As much as I like that they are FINALLY releasing Plastic Aspects, WTF is with the slow drip and the one mini reveal per week? Just release the whole shebang already!-

I'm 99% sure that the reason they're only revealing one mini per week is that they've got so few new minis to reveal.

I suspect by this time next week we'll have seen the entirety of the new Eldar/DE models. All four of them.

Can't say I am a fan of the model. Will have to see more from other angles before I pass final judgement, but for now. Eh. Also the Ink Quil boots she has are awful.

Hopefully Drazhar is better.

Lol...WTH...don't they have hairdressers in 40k?

Model looks okay. Doesn't blow me away, and is off the buy list mainly due to flimsy-flailing-fragile pieces syndrome, something I expected. Maybe could be cut/chopped to be on a normal base, and clip the banner tassles, etc.

Her new rule is definitely more useful..maybe? Depends on what you're attacking I suppose. I really hope that's not the only change to her stats/profile, but I suspect it may be. This'll mean, as a Phoenix Lord, she'll still be pretty mediocre/useless in most games.

PS: Note she has way more hair than even the older model...so it's just been growing out for the past 25 years.

You tell the ten thousand year old banshee gladiator her hair is too long.

Tbh given they gave us artwork of her fighting drazhar, the "omg you'll never guess who we have next!" Is a little deflating. I wish they'd just done both today.

To be honest, if you weren't someone who found the artwork via a forum like this where we had an image literally labeled with Drazhar's name via Warhammer Art's website?
You wouldn't know.

They pulled the image off Warhammer Art's website now and the only place it's posted is the Community "Artwork Sighted" bit, where it's not labeled with Drazhar.

Isn’t she leaping and they used the hair to hold her up instead of a flying stand to be cooler? I think she look incredible.

Xenos entitlement strikes again. You're 0.4% of sales so you get four models.

Seriously though, I think Jain Zar looks amazing. She's always been one of my favourite designs and the new mini will look super dynamic "in the flesh".

Apart from the fact that they've so far gone Banshee, Incubi, Jain Zar, ???. It seems pretty clear what's next and the art is a load of Banshees and Incubi.

They posted the image on warhammer community

so yeah, everyone knows its gonna be drazhar

Well technically there are likely going to be 5 Incubi and Banshees so 12 in total.

But yea, 4 units' worth, 2 for Eldar and 2 for Dark Eldar just shows the discrepancy between Imperium and Chaos model releases and everyone else. I hope this isn't all the Xeno factions can look forward to and I hope Eldar get more love.

100% I suspect it's tongue in cheek but still - it's becoming boring now.

That's a beautiful model. Let's hope the full rules makes her useful though - there are too many great models with crap rules.

The bright side it's after all an improvement on stability remember the Old model joint point was just the tip of her right shoe in a kind of ballerina position (albeit metal)

Yeah, but again...the Community page isn't meant to just mock the potato camera.

Personally, I would have revealed the characters today and then discussed the purported boxed set next Monday. But they clearly had plans to reveal the 'mystery'(but not really if you visit anywhere that rumors get discussed) character next Monday.

Awesome model and will be picking her up, the video gives us a better glimpse of how dynamic the model is, her back is arched in a way that looks to me that she is finishing her glaive sweep and winding up to launch her triskele.

Hopefully if the sales for her and the Banshees are good they'll move onto the other Aspect Warriors.

Still crossing my fingers for a Greater Daemon sized Plastic Avatar.

Would you have preferred to have all at once and have 6 weeks of nothing then?

Yeah, the floating on hair thing I'm not a fan of.

I'd prefer something in the middle like biweekly. Being unhappy with a silly slow release doesn't mean you want a stupid fast one either.

It wouldn't be DakkaDakka if someone was happy though.

I would doff my cap to that, genuine curve ball.

Wherever you try to kiss a fan, it's always ass.

And what did you expect exactly from Jain Zar model but not fragile and in the air; a metal box?

Well they didn't provide the entire rule set in the preview. Maybe she will have an aura ability.

True, I actually used the slotta-tab and her shoe point to make a "bit", and drilled a hole in my base so it stabbed into it, and served as an anchor

Did I say I expected anything different from modern GW? Please quote the post.

A nice but ill considered bit of swirly gak (tm) CAD work, wish sometimes they'd remember folks actually do play with these fancy pants war dollys

Jain Zar has always had silly big hair, but the new model is just ridiculous

Also, since GW apparently lost the ability to sculpt hair sometime in the mid-2000s, she looks rather like a porcupine.

A person who could literally be anyone?

Serious statement here, if you didn't know that it was labeled as "Drazhar" from the Warhammer Art page and reposted here--would you have actually been able to say, definitively, that it's Drazhar?
A reasonable person would outright say "No, I wouldn't be able to say that". You might think it's Drazhar, but since it's not like Jain Zar where it's basically just a touch-up of something we knew--it would have been a slight surprise.

And hell, if it hadn't been for Warhammer Art posting that artwork early? You likely wouldn't have had even the dang picture to go by!

She has one currently. It is "Howling banshee units within 6" cause enemy units within 1" to fight last".

It's pretty useless. I dunno, maybe she'll get a reroll aura or something, but it'll be limited to only Howling Banshees (like all the Pheonix Lords abilities) and since howling banshees are likely still kind of bad, it'd have to be pretty good for it to not just not matter.

drazar's current aura is even more worthless.

It's +1 to hit in melee combat for incubi. Which sounds OK! Until you realize:

1) He is already WS2+. Therefore it doesn't work on him despite him having the INCUBI keyword.
2) Incubi sergeants are already WS2+.
3) All Drukhari become WS2+ after turn 3 lol.

You have an aura that works turn 1-2 on one specific unit and not on the sergeant

Hope to god they change that ability out.
