If they really want to impress me then the Exodites will get a character representing them as well in the big Eldar quartet.

He could simply be painting it on a large spare base to prevent carpel tunnel as well.

*See's oval base*

*See's Exodite comment*

*Reasonable hype check*

*Breathing intensifies*

Always the optimist i see lol.

Maybe just a bigger base because it has two models on it ?

Or maybe this Eldar is bigger than the average one? Or maybe trailing a rather large cloak behind it.

That's a big gyrinx. Lovely way to to reveal a new model and keep us teased for the rest of it.

Yeah, that's a big base for what is presumably a single eldar character, even with the cat on it. Would love it to be Malys with a particularly elaborate train on her dress but I wouldn't have thought the Deldar to have Gyrinx around what with them being somewhat psychic.

OP has been updated.

As cool as a new (old) eldar faction would be I actually hope they don't go that route. We are reaching insane levels of bloat and too many factions are becoming stagnant. I don't think it's exodites also because there have been zero rumors of exodites. It will probably be a shadowseer special character, after all the harlequins have a very small line of models and it makes sense to expand it, especially when they are playing a role in the campaign.

Whats the purpose of that snark?

I paint hundreds of models a year and I am simply shedding some light on this, I use massive bases for fiddly models often, positioned near the edge just like he has it.

Oh my, a Gyrinx! I'm a happy little pointy ear.

That's actually a good shout. I'd figured the picture was somewhat distorted but it could just be it's on an oval base.

It's not that large of a base.

It's the same size base as the Skitarii with Transauranic Arqebus, the 60x35.5mm Oval Base

It's the same base used on the overkill whitescar biker mini I believe, so yea not really that big.

Big enough to fit a Dark Elf Cold One Knight on it. With room to spare....

Please note that GW makes and uses no less than 6 oval bases.

From smallest to largest:
60x35mm - bike base
75x42mm
90x62mm
105x70mm
120x92mm - traditional Flyer base
170x105mm - Knight base

So indeed the one pictured on the Grynx is not that big. But is it the 60x35, or the 75x42?

It is. Gyrinx looks to be about as big as a Gryph-Hound, and in order to get that kind of base usage you need to do 60x35.5mm

i'd say its the 60x35 base, that base is supper small

Dude, your not getting your dino-rider

But seriously, if it's an exodite I'll eat my hat. If there was someone riding a big lizard I would have expected Cawl to have mentioned it in that little excerpt we've seen.

Do you want hot sauce with that

Incredibly unlikely there will be an exodite. We already have descriptions of the force and characters and none pop out as an outcast. It also makes no sense fluff wise, exodites avoid everyone like the plague, they are space hermits that exist on the fringes of the galaxy. I would expect them to pop up in another campaign involving Nids and or Necrons from the eastern fringes before they would pop up near the eye of terror, you know, the exact site of the destroyed Crone worlds they went as from away from as possible.

That said, I am not crapping on the idea, just adding some salt to the reality of the situation. BTW you can build an exodite army already using DE and CWE kits mixed with Seraphon/Aelf kits pretty easily.

Well rumor has it there are 4 codices left this year. Also there are ancient rumors from 2016 of exodites.

While the fluff from Fall of Cadia doesn't mention an Exodite character, the 5th edition rulebook (which introduced the then new Time of Ending storyline including the Emperor's throne failing and the Astronomicon flickering) came with this Eldar map showing lots of Exodite Worlds



There were a few rumors about Exodites during the last 18 months, the latest this week from WiskeyPriest on Faeit who was told one of the new Eldar character models would be an Exodite. While I don't consider this an information from a reliable source, Atia mentioned there is a chance for an Exodite release at least twice last year. I'm not convinced by the current rumors that it will happen now but if Celestine was meant to be a 'teaser release' for SoB later in 2017, the same could happen with an Exodite character model.

And the WZF campaign book 1 didn't spoiler the Thousand Sons release either

Gyrinxes are more associated with Harlequins and Craftworlders than Exodites, for what it's worth - Exodites generally prefer the scaly kind of critter.

That psyker-cat is quickly going to become the most in-demand bit going, I think.

Gryph-Hounds > Gyrinxes fite me

We should start seeing DoT leaks soon! Tomorrow at the latest.

What is DoT?

Disciples of Tzeentch, which will be posted in the appropriate thread. Also, we should be seeing the first preorders on the NZ site in about 15 minutes.

Edit: Ninja'd by Ghaz!
But wait, wasn't there a thread specific for DoT and not for AoS in general? I can't seem to find it now

Ah not much of sigmar player. Although the beastclaw raiders and ork maw crushers are great.
