That picture really hit the size of the new Knight home for me, and pretty much guaranteed I'll be eating less the rest of the month to get one.

I want one and I barely have an eldar army. Just to see your opponent's face when you place it on the table.

Your opponent would be like "It's so big!"
I'm going to get one regardless of rules, I'll just use it for the ermahgerd factor, then all of my squishies can be safe in the knowledge that that big knight is their knight in exploding armour.

I kinda want an eldar army now.... but the prices... gah hopefully wraiths are fairly expensive points-wise...

Barely is still more than I have, but that beast is making a ghost army look enticing. At the very least that looks like a good month worth of painting I'll enjoy

Jetbikes are a serious let down.

I didn't think I'd ever say this, but the Wraith Knight is downright too big. That is a titan size, no place for it in standard 40k.

feth it, guess im either running a double force org chart with 2 knights now or dropping a wraithlord and taking a knight instead for smaller games.

I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned before but I think it's kind of silly they added CC options for the wraithguard. Sure they look awesome but it's not like eldar had a shortage of dedicated CC units. Why didn't they expand on the banshees, scrops or harlies instead?

Incidentally, that cloak of the laughing God wargear sounded pretty nifty. However, seeing as you're forcing your autach/farseer to go solo they'd better have access to some other neat gear that makes them a little more killy than they are now.

Good times, good times...

Does anyone have news if the wave serpents will be assault vehicles?

It gives the craftworlds without excess population to throw into close combat an option.

Links to what seems like Codex Images here:

Dark Reapers and Warp Spiders are confirmed in!

And there are psychic powers!
https://boards.4chan.org/tg/res/24969110#p24971144

That's pretty much it. What's even odder is that the first image looks like it comes from an uncut printing.

Probably because they could, and they were making a Wraithguard box anyways?

gah hopefully wraiths are fairly expensive points-wise...

Old ones are just shy of termie price, so they are fairly heavy ish.
Lords are 120-160 ish.
Knight is said to be from 250-350 ish.

So pretty heavy on points, if its like it is now, you need 10 wraithguard + a spiritseer to be a troops choice, so 400 ish points.

Those are from the WD.

The first image certainly is not. It has statlines and everything; it looks like an uncut printing of the codex.

Second one, yeah, it's WD. Wanted to stay safe considering it has game rules on it.

What in the...
Illic's gun "harnesses the power of a long-dead Eldar hero to tear open warp-holes in the enemy."

Oh dear God, that just makes me want him MORE!

Still cannot tell though if he is an HQ or a unit choice. The wording makes me think he's an upgrade to a unit of Pathfinders rather than plain Rangers.

The first one is from the WD. The WD has some shots from the codex.

edit: Also, stop making me go to 4chan. :(

lord 120-160 ish ?

thats a 30 point increase and probably with a tougness nerf.

As a side note; i really hope that wraithknight and other wraiths ahve 2+ armor now.

at T6 a 2+ is unlikely for WG, especially with the supposed point reduction.

So this is the Carnifex of the Eldar codex? Oh joys, at least I don't have any wraithlords like I did carnifexes.

Grr... Delayed double post. The worst of the worst.

pizza, please read my post mate, i said i was going off current points cost (except the knight)
And 120-160 ish was to allow for how people kitted them.

Relax, i dont know the new cost, but ill assume if it drops in T, it should either get a 2+ or a cost drop.

I'm liking that the Executioner power is back. Awesome.

I can't see any justifiable reason they would drop a WL toughness to 6. That makes it a larger, singular Wraithguard. Unless they dropped the points for it significantly, I don't see it happening.

Of course, this is my hope. We are talking about GW, and this is them bringing in an exorbitantly priced, continent-crushing MC, so I guess it's possible, regardless of how much sense it actually makes.

Oh, i thought you quoted someone, never mind my ranting then. Although if there is a T drop on WL , i back my statement that it should have 2+ armor save, specially with all these helldrakes flying around.

What is this I hear about Eldar getting move, shoot AND run or run then shoot?

Sounds awesome.

death - pretty spot on summary i think.

Carnifex - Could make a screamer killer fex for 113 points.
New carnifex - Can do the same, in a brood of 3, just for nearly twice the old price ...... each.

Or, get a lovely trygon for a bit more, but more wounds, and generally better stats.

I disagree. If he's an HQ choice and Rangers are Troop choices?

That's me adding a fluffy contingent of Alaitoc Rangers to my Guard, as wanderers on the Path of the Outcast finding mercenary work.

A sniper leading an army? Not my definition of fluffy.

Darkstrider begs to differ.

For that matter:
Notice what I said.

"A fluffy contingent of Alaitoc Rangers".
A sniper from a Craftworld known for its marksmen, leading a group of snipers from that same Craftworld?
Sounds fluffy to me.

Pizza, im with you on that one.
Allthough, since 6th hit everyones gone AP 1-2 crazy since it was getting rare to see.
Now on average i see units of dragons hitting the board every game, 1-3 units of.
