I was thinking the exact same thing, but couldn't be bothered to look up the name The guy had a Huskblade (shown) and a piece of fancy soulstone armour (His armour definitely is fancy) so that would be a good guess. Just didn't want to say so without checking the naming so i didn't look stupid aha

the internet is the best place to look stupid...

So the archon edition is 70 usd more expensive(than the dracon) for a codex supplement? (Which have previously been 50 usd)

just noticed that. One would assume super disintegrators(VOID Disintegrators) and Void Lances.

From Mexican Ork:

I wonder what else they have cooked up. The succubus model seems to be gone as well. Maybe there's gonna be a new plastic model too? One can hope

What I don't understand tho, if that archon is in fact a new character, is why they remove existing characters with no models and then proceed to add brand new characters.

the only archon level characters in the book are Vect and Malays. Baron and Duke are something lessor. Thus if they wanted to add a new model for Vect, probably on a chariot or something and another male Archon they would need to invent one, or change Baron or Duke's rank.

this is what Im happy to see...The nobility of Commorragh

now think about this...there have been rumors about the void raven being ready for years...maybe the same could be said for some of the special characters...

anyways I would be very happy for some special characters or plastic clam packs to add to the collection...

Heres hoping...

I... don't know if I can justify the Limited Edition.

That's a lot of money....

And what's the possibility the Covens supplement is Hardback only in this and digital only otherwise?

anyone else notice how the IG look almost tailored to take on Dark Eldar while the DE look like a mismash of potentially terrible models grouped together that if they were using their 5th edition rules would have no chance of pulling off a victory in any reasonable mission.

I mean 3 Chimeras, 6 Taurax, 3 Hydras, 2 LRBT vs a DE army with no Ravagers, 4 Talos(that will probably not reach the lines) 4 jets, which will have to hope to take out the Hydras in one go(but after the hydras have 1-2 turns to down all the raiders). It doesnt look good.

I mean, who knows, perhaps the Void Raven's new rules are mega awesome and it has a weapon that just removes vehicle parking lots the moment it enters play(new void mine?)

Wait wait, what about a Haywire weapon?

That reminds me guys!

I've got an Asdrubael Vect on Dias I'm after selling if anyone is interested?

Unbuilt and still in its original Box !

Drop me a PM if you're interested!

I think you're looking for the Swap Shop. Try there.

Nah, they wouldn't do that. In this edition, you are supposed to fill your half of the table with walkers and vehicles.

Yeah, I agree. My question is why on earth are 4 measly khymerae being led by 3 beastmasters?
And are those wyches in the same squad as the beasts? If so... wow, does that open some possibilities!

In all the other "units" they have them seperated by at least a little space, so you can tell what is what.
but the Wych and Dogpack are touching bases.

How has no one commented on this:

Dark Eldar Data Cards $8 USD
6 Combat Drug Cards
36 Tactical Objective Cards

It's just their version of the psychic cards, I guess.

Strange how they get 36 all new tactical cards instead of just 6 like the Orks.

Honestly, it could just be (and probably is) 'put on table for what you roll'.
Still getting them.

I wonder if they're going to stick with the current stuff or tweak any of the rules for it.

If you think about how they used to operate in the older Codex when there was the Attacker and Defender these make sense. All of their cards might be made just for those kind of missions.

The Orks and the Spacewolves (and I assume Grey Knights, but I've not seen them with my own eyes) only have 6 new/different objective cards. The other 30 are identical to the general card set (rule wise). I would assume the DE will be the same. They can say the 36 cards are new because they all have army specific artwork on them.

Who says they're "all new"?

What is this? Looks like maybe an Archon or an Incubi?

looks to me like a generic Archon

Nope. Sword doesn't look the same shape as a huskblade.

Orks/SW/Gk all got 36 tactical cards, 6 are new, resultes 11-16. the rest are the same as the rulebook. +6 psychic cards.

DE looks same load out but instead of psychic cards, it will be combat drug results.

new archon/dracon? model



the model circled with incubi might be a klaivex option from a new plastic incubi kit

Could be a new generic Archon model.

I am more interested in the Wych in the center of the bottom right squad that appears to be holding some sort of halberd

That's a current model from the look of it.

Those are some fancy looking planes

really? I have never seen anything like it. It looks like the model is holding the weapon with both hands, far apart on the shaft and the blade is light a curved sword blade rather than a trident like all the other DE polearms. Perhaps I just dont know the range well enough.

Could be a new one? But then it looks more like this-
