Been tempted to pick up some WM/H cephalyx beasties too. Those things would make amazing grotesques, but are pretty spendy.

Was just going to reccomend checking those out, though again they only have the one pose, and it's actually kind of similar to the current Grotesque model, though much bulkier.

Wow, much nicer pics! Thanks Pretre!

The Voidraven has been rumoured as in the mix on several occasions, and this is a huge, steaming, hint.

If you want one, I'd be quite an optimistic rabbit for two weeks time.

I have had a hard time keeping my hopes up ever since the rumored Inquisition skirmish game fell through.

However I will buy one if they build it. I don't have wrack fever, but I could not say no to a voidlanced voidraven piloted by Viovoid the void loving voidraven pilot.

Whether I buy any of these or not depends completely on the rules. If they are the same as current or worse, there's no chance I'll drop money on them.

I need to see the sprue. I have a place in my Dark Mechanicus for these no doubt if that back bit isn't molded in

same, I am tired of the lack of new models for Dark Mech conversions

At $36 before tax for 5 I hope its something elite for your sake.

Probably not but I don't need a lot of the weapons and such. After ebaying off the bitz I come out pretty even or I just buy the bitz I'm looking for.

Not gonna lie, I really like the look of the new models. Sure the haemonculi kinda looks like skrillex with it's hair that way but I think it really gives off the dark elf kinda vibe. The wracks don't look as skinny as the haemonculi but give me more of an uruk-hai feeling, which I am so ok with. The Wracks were pulled out of gloop and reshaping chambers while the uruk-hai were pulled from gloop and mud and evil. So I'm personally all for it.

And after a second look, the haemonculi's feet look like they belong on Michael Phelps. Clearly it just means that he's super athletic.

Skrillex does look a bit elf-ish.

I wonder what is in store for us after this first wave of models.

A plastic Archon seems like a no-brainer. And as a dual kit that can also make Vect.

The fact that the Dark Eldar's big boss man doesn't have a current model is all kinds of bizarre.

I seem to recall someone saying after our last release, when Vect was removed from the website altogether, that one of the GW phone jockeys said way back then "why do you think that is? Kinda hints at a new model doesn't it". Obviously nothing came of it and we can only speculate at this time. The only thing we know for certain is that particular phone jockey was never heard from ever again outside of missing persons reports.

Wracks are fantastic.
Yes they're different to Warriors and Wyches, but that doesn't make them a crap troop.

Ran in squads of 10 with 2 Liquifier Guns (maybe an Acothyst for flavour with a Venom Blade) in a Raider
-or-
Ran in Squads of 3 with an Acothyst and a Hex Rifle in a Venom.

The Raider Wracks fly across the board, drop some APD6 melty goodness, then hit CC with 30+ Poisoned attacks.
In return, they're T4 with FnP, so can take a hit back if needed.
They'll happily kill or tarpit most things.

Nope. No save worth mentioning and T4 = incredibly easy bolter fodder and are mowed down in droves. I've seen this again and again. That tactic works only if you have enough terrain in the battleground which is really iffy at best.

Warriors can stay at range with poison and wytches can take haywire which can rip apart knights and super heavies with shocking ease.

We'll have to disagree on this.

I have always wanted a Dark Elder army, this isn't helping. Maybe I can find some one to take my Tau and GK for some.

Take my money, all of it!

I really like what I'm seeing here!

Those Wracks look awesome, but $36 for 5 is rough, especially when 10 Wyches or Warriors cost less. I would like to get a box to use as conversion fodder for some cultists, but that price might keep me away from that.

Wow. 5 Wracks for more than a 10-man box. Maybe Warriors/Wyches will get Avenger'd and become 5-man boxes as well.

Buy in while you can.

I like the new models.

I have an old style (old metal/plastic) Dark Eldar army and these are the first non-vehicle models i might add.

Last codex the Grotesques got a lot bigger and Wracks got the rules of the old Grotesques.
I always field 1 unit of the old metal Grotesques as Wracks, always worked well beside warriors and wyches.

The new models look a bit like the old metal mandrakes as well in their black leather pants and naked upper body.

Mandrakes are a unit that i hardly ever used, so i might convert them with new wrack, so i can use them as mandrakes or wracks.
IF the new box set has any bits...

My Current Wracks are Plague Monkes with Milliputted smooth faces tbh.

Works quite well, and I'll quite possibly pick up a box or two of Wracks, then another box or two of Plague Monks....

Wow? They're a pound more than they used to be, and they're a multi part plastic kit now instead of failcast.

People said they'd retire the 10 man space wolf box, and that didn't happen either.

Before they were overpriced and produced in a garbage material that wasn't worth fething with at any price. Now they're just overpriced.

Still a change for the better! Yay!

And they actually added five more marines in the PAGK box

I...... think... I'm happy.

So why are they a pound more? And who cares how many bitz there are if you can still only build 5 guys.

So what? It could happen. This is a 5-man box that costs more than other 10-man boxes in the same range.

For slightly less than double the cost.

For less than double you say?
Progress

But you can still buy the 5-man box... if you're an idiot.

I like the new wracks, but I am not sure if I will mix them in with my old ones
