. I really like the flyers...they may have traded some "sleekness" for more "badass" but I'm fine with that.

We have a fair amount of WD pages in the first post. And I think it is more accurate to call it a policy of silence than disinformation.

You're right about the disinformation if you want a more positive term for it.

I dont think spiders are getting anything on the model front.

The aircraft.... Horrible. May be in contention for worst design yet, next to the SM chickenhawk.

I was going to ask if they even consult engineers before they build these things, but it's obvious now that they don't.

I think that is just the fire prism

Never-mind stupid work computer lag, dam glad I'm done my guard and going to work on Eldar because with those rumored prices I'd not be able to afford collecting both at the same time.

anyone notice yet that the wraith knight is a fully posable amd movable ACTION FIGURE?!?!?

check out the different pictures, the head, arms, hands, and legs all move!!!

The first pic we saw the hand is open, the one with the dual lances the fists are closed!! eaqch wraith knight in the iyaden is posed in a different stance with the head in a different direction.

I think that bad boy is looking to be worth the dollars!!!!

"I love the Wraithknight, hate the new flyer."

"I hate the Wraithknight, love the new flyer."

Perhaps for fun someone could count the number of these contrary posts in this thread.

The Riptide is also incredibly dynamic and flexible in possible poses if the pins in the joints are removed as suggested in the directions. A great new trend from GW on the larger kits.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!! the picts only started showing up on page 40ish so its only 30 pages to download.

Am I the only person who wants to mod one of the knights to be kicking a demon of slaanesh or a hive tyrant in the chest THIS IS SPARTA style?

I don't think it's as bad as any of the Space Marine flyers, but yeah, it is a big disappointment for me. The two major problems I have with it, they didn't make it long and sleek like existing Eldar flyers, which is one of the things I like about existing Eldar flyers. Secondly, what's the deal with the stupid arse gunpods? If it weren't for the gunpods, I might think it could actually possibly fly, but the gunpods just ruin it for me.

I love everything, except the prices. Good lord...
