Also is there any word of new Harpies or Shades?? Sorry if this has been discussed, I just can't find it in me to trawl threw 29 pages of posts.
Shades and Harpies are still on the store at the moment when everything else getting new stuff has been removed, so seems like they're sticking around.

Sorry if these have already been answered but are any of these going to be replacing the Corsairs kit?
It's a bit weird them doing a second wave considering we haven't had one in over year

Why do you think that Corsairs need replacing? Why do you think that Black Guard or Executioners are a good replacement for Corsairs?

Only a few armies have so few plastic kits like Dark Elves. So to replace everything in Finecast/metal, DE needed more than one month's worth of releases.

Not sure if we will still have batallions in the age of one-click-bundles. Batallions including new stuff usually have taken 6 months or more to get released in the past. Grey Knights still have none. Others just got sprues taken out on rerelease.
Why do you think that Corsairs need replacing? Why do you think that Black Guard or Executioners are a good replacement for Corsairs?
I was just wondering as I really like the Corsairs models and wanted to know if I needed to pick some up, I'm not a fantasy player so I wasn't to sure about name changes and the like.
Interesting side note to the topic at hand here, Raging Heroes have had so many people asking about their future DE kickstarter that they have released some concept art they hadn't intended to.
Seems like a lot of people got really excited about this release then suddenly stopped to take a proper look at that models and said "Oh..." all together (I know I did).

No, it is not supposed to be out for 2 weeks. You are lucky.
Any info on other releases like Inquisition, paints, Chaos box? Please post confirmations in the respective threads.

You can generally figure out a "price band", so that's helpful.
The Fleetmaster looks to be $20 USD(price band on the plastic single piece characters--oddly enough it's not a huge price difference between regions)
Har Ganeth Executioners/Black Guard dual kit looks to be $50 USD(the Shadow Warrior/Sisters of Avelorn price band--blah)
Scourgerunner Chariot/Cold One Chariot looks to be $35 USD(price band of cavalry boxes like the Silver Helms)
I couldn't find something directly $45 AUD and the closest for the Doomfire Warlocks/Dark Riders is the Corpse Cart which rings in at $29.75--which if true makes Warlocks and Dark Riders a pretty good buy.

Are ALL of these pics from white dwarf or were some of them in the book released last month? sorry if that's already been answered but i haven't been keeping up to date.
Just seems weird if they released a book without pictures of models that would be released only a month later.

I actually don't mind them at all. In the context of being Dark Elf steeds, so there's essentially something "wrong" with them.
I wouldn't object to flat out "wrong" these are too close to real, so to my eye they look....incorrect?
But enough with the horse beavers, if anyone is keen to continue the discussion, I'll meet you over in the DE thread.
Well, that's why they do work for me. Not inaccurate to the point of ridiculousness (like the old Elven horses with cartoon faces) but like this - close to real, but ...wrong. Id' say subtly wrong, but they're not exactly subtle.
Ouch, those black guards and ,to lesser extent, executionner are static as hell, and all look to have the same boring pose. Hopefully, you can assemble them in differents ways, cause right now, while I think that each look good indiviually, as an unit they look terrible, and not in the hip way.

It's the curse of the GW dual kit, you can have either overly dynamic and therefore absolutely useless if you want more than 5-10 on the table (and honestly how can you not with the current meta) or completely and utterly static.
